    Storage Spaces disk integrity?

    Sure, just use the windows build of smartctl. Heath of disks under Windows can be based on the SMART health warning. I had a disk once that had 3 End to End errors and Windows was complaining about that but SMART also showed a FAILED state at that point. The disk itself was fine. Oh, from what...

    WARNING: Win10 install software can eat your data!!!

    Maybe you did not have a standard MBR or GPT layout (or not on all) on the disk so it assumed it was empty?

    Need storage/backup solution for work.. Upgrade to Synology 1515+....?

    Wait for DSM 6 and go with btrfs. Snapshotting cannot be ignored in the current state of the IT world with Crypto viruses hitting all the time. Restoring from a snapshot is way easier than from a backup.

    Amazon.de is perfectly fine (at least stuff sold/shipped directly by Amazon), delivery is not prohibitive as it was for us a couple of years ago. Thanks! The Marvell is currently at home to play with.

    Quite normal with this controller as it uses the same driver as the mobo's and it probably gets scanned sooner. Consider yourself lucky, at least it works :). I'll hunt around for an ASMedia one. Thanks for the tip!

    Inexpensive ZFS or BTRFS build

    I resorted to stripping some insulation and soldering a cable with 2 SATA power connectors to the single power cable they supplied. You can get some nice SATA splitters (InLine 29683V, but only available in western EU). Another point I'd like to mention is that the PEXSAT32 was a total failure...

    Yes. Modules can be placed very flexibly since Core2 at least. Servers usually have specific requirements but the T20 and likes are more desktop. For T20: channel A: memory sockets 1 and 3 channel B: memory sockets 2 and 4 You'd want to load up the channels equally, so you'd fill slot 1...

    Inexpensive ZFS or BTRFS build

    The single google hit with screenshots on ebay show they are exactly Unbuffered ECC RAM. Count the chips, there should be 9 identical ones on the populated sides. It makes no sense to build with a motherboard and CPU that support ECC and then save on the RAM.
