    4-pin hot swap fan recomendations

    Ok, so if i could distill my question down it would be this: Of the choices in that link, should i match the top RPM of the fan to my current rating (3400RPM) and trust the PWM will do its job, or target something lower...next lowest is like 2,000RPM max i think. 2U server chassis with 6...

    4-pin hot swap fan recomendations

    quick background: case is a supermicro 822-T with 4x 80mm 3400 RPM fans (3 pin). Intel motherboard has 4pin headers.[FWIW i did have to purchase the SM front panel breakout adapter, but it has a 2 wire lead, and the motherboard has but one]. Intel documentation gives me every indication that...

    Help finalizing my storage (small all-in-one)

    Ok, thanks for the clarity in the definition....now I follow you. Perhaps I should have said stand-alone/one-box deployment? Any further thoughts on the drive selection?

    Help finalizing my storage (small all-in-one)

    Gea, thanks. A few things: IT mode is no-RAID...ergo no RAID 10. I'm aware of the various flash methods from STH. While I'd love to be able to support an SSD array a few problems arise there: The additional cost of an 2.5" adaptor to 3.5" SATA hotswap size: the geospatial data does have a...

    Help finalizing my storage (small all-in-one)

    Currently have my hypervisor booting off a small SSD drive using one of the mobo's SATA III channels. I'll do my best to keep this as concise as possible, thanks to everyone for all the great advice on here. I have 6 hotswap SATA bays to fill. I plan to use 2 2TB WD Red's RAID1 simply to store...

    Hyper-v server 2012 passthrough

    Yes, which I had known that 2nd statement before I created that volume. Oh well, the drive array is still TBD, just got impatient and used some 1TB greens I had kicking around.

    Hyper-v server 2012 passthrough

    Ok that sounds like a great plan. Hyper-V is on SSD right now. I got impatient and didn't buy a USB that hyper-V could mount, so I kind of blew it there. I actually tossed in some WD greens I had kicking around so I could give it a go. Need to purchase my drives still...thats my big investment...

    Intel C2750 8-core Atom Questions

    Okashira...that would be very tempting. I love the 32gigs of ram, but the supermicro s1260 has USB 3.0, sata III, dual Nic plus lights out. That's not bad and STH was clocking 16w under load with a platter drive. This release of the C2750 is a BIG leap forward even if you don't like it. Makes...

    Intel C2750 8-core Atom Questions

    haven't decided on storage, but i'm also not looking to serve it up to anything except maybe a home wireless network and stream it...unless maybe i can BT out some music to another device. Satellite is the connection, could have 4G with another carrier, but my company wont opt for that...

    Intel C2750 8-core Atom Questions

    @D50man, yep...solar panels and battery bank...inverter pumps out clean 120v. The power consumption in the review of the SuperMicro SYS-5017-EF at STH look real promising (12-16w).

    Intel C2750 8-core Atom Questions

    Its hard because every thread (on many forums) people just hatin' on the Atom...But the power consumption is hard to match. Maybe I should start a new thread....

    Intel C2750 8-core Atom Questions

    I know the price will be ridiculous....you're right on that. However, i'm starting to get the itch to build a small media server/home lab based on a very low power consumption (my home is off-grid and power usage is critical). I may still look at the S1260. Think I could get Hyper-V...

    Intel C2750 8-core Atom Questions

    Wow, this looks pretty awesome for a low-power server. I've been digging for info, but its too new to get a price on. http://electronicdesign.com/blog/idf-2013-and-windows-8-revisited Looked directly at SuperMicro but all it says is coming soon. :( The predecessor (the Intel Atom S1260) is...
