    ESXi 5 datastore - NAS or local RAID

    Ordered the PC parts and a Synology 412+, should be here next week. I'll update once I get things up and running.

    ESXi 5 datastore - NAS or local RAID

    I use iSCSI with our vmware cluster at work and it works well but we have a solid switch infrastructure and bigger NAS systems. I guess I'm just trying to get some confidence that a 4 bay soho NAS like the DS412+ or TS469L connected to an inexpensive netgear 8 port gig switch will work well with...

    ESXi 5 datastore - NAS or local RAID

    Agreed, guess that's why I'm on the fence with which way to go. I was looking at a Synology 412+ for $670 as an alternative to the Qnap. I currently have a cheap Netgear 8 port gig switch i'd use. I could have the vmware host use one NIC for guest traffic and the second for iSCSI.

    ESXi 5 datastore - NAS or local RAID

    As of today, the only things hitting the storage would be the vmware host, 3-4 PCs and a PS3. They all could connect to the NAS directly or a Windows CIFS share with the storage on a vmware guest stored on the LSI RAID set. At the end of the day it seems like a wash. Unless I'm missing...

    ESXi 5 datastore - NAS or local RAID

    I'm looking to setup a home ESXi box for some light work / testing (AD, Exchange 2010, etc) and home use (iTunes, Plex, CIFS shares for pictures and MP3s, DLNA, etc). I'm looking for a large capacity datastore, something like 4 x 2 TB RAID5 = 6 TB or so. I also want it to be quiet as it will...

    Are there any mini ITX boards that support 4 RAM slots?

    I'm looking to setup a test vmware system and I would like to get an i3 or i5 CPU with 8 GB of RAM. The 2 x 4GB RAM kits are still pretty expensive, so I was looking to get a 4 x 2GB kit but I can't find a mini ITX board with 4 RAM slots. I would also need built in video and a slot to add a...

    Confused about AMD 3800+ and X2 3800+ CPUs

    Thanks. I found this review on X2 processors which shows that the X2 is 10-20% slower than the single core 3800+ CPU in single threaded applications which makes sense based on the core clock speed of each CPU. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/athlon64-x2-3800.html It seems a...

    Confused about AMD 3800+ and X2 3800+ CPUs

    I’m a bit confused about AMD CPU ratings, specifically with the X2 dual core CPUs. I pulled these specs off of NewEggs site for two 3800+ AMD CPUs, the first is a single core and the second is a dual core: $283 AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3800BPBOX -...
