    1TB M.2 SATA SSD

    I took the Samsung 850 EVO: the SanDisk X400 was no longer available and all SSD prices were rising since I opened this thread. Today I read this is a trend which is going to continue, so I bought it.

    1TB M.2 SATA SSD

    Hi, I'm looking for a 1TB SSD with the M.2 connector which works with the SATA bus (my laptop's M.2 connector uses SATA instead of PCI-Express). I want to install it into a Dell XPS 13 9343 (Broadwell). I fear that newer SSDs like the Samsung 960 EVO (which is NVMe and the only one I know to...

    Intel X25-M G2 under Linux - anyone else?

    4k? shouldn't x25-m gen2 be aligned with 512K blocks? I aligned both partitions and file system (ext4). I also use a kernel >= 2.6.33 because of trim (need to use discard mount option in fstab) and a modified version of the wiper.sh script which works with x25-m gen2 with the latest firmware.

    Building Low Cost RAID6 (8x 2TB)

    Really? This should explain why EARS are more expensive than EADS even if they have more cache. Can someone else confirm newer EADS can be TLED enabled?

    Building Low Cost RAID6 (8x 2TB)

    I was going to buy 4x2TB green drives (raid 5 with perc 6/i), do you suggest me hitachi drives instead?

    Better MTBF-price-power consumption HDD?

    I need how much storage space as possibile, but for the moment 6/8 TB is enough (and I can't spend more). Buy 1TB drives is not a good idea because I will have to replace them sooner to increase capacity when the server will be full... I don't care about noise but I care about power, bacuse I...

    Better MTBF-price-power consumption HDD?

    1TB? Uhm... I will have to replace it sooner and I will consume the double of the power. Isn't a WD20EADS a better option?

    Better MTBF-price-power consumption HDD?

    It has to have an high MTBF, low power consumption and possibly low price. It can be both sata or sas, but I fear sas hard disks are all too expensive. I will make a raid 5 with a perc 6/i controller (I will start with 3/4 hard disks and I will buy some more in the future up to 8). Thank you

    (wannabe) 10TB+ server: sata connectors problem

    Surely not Debian. Also binary blobs mean problems. This is not the only complaint I found, there are plenty of them unfortunatey.

    (wannabe) 10TB+ server: sata connectors problem

    Whoops, 6 GB I'm sorry :D LSI 1068E is VERY cheap because it is SHIT: it hasn't open source drivers and so it is not a viable option. About the mobo, I paid it only 100$ ;) I had a look at the Supermicro SASLP-MV8: do I need an expander or maybe a special cable? It hasn't 8 sata ports...

    (wannabe) 10TB+ server: sata connectors problem

    I think I solved trimming the sata connector's housing :D Many thanks to Asposium! http://darkbasic.homelinux.com/images/P1010990.JPG http://darkbasic.homelinux.com/images/IMG_4099.JPG
