    5405z + 24bay SM BackPlane Weird issue

    Yeah, except the test he did didn't really confirm that. Just because you leave the system in power-on mode for longer doesn't mean the drives are spinning up. SATA drives behind a RAID controller typically will not spin-up until the SATA Phy Interface (Physicial I/F) becomes active with a...

    5405z + 24bay SM BackPlane Weird issue

    Have you tried tweaking the staggered spin up settings? In the Power Management Settings on the Adaptec card, there should be an option called something like "Spin Up Limit (internal)". This impacts the number of internal drives to be spun up at any given moment. By default, it is set to 0...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    What about migrating additional configurations? If you have permissions/etc setup in OI, is there an easy way to export through napp-it and import again in the new install?

    NAS upgrade - looking for advices

    If you're not too picky on "bays" and you have some spare room in your case, you could look at picking up a couple of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1DS0FR8897 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1DS0FR8898 And if "hot swap" is a must, there are...

    136TB of NAND flash in a 1U storage array

    I assume it's like their older 44TB model. Should look something like: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/storage/display/20121016215551_Micron_20nm_NAND_Flash_Powers_Solid_State_Storage_for_Big_Data.html

    To RAID or not. Home server questions

    This is a common setup that I have seen on this board. The all-in-one ESXI + NAS VM. I use it myself (but with Napp-It on top of OI instead of FreeNAS). Here are some great references: http://www.napp-it.org/doc/downloads/all-in-one.pdf http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1573272

    Seagate 4TB NAS HDD

    While it's not sub $150, I saw that the WD Red WD40EFRX 4TB is on sale for $179 today on newegg. So the "NAS drives are slowly but surely becoming more affordable.

    Seagate 4TB NAS HDD

    I'm not sure I've ever seen the ST4000VN000 for $140. I know you can commonly find the desktop version, ST4000DM000, for the $139 - 169 range. As for the "NAS" ST4000VN000 and the WD Red WD40EFRX NAS drive, I have seem them both frequently on sale in the range of $189 - $200 on both newegg...

    4TB Drive Options - ST4000VN000 vs WD40EFRX

    I wasn't really seeing anything either way to prove one better than the other. The Seagate might have barely faster sequential access, but the WD Red's save a 1W per drive on power. We're not talking big differences in either, so it really feels like a coin-flip. Although I guess the 1W per...

    4TB Drive Options - ST4000VN000 vs WD40EFRX

    I have a little of both, a couple VM's for random I/O and some media for sequential. In the past, I have always tried to keep matching drives in any given vdev. I wasn't sure what the impact of mixing 5900 and 5400 drives would be. I had considered just buying 6 of one for my first vdev, and...

    4TB Drive Options - ST4000VN000 vs WD40EFRX

    I recently picked up a Supermicro 846TQ system with QC Opteron and 16GB of memory. My intention is to migrate to ZFS setup and transfer my current ~14TB of data to a better setup. I am looking at starting with a 6-disk RAIDZ2 configuration using 4TB drives to copy my data into and then adding a...
