    Server room environment

    I'm using sensors just lying on the floor on a loft that is not used. I'm planning to put a rack up there along with 3-4 servers. It is quite a large room, and I guess it will be cold up there in the winter. Maybe I should just place my servers somewhere else. I guess investing in a big...

    Server room environment

    I though I'd post this question here as a lot of you guys has experience with server rooms. I have put a sensor that registers air humidity and temperature in a room that I have planned to use as a server room. I am little concerned about the humidity as it varies quite a bit, and I hope not to...

    Thinking about moving to ZFS

    I would definitely do that and store my important files in a separate zpool folder. How much space does a snapshot require (depends on how much data it is a snapshot of)? And, would I be better off with two raidz's as far as performance is concerned?

    Thinking about moving to ZFS

    Why do you want two raids instead of one? If one of the raids go down, the data in the pool would be lost, wouldn't it? Also, do I have to create a filesystem on top of the pool, or could I simply store all my data directly on the pool, eg. /tank?

    Thinking about moving to ZFS

    I am researching ZFS, and I believe that this is the best forum out there when it comes to designing huge filesystems for personal use. I myself are intrigued by it's features such as data corruption prevention. However, I am a total newbie when it comes to ZFS so i'm asking for a little help...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    I'll try contacting a few people here on the forum, hope they have a card for me. I have no problems buying from overseas, bought several other raid cards from sellers at ebay. Well, they only sell them to companies :(

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Oh my, you guys really did some research :D "Halvliterstort kraftverk" does not make any sense! Maybe their site was google translated :P As for the language translations, google translate does some wierd stuff :D Btw, Norwegian is supposed to be the language that is easiest for a native english...

    I tried placing a order with amazon, but they could not ship it here :(

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    That makes sense, the seller states that this is a bulk card, and no other accessories are included with the sale. It's not very cheap as a bulk card, but with the cheapest shipping option to Norway, it ain't that bad. I am only concerned about the firmware, as I do not have the possibility...

    On this picture: http://img.inkfrog.com/click_enlarge1.php?image=IMG_0414.JPG&username=telnetliquid&aid=256441522 I can see the S/N: 487738-001, so I would be safe buying this?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Right, so I could use the Intel expander and connect all the drives to that one in my current setup, and use the second connector on my HBA to connect to a PCI bracket, and then link externally to another case with a second expander in that one?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    I was thinking RES2CV240, as the one you mentioned is being discontinued later this year. I have a Norco 4220, but if I want another case just for drives, would it be smarter to go with the HP one, cause I would loose one connector on the Intel one, and not be able to connect all the drives in...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Already did, he does not know what firmware is on the card or the production date. It looks like a green card, and the price is quite good :) However, I came across the Intel sas expander. How does the Intel card compare to the Hp one?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Is this the same card as the 468406-B21? It's called 468405-002, but the seller thinks it is the same. http://www.ebay.com/itm/468405-002-487738-001-HP-24-BAY-3Gb-PCI-E-SAS-EXPANDER-Controlller-CARD-/140754881652?pt=US_Server_Disk_Controllers_RAID_Cards&hash=item20c5a50c74#ht_2164wt_1165
