    WD white label showing some errors normal?

    Hi all, I run a Solaris VM in ESXi, passing through a LSI 9201i-16 that is currently connected to 16 2TB Western Digital WD2003FYYS. Space is tight, so I bought a WD Easystore 14TB unit, gutted it, and installed the WD140EMFZ drive in a backup system that has the same controller for testing...

    PCIe lanes discrepancy?

    Also, this is somewhat confusing since if the max bandwidth for x4 is 1.6GB/sec, how is this happening?

    PCIe lanes discrepancy?

    As a follow up, I put the video card in the x4 slot and the SSD in the x16 slot

    PCIe lanes discrepancy?

    What would cause there to be a difference between max link speed and current link speed?

    PCIe lanes discrepancy?

    Yeah, pulling the video card or swapping positions was next on my list. I also thought that 1660 was nothing to shake a stick at, but 600MB/sec is what a SSD over a SATA3 port will do too!

    PCIe lanes discrepancy?

    Hmmm...didn't think of that, but I did pull the sound card and tried again. Same result. The CPU is an E5-1650v2. I even upgraded the BIOS to the latest version.

    PCIe lanes discrepancy?

    Hi guys, I have an old Supermicro X9SRi-F where the documentation says there is one PCIe 3.0 x16, one 3.0 x8 and one 2.0 x4. I recently bought a Samsung 950 Pro M.2 and bought the Lycom DT-120 and installed it into the 3.0 x8 slot. To my surprise, CrystalMark was showing 1660MB/s vs the...

    Virtualizing a HTPC

    The route of a Win7 VM and using an Xbox 360 as an extender will work; however, directly connecting an output display to a VM with a passed through GPU barely works and I wouldn't recommend it. Test setup: Supermicro X9SRI-F Intel E5-2620 32GB ECC RAM PowerColor AX7750 1GBD5-DH Radeon HD 7750...

    Memtest reports correct memory figures?

    For the E5, I bought these (Samsung DDR3-1600 16GB ECC/REG Samsung Chip Server Memory - M393B2G70BH0-YK0). The funny thing is when I go into the BIOS, I think it's running at 1333MHz. I also heard things like taking a hit in speed with larger chips or with more RAM to access. It's funny that...

    Memtest reports correct memory figures?

    Hi guys, My original server was a Supermicro X9SCM-F with a E3-1230 and 16GB (4x4GB unbuffered ECC) RAM. I decided that it would be my backup server and I built a new server with a Supermicro X9SRI-F with a E5-2620 (I wasn't going to spend big bucks for something over 3GHz) with 32GB (4x8GB...

    It's a HR-01 3U ....made specifically for a 3U chassis. I bought one a while ago when I built a HTPC, but found out recently that they are discontinued when I went to buy some recently. I managed to find a guy who had two for sale and jumped on them.
