    Network pics thread

    Nice work on that. I am curious about the RB260GSP, routerboard site shows POE in is YES, does that mean that it can power on via POE as well, and if so, can it ALSO pass through that power to the WAPS? Would love to see if/when you run fiber to their garage how you do it. I am wanting to do...

    Looking for guidance with SMART testing on a server

    I sure hope this isnt idicative of a problem, but it is only at 30% scanned, 48 hours to go, lol. No errors still.... could it be that I am at 68% of array in use? It was at like 28.95% done earlier...

    Looking for guidance with SMART testing on a server

    Ok, so it is STILL running, about 30% done, with 15 hours to go. No erros found, so that is a plus. Do these scans address fragmentation as well? Zpool was 28% fragmented last night before the scan... shame on ME.

    Looking for guidance with SMART testing on a server

    I am actually running my first ever (that I recall) zpool scrub now. Roughly 1TB per hour, 500 Meg done, 6 hours to go. I appreciate the link you provided, I will need to look into it. Thank you!!

    Experience with or opinions of 'Platinum Tools' products??

    Hello everyone, I am looking to see if anyone has experience with or opinions of 'Platinum Tools' products. I lent out my network cable tools to someone, or managed to lose them in the process of a move, so I have no idea where they are. I am fairly certain they were lent and not returned...

    Dedicated server advice

    Just for the sake of comparison, do you have the space to run hardware at home? That is what I did. I bought a 2U Supermicro server and just run it out of my house. Save up a little for the hardware, then use the $100-$120 / month on your ISP. You can get a decent server for under $400 shipped...

    Server memory questions

    Thank you for the suggestion, that is what I am going to do. I got the server and IBM card from ebay, you would THINK I would have checked there for the memory. Might as well get MY memory replaced too, lol. I found a seller with 16 gig lots (4x 4gig) sticks for $80. It APPEARS to be the same...

    Where to purchase Ubiquiti gear?

    I ordered mine from Amazon. I got it for $20 shipped. It WAS more than that, but I signed up for a Chase Amazon credit card, got approved, and got a $50 credit towards my first purchase. It was TOTALLY worth it, LOL.

    Network pics thread

    Is there a way to specify the picture size, or post just thumbs with a link to the full size pic? Sorry for the huge pictures. Current Network storage pool on the server is 14.2 TB, only 10TB free and shrinking. I custom build 6 (2.5") drive sled for SSD's in my server. I didn't want to...

    Server memory questions

    Hello all, I am sorry if this isn't the correct forum for the post, please move it if you feel it would be a better fit somewhere else. I have a server at home with 24 gigs of memory, and I am looking to increase that, and htop is showing me that MUCH of that is in use. Currently 22 Gigs, and...

    Questions about Supermicro rack mount cases before buying

    Well, I took the leap at purchased a server today. I went with a 2U solution which was under $350 shipped. This is MUCH less than I was expecting to spend. I can't wait to get it here and test it out and dive in! Supermicro SC826TQ-R800LPB Chassis (12 hot swap 3.5" drives) Supermicro X8DTN+...

    Questions about Supermicro rack mount cases before buying

    I have 5 drives ready to go, they are five WD RED 4 TB (WD40EFRX) drives. My original plan was to put them in my desktop and start from there, but I have a bunch of WD 2 TB drives and some seagate 500 gig drives in it already, in addition to the fact that the rig is just dying. I would have to...

    Questions about Supermicro rack mount cases before buying

    Looking at the Supermicro 846 series there are many different models. At first it seemed overwhelming, but then I briefly made a spreadsheet with the model info, back plane info, PSU info. http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/?chs=846 After going though this, I have determined...
