    Use a 2700x for a Hyper V & File Server Upgrade?

    Ya, 64GB isn't a must be it would be nice to be able to add more later... I bought the 32GB back when DDR3 was cheap ($50/8GB) so it'd be nice to grab some more if DDR4 ever gets cheap. Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials is one of my VMs and it likes ram so I give it 8GB the others are on dynamic...

    Use a 2700x for a Hyper V & File Server Upgrade?

    Hi all! My server is feeling a little under powered & old these days... So I'm looking to upgrade my current file server/hyperV setup from an Intel i5-2500K w32GB ram & an ARC-1882IX-16. I have a smaller budget so I'm looking to go with (on sale for black Friday) : AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    So I'm going to be replacing my 12 - 3TB seagates to 8 - 8TB HGST Deskstar NAS Drives soon on my ARC 1882IX-16... I'm still on V1.51 (2012-07-04) firmware. I tried upgrading to 1.54 but it didn't work. Do I have to go to 1.52, 1.53 first? Are there any new Advanced Configurations setting for...

    Why does enterprise IT insist on controller cards?

    Are you able to switch to ArcGIS Pro? I'm sure it would scream on dual CPUs even if they're only 1.9GHz. :D I'd like to start testing it this fall but we won't get much of a boost as our network is our current bottle neck (has been forever)... :mad:

    RMAing a HDD - Wipe the drive?

    I had a couple of my Seagate 3TB drives fail on my RIAD 6 array on my Areca 1882ix-16 over the past couple of months. They have a bunch of bad sectors and fail the short DST test on Seagate tools. I bought the 3 year In-Store Product Replacement for them because they only had a one year...

    Need Advice for a Modern Day WHSv1 Replacement

    WSE 2012 & R2 has a dashboard similar to WHS & WHS 2011. (see image bellow) I'm not sure what they changed but it's super fast compared to WHS & WHS 2011! :confused: You only have to worry about the domain part if your Windows version can join a domain (Pro, Ultimate & Enterprise). I only...

    Need Advice for a Modern Day WHSv1 Replacement

    StableBit DrivePool works with WSE 2012(R2) and you don't have to join the domain... I run both WHS 2011 & WSE 2012 in Hyper V on 2008R2... I'm just about ready to retire my WHS. :( WHS 2011 has a the same problem with slow backups that WHS has... they fixed that in WSE 2012 so I just use...
