• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    ESXi box

    I've found running with an SD is perfect for a home box. Why waste a drive that's unnecessary? If you were at the bootloader odds are the cstate/processor performance wasn't at a lower level causing increased power usage/fan rpm. I've found it can take a whilw. But you will get the hairdryer...

    If you remove the iscsi port binding what happens? Its been a while since I dealt with standard switches and iscsi. I don't think they handle traffic any differently. Just curious even with a flat network why not subnet off your iacsi traffic?
