    Dell 265w 80 plus gold for 6 x 3tb on 12vb rated 9a enough?

    It looks like on this particular Dell unit, the 12v wire on the ATX 4pin is yellow, the 12v on the others are orange and that includes (24pin atx, and all the sata) looks good. This is inline with what I've read on some of the dual rail designs where one rail is just for the cpu and the other is...

    Dell 265w 80 plus gold for 6 x 3tb on 12vb rated 9a enough?

    First, thank you all very much for your help! After doing some more reading (i will verify when I get home), if the manufacturer was diligent, they would use different yellow wires for different rails. (all yellow for one and yellow with black stripe for other rail) I have my fingers crossed...

    Dell 265w 80 plus gold for 6 x 3tb on 12vb rated 9a enough?

    How I distinguish the two rails? Do I assume that the 24-pin atax mobo, and 4-pin atx cpu runs off the 17a, and I have 2 cables coming out of the power supply that each have 2 sata power connects and assume those are on the 9a rail? I guess I am trying to figure out how to put two drives on...

    Dell 265w 80 plus gold for 6 x 3tb on 12vb rated 9a enough?

    I am building a NAS and I want to make it more power efficient. I bought a Dell 265w 80 plus gold power supply thinking that it was single rail, but it turns out it has 2 12v rails: 12va rated 17a 12vb rated 9a I plan to run 6-8 3tb lower power drives 5900rpm (not 7200rpm) with a Intel...

    Howto: Freenas 8/9S VM on ESX5i with SAS2008 HBA and multiple CPUs and Multiple Nics

    UPDATE: it looks like it was the CPU issue. I lowered it down to one core and it seems to be working fine now. Transferred 400GBs and still going...speeds only at 58-60MB/s though. Even though you only assign 1 CPU, there is no limit to use one cpu, resources consumed show 3.5ghz, even though...

    Howto: Freenas 8/9S VM on ESX5i with SAS2008 HBA and multiple CPUs and Multiple Nics

    I am having so much trouble with FreeNAS on ESXI. I have it running, everything is set up. I have 7 x 2TB drives I am running on raidz2 and when I try to do large transfers, it always fails. FreeNAS freezes entirely in ESXI, and I have no clue why. Any help or guidance appreciated. I tried...

    Home ESX / NAS build

    To be honest, Intel was too expensive for me, so I went AMD: X6 1045T 6-core Asus M5A97 motherboard (supports VT-D and ECC ram) 16GB of ECC ram Mobo+CPU cost me about $150, and the ram, another $120. That's what I am running my ESXI 5 and FreeNAS 8.0.4 on. It's not fully up and...

    Anyone still using SRT (caching) drives? Thoughts?

    The OCZ Synase 64gb is overprovisioned so it only has 32gb capacity if I am not mistaken. Also the synapse is great for non z68/z77 platforms because it comes with cache software.

    Howto: Freenas 8/9S VM on ESX5i with SAS2008 HBA and multiple CPUs and Multiple Nics

    Thank you for your help! I have the virtualized FreeNAS up and running. As I was in the FreeNAS virtual machine's BIOS to disable unused devices, I noticed that there was an option for ECC. I have ECC ram running in my server, should or I enable ecc on the virtual machine for it to work at the...

    Howto: Freenas 8/9S VM on ESX5i with SAS2008 HBA and multiple CPUs and Multiple Nics

    BTW, thank you for your help, I spent a good 45min-1hr trying to figure out how to edit loader, I've never used FreeBSD or FreeNAS, I'll give this a shot. Thanks. Oh I've been having trouble with signing into FreeNAS to manage it, several things to try to figure out.

    Howto: Freenas 8/9S VM on ESX5i with SAS2008 HBA and multiple CPUs and Multiple Nics

    what kidn of performance do you get? Which CPU do you have? I have a hex-core 1045t I was going to dedicate 2 or 4 cores to it, but sounds that might be an issue.

    intel 510 vs 520

    Sandforce drives are great. I have a Corsair Force GT, no problems for 4 months so far, sure that's only a short period of time. Intel 520 is probably even more reliable since Intel validated it for a long time, and they definitely don't want to blemish their records as the most reliable SSD...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Ok, I've made another baby step in progress. I was able to enable the security sharing menus for XP, you have to disable simple sharing to get those settings to appear, for those that care. Windows XP SP3 is installed as virtual machine on the same ESXi box. Now I try to set folder permissions...
