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.

    To anyone who has removed the spacer/shim from an Intel 520 SSD

    I feel like my sysadmin merit badge should be confiscated for confessing this but the times that I've had to remove the spacer, I've just secured the top with two pieces of scotch tape.

    Fastest way To Populate 30TB To My New System

    I went from a 12tb array (6x2TB Hitachi) to an 27TB array (9x3TB Hitachi) recently and the fastest way for me was to take the drives from the 12tb array and throw it into the unpopulated slots in mu new Norco DAS.

    [NEWS] Chenboro SAS2 6G Expander Board

    I was able to test the dual linking external sff-8088 ports and it appears to be working.

    [NEWS] Chenboro SAS2 6G Expander Board

    Did you ever get a chance to test the SFF-8088 external ports to see if they function interchangeably as in/out ports? Also any chance to test dual-linking? It's confirmed that any of the internal SFF-8087 "in" ports can function as an "out" port and vice versa, correct? I'm about to order...

    WHS vs Drobo

    I have a DroboFS that i tested as a possible in house NAS solution for my office, it sucks. stay away. I've deployed the HP line of WHS for users at my office, it is a reasonable solution for users who don't mind sacrificing a little tweakability/upgradability in lieu of a full fledged home...

    Blu-Ray Rips with Menus

    I went through this same problem earlier this year, searching for a way to play all my DVD and BluRay rips with menus from my media server and eventually just decided to scrap my HTPC and get a popcorn hour C200, which does a fine job of playing dvd and blu ray rips with menu structure intact...
