What cables came with your T3500? You should be able to add a used Dell Perc H700 for next to nothing (~$40US for just the card, more with cables, etc.). It's a great (for the era) LSI RAID card with a Dell badge on it. The only restrictions are: 1. Needs to be reflashed if you want to use it in...

Just to be that guy again, what cards are you looking at populating the board with? You say you need full length (16x physical) slots? Depending on what it is if you are only interested in a 8x bus and what you are planning on doing you could get very getto with your solution and take a page...

I believe neither of those are NVMe. The StarTech one explicitly states it's only compatible with SATA and the Vantec only mentions SATA (i.e. doesn't mention NVMe as a supported protocol). You'll probably need separate adaptors for each type because I haven't seen an adaptor that does both...

Addendum. Things to look out for 1. If you can, get the H710, it will work with more drives and is a 'proper' RAID controller, I don't even bother looking at the lower end PERCs (Dell branded RAID). 2. Make sure the server you buy comes with dual PSUs (a lot of adverts won't say if they are...

Since it's a small business that you're having to 'help' with I'm going to make what might seem at first to be a radical suggestion. Have a look at /r/homelab and related subreddits. It's populated by sysadmins who need (for various reasons) to run enterprise gear at home but there is no way we...

Yes it is, but it's a slow release schedule. BMS 4.33 was a huge update and was released late last year, with 4.32 being released several years before that. But it doesn't really matter, each update is pretty much stable (though IIRC I have see a few minor patches for bugs during the life of the...

As others have said the DCS series is pretty good (it's the spiritual successor to LoMAC). Have a look at Falcon 4 BMS... https://www.bmsforum.org/forum/content.php For some stupid reason you need to register on the official forum before you can read anything, but it is worth it...

Well I don't over clock, and I don't think its overheating...S*** Any other ideas *he asks, a note of panic in his voice*? Thanks. Gamer

Hi all! I seem to be having some really strange rendering issues. I believe that something on my Galaxy 7900GS has been screwed, but I wanted some opinions. As you can see from the screen shot I get these really weird textures appearing - like the original texture is being deformed. I think it...
