very correct. >>It seems people on dark hero have better luck with IF @ 2000. Mine doesn’t go above 1867 but I haven’t tried new bios properly yet. Will do it tonight. KickAsscop, how did it fare ? It's couple of days already and you didn't mention anything. When you tried IF overclocking...

I'd try to recommend ESXi based StarWindSoftware's Virtual SAN. 2 nodes for free, HA, iSCSI, tiering, dedup, everything ESX supports including 10Gbps/40Gbps/56Gbps NICs, HBAs. Runs on HyperV too. Complexity nowhere near Solaris, uses ZFS-like filesystem. Not only you can have white-box as a...

Benji, you are really lost : we are not going to build anything ourselves. I know what desktop-grade SSDs cost and what are their features, performance characteristics (consistency, latency, endurance etc). If I was about this home-grown thing, I would snap in as-many-as-I-can Sammies 845DC Pro...

I know this topic is too complicated - we've already checked Kaminario, like the architecture, performance, don't know the price (sigh) and don't like what we consider weak density - at the time we checked, about 4 months ago, they only had 24 drives in 2U shelf. Compared to now-pretty-usual 72+...

Cheers for prompt reply and three vendor names (what a fiasco with XtremIO destructive update, on the other hand they have been very closely cooperating with affected customers) ! Prices being all over the place is exactly the reason I created this topic. FCoE : we are already separating it...

Guys, pretty soon, we might start to look for "price CONSCIOUS" flash storage with approx. 60TB usable capacity right now with expansion to 90TB expected in a year. Will be used for data warehousing appz on 20 ESX v5.5 hosts, 10Gbit FCoE, single location, single room. Apologies for not...

while this isn't Intel 730 / Sandisk Extreme Pro and Samsung 850Pro performance class for sustained writes, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with M500 for $79. Unless you are doing HEAVY, I mean really heavy databases, virtualization stuff with extreme queue depths and three-hour long writes...

my 2cents : Samsung 850Pro is better than Intel730. There is no comparison in NAND write endurancy as 850Pro uses 3D NAND manufactured with 40nm technology. Performancewise, I'd say 850Pro is the winner, too - reads are on top of what SATA3 6Gbit interface is capable of ; writes are excellent...

Folks, can you recommend any antivirus solution for VMware platform ? We've been evaluating two solutions already but they seem to be a little more pricey that we would like to hear [I'm intentionally not mentioning those two] but I feel there are not so many vendors in this market...

late but better than never : Xigmatek Elysium. A lot of external 5.25" bays - linked LianLi do not have as much external bays - and that stuff. One of the best prices, at around $170.

apologies for slight delay in communication, I wasn't checking this forum recently. You initially said your link is 2600 miles with approx. 75ms latency and : >> I've been reading about the TCP windows size and tested iperf with a 1000KB windows size and got just about 100mbps. this is...

resurrecting a dead topic : Kaps, did you find any solution ? I'm into similar things right now and my preliminary lab-tests show heavy dependence on tcp window size. The more latencies you have, the bigger TCP Window size must be in order to "make up" for those latencies. It is possible to...

bds1904, you must be kidding hard. Matej said "My WAN connection is 100/100MBit" and mind you, 750GL will be routing that full-duplex with one finger in its ass, I have to say it this way. Yes, 750GL would handle not just one 100Mbit fullduplex, but SEVERAL concurrently without sweating ...

resurrecting a dead topic - have you figured out something ?
