    Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 and ECC Works fine!

    Yeah, it is strange that they dont mention ECC support anywhere on their website. With a little googling i found this on amdzone. Which further indicates ECC support on the 990-fxa motherboard line. And a picture of the ECC settings on the Gigabyte 990fxa-ud5 WITH unbuffered ECC memory...

    Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 and ECC Works fine!

    Ok, i just bought a Gigabyte 990fxa-ud5 and 16GB unbuffered ECC memory from Kingston. Testing the board with ordinary non-ecc memory shows hides all options in BIOS for ECC memory. As soon as i switched to the new unbuffered ECC memory, i got the option to enable ECC in BIOS. Memtest86+...

    ZFS SSD Performance Issue

    Did you create the array on the Dell controller, making it a normal raid0 array? If you did, then i believe you have run into this issue: http://www.servethehome.com/lsi-9211-8i-sas-2008-8x-ssd-raid-0-bug/

    Supermicro ESXi/ZFS All-in-one

    Will that memory work with the board? AFAIK, there is not a 8GB dimm for the E3 series avaible from Kingston yet. The E3 series need ECC unbuffered memory, the memory you've selected is registered, which is not supported, and will not work. To see which Kingston dimms will work, look here

    Intel SASWT4I SAS/SATA Controller Question

    It clearly states in the spec sheet, that you only get 4 x SATA ports on that card. If you want to connect more than that, you need to use a SAS expander.

    TYAN S8010 used in home fileserver?

    Yeah, price could be a deal breaker, however, a C32, 4 core CPU starts at $110, and can later be upgraded to a Bulldozer 8 core. If the Tyan board lands around $300 you could save over $100 on MB, CPU and SAS controller and be able to upgrade with faster CPU and more ram in a year or two. Of...

    ZFS going from a normal cabinet to 4U what whit the pool

    @young_einstein: Yeah, its a rebrandet Norco, but we cant get Norco here in Europe, unless we import it ourselves, and even if we do that, with freight, customs and taxes, it will be roughly the same as if we just buy from Xcase ( I choose to import, and saved around 10$ compared to xcase)...

    PM SynergyDustin on these boards. He will give you a great price, and update the card for you. Highly recommend him. Not sure what his exact price is atm. though.

    What do I need

    In the new iX lineup from intel, it is not the CPU, but chipset, that determines whether there are ECC support or not. Stick an iX cpu in a motherboard with a server chipset, and you will have ECC support. Put an iX cpu in a motherboard without a server chipset, and ECC support is gone...
