Thanks, Export -> Import did the trick !

Hello Gea, I hope you can assist me in a drive replacement I started yesterday. I needed to increase my pool size without increasing my drive count (not enough chassis space). I went and connected a new drive and used the replace command, re-silvering went fine and I powered off the system to...

the problem with spanned volumes under windows OS, is that 1 drive failure will cause the entire volume to be unreadable, happened to me two years ago and I lost ~10TB of data.

i'm a new (<1 month) user of OI+Napp It, and i'm hitting a brick wall when trying to set-up FTP Server on my NAS. tried using this "guide" here : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19963-01/html/821-1454/wuftp-231.html but I can't seem to edit any of the files in the ftpd folder, seems they are read...

thanks for all the great inputs in this thread, it's a great community. for now I removed the SSD from my purchase list, will also go with OI & Napp-it as PigLover suggested, this does seem like a breeze to setup.

I completely agree about the power rating of 660W being overkill, i'm familiar with the efficiency/Wattage draw rating as well, I was looking at Seasonic because they had the Lowest W Rating out of all the modular PSU's I saw, Sadly, the Antec isn't a modular PSU and offers only 5 SATA...

Thanks for the tip regarding the SSD, I do have a simple 2.5" laptop hard drive, i'll use it for OS instead. regarding OI + Napp-it, i'm guessing you meant Open-Indiana as a host for Napp-it, is there any benefit for that over FreeBSD ? I've read about it and the WEB-UI seems nice and all, but...

Finally after two years of dreaming to build my ZFS NAS, I decided it's time. Please sanity check my build before I pull the trigger. NAS Main Purpose and Key Features : a. The box will mainly hold media files - 1080p videos & family photo's, so speed is not an issue (80MB+ will do fine) b...

just had a WD 2.5TB for $136.54 includes shipping from an Amazon store. I didn't believe the price when I ordered, and probably neither was the store owner, since he pumped the price up to $200 few days after. (should have ordered more)

AMT with KVM over IP available on either Q57/Q67 or C206 chipsets. among those, only C206 supports Xeon with ECC RAM, but sadly - hard to find on Mini ITX Form. surprisingly, I just did a Google search, and found this board : S1200KP...

depends, how much did it cost ?:) anyhow, yea if it's cotton you should be good, just spray some isopropyl alcohol on it (usually inside lens cleaning liquid). and I suggest you check your fan, clean it before reinstall, and check it's RPM through BIOS or a software if you can boot windows.

ExpressCard can only offer 5Gb/s in ver 2.0, which is similar to PCIe2.0 x1 speed. Thunderbolt has 10Gb/s per channel, and since it's a dual channel connection, we are talking about 20Gb/s per cable, which is similar to PCIe2.0 x4 speed. there was a test performed to see how does PCIe link...

yes we can read, but the real problem with those previous solutions were the link speed,(expresscard@2.5Gbps) , this offers 8 times the speed (20Gbps) , so it's a completely new method for connecting very high end cards.

you should be more worried with having the right tools and expertise, rather than a clean room enviorment. lately I've had two drive failures, after a very extensive research, I've realised many data recovery centers don't have anything close to a mini-enviorment, also saw many success stories...

ES's are manufactured through the very first stages of a product line. these wafers are of high importancy, since they suggest the capabilities of a FAB to manufacture a product in good yield/quality, so in most cases, these wafers are going through higher monitored line then later on when the...
