    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    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.

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    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...

    my ZFS NAS build - need a review

    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.

    my ZFS NAS build - need a review

    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...

    my ZFS NAS build - need a review

    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...

    my ZFS NAS build - need a review

    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...

    Is there an internal drive for a good price ANYWHERE at the moment?

    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)

    Mini-ITX ZFS-Box

    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...

    Are these marks on my processor bad news?

    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.

    Can Intel's Thunderbolt create external video cards?

    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...

    Can Intel's Thunderbolt create external video cards?

    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.

    need DYI clean room to repair clanking HDD

    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...

    Core i7 980x ES chips: Yay or nay?

    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...
