Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
My NEW Server currently contains the following:
* Thermaltake Armor Case with 3 120mm fans
* Intel i3 core 530 <---- also have an Intel Xeon X3440 CPU
* Supermicro X8SIL-F
* Kingston DDR3 4gig
* Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500gig for OS
* OCZ Xtreme 700W PSU
* Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit...
That will be a good combo. I went eith the X8SIL-f and a Xeon 3440 and it is running like a champ. I just need to figure out what case to put in alot of hard drives in. At the moemnt I have 20 x 2TB WD Greens and am using 8 of them already for blurays. Blurays eat up alot of space :)...
This is the setup I was recommended by a member here and it works beautifully. The IPMI 2.0 is pretty slick too. I will be using the setup to run 20x 2TB WD20EADS drives to server blurays to 3 I3/530 Intel H57DJG setups in the house.
I myself run 2 Intel dh57JG motherboards and have zero issues. I have built 4 in total in the past month and arre sweet motherboards. I like them better than the zotac.
Do you know if this card suppots the Western DIgital 2TB WD20EADS drives? Also what controller is a good combination for this expander card? Sorry to hijack the thread. i have 20 drives trying to put together myself in a case.
I am not saying that Raid is a backup solution. But it is better than nothing. I have been researching the Areca with the SAS Expander and have been thinking of going that route using Raid6. I have no expereince in this area though.
Nope I am using an Intel dual port GT1000. I know it is not the card as in WIndows 7 I am seeing 80MB sec copying over my gigabit network. The same hardware is running WIn 7 and is able to transfer a bluray to the mini-itx client from 80MB to 60MB.
Yes I own all of my Blurays. I want to store them on like 16TB's too start and go from their. I tried WHS and it sucks IMO. I could only get transfer speeds of 15-20MB over my gigabit network. I get 4x that on WIn 7 64 bit. I own the movies but ripping 400-500 blurays and 1200 dvd's...
