    WD 3TB AV-GP... Wdidle3 suggests that Intellipark is disabled... by default.

    Is this right? I bought 12 hard drives and all of them have the Intellipark feature disabled. Am I reading this right? Are they hiding the fact that it's on? Verbatum: Idle3 Timer is disabled. What's your guys' take on this?

    NAS4Free 36TB File Server Build

    Here's a video of the issue. Between GF on the phone and my phone trying to focus, it's unnecessarily loud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYpV86b7Ygk&feature=youtu.be

    NAS4Free 36TB File Server Build

    Just received everything. My RAM isn't compatible with the board, so I'm going to have to return it and get something else. FOR FUCK SAKES It says right here that the RAM I chose should work. FFS EDIT: So I called Kingston who said that they support the motherboard. Then I called NCIX and...

    Supermicro X9SCL -O -F : Compatible with Ivy Bridge OOTB?

    Recently got an X9SCL -F with i3-3220. It is incompatible. It won't post. Called Supermicro and they said they do not support the i3 desktop Ivy Bridge models on the X9SCL -F boards, which is news to me, because I've only read that it WORKS from people online, never read that it doesn't...

    Supermicro X9SCL -F-O won't post...

    So I took out my Sandy Bridge CPU from my main build, just so I can update the BIOS and run Ivy Bridge on this thing. It didn't post with Ivy Bridge, so I put in my Sandy Bridge and it still won't post; mind you, when I had Ivy Bridge in, the server would fluctuate between on and off (the...

    Would you RMA this drive?

    In a raidz2 array and has had one pending sector since it has turned on... never increased that number and has never acted up at all. But lately I'm getting these errors in my log: And here is the SMART log: It's under warranty for another two years. The drive is a Samsung HD204UI...

    Intellipark: Disable, or delay?

    Last call on opinions before I do some fwiddling (see what I did there) with my build and lock it down.

    Intellipark: Disable, or delay?

    I would never set them to 3 seconds... 300 seconds would definitely be the only option... or disabling, but I've heard too many horror stories about disabling Intellipark.

    Yeah, I think that makes most sense. Thanks all. I'll let you know my results.

    Intellipark: Disable, or delay?

    Well, I've got 12 3TB AV-GPs ready to go in a pool, so it's too late to go back. :P Despite your advice, I know that it's very common to use WD drives with Intellipark in ZFS arrays, however ill-advised it is, and so I'd like to hear from these people their experiences. Thanks for the link...

    Intellipark: Disable, or delay?

    Wondering what the general consensus here on WD's Intellipark feature is. A lot of people say disable it, some set it to 300 seconds.. What's the best practice for giving your drives the best chance at a long life? I'm putting a bunch of these in a ZFS build and I'd like some clarity on...
