    Super Micro Superchassis 512 noise?

    The 10cm blower in this chassis is pretty loud and is said to cause disk problems because of the vibrations. All new chassis by SM have 2 of 3 40mm fans instead. I've had good luck with those, and they also seem a bit more quiet.

    SAS expander trouble

    Turned out, knock on wood, that the head parking of the green drives was the cullprit after all. I had the timer well beyond the normal 8 seconds but only turning it off (-d) with the open idle3 tool fixed most of the errors. Seems stable now.

    Storage Upgrade - WD Black Or Something Else?

    Depending on what you are going to use them for the WD Red model line seems pretty popular right now as a newcomer to the NAS market. For a single disk as an upgrade i would certainly look at 1tb platter disks.

    SAS expander trouble

    Hiya. For the past few weeks i've been scratching my head on this one. I have a LSI 1068e with the p21 IT firmware on it, and a SASx28 expander to a bunch of wd20earx and ears drives. Now all disks hooked up directly to the controller works fine with heavy loads. With all drives in the chassis...

    Ping 300 machines at once

    If it's a single range, nmap would be pretty easy for a ping sweep.

    Recommend AMD GPU or Stay Away?

    If you do not already own another 7770, i see no point in getting a crossfire setup with midrange cards. Can't you get, guaranteed, higher performance with a more expensive card in a single setup?

    Virtual Learning Environment for Networking?

    GNS3 is a pretty straight forward tool to get a virtual networking equipment running. Ya can even bridge a nic to them to connect to physical boxes. You do need the right images if you want to do all CCNP stuff.

    $199 24 bay, dual Xenon server

    Don't confuse the s775 core2's with the s771 xeon's, or s775 xeons for that matter. 771 was the higher end platform that could do multi socket.

    I'm not sure what kind of batteries those are but keep in mind to ventilate them!

    PFsense / smoothwall AND filesharing in the same box

    ESXi is not the end of the world. There is KVM, Xen and a few other alternatives that rely on standard drivers from the kernel instead of the small database by vmware.

    X7SBL-ln2 ECC disabled

    Thought i would post my findings on this matter. Contacted Supermicro, who were very fast to help me out with this one. They've sent me a different bios that was not available for download publicly and that fixed the ECC reporting. 2.0a.

    X7SBL-ln2 ECC disabled

    Howdy. Got a X7SBL-ln2 (old girl) with a q6600 that is meant to go on server duty for a few more years. Got 4 udimms that are on the supported memory list and somehow ECC shows disabled in memtest and a linux livecd (checked with dmesg | grep EDAC and dmidecode --type memory). From my...

    Dual / Quad NIC passthrough

    I could see a use with quad nics to assign 2 interfaces to a router VM and use the rest for iscsi traffic or whatnot. It would save pci-e lanes which could become few in small builds with HBAs, nics and whatever.
