    E5-1650 v2 vs i7-4930K

    Then there is not much difference between the E5-1650 v2 and i7-4930K? As they both use the DMI2. E5-1650: - Higher Clock speed 3.5Ghz but you could very quickly just overclock the I7 to 3.5Ghz - Support 256GB RAM (The motherboard only official supports 64GB but notice now they official support...

    E5-1650 v2 vs i7-4930K

    Why they are both a bus? The below URL is between DMI(1) and QPI. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2773/2 Based from the E5-2600 as i am unable to find the correct diagram for E5-1600 v2 yet, it still uses DMI2 and uses QPI only between CPU which is not part of the 1600 series. The PCIe 3.0 and...

    E5-1650 v2 vs i7-4930K

    http://ark.intel.com/compare/75780,77780 The official "Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Family for LGA2011 Socket Datasheet – Volume 1 of 2" states under 1.3.3 that DMI2 "operates at PCI Express* 1.0 or 2.0 speeds". While the E5 has 0 QPI links, should there be a QPI link to the storage...

    large storage with software RAID

    I am trying to keep rebuild times lowish but still have a decent size array. Does anyone know if LSI 2308 support any SAS expanders? Also, looking at the Intel RES2SV240. The intel website states "Eight SFF8087 SAS/SATA connectors" but i can only see 6 in the image, where are the other 2?

    Do you not get lower speed due to using the Expanders ? Also, what is the HBA that the Expanders connect to?

    large storage with software RAID

    Looking into the lz4 compression, seems great for things like logs but what about other files types? music, video, software, VMs based OS installs, etc. What systems support this as freenas being 9.1 does not? Edit: Sorry i am wrong 9.1 has got lz4 compression even how its only ZFS 28. Would...

    large storage with software RAID

    Also, any recommendations for freenas and a 16-24 port SAS HBA card? If i am going to use ZFS RAIDZ then i think i should not be using hardware as they are not passing all into to the software layer such as IDs, SMART info, etc.

    large storage with software RAID

    Is the rebuild time roughly the same between flex raid, unraid, zfs and hardware raid? Also, for the people who have large storage 30TB. What is your setup and how do you deal with rebuild times?

    large storage with software RAID

    Thanks for all your input. I think I will use freenas 9.1 under VMware with NFS and the older version of SMB which is supported on freenas. Unless anyone think some other OS will be better? Any features above ZFS 28 worth while? Also, Native ZFS on Linux would like to use but a bit still new...
