I've had some issues over gigabit that were similar to this. I was using Teracopy and could only copy at about 1/3 line speed from the server. switched back to windows copy utility and problem went away, I'm able to saturate the link now.

Awesome. I'm glad that they are getting so much praise. My drives just showed up yesterday so I'll be starting to get things up and running throughout the weekend while I'm not enjoying the weather. Should make a nice raidz2 array with 10 of them. I'm not sure if i'm going to go with freeNAS...

I currently have the highest speeds i can get (until fiber eventually makes it to my area) I'm at 25/2.5 I would be OK if i went to the next one down at 10/0.8 but i wouldn't be happy.

I usually buy based on price as well. I've had some WE Red's before, they worked well but the price on the HGST is about 30$ cheaper per drive right now so that's what I'm going to end up with. Those are the 2 that it came down to for me anyway. I don't need the faster speed but with the price...

I'd be a little worried about running that pump at only 7V. according to EK, the min voltage is 8V DC. Especially with that size tubing http://www.ekwb.com/shop/EK-PSS/EK-PSS-3831109862506.pdf What are your temperatures under load?

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on some. I plan on rebuilding by NAS with 10 of them for use with zfs. The HGST drives in general have a good track record so we'll see what happens.

Does anyone have any experience with these drives? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1021396-REG/hgst_0s03664_4tb_7200_deskstar_nas_internal.html

I have a IBM M1015 flashed to IT mode that I'm using for a zfs config. It's an all in one ESXi box the the M1015 is passed through to the vm. it works great. Integrity is another thing. The RAIDZ2 can loose any 2 drives while the RAID10 is in pairs so if both drives in one pair go down it's all...

it should work, make sure you are using supported network cards. also read up on networking http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-networking-guide.pdf

hey, I have a couple quad G34 systems at home and my suggestion would be the 6180's with a Supermicro H8QGL. I'm guessing that you've found the distributed computing sub forum when you're referring to the flashed bios. ES chips aren't required if you flash the bios, if you don't want to flash...

If you want some more information on some dual/quad/eight processor machines you can head over the the Distributed Computing section of the forum. There are lots of different systems there. The multi processor systems are limited in the gaming world mostly due to the clock speeds that the single...

So here's my home setup. I've been poking around here for a bit now and built a all in one system. This is all from hardware that I had around so it is what it is. there is fairly low load on this system as its just my home server running plex and whatnot. The file server is running zfs. 2x...

I've seen some USB over Cat5e/Cat6 extensions. Could be one of those?

I've set this up on multiple machines. My process is as follows. On the client (machine to be monitored): 1. open FAHControl and go to the configure dialog. 2. add a password in the password section at the bottom 3. restart the machine and start folding again Then, on the monitoring...

The only benefit (if you want to call it that) is that it has the "predownload" of the next WU before the current unit is finished so it starts crunching while the finished unit is uploaded. Langouste covers this for the V6 client.
