I think you meant Office 364.

Ironic? Coincidence? Hope your dad got something as well. :p

I believe Toughswitch (regular 5 port) supports only 24V PoE devices. Toughswitch Pro (8 ports) do support both 24v and 48v devices (but not both at the same time???).

I didn't know other people ran the same configuration as mine. My esxi server, also, has an Apple sticker on the outer case. :D

x9scm-f is very nice. Once I opted for a board without the f feature, and then I cried. A lot.

Wow, these are some serious numbers. It makes my Intel 320 look like a turtle in comparison.

I'm not an expert on this, but Intel RES2SV240 is a port expander. It doesn't communicate with the drives by itself, it requires a separate raid controller. So, *** Motherboard -> RES2SV240 -> 21 drives *** will not work. Instead, it has to be *** Motherboard -> Raid controller -> RES2SV240...

I also have 2 br10i cards working on two slots.

Wait, do these reduction affect the HDs already purchased? Or, are they talking about reductions from 5 years to 3 years for *newly purchased HDs*?

One thing that refurb has going against the new HDD is that it's a lot cheaper than a new one - with "practically" the same warranty, if you do buy the refurbs at reputable dealers.

what's really strange about this card is that the components are on the wrong side of the card. I wonder if this is because the image is mirrored, or is really backwards.

I have one coming in tomorrow, although it's slightly different (Seagate Cheetah ST3300657SS, no encryption). I'll test and report back.

esxi 5, the VM controlling the SAS-drive/BR10i is Solaris 11. BR10i is delivered via VT-d into Solaris 11. The sucker was working perfectly fine, no slowdowns, with four striped disks of ST3300657SS-H (Dell's version of Cheetah) + 4 other SATA disks, in exact same configuration before.

I'm running a single SAS drive as its own filesystem within ZFS and am encountering a really strange problem. Background: I recently acquired Seagate Cheetah ST3300557SS, which is 300GB SAS 6Gb/s drive with encryption. I have it connected to a BR10i in one of the channels along with 7 other...
