    poe switch for home lab

    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???).

    Esxi and OSX Mavericks Console resolution.

    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

    Recommend a SuperMicro Xeon board for ZFS

    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.

    Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 doubts

    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...

    Some WD and Seagate Warranty Changes for 2012

    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*?

    Why would a refurbished HDD be more reliable to buy than a new HDD?

    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.

    Just got a Supermicro AOC-USASLP-L8i

    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.

    Very odd SAS drive slowdown

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

    Very odd SAS drive slowdown

    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.

    Very odd SAS drive slowdown

    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...
