    Hi guys - I'm having issues with a curl script to generate TXT records for ACME challenges for LetsEncrypt. My DNS provider is FreeDNS. It appears that they have an API for generating A records, but haven't found much information on TXT record generation. Their FAQ...

    SATA 3 Dumb Controller For 850 Pro

    Cheers for the replies guys - very much appreciated. I think I'll grab the Syba SI-PEX40062 as it's based on the Marvell 88SE9235 chipset which provides two PCIe lanes. They're only 20 quid, so if I don't see any noticeable performance benefit I'll switch back over to the onboard SATA 2 ports.

    SATA 3 Dumb Controller For 850 Pro

    Thanks PilotronX - Yeah, I saw a few reviews that mentioned similar speeds reported as that particular card uses two PCIe lanes as apposed to one (which I believe the previous card in the series from Syba manages) I'm not fussed atall about hardware RAID. I'm simply passing these through as...

    SATA 3 Dumb Controller For 850 Pro

    Hi guys - I'm looking for a SATA 3 controller (doesn't need to do RAID) for a couple of 850 Pro's which I'll be using as an ESXi 6.5 datastore. My board only has SATA 2 ports onboard, hence the requirement for a card. I'll be using a PCIe x16 2.0 slot, and need something to get the best...

    Defragment RAID 6 Volume ESXi Passthrough

    So it's generally safe to defrag a RAID volume that has been passed through to a Windows guest?

    Incorrect memory utilization for 1 VM ESXi 6.5

    Yeah - I was under the impression all memory would need to be reserved before powering on when using PCI passthrough - doesn't make much sense as to why VCSA 6.5 throws memory usage alerts if this is the expected behavior however..

    Incorrect memory utilization for 1 VM ESXi 6.5

    Hi - After upgrading my host to ESXi 6.5 and VCSA to 6.5 I have found that one of my VM's shows all memory being utilized in the summary screen and when checking the performance chart for percentage used it displays 100% (This is not the case when checking task manager and RAMMap in Windows)...
