https://x.com/slow_developer/status/1869059311969661103 I would like to use this for password hash calculation for a couple of old personal finance spreadsheets I'd like to recover. Running John the Ripper on a 3090 gave an estimate of 10 years. "Ain't no one got time for that!" I'm thinking...

Returned these drives and purchased 3 replacements from another vendor... those work fine. Don't know why the others wouldn't work. Don't really care anymore. Case closed.

I've had this rack mount Synology array for several years. I originally put Hitachi 6TB drives in a RAID 6, so 12 x 6TB - 2 x 6TB parity. It is my Veeam maglib destination for backups of my main array. Been a real workhorse of an array... with only the very occasional failed drive. A couple...

Since you offered a well thought out and helpful response, I'm going to clarify some points using your information. 1) I think the AX6000 will meet most of the requirements for the router/FW portion of my asks. If not, I'll likely end up going with some software defined firewall on a Guest in...

Thanks for the responses everyone. Some good thoughts and, as expected, some useless accusations and banter. All part of the Internet society. I ended up ordering a TP-Link AX6000 router and two TP-Link TL-WA1201 which support 4 SSID's to VLAN mapping.

I don't think you need a dish to order other things, might you might need a current account and I don't think you can get that until you pay for the dish. You don't pay for the dish until it's "ready to ship". Post back here with your results. I'd be curious.

From the Starlink website... https://shop.starlink.com/products/us-consumer-ethernet-adapter-gen2 My estimated wait was 2 months, but actually got it within 2 weeks.

I have been looking for a plain ol' router for my home, but with some (obviously) unique features... as such: 1) WiFi 6 2) Multiple SSIDs and the ability to map an SSID to an Ethernet port - Scenario: SSID "internal" would be mapped to eth1 and this port would be plugged into my managed...

And for those intending to purchase and configure an additional NIC, I highly recommend it. I ordered a 4 port Intel I340-T4 NIC from Amazon and it shows up in DSM as LAN5-8. Very clean. I created two Bonds in DSM... one for the Web management VLAN using LAN1 from the LoM and LAN5 on the Intel...

I was reluctant to do this as a first step as it is a bit of a chore to pull the array from my rack. But, agreed, that seemed like a likely client to the issue. Ahead of your suggestion, I noticed something as I was taking the screenshot posted above... the RS28218 shows a DSM version. That...

I am replacing my aging EqualLogic PS6000E arrays with a new Synology RS2818RP+. I had some difficulties getting this new array in hand... maybe popularity or supply chain? I waited to order the hard drives until I had the array in hand and tested. I did receive the array, installed a couple...

Thanks for the offer. I'm covered on that front. I still have a Dell support account with access to firmware.

I have attempted to contact the seller MANY times... totally ignored my questions, no response. I have contacted him/them for other things and they response quickly. In fact, I have bought other things from the seller and they have actually bought things from me. I suspect they have dissected...

Like others have said, hosted PBX is the way to go, but the knowledge and experience of building an internally hosted solution can be rewarding. I have a slew (dozens) of 3com IP phones (3102 and 3502) that are from my own build-and-learn environment that can be had super cheap. I'm tired of...

That's why I don't use 4TB drives. My question is how the seller of the array on eBay is getting around the restriction.

The array actually reports the physical drives as less than 2TB. I think the number reported is based off the old style of cylinders, tracks, heads. Traditionally if one of these numbers exceeds the allocated bit count for the field, weird stuff happens. That's just my opinion though.

Has anyone purchased this array from this seller? For whatever reason he is completely ignoring my request for clarification. Are they supported drives with Dell firmware? What model drives? What changes were necessary to support 4TB drives?

Sure, they are actually the same (or similar in some cases) models of Hitachi's Dell commonly shipped with the EqualLogic arrays, just without the Dell firmware. I use Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000 2TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" from Newegg. Something I *would* like to know... how this...

I am a long term user and fanboy of the EqualLogic arrays. I've been using them since early 2009. I've been through many PS5000XV, PS5000E, PS6000X models and currently have 3 PS6000E models... 2 are my "home production" arrays and 1 is a replication partner out to my guest house on the same...

If so, what models are you using and what kind of success have you had? The EqualLogic SAN arrays I'm using at home are just too expensive to justify, so I bought an older Promise VTrak M500i and filled it with 2TB drives. It works like a champ, albeit, at a reduced speed from the...

Not really... ESXi doesn't even use the boot disk once the hypervisor is loaded. I boot a couple of my hosts at home from USB stick. When I moved my hosts to a blade chassis, I use the built in 2.5" drives just because they're there. When they fail, I probably won't bother replacing them, opting...

I'm not surprised they would do that, but I would like to know for sure. I have a line on several inexpensive AX150i chassis', but not inexpensive enough to just buy one for a test. I guess the worse case scenario is I'd be stuck with using 12 x 750GB and that's assuming I can use "standard"...

The documentation (which was written at hardware introduction) indicates a maximum drive size of 750GB. Surely any device that supports 750GB drives would also support up to 2TB drives? Had anyone verified this? The limit would be the EMC BIOS. They are notorious for doing stuff like that...
