    Looking for a PCIE x1 video cards. HDMI preferred, but DVI would work. Regular PCI would also work, but I don't know if they even made those back in the day. Have paypal, but would prefer to trade for some extra USB memory memory sticks I have (picture below). Thanks.

    Server PSU for home use?

    I've seen a lot of 1300W+ power supplies on ebay lately from reputable manufacturers like HP - made for server use. So I would guess that they're probably pretty high quality units, meant to be run for long periods of time at medium/high loads. And they're super cheap - I'm talking under 30...

    FS: 18x HD204UI 2TB Samsung (With Warranty)

    I've got 18 Samsung HD204UI hard drives for sale. They're all the "original real" made in South Korea Samsung drives, bought around March 2011 and used ever since. I just upgraded the server to new drives, so I have a huge stack. None of them have any bad sectors or signs of trouble. I...

    Dumbest thing you've done?

    I've been assembling systems since the PC/XT days. And today I just did the dumbest thing I've done in the last 20 years. I was working in a rather dark corner, and I was installing a low profile PCI express card. I had to remove the low profile bracket since the case had a full height slot...

    ZFS Encryption Sustained Write Speeds

    Has anyone been able to manage any sort of decent speeds sustained write to an encrypted ZFS target over a network (I'm talking Solaris/Solaris Express for encryption, not BSD + GELI)? I can easily saturate a 1GBPS link with a file transfer to an unencrypted device, but once I turn on...

    ZFS+Solaris+Encryption = no L2ARC

    Just discovered this the hard way... If you have a ZFS pool that is encrypted using native Solaris encryption, no data on the encrypted datasets is stored in the L2ARC. So if you're planning on adding SSDs to supplement your ram on an encrypted pool, it doesn't do a bit of good. This sort of...
