Another vote for Tintri. We're running multiple Tintri appliances of various generations (T540's, T650's, T880's, and a couple of T5080 AFA's). Super easy to setup and administer, excellent support. Great integration w/ VMware. The thing to keep in mind is that these are meant for virtualized...
Necessary? No. Honestly you probably won't notice a difference in day to day performance. Is there a particular reason you are looking at m.2?
FYI, I'm using a Samsung SM951 512GB m.2 NVMe for Boot and some games (the ones I play most frequently), but I also have a 1tb 840 evo, which I'm...
I think your reply was to OP, where as shilohj is a different person with a different setup. I started to reply yesterday, but when I realized it was 2 separate people, I ended up not.
Interesting that they state this:
But, they don't actually have any new 5700/5940 rpm drives listed in the press release.
*Edit*
Actually they do, I just missed it below the 7200's.
DT01ABA300 - 3TB 5940 RPM w/ 32MB cache
DT01ABA200 - 2TB 5700 RPM w/ 32MB cache
DT01ABA150 - 1.5TB 5700 RPM...
My experience is the exact opposite.. Not only did it take a few weeks to get a replacement (I didn't bother with an advance replacement, as I had a spare), they sent me a 25nm drive to replace my 34nm drive. On top of that, it's one with the 64Gbit modules, so it's ~4GB smaller than my original...
I just purchased this board as an open box from Newegg. It already had the v2 BIOS flashed (IvyBridge). Also worth noting is that it was a complete retail kit (SATA cables, unused IO Shield, manual, cd). I suspect the recent open Supermicro open boxes are from Supermicro (I also have an X8SIA-F...
I would agree. I don't see any reason these wouldn't work just fine for that purpose. I'll certainly be considering these when I need to expand my storage array.
Well, that's not too out there. Perhaps we could see them going in the $150-$160 range @ newegg/amazon (though probably not).
*edit*
Looks like newegg has them in stock:

I didn't see them elsewhere. If anyone finds a...
Pretty sure you are right. The video is from last year..
*edit*
Oh, sorry, the page wasn't loading for me at first, and I found an old xCase youtube video from last year. The "mini review" is from a couple of weeks ago. It does look a little different. Looks like it has the 3x 120mm by...
Nice, was waiting for this to come back in stock. Just ordered one. Now to wait for another rebate offer to appear for it so I can order another for crossfire :)
We recently installed 2 ESXi 4.1 standalone servers. We decided rather than looking at SAN/NAS and vSphere licensing, that we would look to other technologies to provide the redundancy we were looking for. If you start thinking about redundancy then you soon realize you would need a redundant...
You should be fine. It's possible that some data might have been corrupted while it was being written, but overall, fairly unlikely. It sounds like it picked back up where it left off, as well, which is a good sign.
I'm not too familiar w/ the RocketRaid functionality, but in most cases you...
I'm loving the Prolimatech Megahalems I just got for my i7-860. Idle temps are around 24-25c. Temps under load are around 48-50c (1 fan in a push config).
I think you're confusing a couple of things here. It doesn't matter how much memory your video card has, you still have the same amount of addressable system memory (as a previous poster pointed out).
The article you posted mentioned a problem with the size of maps for a particular game...
I have a bunch of SATA data cables. I can probably include one with each drive (I'll have to verify how many I actually have laying around, but I'm pretty sure I have 6) if anyone needs them. I don't have any molex -> sata power adapters, though.
Here's my Heat.
1x 3Ware 9550sx-12MI PCI-X (or PCI) SATA II RAID Controller /w 256MB Cache. Includes all 3 breakout cables (Multilane to SATA). $330 Shipped. Speeds upto 800MB/sec RAID5 Read and 380MB/sec Write.
As I always say, feel free to make offers!
I've recently upgraded to a new 3ware RAID controller and so I have a left over card now.
3ware 9500S Series
This card will also work in PCI slots.
This does not include any multilane cables (or multilane to SATA cables) or the battery backup unit. If you want a cheaper alternative to the...
