    ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac

    I'll be running Win8, If the ports are shared, does that mean that they use the same bus or that if you use the M2 then you lose those two ports? I also just noticed that one of the onboard ports is a SATA express. Can you connect a regular SATA drive to that? Sorry, haven't built a system in a...

    ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac

    I was about to buy this board, and now I don't think it will work in my application. I am trying to build a six drive NAS inside a Fractal Design NODE 304 case. It will be running FlexRAID. I was hoping to use all six drive bays for the storage drives, and use the M2 slot for the OS drive...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Are the case fans 4 pin? I am thinking about replacing the internals with a Supermicro X10SLM+-F motherboard + Intel E3 proc. Will the motherboard be able to control the speed of the fans so that it does not sound like a jet engine. How about the PSU fans? Are they loud? Can they be speed...

    BOOTMGR image is corrupt

    I placed Win8 on a USB thumb drive (using the Microsoft USB tool), but it won't boot from it. The manual said to hit the power key and Windows key at the same time to enable the BIOS utility. Hitting F2 and F12 does nothing. That was the problem I was having before when I wanted to get into...

    BOOTMGR image is corrupt

    I have an Acer W500 that has Win8 RP installed on it. A couple of days ago I tried to get into the BIOS to check if I could enable the tablet to power on automatically when plugging in the AC power. The only way to get into the BIOS with Win8 installed was to turn of the Fast Boot feature...

    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    Thanks for the info guys. If I look for part number "620827-001" the cheapest I can find it for is $140. Part number "630295-001" is $240. Searching by using the power supply model numbers does not return anyone selling it. This is the second NAS that has died on me in the past two years. I am...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Now if someone can confirm if port multipliers are safe to use in OpenSolaris. I don't have the capability of running a large server box due to space so I need a modular solution.

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    I am thinking about doing the following: Create a RAIDZ1 of 5x2TB drives Create a storage pool with these drives Create another RAIDZ1 of 5x3TB drives at a later date Add the 5x3TB RAIDZ1 to the original storage pool By doing this will I see the storage pool as if it were just one large...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Is it safe to use port multipliers in running a RAIDZ? What is the opitmal number of drives to have when creating a RAIDZ1? I am still researching about ZFS, but from what I have read so far once created, a RAIDZ1 cannot be expanded. Only the pool can be expanded. Is that correct? I am looking...

    Synology DS1511+/DX510 or Build own server?

    I am also considering getting a Synology since my WHS died last week. I was looking to get the DS1511+ and DX510, until I saw that they will be coming out with a 12 drive-bay unit. http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=165&t=34407&start=30 Unfortunately, there is no release date...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    I will have to read the microserver thread, but the processor might not be strong enough for virtual machines. I will load it up with 8GB of ram which might help, but i don't want the write or read performances to be bogged down due to the load of virtual machines on the processor. Nevertheless...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Not familiar with OpenSolaris or Linux for that matter, but I am looking for a new NAS software since my WHS bit the dust. I want some sort of fault tolerance and I am considering a ZFS solution. I have two questions: 1. Are Port Mutlipliers supported? I know _Gea has mentioned not to use any...

    Need help with NAS problem

    All the drives are good. I plugged them into another machine and was able to read from them. I even transferred some files. The problem is that this is a headless system. It only has one pci-e 1x slot in it, so I cant even connect a video card to check what it going on at post. There is a way to...

    Need help with NAS problem

    I have tried replacing the memory and power supply, and neither worked. The next thing I am going to try is to put back the original CPU. I replaced that with an e2140 when I first got it over a year ago. I am just glad that I kept a full backup server. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Need help with NAS problem

    I currently have an Intel SS4200 NAS system that I have been using as a WHS server for over a year now, and today I came home to find out that it is showing two of the HDD LEDs as solid amber. I then tried to access the server through the WHS console and remote desktop, and neither worked so I...

    Recommendations: Expandable NAS, Raid 6, w/ best throughput

    I cant give much advice since I have never attempted what you are, but one thing to look out for is the performance of the ARC-1680IX-24-4G with multiple RAID sets. I have read that the Areca cards do not do well with many RAID arrays at the same time. It would be better if you read the Areca...

    WHS Upgrade Plan - Feedback Needed

    I recently bought a new 2tb Samsung drive for my WHS box, and I was able to use the Western Digital diagnostic tool to stress test it. It has a tool that writes zeros to all the sectors in the drive. I also ran a scan with HD Tune. Might I suggest that you build a separate machine, possibly...

    HDD failing, is it safe to backup?

    I moved the drive to my external enclosure, to rule out a faulty port or cable. It was still stuttering upon playback, and HD Tune quick scan was taking a long time. I then tried to transfer a 2.7GB video file to my backup server as a test. It took 1:10:33 to complete, with a speed of...
