Hello, I see people casually dropping 400-500 bucks on a mobo but to me this is inconceivable. It seems to me the Asrock range has good models for reasonable prices, basically any board in the range with 4 DIMM would be suitable for my use, and I might go for up to the Taichi price wise (I see...

My server is already up and running, however I'll greatly expand it, from 19 to 57 drives. Then make a similar backup server. I use IBM M1015/LSI 9240 as controllers, with Rackable SE3016 JBOD units. I got one at the moment, but am ordering 8 more (one spare). OS is OpenIndiana, 1 pool of...

So, I'm finally ready to move my M1015 from my main desktop to my new server. It has currently an IBM firmware that I upgraded with a windows tool about a year ago, so I'm pretty confident my desktop motherboard will allow me to flash the card. My new server is UEFI but should also allow it if...

So, I've been looking into making a dedicated storage server for my massive media collection for some time, based on the OpenIndiana OS. Ideally I would buy something like a Supermicro socket 2011 mobo, 8*8GB ECC RAM, and an E5-1620 CPU, along with a Norco 4224 and a good PSU, an HP expander...

Hello :) I'm posting this here since it's quite a specific use, and I want answers from people with similar setups. I'm actually interested in two PSUs, one for 24 drives along with an HP expander, and another PSU for 24 drives + motherboard/quadcore Xeon/RAM/HBAs/expander. The drives will...

This has been discussed for weeks now in my country (France) but I didn't see anything here so there you go : www.techenclave.com/storage-solutions/confusion-seagate-7200-14-platter-138435/ http://www.hardware.fr/news/12580/seagate-7200-14-2-to-avec-plateaux-667-go.html (French only)...

Hi, I use all the SATA/eSATA ports of my motherboard and then some (M1015, SiI card). I decided to minimize heat generation and noise when the storage is not needed, so I put 14 HDD on a second power supply, with only a 240GB SSD and 3TB WD green plugged on the main power supply. Problem...

I didn't see a thread about that yet, so I'm sure you'll be pleased to learn of this news. To me it means I can buy Seagate again (well, I'll wait a little to be sure I get a drive made after June 30).

Hi. I've got one Samsung and 7-8 Seagate drives to RMA. On Seagate's website, multiple drives RMA is only available to resellers and the like, which I'm not. Do you know if by contacting Seagate (through their forum maybe ?) I could get a multiple RMA anyway ? I don't want to make that many...
