    Super Talent DDR4-3200 16GB $54.90

    Looking at other sites, it's suppose to be $184.90, not $84.90. Total pricing mistake.

    $300 gaming monitor options?

    I went from a 27" 1080 with a gtx 670 to a 27" qnix 1440 with a gtx 970 and it is absolutely fantastic. Oc'ed the monitor to 96 hz as well. I checked green-sum at eBay yesterday and a glossy perfect pixel is $319. Highly recommended.

    Question - FreeNas build on the cheap

    I have 8GB and it runs flawlessly. I use it mainly for storing movie files and streaming to 2 different htpc's and an xbox. Never had a problem with multiple boxes streaming at once. Also use it as a Time Machine backup box for a couple of macbooks as well. No addon's other than using it...

    Question - FreeNas build on the cheap

    I've had a freenas system for a couple of years now on an old biostar mobo and athlon 250u. Runs flawlessly and performance is great for my needs. I did drop some ECC mem in as well.

    Best Storage Solution?

    Jesus Joe, relax. I personally don't like Microsoft products and don't want my data associated with it based upon my 20+ years experience. And because Flex and Snap Raid are dependant upon Microsoft is one reason why I didn't choose it. Another reason I use ZFS is because I utilize the...

    Best Storage Solution?

    I run ZFS in a fairly simple FreeNAS environment. I originally started with 3 x 1TB disks in a single pool. When the time came to upgrade, I simply bought 3 2TB disks and replaced each disk individually in the pool. Worked like a champ and there is absolutely no backup/restore/destroy pool...

    Google Fiber & Raspberry Pi/FreeNAS OpenVPN Server

    I just went through this process this weekend. Follow paetzel's openvpn guide. Then the key is follow his firewall guide: http://joepaetzel.com/2014/03/04/secure-freenas-9-2-1-2-with-a-firewall/ I did have to make a couple of mods to the pf.conf file (remove table persist, and remove the...

    FreeNAS power effiency upgrade for home

    I have a 250u and an old Biostar board with an 40GB SSD and (3) 1 TB drives running FreeNas. I'm only seeing 18-20w at wall idling, which it does 99.99% of the time. As the above poster said, the ROI to go lower just isn't there. And yes it is running 8GB of ECC memory. 250u was a good...

    UPS And FedEx Buckled Under Holiday Load

    Here's a new flash for all the haters: if you live in the Northeast, especially BOS, your packages are going to be really late the next couple of days. Yeah it's winter and shit happens, but it must be our fault, right? 12-18 inches of snow tomorrow/Fri in case you didn't know. Have...

    UPS And FedEx Buckled Under Holiday Load

    The two companies in question employ TENS OF THOUSANDS of people who are a lot smarter than you that have been doing this business for over 40 years. To suggest that they don't plan accordingly for the busiest part of the year is just plain ignorant. And just to reiterate regarding winter...

    UPS And FedEx Buckled Under Holiday Load

    I've been a pilot for Fedex for 10 years. I was flying all month through both Indianapolis and Memphis and I will tell you one thing as I was there and experienced it. The weather was absolutely brutal: snow, ice, freezing rain, and extremely out of season cold temps which effects everyone...

    Opinions wanted: ZFS backup

    I have another win 7 machine with vmware workstation, a freenas vm and a dedicated 1tb drive. I have roughly 500gb of data on my main freenas server that I simply automatically rsync over to the freenas vm. Works great.

    What are you guys storing your media on?

    I've looked at the all the different solutions, Napp-it, win2k8, freenas, etc. I ended up going the simple linux route. Here's why. Reqs: 1. TimeMachine support and I wanted to do it via iSCSI 2. Simple samba support for file serving 3. Since I have under 2TB of data, mdadm RAID 1 is...

    Suggestions on backup 10TB to remote location over T1.

    Symantec Netbackup will do the trick. Might be a little pricey, but it's an awesome product.
