Warranty Status? EDIT: never mind, activated in Jan '13

Need pictures and more detailed description of the condition.

That is a good guide though I have never seen or had to use the taping pin trick. There are a few other HF threads on flashing this card if you have problems.

You are also likely to find a better price on the 7 slot models and the 13 slot models were just released. Functionally the two versions appear identical, it all comes down to whether you require the two 2.5 hotswap drives on the outside. Most of the systems on eBay seem to be the "TA"...

I have good experience with these HGST drives but they are quite slow. In my opinion a better option is the new Seagate NAS drives. The price difference for a 4TB Seagate is $200 vs. $150 for the HGST but the speed improvement (sequential read/write is very close to 7K4000 HGST drives) and...

You can buy a Netgear GS110TP on eBay for about $135.

10Gbe cards and Rampage III combo still available!

The 10Gbe card behaves just like a 1Gbe card. This uses Intel drivers and works in any brand Motherboard or OS that supports Intel drivers.

10GBe cards and ASUS Rampage Combo are back on eBay

Take a look at this post Based on the example above, an 8 drive raidz2 vdev: 128K/(8-2)=21.3K = Bad alignment, not a multiple of 4K In a 10 drive raidz2 vdev: 128K/(10-2)=128/8=16K

You should read the ZFS best practices. I think you will find 8 disk raidz2 slower than 10 disk raidz2 with these 4k disks

I have a CX4 to XFP module but no optical transceivers.

Yes, I have 20+ All tested perfectly on a 4 pass badblocks run and are all alive and well with ZFS after 4 weeks.

Save yourself some trouble and buy a LSI 6Gb HBA from the start. The IBM BR10i is a 3Gb HBA and is not going to work with drives over 2TB. I would reccomend buying an LSI 9210-8i/9211-8i or their oem branded equivalents from IBM (M1015) or Dell (H310,H2XX). I have a Dell H310 running LSI...

Found this (picture) guide for flashing LSI cards with efi for the unitiated

I am using Emulex OCe10102 cards and they are working great. Many deals to be had on OEM branded versions of these cards on eBay...

Bump and added some M1015 cards. Willing to sell the MB/CPU/RAM/NIC from the SC846 as a combo if you don't want the case.

I have this posted in the for sale thread also. I will sell for $1100 to a HF member outside eBay. The math compared to the $350 version looks like: $350 Chassis $250 SAS Expander $90 HBA $115 6 port NIC $400 MB, CPU, RAM --- $1205 I am also including the rack rails which will run another...

The one for $350 is a great deal but most people are replacing the Power supply, MB, CPU, RAM, HBA, etc and the cost rises quickly when you do this. Mine is turnkey with much newer hardware.

If anyone needs a H310 with IT FW, I just posted one over in the for sale section. Thanks!

Bought card as a project to see if I could flash with LSI FW...was successful in debranding card and loading LSI P16 9211-8i IT firmware. Have tested card but now it is time to pass to a new owner. Looks and functions like a 9211-8i adapter. $90 shipped

I have a HDHomeRun with cablecard also but don't really use it because I have the Ceton in my primary HTPC. I think I'll setup a machine to use the hdhomerun and see how this goes while the InfiniTV 6 matures.

You can add another HD to the pool but it will not become part of your existing raidz1 dataset. Essentially you will stripe the existing pool with your new drive (think RAID 0) so this is probably not something you want to do as failure of the new drive will cause your entire pool to fail...

Thinking of switching my InfiniTV 4 PCIe to a networked InfiniTV 6. Does anyone care to comment on: Reliability Channel changing speed Tuner sharing WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). I finally have my HTPC and InfiniTV 4 rock solid and I don't want to go back to the daily tweaks to keep it...
