Thanks for the suggestion. When you say don’t work with Windows, do you mean some devices will never work or do you mean I just need to jump through some hoops, like reformatting, to get it to work in windows?

$140 for 2TB. It sounds like the fix is to boot up Linux and use nvme tools to format. Would anyone have the commands to do that? I’m not familiar with Linux

Hi, I was looking at this drive and seller is saying it will only work on Linux and not Windows. I tried to Google that, but didn’t find anything…would anyone know why that would be the case and if so, anyway to make it work on Windows? The seller did not have any other info. Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, I was trying to save a few bucks…a fully updated one on eBay is around $150 so not sure if a service contract makes sense. From what I can gather, I first need to update to Release 6.0(2)U6(10) and then to the most recent 9.3 release.

Thanks. It’s a Nexus N3K-C3048TP-1GE 48P 1GbE 4P SFP+ Switch. Yeah, I had read Cisco will provide security patches for free, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, I don’t have a service contract, unfortunately…

Hi, would anyone know how I can get the most recent software for this switch? It's currently running 6.0(2)U3(4) which is close to 10 years old! Thank you!

Hi, I recently acquired this MB with a TR 1950X processor and went through the bios, but did not see an option to turn on PBO. I know this is an older board, but googling the issue, others seem to have the option, but I’m just not seeing it anywhere, I’m running the most recent bios. Any...

Hi, looking to purchase one of these and wondered if anyone here has had any experience with them? I would like to use it as a JBOD on a Windows Server box. I read somewhere that these come configured as iSCSI and cannot be changed to JBOD without some special software which I probably won’t...

Hi, separate from my other post on pass thru disks…I have another system with another 1882ix controller. This controller has two RAID6 arrays attached to it. The first one is via the internal connectors and consists of 10 disks. The second is via the external connector connected to a...

Hi, I have several pass thru sata disks (formatted ntfs) connected to a 1882ix running on a Windows Server box. Does anyone know if the disks will run directly off the sata ports on my motherboard or if somehow they are tied to the Areca? I want to retain the data currently on the drives. I...

Hi, I have a Dell 2700w rack UPS and I would like to set it to High Efficiency mode. It's currently in Normal mode. I'm able to get into settings from the control panel on the unit, but can't seem to change the settings. I've also tried to reset the settings to defaults, but can't seem to do...

Thank you! I'm able to get 128GB working at 3133 C16 at 1.35V. If I try 3200, I can't get past the bios screen. However, I notice that the bios is very sluggish...is there a reason why that would be?

Thanks...do you mean generally, a bios will read the XMP of all installed sticks and use the lowest settings?

Hi, I have a Threadripper 1950X system and I'm trying to run 128GB of RAM using a mix of 4 Ripjaws V 3600C16 sticks and 4 RipJaws V 4000C18 sticks. The 3600C16 sticks are rated to run at 1.35V and the 4000C18 sticks are rated at 1.4V. Is it safe to run the 1.35V sticks at 1.4V? When mixing...

Hi, brand new drive. crystaldiskinfo is showing temp of 50 degrees. Is this normal? It’s not shucked so running in upright position is original case. Thanks!

On my X399 mono, I have a 1882ix and 1880x and while they don’t show up in POST, Windows recognizes them and have had no issues. I have CSM turned on, but not sure if that makes a difference. Love these cards!

So are the BestBuy Easy Store 14TB drives 5400 or 7200? Or are they 7200, but operate at 5400 due to firmware. Separately, has anyone noticed a 64 drive limit for ChrystalDiskInfo? I can't find info on that anywhere! Thanks!

Yes, thanks…settled on 1.1 for soc and 1.44 for RAM. I can go a little lower and still pass memtest, but with the lower settings, the system does not boot from a cold start (Eg., the bios will try a few times to boot, and eventually give up and revert to stock settings). The higher values...

Hi, do you mean 1.35 for SOC? I'm able to get it running using 1.1V for SOC, but I need 1.44 or 1.45 on the RAM.

Sorry for not being clear...I mean the bios will turn the computer on/off a few times and the default the RAM back to stock speed. (2666, I think). I am now able to pass Memtest using 1.1 SOC and 1.44 RAM. Everything else Auto or whatever Optimized Defaults give me. I wonder why the kit is...

I’m not an expert either, but I think 2 vs 4 dimms make a difference.

Hi, thank you for the advice! Board finally booted at 3600 using 1.1 SOC and 1.45V. Lowered that to 1.44 and that booted fine too…running memtest to test stability.

Yes, the 128gb kit is on the QVL

Hi, running above with a 5950X and the latest BIOS 3601. The kit I have is the 4 stick G.Skill Trident Z Neo F4-3600C18Q-128GTZN and it’s on the board QVL. But I can’t get it to boot at anything higher than 3200. I’ve also tried Ryzen Dram Calculator, but still no go. Anyone else have this issue...

Hi, wanted to see if someone can help me with my Areca 1880X RAID6 array which is in a degraded state after I accidentally turned off my Supermicro JBOD enclosure. When I turned the JBOD enclosure back on, a bunch of the disks in the array were marked FAILED and the array was marked FAILED. I...

Hi, I’ve been testing StorageSpaces and found that the default settings leads to horrible performance. I am testing a 12 x 3 TB pool with dual parity and using the GUI to create a virtual disk, I was getting 3-4 MB/s write speed. After some googling, I found that the Interleaved parameter has...

Hi, I have a home built with the above setup and I'm trying to figure out how to get the system to recognize new hot plug drives. When I add new drives to the enclosure, they are not recognized until I reboot the system. "Refreshing" in Storage Spaces does not bring up the drives. Is there...

Can you tell me which ones to post? Thank you.

Hi, my ReadyNAS became unresponsive and I had to hard reboot the device. When the device rebooted, it looks like I lost my volume. When I log into the admin screen, I see the message “Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6” Any suggestions on what I can do to recover...

Just installed the latest intel chipset drivers and same issue...just can’t figure it out!

Bios is up to date and HT is enabled in bios. also tried msconfig and number of processor box is unchecked and if I check it, I only see options for up to 4 processors (vs. 8 with HT). It’s a work computer and so could it be that the image that was used for the hard drive is bad? But I can’t...

Hi, I have a Dell Latitude 5400 laptop with a i7-8665U CPU and HT is enabled in BIOS, but in Windows, it’s showing Cores: 4 and Logical Processors: 4. I’ve googled a bunch, but can’t find any references to a setting within Windows to change this. Has anyone seen this before and any idea how I...

Budget's not huge...was going to buy used and it looks like HP has based library software for free. It's just I can't find any info on tNAS (which I assume is not free). After some digging, it sounds like HP licenses it from Qstar...does anyone have any experience. I guess it can't be all...

Yeah, that looks cool, but probably not within budget...anyone have experience with HP's Tape as NAS, or t-NAS?

Yes, I will need to get a LTO library...

It looks like HP has a product called Tape as NAS which sounds like exactly what I am looking for. Does anyone have experience with this product? How much does it cost? Thanks, Hammer

Thanks. That’s very helpful. does any know if a tape library will also be seen by Windows this way? Eg., can it be mounted and accessed by a Drive letter? Is each tape in the library a different drive letter or does it show up as a single drive letter spanning the capacity of all the tapes...

Hi, was wondering if the group here can help guide me in the right direction: 1) I have 75-100 TB's of data than I need to keep online or near-line. 2) These data sets do not change and seldom deleted 3) Currently, we are storing them in a large RAID 6 array, and have a duplicate array for...

Hi, does this board support SR-IOV? Thanks!

Hi, has anyone been able to get SR-IOV working on an X399 motherboard? I'm trying to passthrough a LSI 2308-8e SAS card to a Hyper-V vm running FreeNAS, but have not has much success. I have a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming motherboard with the latest bios. I've enable IOMMU in bios, but Server 2016...
