A AMD Opteron 6300 series Abu Dhabi / Pile Driver 4P system is faster and cheaper then a Intel Xeon E5 2600 series Sandy bridge 2P system. I recently just built two systems a 4P Opteron 6344 and a 2P E5-2680 system. Both systems got a 24pts score in cinebench. The E5s were $3,100 Opterons...

I have a Nashua 4462 Disk Pack, 80Mb from 1968. Its 14" wide with 5 platters. Made in USA Nashua NH if you can believe that. The machine was used for it was about 4 feet tall and cost $50,000 back in the day I was told. Also heard that some disk packs used to spin at 10,000 rpm. Sometimes...

Hmm ok yeah not sure either. Will start another thread and post pictures when get it running again. Yeah know not much gain in memory on bulldozer amd piledriver cores so would think server version would be same. Reason why trying to push every ounce out of server with ram is because have two...

Aw hmm darn so pain in but to get working at 1866. I had server2012 and cpuz on it looking at ram. Server is for remotefx hyperv.

Was fluctuating but don't think hit 667. Bios was showing it as DDR3-1333 anyways is it difficult to get 1866 speed on AD cores with ram I got or should I return it and get something else? I need every ounce performance out of this thing.

I see well I'm learning, Um I have 8GB sticks Model BLE8G3D1869DE1TX0 OS was saying 600MHz dual channel :-( Supermicro's site says DDR3 1866 Quad channel support. Thought could just pop it in and be good to go. I tried some tweaks and tricks in 3.0a bios nothing worked. What are these tricks?

No its just confusing for people that don't know what there doing totally. Was in middle of night when did this. And you said "ie" thought you meet "in example" and that is not what you were sopose to put. Darn yeah they said 24hour turn around knew that was bull shit. Yeah this rig needs...

Ok will give 6100 series a shot. Is there anyway supermicro will rma the board with a modded chip?

I looked in the supermirco 3.0a bios update it did not have a "AFUDOS.EXE" like you said it has a "AFUDOS.SMC" So downloaded the utility from AMI website. Did not used /P /B /N /C /R options because saw wasn't working for someone. The manual that came with the utility said to use /P /B /N /C...

Wow fast reply. Hmm I see, well I still have the board and can cancel the RMA have not shipped it yet. Will they even RMA it with a modded bios? Seems like getting a 6128 will be cheapest and easiest thing to do. Did I flash the bios correctly? I'm concerned it may be corrupted.

I'm hoping I could get a little help, I'm very new to 4p systems / folding. I have tried loading the bios and totally bricked my board :-( No beeps without ram, black screen, tried clearing cmos and supermicro BIOS recovery. Also tried the following posted in this thread. The board is...

Gea thanks again. For updating napp-it and making the best NAS system ever. As soon as you posted I ran over to finish the server. I was up till 6am all night Sunday and Monday finishing everything up. Finally catching up on some sleep. I have not tried updating, restoring snaps or deleting...

Ok I know this is way off topic here. I need little help and should have posted it in this thread I so pose. Is anybody else having major AFP share login issue with napp-it on OI 151a5? I found a few people in this thread that have a similar issue to what I'm having. Thought would be better...

If you downloaded latest ubuntu 12.04. Then after you boot to it click the ubuntu symbol in the top left corner and type "disk utility" Then select your drive from the left menu give it a few seconds then click "SMART Data" If all the dots are green then its recoverable. If you have some...

I have seen that happen to. You have another sata cable? I have seen some crappy sata cables cause slow speeds and even not allowing the drive to been seen.

If space is not to big of a issue would go with 3.5" disks like asgards said. There cheaper per GB. Would stay away from Seagate Constellation your really just paying for it being labeled as a enterprise drive. There are other drives cheaper per GB that are just as fast and reliable. Like...

That is true wd black drives are are lagging behind still faster then most. The extra money pretty much goes towards a long warranty. For a 5 year wd blacks are cheapest.

Use disk utility a ubuntu live cd is easiest way to fully check a drive out. Here is a guide. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/37659/the-beginners-guide-to-linux-disk-utilities/ Sounds like you may have to do a data recovery if the partition table is destroyed. dd rescue and photorec are...

I would get the WD black. Has 5 year warranty very reliable. Dropped my laptop while it was running 4ft on a concrete floor. Still running no bad sectors. Laptop drives are pretty fast get over 100MB/s

I keep getting invalid login or no shares available when trying to log in on an apple. I’m very new and no expert when it comes to Solaris / illumos. But I'm sure not the only one having this issue and I'm in desperate need of help. I have 100 people starting to get pissed at me because...
