    FreeBSD 9 and IBM M1015

    I'm planning on buying one, so I'm wondering. What did you flash it with?

    Looking for a RAID card

    I'm getting a new mobo and that IBM card. It says it supports 16 drives, but I haven't found any SAS breakout cables for 8xSATAII, just curious.

    Looking for a RAID card

    The IBM m1015 card is no good for me, I don't have an empty PCIe slot, just the old PCI. The long white ones on this mobo: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3498

    Looking for a RAID card

    I ordered the Seagate one, could be a bad choice, but even my WD green aren't specified for 24/7 and I had no problems so far.

    Looking for a RAID card

    So if you had to pick among these 3 drives, what would you pick? http://www.hoh.de/hardware/festplatten/hoh-tipp/538231/seagate-barracuda-7200.14-2000gb-3-5-sata-6gb/s-7200rpm-64mb?c=30090...

    Looking for a RAID card

    What about http://www.hoh.de/hardware/festplatten/hoh-tipp/538231/seagate-barracuda-7200.14-2000gb-3-5-sata-6gb/s-7200rpm-64mb?c=30090 I think I'm going for it. Any idea how to get those add-in cards in EU at acceptable price?

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Hi! I need ZFS help. Currently I have 3x2TB WD green in RAID5 (integrated mobo controller). Now, I'm going the freeBSD route, with 6x2TB WD green RAIDZ2. My mobo only has 4xSATAII so I'm looking for a freeBSD compatible SATA expander PCI card. What are my options? How is ZFS on freeBSD?

    Looking for a RAID card

    Thanks for all the info. I'll be going the ZFS RAIDZ2 route. Now I just need a HBA or some other way to expand the number of SATA ports on my M68M-S2P mobo that works with freeBSD. Any suggestions?

    Looking for a RAID card

    First, I meant "Hot Spares" not Hot swaps, my mistake. And I agree with you, it'd be really stupid if you lost your data because of a hot swap. xD It seems you really have things thought over! I'm not going to implement a generator or anything like that, but burglaries are non-existant where I...

    Looking for a RAID card

    It's nice that they offer encryption but it's the monthly fees that I'm not comfortable with. The most important data is backed up to 3 different disks in the household. Let's just say, that I won't put it online and if you think that's a mistake, well.... A PC with RAIDZ2, hot swaps...

    Looking for a RAID card

    6$/month for unlimited GB, WOW! But no thanks, I'm a bit paranoid and I like to have my data in my home, not on some server somewhere, where nothing stops foreign governments from looking. I don't have anything to hide, but privacy is a basic human right that is very much forgotten on the...

    Looking for a RAID card

    I don't have a backup for the data, so I need a reliable storage solution. I'm comfortable with Linux but I'm using stuff that's only available on Windows so I'm going to make the switch only if the Linux solutions provides much much better data protection and reliability. I've looked at...

    Looking for a RAID card

    I'm leaning towards HW raid because I've looked at a lot of SW solutions and none were what I was looking for. The best was Flex raid, but back then, the real time version was only in beta and I don't like the snapshot version. But now, with the problems you mentioned and me remembering reading...
