Okay, good to know.. running FreeNAS myself, and planning to populate a chassis with ST4000LM024's: snipsnip: Chopped it in half, put a 200w Shuttle powersupply in the 5,25" bay. For now, 1m 8087 cables going directly from the backplane to internal controllers in the server below. Been...

What OS are you running on your NAS? And what RAID level?

Hi, I posted a while ago, but since then I have moved to a new apartment. This is the topology: To the left: 1st floor access point and L2 switch Middle: L3 switch, Cisco 2504 WLC and a server (vmware hypervisor, freenas vm and 8 4TB disks for storage) To the right: L2 switch, pfsense...

Nice little system, have you tested routing performance? How much was total cost for it?

Yeah the case is stock. http://www.norcotek.com/product/rpc-4308/ Measurements etc can be found here: http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/accessories/racks/srk8/

Bought a new switch (2960S-24TS-L), a new rackmounted case (Norco RPC-4308) and a rack to hold everything, a Samson SRK8 on wheels: A two port LACP between firewall and switch, with several vlan-interfaces on top of it. PDU on the back rails for power from the UPS: Some length on the cables...

Sweet. Can you manage it from some cloud service? Yup, it has separate power supply. I know it runs on cuau1, so I've configured that. I've tried all the drivers, different refresh frequencies and so on.. but no go. I've tried to find anything on that LCD model, microcontroller, regarding...

Yeah, its most probably an Ezio 300: http://www.portwell.com/products/detail.php?CUSTCHAR1=EZIO-300 It's got a PIC16F627A microcontroller, connected to the motherboard by a serial RS232 with 3 leads.

Aww.. thats a shame. Will be looking out for that, thanks :) Grills are for pussies.. ^^

I cut a hole in the head, removed the brains (harddrive) and the noisy fans on this buddy: Put a quiet radial fan from a Dell OptiPlex in, and found a CF-card slot under a panel underneath. Populated this with a 8GB CF-card with pfSense on it. Sadly enough I have not been able to get the...

Thanks :) They're not very loud actually. But they do produce some vibrations. I can see from IPMI they run at approx 6000 rpms. Thinking of maybe running them at 7 or 5 volts instead.

The corsair coolers arrived.. They're covered with stickers, god knows why, I think they look much better without them: Mounted: In action: Temps are better too, ~40 instead of ~60 degrees celsius, when using 25% of memory on the vmware host :)

Did you configure the controller to use staggered spin-up? I don't think my M1015 flashed to IT mode spin the drives staggered, all drives spin up as soon as I push the powerbutton..

What drives? I could imagine sas spinners would be quite hot in one of those.. The drives in the hp cage got quiiite hot without fans pulling and pushing, about 70-80 deg C. With fans in current setup, they hover around 40-50 deg C. Memory in this rig of mine is getting quite hot, ordered...

I mounted the cage to a plate of plexi, and then to a fan using rubber grommets. Then mounted the fan to the bottom of the chassis. Yeah I guess, but it works and voltages are OK. The HP drives spin up staggered, one after the other, so that helps. According to my UPS stats it hovers...

They're Zalman CNPS10X Optima heatsinks :) Cheap, but works wonderfully and the pwm fans are quiet.

Ran out of memory so had to get a new mobo and some ram sticks. Also since its an eatx board, I had to remove ODD bays and the top 5 HDD bays. Need to figure out how to fit more drives in there now. New specs: X8DTH-iF, 12x 16GB DDR3 REG QR 1066Mhz memory, 2x Xeon X5560 cpus, HP P400 w/...

Thank you. Thats a fan controller indeed. Salvaged a backplane, cage and P400 sas controller from and old DL380G5. Cage seems to fit quite well just between the PSU and drivecage. Got some more drives too, and thinking of maybe replacing SSDs for datastore with a raid-5 array of sas disks and...
