I hear what your saying now Gea. I'll look to get licensed here in the next few weeks. Thanks again!

Thanks for the insight. After inputting the eval key I went to the update menu and I did not see any options for downloading the pro versions of Napp-It. The main menu does show that I'm in a day trial so it looks as if the key was installed successfully. I'll give it another try tonight...

Gea, I have a few questions for you mainly around subscriptions and licensing. First and foremost I want to thank you for napp-it and everything you've done for the community. I recently read your performance paper surrounding the new versions of OmniOS and Solaris and SMB2.1. It motivated me...

As always thanks for the help!

Can anyone point me to cheapest 10Gb card supported by OmniOS? Right now I'm looking at Intel X520's but I'm wondering if there is anything cheaper. Thanks!

With all due respect to eptesicus, I can't even say that's top 5.

wirerogue, I like your setup man, very clean. Well done.

It's interesting you say that as I use Mac's but I have my ZFS storage on a separate OmniOS box. I connect using iSCSI, NFS and AFP and I have no issues with iTunes. What are the benefits you get from running it local?

Very impressive.

4TB Seagates > 3TB WD's

Welcome to the club.

HD != CPU What' the point of your screen shot above?

Nice you got me on that one. I by all means meant as long as your using a HD within the manufacturer specifications you should be fine. I think a lot of people assume sustained levels of 50C will increase HD failure rate but given the information from the reports from Backblaze and Google I...

But the spec says just that, it can operate at temperatures up to 70C. The idea that heat kills hard drives is just a theory not really a fact. A good read: Hard Drive Temperature – Does It Matter?

I think you need to consider tiered storage. I’m not quite sure what your data set is going to be beyond VM’s but I would suggest a separate pool of SSD’s for the VM’s and SATA or SAS storage for everything else. If this is a work enterprise server then by all means use...

I backup my data to two locations. The first location is a smaller HP Microsever that I keep upstairs while my large array is in the basement. The second location is my brother’s house. He has a small Microserver as well that he uses as his main NAS which he has afforded me some space on. We...

Can you elaborate on why RAID 50 is worse. I don't see how that can be the case.

Everyone has a preference for what drives they prefer or which drives they deem as the best or most reliable. You can't really say XXX brand is the best as each hard drive series is different. I have two great reads for you. The first is from Backblaze where they give reliability stats in...

I totally understand, as its always been slow motion for me when switching platforms. I'm interested in anything you have to share about using 10Gb and what you've found so far. Thanks!

Any updates Seku?

I'm sorry bro but GTFOH.

There was no way it was usable. You need more AP's for that area.

And you work for banks, seriously? What about being PCI compliant?

The Unitrends VM does not need a network connection to the DMZ to backup DMZ VM's. All of the connections happen via vCenter/ESXi. As long as the Unitrends box can see the vCenter/ESXi server you should be good.

Use a backup product that's virtual that can connect directly to the datastore, like Unitrends.

I'm just trying to confirm what your saying here. Your using 20 drives and with 18 spun down and your only pulling 67 watts? What are you using to cool these drives? What are your drive temps? Also how many kWh are you using total at your house to be hitting Tier4 pricing? It almost seems...

Juniper SRX for the win.

I have the SM CSE-837E16-RJBOD1 3U JBOD and the hot swap fans are very loud and it's very annoying. I plan to swap them out at some point but the only fans that I've seen that offer similar static pressure with less noise are very expensive. I was using a set of 120mm that I had laying around...

Methodology ZFS snapshots and ZFS send and receive. Also Time Machine Software OmniOS = Nappit Medium My important files from my large array are backed up to a smaller Microserver. I also have a VPN tunnel with my brother and I send my snapshots to him as well. Interval Weekly...

Anyone using it? If so please share your experience...

Whats the idea behind 10Gb to the backup server. And what are the details on your backup server?

houkouonchi, Very few have personally bought as many disks as you but for what it's worth I've had great success with Seagates. Over the 25+ that I've owned in my lifetime I've had maybe 2 failed drives. I noticed that Backblaze had reliability with issues with Seagate 1.5TB drives like...

I'm going to have to disagree with you man. The only reason those bays are open is because I just pulled disks from my JBOD. I've owned this JBOD for over a year and a half and these disks for almost a year. I assure you they have never ran at 25 degrees celsius in this enclosure under any...

They seem fine to me. But this weekend I'll clean things up and see if it improves my temps. On another note to be fair my networking equipment is taking up half of that draw. c2t0d0 rpool basic ONLINE S:1 H:0 T:0 VB0250EAVER sat,12 PASSED 25 °C c5t5000C5004FA34CA9d0 ZFS raidz ONLINE...

I second this comment as well in regards to reliability between manufactures. In regards to my criteria for purchasing disks I have different priorities depending on the type of disk. Mechanical drive: 1. Price 2. Warranty 3. Speed SSD: 1. Speed 2. Price 3. Warranty Discrepancies...

Dan, I think your taking this a little bit too far man. I said "other features" so you can do research on your own to figure out why a controller based setup makes sense. I've said this a number of times but for the roaming, ease of manageability and expandability features alone makes this...

I also used 8 green WD drives in a Synology 1511+ and DX510 setup with no issues for two years.

Like I said in my last post it goes beyond just roaming. A single console to manage the AP's is nice amongst other features. If the OP is planing on using more then one AP now or in the near future is makes sense to buy into the Unifi system. And yes of course Unifi supports multicast. You...

Danne, I understand your points and I'm not trying to knock your solution at all. I'm sure the OP is taking it into consideration along with everyone else's suggestions. I think the value in your suggestion comes from the good experience you've had with the products you mentioned. The...
