Snagged an xbox from best buy, using chrome, on my phone. Just keep at it.

Your motherboard doesnt support ECC ram which is highly recommended with anything that uses ZFS such as freeNAS. Probably two at the moment. The kids arent quite old enough to get plex going on tablets, but I want to be ready when that time comes, and future-proofing. I still keep going...

Im looking at the basically the exact same setup except for using my 3x3TB WD Reds with plans to add another 3. RaidZ2 in freeNAS. Plex for transcoding and dlna. Hopefully a few other plugins. I've been going back and forth between the C2750D4I and the E3C226D2I+Xeon E3-1220 V3. Pretty...

Well, while working on a completely unrelated thing, resetting my DirecTV whole home DVR, I did a hard reset on my two DVRs. BAM! FreeNAS pops up in network discovery. Seems to be all good now, hoping that was it and its not a strange coincidence. Weird.

No i was on 9.2. I just updated to 9.2.1.8 this morning hoping it would fix it. No dice. As far as I can tell filtering is turned off on the switch, there is a lot going on with that switch though, I don't exactly know what everything is in its config.

So I recently picked up a ZyXEL GS1910-24 managed switch from Newegg during a sale for $157, I figured great deal and would allow me to do some cool things in the future. Its running behind a pfSense Atom box as my router/firewall. Before I had the switch (cheap unmanaged switch) windows...

I did use that as well as CrystalDiskMark.

840 Pro - Disk cloned from M4 with Samsung software. Got about 200gb on the drive right now.

I tried it both ways, all the screen shots are as a primary drive except the very first one. In both setups the sequential read was below 300MB/s on the filled portion of the drive. I considered keeping it as a data drive but with the additional cost of the 840 Pro, I opted to get my money...

512gb 840 Pro coming my way.

Fresh Windows 7 install after a SecureErase :) After filling half the drive. :( Leaning towards returning it. Am I being too nitpicky here?

Well I have a fresh install... of Windows 10 technical preview (which is pretty cool btw). Realizing now that the drivers are most likely not optimized for this. Results anyways Going to go install windows 7 now.

True but there is no reason it shouldn't have better sequential reads than my 128gb M4 that has been abused for the past 2.5 years. Thats an average of 366 MB/s vs my last run on the mx100 averaging 246 MB/s. Still hoping I just did something wrong.

Good point, I figured it would be slower than a pro or even the evo, but not half the speed. Im going to pop the drive in a different computer tonight and run this test, if that shows no improvement I'm going to do a fresh windows 7 install.... then return it.
