"As I walk through the aisles in MicroCenter,
I take a look at my cart and see some empty space, err.
Cause I've been chargin' and hoardin' so long,
Even my forum boys think my mind is gone.

I'm decommissioning some gear and am offering up for sale sixteen (16) 4 TB SAS drives. These are Seagate Constellation ES. 3 drives. I'm first opening these up as a single-lot purchase. I will be running DBAN on these shortly. I also need to source enough anti-static bags for these. So...
Well, per title - I have an ASR-72405 on a Gigabyte Gaming 7 x399. It will not post with the RAID card plugged in - without battery, without being connected to my backplane.
What say you? Mobo doesn't like card? Card doesn't like UEFI? Maybe card needs firmware updated? Maybe card is bad. I...
Ok. So, I need some help. I intended to use VMware for two or three VM's, but the freeware version doesn't allow enough vCPU's for my needs. One VM needs many vCPU's. The other, not so much.
Here's what I need to do: single Threadripper hosting stuff using Windows 10 or server. I need another...
Gents,
Looking to buy some ECC RAM for an x399 1950x/Auros Gaming 7 setup. Specifically looking for 16gb modules of UDIMM ECC non-registered, unbuffered RAM.
Speed is not that critical; I won't be overclocking it. Price is the main consideration.
If anyone has recommendations on sources for...

I've been using a 16-bay supermicro chassis with a 3570k-based hardware. Filled with 4tb drives. I have a 24-bay that I plan to populate with 14tb drives as resources allow.
I have been using 2 HBA's for my current usage, and running Plex server from the machine. It transcodes fine. All...
Just bought a chassis that has a X8DTI-LN4F Mobo. Anything worth putting in it for use or scrap it? I guess it supports Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors.
Edit: has two E5620 in it.
Anyone running a sophos box that has experienced this: download/upload is at parity from the fiber box. Once it passes through the firewall, which has no active filtering of any kind running - I get full download, but only about 10% of upload speed.
Any ideas? Changed cables, removed all...
I have a pool comprised of a single vdev 16-drives wide in ZFS2. What's the harm (if any) of adding another vdev with a different number of drives?
16x4tb drives = 64tb - 8tb =56tb
I had been using a 12-drive chassis as backup, but want to throw it into the mix as well. What would you guys do...
Gents,
Let me start by saying, I don't have logs.
However, when doing a whole, whole lot of reads and writes to a FreeNAS 11.2 16-drive array in ZFS2, I get an error...where soft shutdown commands won't work, even from the console. I get a rrdcache status 2 error. I'm sure I can replicate it...
Does anyone know what the max limit connections for windows 10 SMB shares are? I don't mean concurrent users. Seems Windows 7 had a limit that could be removed with some editing.
Any ideas on windows 10?
Per title. 10% eBay bucks til 3/28 if using app. Otherwise 8%. Might be targeted, I'm not sure.
Edit: I've been informed this is targeted. So...do you feel lucky?
Ok. So I added an inexpensive Dell switch (left unmanaged, should just be a dumb hub) to my setup.
Setup:
Fiber point => sophos box (gateway, DHCP, firewall) => dell 5424 switch => workstation
Now, I'm running a VPN on the workstation. It appears to drop my networked drives (volumes on a...
Gents,
Looking for 16 gigs (must be 2x8gb) of Ripjaws DDR3 1600 RAM.
Heat under Joust. PayPal for payment.
Please PM shipped price to 29210 if you've got some to part with. The stuff isn't really rare or particularly expensive - but I'd rather give dollars to [H] that eBay.
Gents,
As far as I can tell, there appears to be a max height of 110mm for an air cooler in a 3u case. I've been running a 3570k in an open case, but I'm moving the entire rig into a more hostile environment and need to close it up.
What is the best option? Noctua, bequiet! Both have low...
I'm using ZFS ala FreeNAS. In ZFS2 (RAID 6 type).
Hardware: MSI Z77 Mobo, 3570k, 16(2x8) ripjaws 1600, 2 Dell/lsi HBAs, 16X4tb 7.2k Seagate Constellations.
I'm seeing very high wired RAM usage all the time - without any stress on it other than writing data. What's the wisdom here? Need more...

I've built a new (repurposed) rig for hosting my media server. Looks like this:
Z77a G45 MSI Mobo
3570k
2x8gb of ddr3 ripjaws
Two h310 RAID cards flashed to HBA's
Attempting FreeNAS 11.2
So, here's the bitch of it:
Using the vga port, minimum boot with both ram stick populated, it...
I've been about a 10gb switch for the home network. They are quite expensive, evidently. Anyone away of or use a 10gb switch appropriate for humble, poor people?
I've run cat6 all over my house, and now I have to terminate them in plates, and make additional lengths to get from the wall plates to my switching gear.
Anyone have a recommendation for a cat6 tool and ends?
Guys, I have a Lenovo IX that's been sitting around since forever. I'd like to replace the drives and use it as a low energy backup NAS. Any idea what the max supported drives are on these things?
It's old, it's crappy, but surely for this low demand use, it'd be ok?
Guys, I have these large 48v APC battery packs. They fit 12 cells, but maybe had fewer cells per tray. Someone took all the damn battery packs out and I'm not sure how it's wired. 12v cells. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this? Can take a picture if that helps.
Guys: looking for a very inexpensive portable / external SSD. 120gb is fine. I intend to use it basically as a flash drive that I can't lose as easily. Does need to be usb 3.0.
Let me know what you have, shipped.
PM's to avoid bumps, please.
Guys, I think I'm going to build a rack to store my home server and ups. I see some guys that build them out of 2x4s and etc, but I'm kind of thinking that filtered air has benefits. Any of you guys built a filtered cabinet?
Guys-
My 570x front panel arrived smashed into approximately 8,000 pieces. I have decided that I have an idea for a custom front and top panel - I have the top panel to make a template, but I do not have the front. Would someone be kind enough to measure their front panel and let me know the...

Gents,
I've bought cat6 cable to run through my house, but I was thinking a powerline adapter may be the better overall solution. Currently I'm running a firewall gateway, wired to an Asus 66r, bridged to an Asus 68r. The wifi stability on the farther AP is crap. I can, with some measure of...

Guys, I'm looking to get a 1tb seagate 7200 spinner, and a seagate 4tb 7200 spinner. If the price is really right, maybe I can do more of the 4 tb drives.

Thanks, guys.

Guys:
I'm scaling back some mining due to, primarily, thermal limit of my house as summer approaches. Living in the tropics, I'm struggling to economically keep my gear - and dwelling - cool. Also, like the inevitability of death, the Tax Man cometh.
