@fernando & @dufus: Thanks so much for all your hard work! i got trim working on a p55m-ud2 with raid 0 samsung SSDs with all your help and guides! rocking job! THANKS!

as far as i can tell, unmanaged, but the macid is confusing (and the switch does not grab a dhcp'ed address). the 2 page installation manual says all 24 ports can do POE, the powerDsine internal power module connects to all 24 10/100 ports, and i've tried all 24 ports with a POE mitel 5330...

http://www.txcesssurplus.com/servlet/the-7370/NEW-NETGEAR-LM-dsh-GP7224-24-dsh-Port/Detail 24 10/100 POE switch (all ports are poe capable) w/ 2 gigabit uplinks though the power supply indicates only 200 watts on the -50v rail. the macid on the sticker on the inside indicates Netgear...

i was trying to use WHS's intelligence for duplicating folders to avoid having to continually buy matching drives when i needed to upgrade space... but now that you mention that idea, i might be able to do something kind of like that, as the WHS is in an esxi box. i might be able to use an...

i had already tried the compatibility mode check (tried xp and win 2000) for the installer and for the actual change detection service (both blow up on server detection, still.) thanks for another idea!

thanks for all your help, however, i did not explain this well. i want a good offsite backup for DR (backblaze is my preferred choice due to the amount of data i have) and i need local replication/backup as well. so i would like good folder replication on a desktop OS, so i can use...

I am trying out a windows home server install, and i like everything it does except backblaze does not work for windows home server. backblaze vomits on the fact that windows home server is a "server" OS. i managed to get all the pieces to the home server without actually running the...

i normally would not buy an off brand power supply, however, i could not find much information about them, who manufactures them, and their power supplies were not completely cheap (usually a bad sign). i bought the following matx power supply for use in a lan rig...

Ig, that is a pretty good idea, except some of our field producers use laptops, and even the ones with desktop would be hard pressed to put anything in their system. i was trying to keep it very simple (ie, firewire 800/400 or usb hookup.) thanks for all the help!

the complicated setup is what i'm trying to avoid. when we send this out to producers, they hook up the drive or drives directly to a computer. we are not needing a fibre layer or aggregated network connections in the field (i do not want to have to send someone out to setup every producer...

freenas = free network attached storage. it does support iscsi, which is block access over ethernet, but that is not transparent enough for my users. i need an installation or configuration which allows direct block access over usb, firewire, and esata (or at least firewire.) using the...

I've seen network attached storage all over, but I wanted to know if there was any way to configure a linux box (or any OS, but i figured linux would be easiest) to run or to share its drives as a block level device over firewire, usb, and esata ports? i realize there are plenty of boxes...

curses! thanks for checking!

mind checking on stores: 2132 359 50 2391 or 47 i went to 2 of them last night and couldn't find any... thanks!

yes, that would be a 1TB sata drive in each slot. I want raid 6, since i'm using that many sata drives. how well does your dell cx300 operate? what kind of speeds do you see? what load level? my video editors can't have drive drops or their rendering goes to pot. they are currently running...
