If you have a HBA controller, you will first need to mount and format the disk before you can run a diag tool like these tool you have on the on the disk running from a Window or Linux OS boot disk. (USB boot disk will work.) if a RAID controller instead, you have to create a RAID 0 volume then format the disk then you can read the disk. Hope this helps some...

not sure...

Set it up first using the console hook up on the back like the 3300, then you can get it to work on the J-web side.

LOL nope it is a type thanks for catching that and I will fix it. /:>

@leadiususa7394 no worries you also said it in the video:)

You should be able to, but do your research first just to make sure.

@@leadiususa7394 your videos is very useful for me, my knowledge is not so good and need to practice ...

I wouldn't to much of a risk.. best to replace the pump

nope not really

Yes it should work...

@@leadiususa7394do you know how I could do this?

@@garebee7954 Use the automatic option and it will do it for you. Buy the drive, use the free software and run it with automatic support and it will work for your needs.

All standard SAS chassis are good for they work with anything. The key thing is to get a good price on one. Super-micro disk array are real good and Netapp arrays

@leadiususa7394 thanks for the info. Just picked up the SAE off ebay for cheap....now im looking for a 3.5in format jbod as well with your same level of praise haha

yep, i do but team them as groups

I find that if I am doing a small SAS setup in a PC tower I go with a LSI SAS contgroller (Link) www.ebay.com/itm/155007176276?_skw=lsi+9200+SAS+inernal+controller&epid=1037286617&itmmeta=01JA864HPM2H57RVXQ3K6ECYPZ&hash=item241725ce54:g:tQIAAOSw7VtbyUby&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkxFgKfNZBffG0XROBb3vGac4EWDg%2FBUGwiKBN0OjQ39ObQGuDW6LXJdFmXt0JaDwo7AczmdpDluBoVTwv%2BJVyQz87Wzvgl%2FvrkH4RWxiEr%2BLGz%2Fy3AKjHtgdsyD5RnVQoppcWdVPZNjipTFgWV2FSKPycUBJi4zL2GECKcbgBSGDlHetc6sn9o8Fua5OAFuYi7d0W2%2FNv0OhrDzJ%2Fk2uTN1o7mR116CAk7wDiBFzPH7bpR4Z3BmR6VolQ%2BXOrq1sC21gK8bCMr%2BNRtbYPai6kx6wlsDcEBuI8URi8X5CZU5hjwTdKRmf0TJSB0ycjBiyk%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8ibkobSZA and then I get two internal SAS cable sets for connecting up to the SAS drives.

@@leadiususa7394 will do thank you sir!!!🙏

OK so that is a trick question. You see your SAS controller comes as a SAS female connection (such as a LSI 9200 series SAS controller) but you may have a mini SAS female connection on the controller side of the disk array. First you need to research that array controller to see what SAS type connection it has. Then your server's SAS controller and yes there are cables out there that can go from SAS to Mini-SAS connectors. (but only doas SAS protocol.) Hope this helps you some.

A HP 410 or P800 series will work or yo cna go single channel with a LSI HBA 9200 series or higher SAS controller should work but do your research for if you want HBA or RAID first. .

That is the whole point, give it a try and learn something new

Yes you have options, get them from E-Bay to save on costs.

Yes but by adding a I/O SSD card only

@@leadiususa7394 thanks for considering it

I think I did 8 TB drives at the highest, It could go higher I think

lol

@@leadiususa7394 thanks for the info, using proxmox is this ok? and for 2024 or in the future is still good to use?

@@leadiususa7394 I have a question is still good for 2024? I am planning to buy one which cost here around $449.21 and quad cpu forgot the version of Intel Xeon and have a 512GB memory installed and also has a drive 2x 400GB. My ideal use of it or plan is Autocad or 3d modeling and also my personal machine running also VM's is. Also I'll be doing to create an AI for LLM, I hope this is suitable also for add gpu or egpu's?

@@LabTest-z5l You may want to add a good GPU (slime profile) to help with your video and the IA functions for that will be a big add-on as well

@@leadiususa7394 thanks for the reply as said on my previous comment is this a good deal 449.21 USD quad cpu Intel Xeon and have a 512GB memory installed and also has a drive 2x 400GB?

Yes you can do that because the ground of the power outlet match your voltage gauge of 20 amps. or also refer to the power cable gauge of 10 or 12 gauge wiring. So yes for basic rack grounding a wall socket will work. This would not work if you had let say use two 30 amp connections for your PDU surge strips and you grounded your rack to R5 15/20 amp wall outlet instead, then you have a risk of fire. keep apples to apples, If you use 30 amp power source then ground to the same power source to keep things safe.

as Flash storage NAS*

Oh for sure and most of my video talk to not doing it but this time it s about how small can you get and still have an NAS. Why not an I get it so you can use any small I/O controller board that you like. But the Pie is the basic out there so I use it as my ZFS controller n this case. I don't really do back ended slow NAS solutions myself but in this case it's about the size mostly but I do agree. I am enjoying the design part of this I got to say.

OK, let's look at the area or room you plan to use for your new IT home lab?

@@leadiususa7394 I’m living in a block of flats. My family can handle some amount of noise - if that isn’t much louder than Powermac G5 on full blast. Don’t know how about the sound behind the walls? Is it noticeable from up/downstairs, that I’ve rendered some video? I have a rack with my sound equipment, but not full size (depth is too short something about 50cm). Probably I won’t be using servers 24/7 (except of network gear). I was looking to buy used Lenovo ThinkSystem or IBM X3650 M5 - don’t know about server hardware much more than it’s capable of better delivering virtualization and storage than regular PC boxy thingy 😉 I’m IT technician, but left behind IT for ~10 years to feed my family doing trucking stuff (no job listings where I was before moving to a new appartment)

@@leadiususa7394 It wil be at my living room - that's where my ISP router is - and I'm not allowed to do much damage inside my appartment. It can be somewhat noisy.. I don't know where my previous comment goes, but I was thinking about some rack mounted servers - what to buy, and if I'm in right path here?

@@seedneyWill why don't you look at a micro rack first with some small form factor PCs llke a few Dell 7040 and include a Layer 3 switch for your LAN and start there. Later you can move up to a 24-U half rack open ended. (that means it doesn't have any side walls of doors for max air flow.) and add new costs if this is the path you want to do. Here is a mini rack 19 inch rack 9-u format that mount to a wood backing to look at maybe: www.instructables.com/19-Comms-Rack-Made-of-Wood/

What parts did you use?

OK so first, the brick wall is bring in heat from the outside. If you notice in my videos I have a silver covered walls. There is a reason for that,. That is to prevent the very thing you are dealing with. You need to insulate the inner wall away from the the outer head of the outside. place up ferning strips 1x3 inch or 2x4 inch wood boards up on the brick walls and then put up the insulation that has a high R factor to retard heat retention. That will help a lot with your issue,. Hope this helps some.

@@leadiususa7394 Thanks Brad 👍🏻

Correct, the cable ratting is key but you have to have a 12GB controller and a 12GB drive for this to work

Thanks Ben!

If the drive is ratted as hot swap able then yes. that easy but make sure you have your hot swap disks setup in your ZFS or Raid configs as well so the storage system knows it has a hot swap disk to use

No only the setting will reset but it will start over writing to hew data, you will need to reformat the drive/s

Think of it more like a main resources vs. simple cluster compute power for you have access to all the I/O inputs such as USB and so on. Build a I/O cluster in your house and all the PC systems DP are part of it, Printers, USB devices an so on are available for use with in the cluster, but this could go farther to include monitoring systems, security and camera's CNC and other lab gear... and so on. The devices come just like PNP and not DMA addresses (old school) One scanner or printewr can server the whole network and pops up in your print queue, or a comman NAS for use fully secure by being in the cluster. think of this as user cluster and not a HPC or HCP cluster for home IT lab use or more as a central home or building cluster.

Back in the days when TX-10/100 was the norm and having tx-1000 connection was the fastest but only a few ports. but today I have 100 GB switches to 10 GB switches to 1 GB nodes... So that may not be the case anymore.

Right on...
