Has anyone ever felt like punching or strangling or running over people who mix B/s and bps transfer speeds like they interchange both units and cause a lot of confusion? I'm one of them. Hit this thread if you're fed up like me!

So we're moving to a new place and unfortunately the maximum speed the ISP there can provide is 15 Mbps. Then I had a thought of load balancing two internet connections into a single network. That's how I found out about Dual Wan Routers. Specifically the TP-Link TL-R470T+. It can combine up to 4 WAN connections in either a fail safe mode where it only uses one connection at a time or have them share the bandwidth at the same time. What I like to know is how do you set this up on the local end? Do I connect a switch on one of the LAN ports and all good? or can I set it on bridge mode and set it up basically as a load balancer and connect another Router with better features? Need some opinions. Thanks!

Thank you. I am in contact with several other server case manufacturers asking them for 12G support. For now, the 850 Pro is the goal. But if I could find a good enough price for an SM863 then I would get that instead. For RAID Controller, I'm not gonna scrimp and definitely get a 9361-8i. Got a lot of favorable reviews.

Setting up to get 850 Pros. I just had a Norco rep contact me and said their RPC-2212 12 Bay 2U Server Chassis does support 12G despite being mentioned to support only 6G.

It's for a Database server running SQL Server 2014. 12 drives, RAID 10. Was just wondering at the idea of 12G SAS.

I see. Thank you. I was thinking maybe just bypass the backplane entirely and purchase one of these http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/8682-05m.asp

So I got curious after checking out a few server cases. Most if not all uses 6G SAS/SATA backplanes. But what if I use a SAS 12G drive on it. Will it run at 12G provided I have a 12G capable HBA (say 9300-8i) and proper cables?

Thanks! This is the one I'm talking about.

Yeah I heard that from looking around. But I swear they did a video upgrading their Web Server to SDD back sometime in 2013 if not 2014. And if I remember correctly Edzel was in that video as well, or Brandon. They used either Samsung 840 Evos or 830s.

So I've been searching for hours now about this videos where Linus upgraded their Web Server Host drives with SSDs. I think they were Samsung Evos. The problem is I've searched for it on Youtube and it doesn't show up. I tried searching on the channel itself but the problem is Youtube would only let you go back so far. The video was made sometime in 2013. I did a search from newest to oldest and it only went as far as CES 2014. I tried the other way around starting with the oldest and it only reached 2012. So yeah. Youtube's stupid in channel search wouldn't go to the 2013 archive. I'd like to ask for help on searching for this video. I just need to see the server build as a reference. Thank you!

I'm located in Costa Mesa. My budget is $100. But I've already been in contact with Noctua and asked about their NH-L9x65 and told me it would do but the CPU will be on the hot side if kept on constant load so good case airflow is a must and there wouldn't be much room between the top of the 2U case and the fan. My solution to that would be making vent holes on top of the Noctua cooler for air to get in.

It won't fit in a 2u chassis. It needs to be very low profile. I'll give those a look. I'd like more options though and good recommendations if anyone has an experience with a 2u size cpu cooler. Has to be lga 1150 compatible btw.

Hey guys! Need some recommendation on a 2u server chassis compatible cpu cooler. It'll need to cool down a xeon e3 1231-v3 24/7. Thanks!

That's exactly how I thought it should be. Thanks fo verifying it!

Thanks for the answers. I was wondering how it will work out on a 10 Gbps network with a server on 10 Gbps and several 1 Gbps clients. I presumed if it's just a one on one connection then it will be 1 Gbps. But if two or three then the 10 Gbps speed should be able to accomodate them by giving them 1 Gbps each leaving 7 Gbps of headroom for additional clients.
