I do occasionally. I have a box of FC41ES cards around the house somewhere. They are the single port version of the same card. EDIT: I use it with a 20 drive SAN enclosure.

I need to find shorter internal SAS cables. It bugs me, too!

I just finished building my new workstation rig to replace my FX8320. Since I am using more and more enterprise-level storage, I wanted a platform that had the features of a server but in a desktop format. Enter the Workstation build. My work is geared more toward enterprise systems, so un-compressing and moving 4TB files is not unheard of for me. I also like to game in my limited free time, so I needed a suitable graphics solution. Here is what I am typing this on: Fractal Define S Custom, hand built hard line liquid cooling Supermicro X10SRA-O Intel Xeon E5 2695 v3 - 14 cores 28 threads @ 2.3Ghz 64GB DDR4 2133 ECC Reg NVidia Geforce Gtx 970 Adaptec ASR 8885 SAS3 RAID Controller w/BBU Intel dual 10Gb SFP+ NIC Atto FC42ES dual port 4Gb fibre HBA 8x 1.92TB HGST Read Intensive SAS3 SSDs in RAID5 8x 3TB SATA6 in RAID5 20TB FC SAN Here are the pictures and a link to my Passmark score. http://www.passmark.com/baselines/V9/display.php?id=82012309669

I have about a half dozen of dual port 10Gb cards in my parts drawer. I guess I would be living rich over there in Brazil. I threw out all my 100Mb stuff like 10 years ago. Crazy how this stuff becomes obsolete in the states but gold in other places.

Enlighten me, please. What is so special about this card? I would otherwise consider it average and nothing special. I think I have one in my spare parts collecting dust. I'm curious to know about it.

I wanted to upgrade my PC but I had trouble finding a CPU that would double my performance to make it worth an upgrade. I wound up settling on a build based on these two items. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x10sra.cfm https://ark.intel.com/products/81057/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2695-v3-35M-Cache-2_30-GHz

Sorry, but for me, that stuff went in the garbage many years ago. It was not worth the electricity it took to power it.

It's a steering gear box. I have rebuilt them before. I rebuilt the one in my F250 about a year ago.

It is a cache expansion and battery backup module for my SAS controller. When data is cached before being written to the drives, it is cached on the SAS controller in (essentially) RAM. If the system experiences a power loss, the data in the cache is saved by keeping power to the RAM modules so the data can be written to disk when power is restored. The end goal is to reduce the possibility of data corruption. Here is what the BBUWC module attaches to: https://storage.microsemi.com/en-us/support/raid/sas_raid/asr-8885/

Latest purchase: TowerRAID TR8X12G http://www.sansdigital.com/tr8x12g.html I had been looking for an affordable SAS3 back-plane solution for a while and this baby came on the market. I had 8 HGST 1.92TB SAS3 RI SSDs just collecting dust while I searched for a SAS3 back plane and or expander. Most were enterprise solutions that were 2-3U and would be nice but loud in the computer room. With a RAID5 giving me 12.2TB usable SSD storage, I am getting over 3.3GB/s read speed. I was hoping for closer to 6.0GB/s but I am still stuck on PCI-e 2.0, so that may have some effect.

I recently bought a Star Model S. It is like a mini 1911 chambered in .380ACP. I have not shot it yet but next time I go to the range... It looks exactly like the one in the picture but the picture is not mine. It is slightly bigger than a 3.5" HDD (for size reference). Mine is in mint condition with the original box, papers, mag and price tag.

I watch him on occasion. He does have some valuable information amongst the antics. I don't really pay attention to Jerry. He seems like Jay's "yes" man.

Looks like she is going to get a pretty nice PC. I bet she will have no problems running those games and more of max settings at 1080p.
