Didn’t Linus use way larger drives in it?

Hi everyone, I'm having issues with my DS4243 which funny enough I bought a week before LTT released their video. I ended up going with the below which I feel I've made a mistake but I'm seeing the HBA on trueNAS, windows and ubuntu but no drives. Hardware: - LSI SAS 9300-8e Host Bus Adapter - External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to QSFP(SFF-8436) Hybrid SAS Cable, 30AWG, 100-Ohm, 1.5-m(5ft) - Netapp ds4243 - Optiplex 7050 i7 running Windows and another running ESXI 6.7U2 Does anyone have any suggestions as I've got it all plugged in and from my understanding using the HBA they should just show up without much config? I've got the HBA hooked up to TrueNAS but I'd love to have it hook up to my ESXI 6.5U2 The below is how Ubuntu showed the device.

Normal rackmount, so roughly 70cm 44 cm 18 cm (D x W x H) is what I have to work with.

Hi, I'm currently building a NAS in a server chassis that I have no clue what it is but It looks as though I have enough room for a 60 drive backplane. Does anyone have any recommendations of where I can get one and recommendations of backplanes I could look at?

Hi everyone, I am unsure on how to search and find a router that has the three features below. vpn the type where it is self hosted like fritzvpn. vpn connection to Nord VPN and ect dyndns connection Cellular backup. I wanted to know if anyone knows of any modems that have those features all in one package. If by one has suggestions of modems that would be awesome. I will look at accompanying this with a managed switch too if there are any suggestions? I really am only going to use gigabit but wouldn’t mind the ability to also upgrade to 10 gigabit. All my wiring is Cat 7 but none of my devices are capable of using the bandwidth.

Hi, Just looking around and I'm still in the process of investigating, however I though to ask here. Has anyone found a software that allows you to isolate the VPN to one program like utorrent? Otherwise, allow other programs to bypass the VPN you activate. The end result is I'd like is to have my torrent-ing program's network traffic to go through the VPN but I don't want my Plex server to. The only solution I have at the moment is to separate this into two VM's and put a VPN on one of them with the my torrent-ing program.

Cheers but I don't mind spending a bit of money if I'm looking at a decent performance increase. I don't really understand what doing the GPU encoding/decoding. But I don't think i need a low profile since it's in a HP dl380p g8. But do all graphics cards come with a output video port or are there server specific ones that don't have any (I won't be using an output video so I would think that it would be technically cheaper to manufacture without the ports hence more specific use cases).

Hi I'm only new to this whole server game and have finally started the ball rolling. I'm asking is it worth it to get a graphics card in my server since I'm only really using it for VM's and I'm wondering if it could assist with the performance when I'm 'remote console'-ing into it. I'm running with 2 x E5-2690v2, 384 DDR3 1866MHz, PCIE 3.0 and it has 4 x (8x) slots and 2 x (16x) slots. This is pretty much just running a plex server, linux (educational purposes) and eventually I want it to do

That's my aim atm I just want to make sure it's the right one.

Yeah its up above. The thing is I want to be able to terminate it so I don't have to push an expensive cord with a usb c jack and potentially damage it.

There isn't any way to even boot and have the whole server act like components over thunderbolt or something?

I saw this I just wasn't sure if it's pretty much my only option

I'm only new to all of this and have started setting up my first server with a plex server and a few vm's. I am looking to build slowly a new rack mount workstation in the same rack. But then have a mini-pc on the desk which remotes into the workstation pc. I want to know if I can somehow pretty much negate lag so it's as if it was right next to my desk. I have CAT 6a from the server to the room I am going to and it'll have wifi 6 as backup with hopefully an upgrade to 6e when it becomes consumer. The server internally has all 10Gbe between NAS (not that it ever can fill it) and the server itself and eventually the workstation. Want to know: - Extra equipment to reduce lag - Minimum hardware requirements to run a low latency I was also thinking whether I can somehow use a pcie riser to usb c on the server/workstation --> a break out of usb-c and split over two Ethernet CAT 6a --> combine the two Ethernet cords into breakout of usb c at the desk -->usb-c hub for display and peripherals?
