ssd Enterprise SSD for Mac to edit 4K live and as a NAS server?
rboeta posted a topic in Storage Devices
Hello! New to the forum and hoping to get some advice. I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac in my home office to edit 4K videos, store Blu Ray movies (in MKV format), and I am hoping to build or buy a NAS server within this year. The NAS will have multiple users pulling movies, 4K MKV Blu-rays, and other files as well. The performance of enterprise SSD is by far better than the consumer SSD (endurance, speed, etc...). I just bought a 'Samsung MZQLB7T6HMLA-00007 PM983 7.6TB 2.5" PCI-E 3.0 x4 SSD'. For my Macs to recognize the SSD, I purchased the 'Sonnet Echo Express SE III Thunderbolt 3' and a 'Funtin PCIe NVMe SSD Adapter with U.2'. I chose the Samsung SSD because of an acceptable mix of performance and price. Do this setup makes sense? Should I look into other options? Will MacOs be able to recognize the SSD? I don't want to use HDD because of the low speeds and the fact that I have to have RAID to achieve speeds. Please help me determine if I made the right choice. Thank You-

Hey guys, this is gonna be a small build about upgrades to my home server. I had ran out of space for Plex storage since I was running just a small array of random 500GB used HDDs. I'll list my current specs and estimated specs down below, changes in BOLD. Feel free to ask some questions or make some recommendations! I changed the stock cooler out for the Noctua a little while back. I will also be adding a RAID Expander to accommodate the extra drives. I currently have only bought 4 of the 6 8TB Ultrastar Drives so I still have two more to purchase. Current Specs: CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2690 | GPU: NONE | Motherboard: SUPERMICRO X9SRL-F | RAM: 64GB (8x8GB) Micron VLP DDR3-1600 ECC | PSU: SUPERMICRO 665W 80 PLUS Bronze | STORAGE: 2x Samsung 860 EVO 500GB (RAID 1) & RANDOM DRIVES (RAID 5) | COOLER: Noctua NH-U12DXi4 with 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 | CASE: SUPERMICRO CSE-842TQ-665B 4U | OS: vSphere 6.7 U2 | Planned Specs: CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2690 | GPU: Quadro for Plex decoding | Motherboard: SUPERMICRO X9SRL-F | RAM: 64GB (8x8GB) Micron VLP DDR3-1600 ECC | PSU: Supermicro 500W Multi-Output Redundant Power Supply (PWS-503R-PQ) | STORAGE: 4x Samsung 860 EVO 500GB (RAID 10) & 6x 8TB WD Ultrastar Datacenter (RAID 10) | COOLER: Noctua NH-U12DXi4 with 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 | CASE: SUPERMICRO CSE-842TQ-665B 4U | OS: vSphere 6.7 U2 |

Hey guys, I picked up two free servers from work. They're HP DL165 G7's with 2x AMD Opteron™ 6128 (2.0GHz/8-core/12MB/115W) Processor's per host. I'm trying to figure out what I can do with these and make them useful. They don't have any RAM or HDD's so thats something I would have to purchase. Are they worth throwing a couple hundred a piece into? Thanks

Hi All A friend from work helps with a charity and they're wanting a new server for their site and she wondered if I could help, they're based in the UK so parts have been selected for that region. Basically they are set to use this commerce software and the following page lists the requirements (they need Tier 4): http://webhelp.monsooncommerce.com/GAR/Monsoon/Monsoon.htm#Monsoon-Pro/System-requirements/System-requirements.htm%3FTocPath%3DAbout%20your%20system|System%20Requirements|_____0 Using the details listed on the site, (which aren't great) it seems that a 3600 is the best CPU for their requirements, but no details on RAM speed, latency, storage space etc... I came up with a build here but it would be good for people to critique it and advise on alternatives/answer my direct questions as I don't have much experience on the server side. Build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Deuteronomy/saved/#view=Q2kfvK CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 According to the monsooncommerce site's link to passmark, is going to have the best performance for the lowest cost. It apparently unofficially supports unbuffered ECC memory, however Pcpartpicker doesn't list it as being compatible. Does anyone have experience with Ryzen 3rd gen and ECC? I think it should be used for a commerce site/server. CPU Cooler - stock CPU cooler MOBO - Asus PRIME B550-PLUS Solid board that apparently also supports ECC. RAM - Kingston 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-2666 CL19 Cheapest, reliable ECC DDR4 memory I could find. Would need 2 of these for the advised 32GB. SSD - Kingston A400 240 GB 2.5" Good, cheap SSD that should be able to handle the OS and the other system requirements and act as a cache for the HDD. They said enterprise is needed, would you suggest something else? HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Good, cheap HDD that I hope will be enough for them currently. I have no idea how much storage they require but additional ones could always be added. I would raid these together and get 2 to allow for redundancy, more if necessary with more complex raid arrays. They said enterprise is needed, would you suggest something else? GPU - Asus GeForce GT 710 2 GB Again, good and cheap. It is apparently something that is used in enterprise machines a lot and with having a passive cooler, should last a long time. The CPU doesn't have onboard memory so a cheap GPU would be needed as I don't think they will be remoting in. Case - Corsair 200R Cheap, good enough, comes with 2 fans, has a drive bay. PSU - Corsair TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Cheap, good, efficient, wanted good reliability, warranty and 80+gold, I doubt the modularity is necessary. Fans - ARCTIC F12 Silent 37 CFM 120 mm I always max out my fans for cooling but also due to allowing me to keep things relatively quiet. I think having more airflow is only going to help, but also include redundancy for other fans which makes sense for a server. We've asked the guy in charge for a few more details such as budget, if they know the storage required etc but this was the cheapest but reliable one I could come up with. Let me know your thoughts! Many thanks

Howdy folks! So i recently became the proud owner of this thing: That right there is a DELL PowerEdge R510 server. It's rocking dual 6-core Xeons and a total of 32GB's of ECC RAM. By today's standards, this really isn't anything impressive, but that's exactly why i got it. the Xeons in there are the 'L' variant, for low power! This is relevant because i have a 4U server running in the same rack 24/7 with dual 8-core Xeons 128GB RAM and a 2080Ti running on pretty much full load. This means my power bill is high enough as is. I got it on the cheap from someone who in turn got it from a datacenter where it got decommissioned. Anyway, it now lives happily in my rack! One problem tough: my rack lives right next to my desk. And this box is not made for silence. Nothing made for the enterprise ever really is. So yeah, guess it needs some fixes then! Inside this thing has a total of 5 80MM fans for primary cooling, along with redundant PSU's which both have a 40mm fan. the 80MM fans arn't actually all that bad. They're definitely audible at idle, but it's the PSU fans that really make the noise. under a heavy load the 80MM's also get to screaming tough. DELL uses proprietary connectors for all of them, but luckily the pinout is still just PWM. This means i should be able to just cut the connectors and solder them to normal 80MM PWM fans. The PSU's also use little 4-pin connectors. They kinda look like the connector you would find on some GPU's. Noctua actually makes some fans specifically for this. They have a couple of adapter cables included with them which should fit in this no poblemo. So yeah, that's all i got so far. I have 5 80MM Arctic F8 PWM fans and 2 Noctua NF-A4X20 FLX fans on order for this project, and we'll see if cooling is still adequate when i swap them in. One potential problem is the difference in RPM between the DELL OG fans and the Arctics. The Arctic fans only spin to a max of 2000RPM, which should mean they're nice and silent, but the server expects them to ramp up to 6500-7000RPM. This means i'll probbaly have to deal with a constant low-RPM warning. AFAIK this server doesn't really restrict anything with that warning going, but you never know untill you try i guess. The second potential problem is cooling. The original fans push a buttload of air, and the CFM of the Arctics doesn't even come close. The Noctua's in the PSU's should be fine i think. If it doesn't produce enough cooling for the CPU's, i guess i'll have to figure something out. I hear Alpacool makes some awesome 2U radiators anyway, that's it. Expect updates as the ordered parts come in.

Here at my enterprise company, we have a team of about 25 designers, each equipped with their own laptop to design kitchens using 2020 Design. For each of their renders, it takes 30+ minutes and disables them being able to work. We are looking at a potential offsite render farm which would run Quadro GV100s in each machine for maximum efficiency. We do not have interest in using a third party rendering hub and would like to know if anyone reading this has any possible ideas or solutions on how to configure, set up, or build this machine. If there are any software suggestions, please let me know in the comments below.

ADMIN: if this belongs in a different category, like photography, please move Here's the deal. I'm a HUGE photography and videography nerd who insists that everything's better in RAW because I get more flexibility in post. The downside? Massive file sizes and filled drives. Currently, I have a DAS solution within my computer, with two refurbished Hitachi 4TB drives (don't worry, I have an offline backup regularly made), mirrored in Windows Storage Spaces, for a total of 3.17TB after formatting. As you can imagine, my reason for using refurbished units is because of budget constraints. I can't afford new large capacity drives, like Seagate's enterprise capacity 10TB helium-filled drives or WD's Gold datacenter 10TB helium-filled drives, though that'd be awesome to have. The storage array is completely full, with no where to put anything else. With several large upcoming projects, including some jobs for major league sports teams (100-150GB per session), I'm worried about running out of space to put anything else. Here's where you and your (professional) input comes in. Would it be better to continue expanding in a DAS environment with larger capacity drives (I only have two 3.5in drive bays)? Which drives should I use? Would it be better for me to build an external DAS box using an older motherboard and SAS expander card? OR would it be better for me to switch over to a NAS environment with larger capacity drives? Again, which drives should I use? What software operating system would you use? What's the reliability in your opinion? OR should I start getting archive drives and storing material offline, only pulling those drives and installing them into an external interface when needed? Again, which drives would you recommend for offline storage to minimize data rot? How many drives would you mirror to protect from a frozen drive failure? Is there a better solution that you can think of? PLEASE let me know as soon as possible!

Not long ago, NVIDIA released an update to their end-user license agreement, and some of the additions to the agreement are rather alarming... From TechPowerUp: The recent addition can be found in the agreement which you have to accept before directly downloading GeForce-drivers from their site as the fourth point under section 2.1.3. I find it disturbing that NVIDIA feels like they have to prohibit usage in data centers just because they fail to offer enough value to their customers through their insanely expensive Quadro and Tesla cards. Are NVIDIA admitting here that their enterprise solutions aren't good enough/offer enough value compared to their "mainstream" alternatives?

My PC has an 8 TB hard drive, that has less than 1 TB free. I am planning to move my PC into a new case (a Fractal Design R6) and I figure that's as good a time as any to add more storage. I was thinking adding a 6 TB hard drive would do the trick. Looking on Newegg I discovered that the least expensive 6 TB hard drives are labeled as "Enterprise" drives. My understanding is that normally you wouldn't use an Enterprise drive in a desktop because they are engineered to work in a more rigorous server environment and thus more expensive. It would follow though that an Enterprise drive should work fine in a PC. Am I wrong? Newegg has a Seagate 6 TB Enterprise drive on sale for $94.50. https://www.newegg.com/seagate-st6000nm0034-6tb/p/N82E16822178526 There was an even cheaper one for $82, also Enterprise, but it said in the description it would not work in a personal computer. The one linked above does not say that (that I noticed) but does say the firmware is "maximized for Enterprise RAID systems." I do not plan to use a RAID configuration. They have a 6 TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive on sale for $112, but it is labeled refurbished. A hard drive is not the kind of product I would be comfortable buying refurbished. Is the $94.50 Seagate drive fine to add to a PC? If not should I reconsider a refurbished model? Or just resign myself to spending between $150 and $200? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi, Kinda new to the forums, Where should i post this kind of topic ? I am working on a way around being able to Block Windows 10 pro Store and Metro App's for Standard users and would love some help. This feature was removed and now only enterprise has this feature. (I know its not the most exciting thing in the world compared to Titan X's and stuff) Will add more Method Soon/Tommorow. Quick Version : Use a free application called "take ownership" and take ownership of the Metro/Windows Store folder and block Standard users from accessing the folder or reading or writing from the folder. (kinda works but still has kinks will go into more details when i have screenshots and such) Thanks Guys

I know this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but perhaps someone may have some insight for this. I have been tasked with creating a front end for an OSD deployment using MDT for Windows 10. They want the front end to create a Zero Touch experience at the physical machine. Orchestrator is currently out of the running due to a lack of subscription for this. A basic webpage with hooks to the MDT database is possible, but each machine needs to be added to a collection for SCCM. Any sysadmins around here tinker with Win 10 deployment yet with some thoughts on how to proceed?

Hello Everyone, So recently I have been wondering how to manage and upgrade a backup solution. I was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers. Lets say I have 50 clients on my network and we want to create a backup of all import documents. How would you go about this? Would you for example use Norton Desktop recovery on each individual client or perhaps even Windows Backup and save file to a network NAS? Or is there another way of handling backup, such as getting a server that will manage and append backups? If this is possible please elaborate or how and possible solution. Any advise or pointers would be great. -Swede

Hello guys, I just built my first PC (big personal satisfaction ) (details here if interested/relevant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HWjLHx )... But I'm now having a nightmare installing Windows 8.1 on it. I burned the free Windows 8.1 Enterprise .iso file from my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) onto a DVD, so that I could then proceed to redeeming the Windows 8.1 license I already have after having installed the free Enterprise OS on the PC. I also changed the boot priority in the UEFI-BIOS to the DVD drive. Nonetheless, every time I boot, I keep on getting the following message: Reeboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key Please help a new PC convert -- all I want to do is boot it up and get down to some serious gaming (after years as an Xbox 360 gamer... don't judge)!

A partnership between these two isn't as nutty as it sounds, Apple giving the ease of use know how to IBMs data centre skills to come up with apps for companies and even industries as a whole to improve consumer service across the board. So far, I don't see anything wrong that could come from a partnership like this. An example given was the airline one. We probably all hate flying, its laborious and can be a right pain the ass. What better way to streamline how customers get taken care of then with apps that plug into existing databases to actually allow your counter operators to do a better job, especially when most of the airline industry is still stuck in the 20th century in tech terms. http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/02/apple-ibm-partnership-sprouts-latest-set-of-apps-at-mobile-world-congress/
