Only thing that doesn't make sense is the location of th fan intake for a server rack. Stack a bunch of gear on top of it's self and you don't have any flow.
All the positive points are in this video with none eof the detractors, like the exernal GPU probably can't be more than a 1080, because of power constraints. It seems like they have everything you need, except support.
I got mine in Febuary, running Proxmox with PFsense and PiHole. Only issue i have had was when trying to use a 10gig DAC cable to my Epyc proxmox server and NAS.
Here in 2024, I'm contemplating one of these, with the i5-9500T, as a general office machine, with Windows 11, 365, Teams, Zoom etc. Is that still a good idea?
Hi - Can the default IP address be changed on this hasivo s1100wp-8xgt-se? My cable router is 10.0.x.x and I want to have all devices on the network at 10.0.x.x
Many companies are happy to spend on 'cool', just look at Apple's range of products. Including Windows Home rather than Pro does seem to be sending mixed messages about who this is aimed at - and for any company environment such a poor message may be more important than the purchase price.
I tried searching for a Lincstation N1 review on your channel but didn't see it, considering it's only ~$400 and you can get 4TB M.2 NVMe SSDs for about $230 nowadays and it comes with UNRAID I went with that for my personal use, all in all I have an 8TB NAS with 2 parity drives (4x4TB drives) for just under $1400. I know I didn't need two parity drives but... I'm paranoid when it comes to data loss. Also, still waiting to populate the 2x2.5" SSD slots (2.5" being so much slower but the same price as M.2 NVMe drives of similar size irks me). Part of me thinks I should've gone full blown 1U server but the other part of me knows that if I did that I'd wind up spending a lot more probably.
What would be the cheapest /low power config for /pc/mini pc to get 10g via rj45 (connected to a router with 10g).. Just the cheapest computer to get 10g ? Any suggestions ? (thinking about mac mini but they still are expensive and mac is something i'd like to avoid). Not a super fancy pc, just one with 10g and can exploit it easily, No gaming etc on the pc.
I've got a question about the TRENDnet TEG-S762, and also broadly about 10G ports. So I'm looking at upgrading Google Fiber to either 5GB or 8GB but for that particular switch he mentioned that it does not support 5GbaseT so does that mean if I were to have Google Fiber at 5GB and even if it were input and output through both of the 10G ports, it would be bottlenecked to 2.5G? and if 5GB internet is bottlenecked what about 8GB? Do 10G ports generally support slower networks than the port like 5GB or if the internet isn't 10G would it go down to 2.5G or the net best supported rate?
Broad question: Say I'm upgrading google fiber to 8GB and I want to get the most out of that on two workstations. If I were to buy a switch that had two 10G ports and four 2.5G ports, the cable from my google router would have to use one of those 10G ports as input right? Therefor I'd only have one more 10G for a single workstation? Would running my google router cable into the 2.5G ports bottle neck the rest of the hardwires that are connected to the 10G as outputs?
I won’t touch anything Asus with a 10 foot pole. You should look into their business practices. Most other creators have blacklisted them due to their actions and reputation.
I have one of the passive versions on my desk right now burning in before turning it into a new Proxmox host that will run OPNsense for my WAN edge, along with a couple utility VMs (e.g. PiHole, Unifi controller, etc). I would suggest *AVOIDING* "Nemix RAM" from Newegg. I bought 2x 32GB ECC sticks in a kit from them; both of them are throwing ECC errors in Passmark Memtest. The sticks appear to have Micron chips on them, but something isn't right... I have a pair of actual Crucial/Micron sticks coming direct from them soon and plan on returning the Nemix stuff for a refund.
Can you run this system just on the microchip and have it wake up the CPU when needed? that would be interesting - but also has a bunch of redundant systems like for networking
the fan appears to be on the bottom of the unit, right? how does that work? - USUALLY with rack mount configurations (even the 2 unit configuration shown on this video), you're right up against the top of the server below... so how do you get airflow to that fan? - wouldn't it make more sense to do a front to back airflow (like most servers) or a side to side airflow (like most switches)? I'm afraid that if i buy this, i'm going to kill it by not having enough airflow to feed the cpu fan. is this concern warranted? I currently have the fanless version running pfsense to run my network (firewalling and routing between 4 10g vlans with a 4 port 10g sfp+ lagg to my netgear 10g base-t switch (that happens to have 4 sfp+ ports) and I was seriously considering selling it and picking up one or two of these 1u units instead. what do ya'll think?
Hi, is there anyway you can do a review on the UM PRO 890 with the built in occulink and show currently the best portable eGPU's out there for review??
I love your channel. But as soon as I see it comes from China, I must give it a hard "NO". Please always reflect the country of origin early on. (I know you bring up the country of origin in this review, but only as a side note when talking about the power supply) I also know you test for backdoors to see where traffic goes. I applaud this. But there is such a thing as "sleeper devices" that turn on once they receive a specially crafted packet. Also, do you perform one-year reviews of these devices to make sure this behavior has not changed over time? If things continue to escalate, there may be an incentive to turn on these sleeper devices.
For comparison, the Cisco Firepower FPR-1010 device runs on a 4 core Atom C3558 with 8Gb DDR4, 200Gb SATA SSD, and 8+1 1Gbps NICs (4x X553, 1x I211), so this device is more than capable to be a robust, enterprise grade firewall. Not for a datacenter, though, but for remote offices it can withstand a lot of abuse.
It's the same motherboard as the fanless one, I bought the fanless couple weeks before its own review and when they released the 1U unit, I asked them if I could buy the case/PSU combo, which they did sell me, I just had to move the motherboard over to the other case ! Haven't soldered the leads of the PSU though, still using the barrel plug unit...
I've noticed that this swich (PoE version_ is trunking my VLANs (that are comming from Unifi Router). Devices with other subnet are no longer accessibe. Both on dumb and managed setting. Do you have any mitigation for this?
Im looking for a SSD/NVME NAS with 25GB SFP connections. The NAS needs to have a high level of redundancy/backup for critical data. It should be about 20TB in size. Wondering where I can find some sort of comparison tool or utility which will help me locate something like this?
Of course a later CPU might be nice, but the one piece missing is a real BMC. To put these anywhere, an out of band management interface would make this so competitive!
I just want to make sure that I understand the wrap up about those 10gb ports. I would want to use this as my main firewall running opnsense and an Omada controller LXC inside Proxmox connected to my 10gb core switch. Am I right in understanding that I can't connect these 10gb ports to the switch?
I wonder if you could cram all that hardware into a 2u but half width device. That'd make a good fanned version for people who don't have a rack (easier to fit on a bookshelf or whatever) or put in a coupler to still mount two of them in a full width 2u space. Also maybe a bigger (and user replaceable) fan.
