Does it even matter? They only asked if it would support 18TBs. And now you've gone down this rabbit hole? jeez.

I have moved twice since and what I am doing has changed remarkibly over the last 10 years. Hence speficially mentioning downsizing, not really sure why I am being told I did the wrong thing, I specifically wanted high IOPS to start with. I have included some more info above but I want to...

Please tell me what poor choices I made based on the above?

I am planning on downsizing my NAS unit which is currently a 24 bay server with 16x 8tb drives and 8x 3tb. This is running Free/TrueNAS so disks are pretty much spun up at all times. Server runs a few jails etc (sabnzbd, syncthing, sonarr etc) and would like to run these if possible on the new...

I would expect the NAS unit itself needs to support this though so its not a definate...

In some setups you can get 2Gbps from 2 links, MPIO/Multipath etc. So if this is being used for VM with iSCSI etc you'll get it.

Jeez, thought it said 2020. Though I probably would have done it still because its funnier. Was trying to find an old post on the Google.

....hello.

No reason why not - its a bit overkill really. Could run it virtually with other things...

You're talking about the cable itself - there are a lot more of them cables in the wild than HP Microservers - there is a much higher chance of seeing reports of incidents like this online but they will be a much smaller % of online posts. If you are unsure, test them for excessive...

Where is this that they're setting on fire? Why would it be special? I have always run mine in this configuration, obviously its still anecdotal, but im sure this is pretty much the norm.

Have you looked here? http://n40l.wikia.com/wiki/Memory I cant remember what I have, but at the time it would cost you £100 but I looked recently and its much cheaper to get now.

Push the DisableOSUpgrade and that other registry key, I do this as well as the GPO (in the new admx) option because I really do not trust Microsoft. If you're really paranoid look at aegis script or something to pull that. Actually you don't need to give that software/user admin rights to...

Take care with using such large disks in RAID5, since you have more chance of a failed rebuild as the size increases. This is worse on hardware controllers that can sometimes give up entirely as soon as it fails to read from another drive, software tends to carry on leaving you with most the...

This assumes all your guests can be shutdown softly via guest tools or acpi.

Well having a bunch of HDDs out of your main machine gives you more choice when you come to upgrade that. No need anymore for boards with loads of sata ports, might even get away with a smaller motherboard and case. Simplies your install, can use smaller psus (or your current rating will last...

Got mine the other day, within a week. My previous was pretty fast too. Give them a call, or send it again (recorded?) whats a £ or so for 100.

I don't like the whole "heat up the whole house regardless" mentality :p I have induvidual digital TRVs though so I technically have zones in each room, but I still keep it off until we feel the need.

We use a small heater just to heat the room we are in a bit if it feels cold and wear a jumper. Still opening the bedroom windows at night, but close them up in the day. Got a small server in our little study atm which warms it up pretty nicely rather than the utility room it usually sits in.

I just bought one last week baz :)
