[10GbE Intel 1700 Motherboards]

Hi everyone,

After 5 years with a Dell R510, I'm ready to move on due to high power bills. I'm looking for a setup that includes a modern Intel i3/i5 processor and a 10Gb LAN port.

 

I'm considering two options:

1. Buying a motherboard with an integrated 10Gb LAN port, which costs around $340.
2. Opting for a regular motherboard priced at about $140 and adding a separate 10Gb NIC for an additional $50.

 

I've read that some NICs can cause compatibility issues with motherboards, potentially affecting power-saving states like lower C states.

 

I'd appreciate any insights or recommendations on whether to go for an integrated solution or a separate NIC, especially in terms of power efficiency and compatibility.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

I installed the Backblaze docker from tessypowder and I cannot see my shares or drives inside Backblaze. Am I supposed to map my shares somewhere in the settings?

When I try to check the Z drive on the attached screenshot, I get "Backblaze could not create a read-writable '.bzvol' directory on that drive."

I'm at a loss on how to backup my media storage on the array.

Any thoughts?
