  1. I have four 3x5 SATA drive cages I am no longer using.

     

    1 - One x iStarUSA - Model - BPU-350SATA-BLACK - $80

    2 - One x Icy Dock - Similar to the MB155SP-B unit, except this is an older model, uses 3 x Molex power connectors. - $80

    3 - Two x Supermicro - Model - CSE-M35T-1B - $100 each

     

    Each units includes all their drive sleds, screws for the hard drives and mounting screws.

     

    I am willing to ship, I'm on the west coast of BC, buyer pays shipping. If you want all four I will ship for free.

  2. I added a 2.5Gb NIC to the server today. I switch Eth0 (onboard) and Eth1 (new one) so the 2.5 would be primary, setup DNS and then port down on the onboard as that is now unplugged.

     

    Now when I go into VM Manager, my one Win 10 VM has no networking options. They are gone and when started, has no networking. Hopefully someone can help sort out what happened here and how I can add the NIC back into the VM.

     

    Thanks!

    Well I am back in the thread. My setup is still working well with temperatures apart from summer.

    I have to stick a fan in front of the server to keep it cool, which is ok but not ideal, expecially when going away. 

    I get a lot of drives going above 45C without the fan trick.
    I am tempted to replace the two big fans at the back, but I only want them to go full speed in summer, so I guess I am looking for a manual speed regulator instead of a fan that senses case temperature. 
    Any suggestions?


    Fan control, I'd recommend https://getfancontrol.com/ as a good way to control fans and ramp them up when needed based on temps. Here is a video on how to do a lot fo the setup and config - 

     

     

  4. I have 4 of these units I no longer need. All 4 are the red version. One unit has what I believe from my limited testing, a single drive slot dead. But, it may work, I didn't do a lot of testing. You can see it marked in one of the pictures.

     

    I've included a little baggy in each that has the mounting screws I used.

     

    http://www.istarusa.com/en/istarusa/products.php?model=BPN-DE350SS

     

    Price is $140 CAD each, $115 CAD for the unit with one bad slot. If you buy all 4, I'll do $475 CAD. I'm located near Barrie, Ontario, Canada for local meetup, but can ship. Contact me to work out logistics.

    Do you have another you could replace it with? Then you could try preclearing it again to see if those pending sectors would get reallocated.

     

    Yes I do, so do the normal routine to replace the drive. After replacement drive rebuilds and array back to normal, I add it back in, anything special I need to do considering it would have been part of the array previously?

     

  6. Recently replaced a 3TB with 8TB drive. Drive was precleared, all good. After rebuild, I started moving data from another small drive onto it and errors re: Current Pending Sector and Offline Uncorrectable popped up.

    I stopped the disk copy, ran a smart extended disk test which came up ok. Started copying some data again, no errors but seems very slow. Wondering if this disk is going?

    If someone could take a look and let me know. Anything to worry about with those to options sitting at 16? Don't seem to be increasing.

  7. Just a question on moving all the folders from one disk to another. I saw another post on the intelligence of File Manager, wanting to move like directories between disks, keep things the same. I've gone into Disk17, selected all the root folders and then click Move. Target, I choose Disk1 and it's automatically adding in "backups" to the path, the first folder from Disk17, which also is one Disk1. 

    I assume at this point I need to manually edit this and remove the "backups/" portion to copy everything to the root, otherwise it would copy everything from Disk17 to the "backups" folder on Disk1. Or... is it just not displaying properly and all the root folders on Disk17 will be copied to the root of Disk1? It's just showing me "backups" as that is first folder?

  8. Was helping my son design and 3D print an external drive cage solution for some testing and no longer need the hardware. I have 2 x LSI 9201-16E cards. These are 4 port, 16 drive drive cards for external connection, in IT mode. I bought 2 to have one spare. :) Also have 4 x of the cable connecters, SFF-8088 (mini sas) to 4 x SATA. Cards and cables worked fine.

    Can ship if willing to cover.

    Looking for $250 for everything.

    Has anyone tried the newer iStar ISTAR BPN-DE350HD 5-in-3 cages yet? 
    I'm curious on the build quality and if the fans needs to be replaced.

    Appreciate any feedback before buying 4 of these.
    I've been using Icy Dock for YEARS now, but wanted to try something new (more silent, better cooling, etc.)

     

    I have used that one, similar to all the others, good build quality. I just not a big fan of trayless as the drives are a bit loose in the cage. I've had more drive issues with trayless cages than any others.

    As for the fan, unfortunately I cannot recall if you can swap it. There is a speed selector for it and it is a standard 80mm size, so there is that. You might just have to solder if it's a custom connector on the PCB.
