    LSI RAID-5 to RAID-6 conversion?

    i had about the same but with 2TB drives and the 9260-8i and no bbu. but i did have a ups. obviously my dataset was smaller so YMMV but i had no issues at all. just took a bit. i did mine "online" while booted into my windows server as opposed to the web-bios of the card

    Megaraid Storage Manage (MSM) Online Capacity Expansion: How?

    well of course it will be slow during the rebuild. i dont know why on earth you would want to bench the array while a rebuild is in process lol.

    Supermicro X8SIL-F and Raid Card problem

    have you made sure that the raid card is actually working? i guess you can try putting it in another system to see if it is recognized and not faulty. or you can boot to a live cd of some sorts

    Router: Looking for a SOHO / high-ish-end consumer router

    i can also say that the asus rt-n16 is a good option. i have it running with dd-wrt mega build. easy to get that setup. i have a media server hooked up via gigE and constantly get bout ~110-115mB/s transfers. as stated before since you already have a switch, no need to spend more for an 8 port...

    Supermicro X8SIL-F and Raid Card problem

    are you trying to install 2008r2 to the raid itself? if so i cant help on that as i dont know. i used to have this same exact card and when i booted up the server, it would show a prompt or key combination to get into its bios. as for setting up the raid, you can do that within the OS with the...

    Oh shiz...6TB of data gone. Replacement RAID?

    Samsung F4's 2TB

    it depends on the firmware version/manufacture date. but in my opinion just go ahead and download the firmware update and update your f4 2tb drives firmware. you need to boot into dos (i used http://www.freedos.org/ to get into dos, boot from cd) then all you need to do is run the f4eg.exe file...

    Best 2tb Raid5 disk

    I would recommend you still check the firmware version just in case, font want it to bite you in the ass later. well they shouldn't be too loud for starters as they are lower rpm than most drives. the sound of my case fans completely covers the small sound the hard drives make. sorry :(

    Recommend a NIC.

    I have this exact card along with the dual port server version. I am consistently getting speeds between 100-107 mB/s via ftp between my main rig and my storage server. the intel cards cannot be beat performance wise. especially the one you linked for that price.

    hot? SAMSUNG P2770HD 27" LCD+TV tuner 290

    these monitors are great. i have 2 of these side by side. only gripe is that one remote controls both of them, so to change inputs on a single monitor while side by side, you really have to angle it to avoid the second monitor changing at the same time
