Hi and thanks for your answer. First of all I will be going 10Gbit network all the way within not that long, but my initial thought is also that I am not going to gain much. Mostly due to the content and usage. I have a 120GB M.2 laying around, which I probably will stick in the NAS for tiering...

Hi guys, upgrading my home server with new storage (Q-NAP TS-832X), which has the option of adding M.2 storage for auto-tiering. A great feature but I'm wondering if it will surve any purpose at all in my scenario: The storage will 95 % be various multimedia content accessed by devices in my...

Difficult to find the most appropriate subforum here since my question is a mix of hardware, software & Internet connectivity/networking. Feel free to move to more appropriate forum if needed. General I work for a humanitarian organization/NGO with locations in 37 countries worldwide. A lot of...

Guess I will just strip it for RAM & SSD, sell them - then throw the d**n box out the window

Hey, yeah if either one (onboard VGA or with GFX card) was giving the error it would make sense that GFX card or onboard VGA is damaged. Both giving same error, even after CMOS reset, is just confusing. Quite frankly I'm just going through all the hardware I don't need to sell it to save up...

Hi and thanks for your reply. I have rebooted the computer many, many times without graphic card installed and VGA connected, still 2 4 error. The computer behaves exactly the same with or without graphic card installed. I even reset bios with CMOS chip after having removed graphics card, which...

anyone?

Finally got around to testing this with no luck. Tested the following: -Removed CMOS, held power button to drain power, waited 1 minute or so and put it back in. Did several times -Removed RAM, tried starting with only 1 ram chip. Tried both chips -Tried to insert graphic card in another slot...

That is an EXCELLENT idea, I am gonna give it a go asap and report back. Thanks.

Hi and thanks for the answer. But is there no way around this? I mean, I would have to order the correct cable on Ebay and wait for weeks for asian mail to come through just to be able to access the BIOS :/ I thought BIOS would auto-enable onboard card once I removed the low profile graphics...

Hey guys, I have an Optiplex 980 which I digged up to sell and I had an extra graphics card in the computer. I don't have the exact model of the graphics card here right now, but the thing is that these low profile cards come with a special DVI-looking plug which requires a cable that splits...

Hi again guys, I was planning on doing as drtweak suggested, but been quite busy and I didn't think there was any major rush since these were warning and the disk status was "optimal". I did see a second warning around 1 week later, and it was like this for 1+ week until I checked in again and...

hi and thanks for your reply. That's the thing, I don't see any errors myself, although running the offline tests on another box while server is powered down is a brilliant idea. Will keep thread updated. Thanks!

Hi you brilliant guys & girls, would much appreciate some input on this. I recently spent a vast amount of money rigging a new homeserver with the following relevant specs: -Adaptec 71605 RAID controller -14 x 6TB Western Digital Red disks (RAID6) -Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter OS My issue is that...

Hi, I have 2 different windows based computers I'd like to find suitable software that will automatically copy new- & modified files to my external backup HDD when I connect it. I only want the job to run when I connect the backup HDD. No worries if I need to manually start the job as long as...
