Hard Drive Activity LED from SuperMicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8

Yeah in my old NAS I had a couple 3x5.25-to-4x3.5 drive cages and they had activity LEDs that lit up on them, but the case I bought this time has all internal 3.5" drive bays so no drive cages. Oh well. Thanks guys.

Hard Drive Activity LED from SuperMicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8

I'm building a new home NAS with 8x 10TB WD Red drives hooked up to a SuperMicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8. I've read online that it is able to show hard drive activity but the cables are not included, and I can't find any other information about it... Does anybody know about this HBA card and how I could...

Help me find a "near" ultrabook

Well, the "what I want in stock" is really the essence of my thread here... Inspiron, XPS, Yoga, an Asus? I've gone into Best Buy many times and their in-stock selection is horrible, so I don't know which models from each brand meet the criteria in my OP. I've never owned an Asus, and with...

Help me find a "near" ultrabook

For me the mechanical drive is what I want. I've never been much of a fan of the Alienware brand, but I'll give them a look. Thanks.

Help me find a "near" ultrabook

Can anybody recommend me any bang-for-buck good, light laptops that don't already have an SSD in them?

Help me find a "near" ultrabook

Okay, no worries on the CPU. I will take a 2C/4T. Will just have to research which ones come with what GPU. Any suggestions on specific models to look at? I am totally unfamiliar with the consumer models each of these brands offers that are actually worth considering. (Other than the XPS 13, I...

Help me find a "near" ultrabook

I'm trying to find a "near"-Ultrabook. I think my requirements below will explain what I mean by that. I want compact, light, good screen, and customizability. I'll try to be specific so it's easier to give recommendations and guide me to what I want. Must Haves Screen: 14", no bigger Screen...

Data Storage Plan Feedback + Some Questions

For a hot-swappable 2.5"/3.5" SATA port, you should give the Rosewill Blackhawk case a look. It has a SATA port/dock built into the top of the case, and it's so damn convenient, I use it all the time -- for backups, repairs, whatever. As long as it, or another case with a similar feature, is...

Moving save game (Injustice) to new phone (VZW Android)

I'm on Verizon. My Galaxy Nexus was my first smart phone, have had it for over 2 years. Recently upgraded to the new S5, and am at my wits end trying to get my Injustice save game transferred over to the S5. I've been reading and experimenting and nothing is working. Since the VZW S5 is not...

I forgot to answer your specific questions... - Should I get a hardware firewall? Any router is inherently a firewall, unless you buy some super cheap piece of junk. If you need advanced features, then you'll know you need something more than a good consumer level router. The Asus RT-N66U is...

First, your LAN and your WAN are separate, so worry about them separately. Speaking to the LAN side of things, my ideal when we get around to buying a house (we're still renting) will be to have a central wiring closet. The ethernet cable(s) from each room of the house would be a straight run...
