I actually already have an lsi hba in my old windows server that I can use in this one now. I couldn't remove it until transferring all my data between servers though, so I'd need a second hba if I only had 4 sata ports on the w680. And I just figured it was preferable to not spend the extra...

I have a program that I use for work, and I need to use a batch file to run numerous iterations of the same model file. I'm sure nobody here has ever even heard of this program. It is called MDX, and it is used to design and analyze bridges (I'm a structural engineer). There are 2 files...

I built this server as a replacement for a windows based plex server that was using a 2060ko to transcode. Yeah, the 2060ko worked fine, but I was trying to build my ideal plex server this time around, so I didn't want a dedicated gpu. The igpu is slightly faster than the dgpu in my experience...

It really all came down to the cpu, or more specifically the integrated gpu. This server is primarily a plex media server. Intel QS is the gold standard in hardware transcoding for plex, beating virtually any dedicated gpu on the market. So this build was centered around using an Intel chip with...

I don't know how unraid handles ecc errors or what the w680 bios settings look like. The latter can presumably be looked up online. I may be able to get feedback on the unraid part.

I have no issue taking the system offline in the event of an uncorrectable memory error. I just need to know that theres a memory error. If ecc memory gets me clear notifications of memory errors, then maybe I should just switch.

So if I am understanding you correctly, the ecc will actually stop the system from running if a dual bit or multi-bit error occurs. Is that correct? Is that by design, or is that just a high probability based on the nature of dual/multi bit errors? Another question I had was about types of ecc...

Thanks. I dont know about the error reporting in unraid, and that's what concerns me. When my stick failed, I had no crashes or any major process failures that I could tell. Everything was still running, but some things were acting weird. The logs didn't say memory failure or anything obvious...

I'm not an expert with computers by any means, and the only thing I know about ecc memory is that it has an extra chip that's used to correct errors. Having said that, does this error correcting feature of ecc ram also provide protection in the event of a ram stick failure? As in, is there a...

I understand there's a performance hit with only 1 stick. I'm only planning to run a parity check, so it doesn't even matter. Just wanted to make sure there were no ill effects. Finding matching timings is probably going to be difficult, so if that's a deal breaker than I guess I can't run 2...

I'm in the process of RMAing a bad 32gb g skill ripjaws ddr5 stick that I just pulled out of the packaging a little over a month ago. I keep seeing g skill come up when people talk about memory failures, so it seems they're having some major QC issues as of late.

I recently built an unraid server with an asrock z790 board, 12700k, and 2x32 g skill ddr5 sticks. I ran everything stock - no OC, no XMP, no tweaking anything at all in the bios. This past weekend I started having some major issues with the server while out of town. Ran memtest on both sticks...

Does it scan both sides simultaneously, or does it auto-refeed and scan both sides 1 page at a time?

Ah I see. I didn't realize that you could really get any kind of advanced functionality through third party software. I just went into PDF XChange Editor, and it can do manual interweaving and reverse-interweaving. I tested it out with 2 sheets, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 front to back. The...

I don't mind having to manually flip the stack, but I don't even see an option for interweaving sheets. There's absolutely no mention of anything related to 2-sided scanning in the settings menus. This weekend I had to do it manually in PDF XChange Editor. That's fine for like 5-10 sheets...
