Had a massive data loss issue from last Fri night, fun times, luxuries like this had to be delayed, yet again, but thanks for sharing your progression, tuning in when I can!

Yeah, quite awkward/embarrassing, to my defence, a truckload has been going on in that time. The holy grail shall be mine.

No, bloody life, again. I won't make any promises or set any timeline. But I hope to get this all finished soon, when I do, I'll check-in here. Rgds, J 130am must sleep!

Well it took me bloody long enough, but I'm about to setup pfsense on this... I was going to run it atop a bare-metal hypervisor etc. But knowing me, carefully researching all of that & being 100% happy with my short-listed contenders, will be consuming enough in itself!* Plus, I have a...

I'm sad to hear about this, anyone aware of any other places on the net; That are nearly as good as SNB was, when it comes to all things networking? Esp. for NAS analysis? WiFi analysis still seems to be chugging along a bit, NAS not so much. Hopefully Brave's model (BAT) or some variant...

Tnx for addressing those final points I clarified in our private conversations thread @System Error Message Crucial RAM is now ordered.... I might order that Samsung SSD soon-ish, but will likely play with that Sandisk model I already own 1st. I'll worry about MODEMS (external/internal) & PCIe...

That time is approaching, sorry for the massive delay folks -so many competing priorities in life! :(:rolleyes::p:D https://www.ramcity.com.au/ram/ddr4/2666 https://www.ramcity.com.au/ram/ddr4/2400 AFAICT.... This...

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @sfx2000, recommendation for SSD duly noted! I don't suppose you please spare a few more mins to address this sub-point? And looking at the performance metrics of the SSD I'm using in the short-to-medium term (240GB version of this), do you anticipate any potential issues?

@System Error Message, @sfx2000, or Anyone, My bare-bones SuperMicro SYS-5019A-FTN4 arrived today, she's a beauty to behold! https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5019/SYS-5019A-FTN4.cfm Happy to take pics if folks want... :D This snippet of an exchange I had with an Aussie RAM dealer...

@System Error Message or Anyone, Unit already ordered, pickings/availability was slim, best place I could see for 5019A-FTN4 was newegg. At $873AUD (inc $75AUD postage) for just the barebones unit, it's bloody expensive & massive overkill, but ah well, you only live once. And as time goes on...

@System Error Message Oh I realise that.... :) Do these SM MB's typically have decent BIOS/UEFI settings for the tweaking of timings/latency & clock-speed etc, or are they usually very limited in that respect? If the latter, then I guess getting DDR4 2400Mhz ECC sticks that are "the best" in...

@sfx2000 @System Error Message or Anyone, Well other than SM & Lanner, I can't find any other ODMs that do C3558/3758, except for Aaeon, but they don't even have their competing model out yet AFAICT? It annoys me that the (not cheap!) SM unit doesn't seem to have PCIe 3.0 8x, whereas the...

Anyone else able to fully/partly address the OP? TY/BR

Thanks for the insights mate, tis appreciated... If only there was someone out there who's used both quite extensively.
