      Your unofficial software RAID? 😉

      I'm not sure I understand?

      XenServer doesn't support software RAID. Xen does, XenServer does not.

      Oh, yes I knew that. This is a personal server where I didn't have a RAID card so I just set it up with the MD utility on XenServer. I know it isn't officially supported. Been working fairly well so far though.

      The motherboard doesn't even support RAID without a cache or anything?

        Very few do. Very, very few. I don't actually know of any server except for SuperMicro that does that and it is only a handful of their models.

          No, not in the least, it is a whitebox I had lying around with a decent processor in it. I know MD RAID has a really good reputation when compared to motherboard RAID though so I didn't even think about it. I know the whole do IT at home thing @scottalanmiller talks about. I just don't have the budget to be running a full-fledged server in my house right now. Would that I could, my whitebox is maxed out at 16GB of RAM and it is becoming a bit of a pain.

            Is it actually a true server. I don't run my home server VM hosts from true server due to noise. They are all one Desktop machines with extra Intel Nics added.

              MD is enterprise RAID, used in some massive systems and in many NAS and SAN devices too. In a case like there where XS doesn't support MD, maybe I'd take a motherboard hardware controller if one was available if it was mirrored RAID. But I can't think of a single server that I'd be likely to run across that could do it.

                  No - well sorta. nasty wreck on i-75 near the office.. had some issues getting around it to get home ... okay yes I was playing Ingress also.. so i wasn't really in a hurry to get home. But the acccident was at 2, and it was still backed up 6 hours later....

                  I don't know if you can say I leave,.. I just change locations.. 😄

                    Brand New HP Officejet Pro 8620 set up and tested. Will drop 2 printers and a desktop out of the network and to the give away, donate, recycle, sell, use as a target pile....

                    Just need to figure out what else I want to try to do this weekend... hmm.. As little as possible if I can get away with it.

                            Just got home from Kansas, showered, and doing laundry. Trying to stay awake until I can put it in the dryer.

                                  Don't worry you want have to worry about 256-QAM and it's constellation or error vector magnitude for a installation of a couple of APs.

                                  Do you even have devices with an 802.11AC to make use of it?

                                    I don't care about the AC part of it as much as the seriously increased range you get even with N with an AC router. A buddy of mine has one and just wow...he has a Netgear Nighthawk...

                                      But no, no AC adapters or anything at this point...

                                        That's likely due to the annentas. Not that's its 802.11n. 2.4 will have the same range whether 802.11g or n. Its the nature of RF. 5ghz will have much less due to shorter wavelength

                                            Possible, as the Nighthawk series has some beastly antennas. My current router has no physical antennas.
