All stock bar the k&n panel filter Legacy Donating Member 8,061 Member For: 14y 4m 22d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 23/05/19 11:36 AM Posted 23/05/19 11:36 AM Since I'm running Stablebit Drivepool on my server PC it's been trying to unload the drive it picked up as starting to fail, but my other drives were full... so I effectively had no storage left on my server... lame. Ended up buying a couple of WD Red 10TB drives and a Pcie sata controller and jamming them in this evening. Not really how I'd planned on spending $1,000 at this point in time...but at least I can claim it on tax for uni and work, so there's that. 3

Last one was an Exchange server - rebuilt perfectly. It lets me sleep at night. 1

Breeny Member 88 Member For: 13y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 29/05/19 01:47 AM Posted 29/05/19 01:47 AM Used to use Exetel back in the day - seems to be reasonably priced at the moment. Their support is...well, do-it-yourself. Not sure if that's changed. I'd swap over, but for some reason Telstra(HFC) is giving me 80Mbps+ speeds on a 40Mbps plan and I don't want to loose that for an extra $10 a month
