The onboard RAID is implemented with the Marvell SATA controller. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports AHCI or RAID 0-1-10 no cache.

Netlist is an OEM that sells to system integrators, so no support or warranty, but I have had good luck with their memory over the years.

No. The latest BIOS is free as it addresses CPU vulnerabilities. All other downloads do not require a warranty.

A buddy , who is not into tech stuff, was in the same position. He manually unplugged his xbox 360 from his tv when he played a dvd. He thanked me profusely when i gave him an hdmi extension cable so he didnt have to reach behind to swap Like others have said. Check the used market. Lots of usable hdmi equipped recievers are being replaced because we want the latest hdr compatiple hdmi equipped sets

I'm not really sure where to post this question. This forum seemed the best I could find, but if it should be somewhere else, please forgive me for putting it here. Here's the situation. I used to have an excellent sound system by Onyko. I loved that system. It has 4 HDMI ports, which worked out well, because I could plug in a Blu-ray player, my Roku and a VHS player/recorder (yes, I've got one of those). And still had a spare HDMI, if I needed it. Well, after a good 10 years service, my Onyko finally gave out. And at the moment I just can't afford the replacement Onyko system. However, we really do need something Right now I've got a Vizio TV with only 2 HDMI ports, which hurts us a lot. We do have a fairly large collection of VHS tapes of some of our favorite shows, such as classic Doctor Who. If you've ever priced the cost of a Doctor Who DVD of the classic series (assuming its available on DVD or Blu-ray) you know they come at a premium price. Again, it just isn't something I can afford. Right now we're having to do a lot of finagling in order to try to watch something and often not able to watch what we want to watch. I thought about a Samsung system which is more in my price range (Samsung HW-R60C 41.7" 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer) which I saw at Costco. However, I couldn't see the back of it. I talked to a guy there, but he couldn't move it. He said it doesn't have a HDMI port, but does have some other sort of cable that the TV is supposed to plug into. Sounds like it would certainly improve the sound, which is good and would be appreciated, but that's about it. Assuming it would even work with my Vizio TV. Bottom line, anything that cost me $500 it out of the question. Even $400 is not within my budget. $300 is as high as I can go. What options are there?

"Local HP Disk" means you use the onboard B120i controller for RAID. If you want to see the disks as in your example you need to switch to AHCI

The M.2 slots on the DS1019+ are NVMe/PCIe. Documentation does not list the number of PCIe lanes per slot: https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS1019%2B&category=m2_ssd_internal&filter_type=M.2 NVMe SSD&p=1

Then you likely have a ML110 Gen9. Can you confirm? https://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c04605708-5.pdf For the four drives you currently have are they in swappable bays or mounted in the case? Swappable drive bay options are documented starting on page 13 in the user guide listed above. For the cable you asked about, ebay tends to be the best place to find those. This is a good guide as well. Drive bay topics start on page 28: https://content.etilize.com/User-Manual/1033728312.pdf

Just in case anyone has this problem, the solution was to install the latest Broadcom drivers - I used this https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=cn7mv&oscode=ws19l&productcode=poweredge-r430 and I am now down to around 2-3% cpu at idle. No idea why the Broadcom NX1 driver (cp031155) from the hpe site had such high cpu. -Jim

I have an X3421 Gen10 Microserver w/ stock 8GB RAM running Windows Server 2019 Eval. I did the standard install, then added HyperV and container support. This isn't part of a domain - nothing is set up beyond the initial install and normal Windows updates. The boot disk is an MX500 SSD attached to SATA5 with 2 4TB 3.5" drives in the cage. I was seeing ~20% CPU utilization for the SYSTEM process and ~22% for SYSTEM INTERRUPTS. I tracked that down to the vEthernet device. When I uninstalled HyperV and removed the vEthernet device it dropped down to ~12.5% CPU for SYSTEM and ~2.5% CPU for SYSTEM INTERRUPTS. Note that this is looking at the task manager performance tab. If I right click on SYSTEM and select Go To Details it shows SYSTEM taking about 6% CPU and SYSTEM INTERRUPTS taking about 2%. I don't know what causes this discrepancy. Running LatencyMon (for about a 30 second run) shows Highest measused time: 343 Highest reported ISR time: 33.8 (storport.sys) Highest reported DPC time: 212.3 (ndis.sys) Total hard page fault: 26 I'm not sure how to track down the source of the SYSTEM process CPU usage. I don't see anything unusual in the event logs. Truthfully I'm more concerned about the SYSTEM CPU usage, but both seem high to me for a server that is basically just sitting there. Is there something strange going on or is this just the cost of running Server 2019 on a relatively low performance CPU? This server is replacing Home Server 2011 on a MediaSmart EX495 and idle CPU on that was about 3-5%. I have installed bios ZA10A360, chipset driver WS2012R2_W8_1, AMD Chipset Graphic Driver 17.1.1, and the Broadcom NX1 driver (cp031155) - all from the HP site. Not sure what else to try. Is this normal for Server 2019 with no load? Thanks in advance for any advice, -Jim

I finally got to the bottom of this problem. I had 1-to-3 power splitter cable in between the PSU and the drive cage. I had this splitter so I could power additional hard drive in the cdrom space. I removed the splitter cable and for the past 3 weeks it has been running reliably. Thanks schoondoggy for the guidance, it really helped me here.

GOOD NEWS! - The flash went WELL! Red light of death has GONE and system now boots! I'll have to do a write up!
