      Yep, reinitializing the RAID arrays right now. The SSDs were done in probably 20 seconds... the big drives are going to take a bit longer. I'm not sure why it was crashing yet, I narrowed it down the the RAID controller as it was performing wonderfully when I just had the SSDs hooked up. Right now going on 4 hours of no reboots with the RAID card installed in a different slot before it would reboot every 7-15 minutes.

      Yikes, PSU tested good?

        Wish I had a way to test it at the moment. Nothing on hand. Recommend any good testers?

          Epic facepalm.... http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/882798-raid-5-as-a-boot-drive

          Why is that under moderation? Were there a ton of posts that were removed? Also facepalm indeed.

          No idea. I posted asking that but, of course, was moderated so it didn't go up to find out.

              Mostly training and researching. the planned firewall is a bust due to hardware issues. pfSense wont run on it it would seem. I know I can fall back to a Ubiqiti Router,.. but I was hoping to use pfSense.

              Why not use the Ubiquiti? It's more powerful than the pfSense. I'd prefer it given the choice.

                It's interesting and good but, not more powerful. Pfsense has a lot more options and the ability to scale much larger than the EdgeRouters.

                  I am sure that I could go either way and be 'spot on' there are some things that I feel that I should do that the EdgeMax may not be able to do.

                  One thing is QoS for the phone, and then split the network, one side for the office, the other for the kids. I want to ensure that I don't get throttled due to their watching videos or Netflix.

                          In theory sure, it can scale huge if you are putting in on serious hardware. But who needs to scale past a GigE connection at home? It's like getting a Ferrari to drive around town - it's no faster than my Opal Corsa when the speed limit is 40kph.

                            These aren't just things it CAN do, they are features that they specialize in and specifically tout as strong points!

                                That would be great! I'd have no work day at all.

                                      Decent auto-ranging digital multimeter will test just about anything power related. Highly recommend, but using it is more involved (finding correct color for voltage, etc). After that, they have some time saving ATX cable testers you can get for cheap too (limited to ATX / whatever moulded cable ends it comes with - not future proof, not custom PSU connector compatible, also not server friendly in some cases.

                                      Any $40+ multimeter will do, if you can splurge get a Fluke (I would make sweet love to my Fluke, it's saved my life before, they're several hundred bucks.)

                                        I've got a decent multi-meter at the house. I will bring it in and see if I can't figure out how to confirm the correct voltages.

                                            Best to test it while it's under load (actually running the computer) as this will make it work hard, possibly showing the fault (ex: 12v rail reading 12v while no load, 10v under load)

                                            Cheat sheet:

                                            To get the PSU to power up you can jump two pins, forget what they are but this will help with that and testing. Use a junk psu first, play around with it.
