We haven't actually seen that in the last several years. In 2011, the price for a reasonable Sandy Bridge Xeon and board was around $400. Open box deals aside, those prices remain approximately the same today, and the performance of the most recent CPU's is only incrementally faster.

By way of comparison, if you took a system from four years BEFORE 2011 (that'd be 2007), we'd note that it has lots of problems and issues. Intel Kentsfield Xeon X3230, no turbo boost, no hyperthreading, based on FSB, max 8GB RAM, no graphics option ...

We kinda hit nirvana around 2011 and from there it has only been incremental improvements. The only real places I expect to see significant improvement are in RAM (Xeon D is expected to allow registered, so that will boost memory to 128GB or more), and network (10Gbps standard).

try reinstalling the OS seems like you got a bad install?

 

[jgreco]

Yeah, agree, that seems consistent with possible corruption.

yeah sorry, it was the flashdrive, i used a another one an it work, now im in the gui getting this WARNING: Firmware version 15 does not match driver version 16 for /dev/mps0, if i remember correctly i needed to flash my Motherboard or something like that. Im doing a little bit more research on this

 

[jgreco]

Flash your HBA to phase 16 firmware. See the LSI sticky in the hardware forum.

 

[fvargasfrank]

Can it wait till i get all my stuff setup or do i need to upgrade right away ?

 

[jgreco]

In my experience, the difference between 15 and 16 is virtually nil. However, the safest course of action is to match the firmware phase to the driver phase and be done with it.

ok, i just want to set up my HDD and plex and then i will update, i will update in a couple of days. this is fun getting to know this new OS lol
