  • Do you have a link to the driver? I can’t see one that big on the Realtek site (but I didn’t look that hard). I found one from Intel that’s 663mb and a Dell one that’s 285mb. Both are still pretty big. I downloaded the Intel one and it looks like there are many different drivers in there, but not 600mb worth, the big parts are part of Intel smart sound technology.






  • I’ve got a HP DL360 g9 running Ubuntu server lts and ZFS on Linux with 8× 1.2tb 10k disks, and an external enclosure (connected by external SAS) with 8× 2tb (3.5" sata) disks. The 1.2tb disks are in a ZFS raid10 array which has all our personal and shared documents, photos, etc The 2tb disks are in a raidz6 and stores larger files.

    It uses a stupid amount of power though (mainly the 10k disks) so it’s going to be replaced this year with something newer, not sure what that will look like yet.
