Missing VMDK Files
Can anyone tell me how to recreate the vmware hard drive link vmdk files again please, for some reason I had to reset vmware and have restored the virtual machines but for some reasons the hard drive link vmdk files have been deleted, have tried recreating them in putty but the hard drives no longer appear.

Well, 4 years 7 months 10 days later (and near enough being constantly on from that point!), my N36L's PSU decided to go pop. Ended up having to bung an small ITX power supply in there and do some splicing of molex connectors to get it back again!
Has anyone gone to the trouble of replacing the PSU with an 'official' or otherwise and found anything that's reasonably priced? I've not scoured the interwebz very diligently at this point but they're looking to be £45+ which is putting it squarely in the buying a new gen 8 territory realistically.

Have you got the modded BIOS installed?
With that installed I used to have a 5 bay das connected to mine.
think I have. Just restarted the box with the DAS connected and on. Its picked up one of the drives now but not the other ummmm
Both my Gen8s have 4 drives in the bay and 5 SSD's in the top. (one in the SATA port, and 4 off the P410)
Running the official BIOS and no problems with eSATA, except obviously if I turn of my HDD dock I'll have to restart the server for windows to be able to see it. No big deal for me, sometimes I just leave it connected via USB.
Doesn't sound like the modded BIOS. The default BIOS allows a single drive to be connected to the eSATA port. The modded BIOS allows it to do port replication and therefore multiple drives via the one port.
Running the P222/512 here, just picked up some brackets while here in the states, means I can stick 4 2.5mm drives next to the PSU, need to look at getting more connectors as I have 2x2.5mm SSD's under the ODD, and a 2.5mm SSHD behind them, will move them all to the bracket.
Need to look at the new SKU's Heatsink and if I can get one to cool my 1260L but cant find any stock :/
I've got the Schoondoggy brackets as well. Only running the two additional drives though.

Quick question: Noticed in the Gen8 specs is says the maximum internal storage is 12GB (4 x 3TB). Is this true?
I was looking at upgrading to the Gen8 sometime this year and throw in 4 x 6TB (24TB).

That seems very unlikely. I have 16 TB (4 x 4 TB) in my N40L and my N54L.

Yeh that's what I thought but the data sheet shows that O.o
Might be able to get away with it on my N40L!

What size drives were available when the datasheet was published? They aren't going to list it as compatible with 4TB drives if they weren't available.
Probably only says that because that was the max drive size at the time, I have 3x4tb, 1x6tb, 1x500Gb and 2x256Gb in mine...
