Is it me or is SuperMicro slipping a bit?

[Mirfster]

Just curious... While I don't use or own SuperMicro, I know that they are highly recommended here. But, I have to admit that lately I have seen a lot of posts where it boiled down to an issue on SuperMicro's part...

Not saying anything bad about them, but was wondering if I am incorrect in my recent observations?

/No need to breakout any pitchforks or ropes; I am just asking... :p

Haven't really seen that except for the x11 flux issue, but I'm admittedly not reading everything while on vacation.

And I will admit that I'm the cause of much of the X11 issues on this forum right now. This kind of stuff keeps me busy. It's nice to have instant gratification but then I'd have nothing to do once everything is working. Hopefully the flux issue isn't seen by many people but since it showed up in two countries, well I suspect it will show up for anyone paying attention to the condition of the board.

My guess is that Mirfster might also be thinking about this thread - https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/errors-during-file-transfer.41277/page-4#post-264093 The OP got a RMA for a SuperMicro A1SA7-2750F and is now having different problems with the replacement.

Yeah, not pinning the blame on JoeSchmuck. :) Will try to find other recent relevant ones as well. Doesn't IXSystems use SuperMicro boards as well? If so, there are a couple posts were they had to be RMA'd too.

Probably in the TrueNAS boxes, but IDK.

The current FreeNAS Mini (where some users have had recent problems), uses an Asrock mobo.

Doesn't IXSystems use SuperMicro boards as well? If so, there are a couple posts were they had to be RMA'd too.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. Maybe that is where I am getting skewed ideas then.
