anyone have any good figures for 8 ssd's on the 1880 in raid-6 mode? Just picked up some of the intel 520's (240gb version / 25% OP) but am wondering if I'm running into card's checksum limit and...

Well the storage array is a general repository for a lot of my own (and family archival) images,film,video,etc though the majority is my own. Then general storage for pretty much whatever, tech...

Actually, bridge is a database (uses mysql), I have LR 4.1, but find that it's pretty useless at least in my workflow when I have to deal with hundreds of thousands of images. I see that LR is...

Actually for photo/image/media organization, Bridge (comes w/ Photoshop) is actually pretty good. W/ CS6 it's 64bit (finally) which is good for large images (I have a lot of medium and large format...

Well, with your comment on not coding, it gets harder. Most can be handled by logical breakups in structure (good file system(s) structured approach) for example creating different file systems or...

Yeah, bing & thefind.com both are not filtering as far as i can tell. Don't know about others but as bearcatrp mentioned it's probably long overdue to search out other engines.

@Russian- Thanks for that! there's not many reviews for high resolution displays. I would be interested to see how the minimum/average frame rates increase in crossfire/sli on that size of a...

;) so was your Q. calculating cpu time is a hard job, but from your response you were looking for specific loop time? (if so, xor.c is what you're looking for) If you're looking for other data in...

@johnw-real world tests are from custom programs and data scrubs where I'm accessing through the file system to modify TB's of large files, sythetics I'm mainly using xdd, iozone, and similar. As...

@rkagerer no problem. As for drives (assuming you haven't bought them yet) one of the biggest items I run into here is with drives that do NOT support time limited error recovery (or early error...

RAID-6 is still very cpu (calculation) intensive. I guess it depends on what speeds you are looking at. Trying to push through GB/s+ speeds is /very/ intensive especially, like I mentioned when...

Yes, ZFS is a bit more complicated especially if you're not used to *nix type systems. There is no 'best' solution everything has issues it's whether or not the issues affect your deployment. ...

Well, a couple comments I would make would be:
- If write performance is important you would want to make that into several smaller raid-6's (write performance is limited to a little under that...

I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. Saw the same announcement but I've seen a lot of similar ones over the past decade to no real avail. If anything it may be a laptop/tablet display...

Nice rack, i really like that you can disassemble it (makes it easier to get it where you want it, wish my 25U here was like that). Though some points, that glass front is usually kind of bad for...

The main production use is to act as a file server (10's of thousands of slide images up to 1GB each+ revisions) and vmware guest vmx location. Secondarily, I use it to validate some scalability...

Now that's friggen cool. :) That's exactly what I'm looking for here. Where to sell my kidneys?

How's the colour accuracy on the unit, do you have any calibration utilities (spyder, ione;...

Actually it's full (rack & drive bays), the first U you can't really see as it's a switch and mounted backwards, that's going to be pulled out and put on top to add in a 10bay/1U (2.5" sas) HP...

5GB/s? Can you give the platform, where the cards are located, QPI & bios tweaks if any you had to set, etc? I've only been able to get >~4.5 when using ram disks. If that's two cards that's...

Have any of you found a controller that can do > 2.4GB/s or better a system that is capable of > ~4.5GB/s? Basically that's what I'm trying to break through (on westmere/ dual IOH SM X8DTH-6F)....

@fugger- do you have ssd's for that or rotating rust? Would be interested in seeing how well the promise could 1) saturate the link; and 2) how well they implemented the raid (5/6) on there. ...

don't know if this qualifies?

127007

Main home storage array. only ~224TB currently though.

Just out of curiosity are you guys doing this with MHDD or similar (cutting the drive/changing the MaxLBA) or is this something else with a custom firmware? The handful of SSD's here I've just cut...

Well the crystal ball is not so clear here, but PCIe v2.1 spec requires 150W per 16x slot. So assuming asus built the motherboard to spec you should have 150W for each slot (assuming your psu is...

Yes, from the manual, You can only have 4 cards installed if you want 16x to all of them. The cards must be in PCIe slots 1,3,5,7 (nothing in slots 2,4,6). (page 38, section 2-18). Also since...
