This pisses me off more than when the cops pulled me over and impounded my car due to a RMV error!

JUMP......THE.... SHARK!


Star Wars was a fantastic contribution to humanity. This on the...

This "cloud" argument simply doesn't hold water in a lot of circumstances. It would take me months to upload my 20 odd TB of data to "the cloud" and then I'd have to wait an eternity again every time...

Yeah, I'm thinking that all of the people having Firefox crash must be those 100 + tab folks. I have been using it since it was still Mozilla and have always been pretty happy. I don't recall the...

These guys seem to be all bark, no bite. All I hear about them these days are claims of things they are going to do.

They are acting like children. If they're going to do it... then just F'ing do...

Generally XS is the slowest site I visit. Recently it's been so slow that when I click on a link I proceed to browse several other sites before coming back.

PITA

Benchmarks or real world usage?

Jeez. These SandForce drives really suck, huh? Do they have anything going for them over any other SSD aside from marketing?

WTF? Is this all the BD news is? Talk of international currency?

I looked in on this thread to see if there was any update. :rolleyes:

A separate filesystem on separate hardware.

If you don't care about having a backup why even bother with RAID? If you don't care use RAID 0 to pool your drives, gain speed and be able to utilize...

For domestic use unless you are talking about huge numbers of drives I personally think RAID 5 is fine. If 2 drives die you just restore from your backup. You have a backup.... right?

Get multiple controllers and use ZFS?

Uhhh.... all video is "lossy". I don't understand what you mean? It's not film, it's digital video and will never be the same as film. I imagine that the majority of the trash that Hollywood is...

@ Compouturd, I'm not even sure what you're getting at. It doesn't seem like he's even really interested in data protection at all since he was talking about RAID 0. Do you mean to say that with...

Sure!

FlexRAID has two distinct functions which operate independently of each other: RAID like parity generation and drive pooling. You can use one or both. So for example, you could keep the way...

For a parity drive you need one that is at least as large as your largest drive. But remember, you don't need to use the parity functionality. You could just use it to pool your drives.

FlexRAID will make all of your drives appear as one drive. And if you desire it gives you the ability to designate one or more drives for parity for RAID 5 - 6 like fault tolerance. You can also use...

FlexRAID?

Amen! My Q6600 is still plugging along @ 3.6 as it has been since day 1 when they first came out. I occasionally think about upgrading but... what for? Honestly the difference I experienced between...

Well, I finally got it all sorted out. It appears as though the diagram I have been using for several years now shows an incorrect pattern for A. WTF? I lost hours on this. I now have everything...

I am in the process of moving and networking my new house. I have all of the wall plates in place and all of the keystone jacks terminated but for some reason I am unable to get any of the cables to...

When I was young I thought tricking out a car was really cool. I started as a kid by making a 200 hp motor for my 69 VW bus. Everything was machined to the limits. Then I started working on the 70's...

Difficult to read and things are either squashed or spread out.

You upgraded from a HDD?

Why not just put you OS on a SSD?

You might want to look at FlexRAID. It will allow you to grow and the price is just right. You could also do something like freenas but there you ability to expand is limited compared to FlexRAID.
