What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Waiting for lunch! Need to go to the post office and get 2 parcels posted, and got some leftovers from last night's Pasta Bake (enough for the rest of the week...) to scran!
-
And we have a dead drive in our RAID 5 Buffalo Terastation.... (4 x1TB) oh yah...
@scottalanmiller what are the odds buddy?
-
-
From a quick google search we have a 72% chance of successfully rebuilding....
Or a 28% chance of everything getting toasted...
-
That's a reasonable number. What kind of drives are they?
-
@scottalanmiller I'm not sure of what's in this unit, it's been in place longer than I've been here.
The boss is ordering a 4 bay Synology RS815+ and 4 Mushkin SSD's for over night to migrate everything too.
RAID 5 SSD.
Hopefully the stress of transferring off of this unit to this new one won't kill the system.
-
Ugh Happy Monday after Daylight Savings.....
-
It is really jarring waking up when it is light out for the last month... then today my alarm goes off when it is still dark outside.

Yeah - the cost of changing is definitely not worth it. Maybe it made 100 years ago when we were burning whale oil.. not so much today.

I've never heard of this brand - have you used them before?
Google turned up a hit about them having a 4 TB SSD for $500 at CES? Hot damn!

You've never heard of Mushkin or Synology? I really like Mushkin SSDs never have had an issue with them.

Nope. I have not.
Synology = yes I have. But only for enclosures, didn't know they made drives. -
@Dashrender Mushkin is a drive maker, Synology only makes enclosures.
-
This dual-drive solution will function as a single volume, but spanning drives isn't without its costs. Mushkin tells us to expect random read and write performance of about 10K IOPS.
Like 10K IOPs is so unusable. LOL
It's funny how barely mainstream SSDs are (yeah I know Scott's been using them for a decade already
) and if you don't have 70K+ they are practically asking why you bother. LOL -

OK now I went back and read the article. Not until this summer at the earliest... and it will be done is a JBOD fashion since the controller can't handle more than 2 TB.

I can't tell you how many times I've built gaming PC's for rich people's children and they insist on high capacity mechanical drives. I even tell them if you really want that buy a 256 GB SSD for the OS/Programs and use big mechanical drives for storage. They not only won't do it but also won't purchase higher capacity SSD's. It's crazy.

do they least buy 10,000 RPM drives..? Better than nothing...
OT: Just got back from lunch, sent two parcels weighing less than 2kg between them, one to Parents on a Scottish Island and one to the Fiancee in the Falklands...£20 to send them both

No but this reminds me of a client arguing with me over 7200 RPM vs. 5400-7200 RPM ranges. He wanted to buy WD Caviar Green and thought he would get the same performance for less. smh
You don't get Lamborghini quality for Honda Civic prices

I've been meaning to ask if anyone knew of a good 4TB SSD as that's exactly what I need for an update to my gaming rig. It has a 1TB internal spinner and I have added 2TB external and I've overrun it all and can't even begin to download everything that we have. Going to a single 4TB would use a lot less power, be more portable and use less power while storing things more efficiently. And then the speed, the current system takes five minutes to index the games every time that it starts!

I personally love OCZ's SSD's
