I was looking at some WD 4TB drives and I came across one of their "blue" line models that was 4TB but also had 8GB of NAND Flash. The model is called "WD Blue SSHD" - desktop hard drive - 5400prm, SATA 6Gbps, 64MB cache - 3yr warranty - model WD40E31X with an astonishing price tag of $300 -390...
Well I have to admit that the failure rate of HDD vs SDD is MUCH lower as over the last 20+ SDD's I've had I've had a failure rate of over 40% in 3weeks to 16 months, and they weren't cheap drives (except 2 of them). I did find that buying high priced drives seems to be the best choice when it...
I don't want anything bigger than 4TB ATM. Too much data to loose should one go bad. Are you talking about using (4) qty 8TB drives?
i guess I might consider (2) 4TB drives if I can run a good RAID 1 array. I can then use a backup 4TB to back up that array, but at this point it is getting...
I have been using 4TB Red's for about 4 years and have been EXTREMELY happy with them. 2 of them are in a NAS that gets little use, but when it does, it is very reliable and fast enough for my needs. I got a 3rd and placed it in my main desktop as a all purpose storage drive. It seems...
Yeah, that sounds pretty much what I'm looking for. Is there any benefit to passing it all through a computer, like a proxy, placed in-line on the WAN side of the router (I'm guessing with full Duplex dual NIC's may not be necessary).
I would be using Linux for this in any case. I just want...
I know that it is possible to sniff networks with a single connection but I'm wondering if it is possible to use 2 network cards on a computer and have all the data flow through it, basically like a router, but have it retain all the data in a searchable format like tcpdump or wireshark.
Can...
I agree with you on the signal integrity part. But here is the question, if these external cases are available for $500-$8,000, and are connected via a cable, I would think that a good cable (lower/thicker gauge & shielded) carrying the signal data should be able to get past the 8-12" limit. I...
I see that risers can be purchased for fairly little $$ and can be up to about 15" - they are available in all 4 speeds.
I also see external pci-e expansion cases which are a pci-e card with a port on the back, cable, and external case. These are like $400-$1,000 for a single port!
Since...
I seem to remember that most laptop batteries come with some type of removeable plastic sticker type thing that is to be removed from the connection tabs once the unit is purchased. This essentially keeps the battery "out of contact" with the machine which allows it to last longer.
I'm wondering if I can mount drives on a Linux VM that bypass the ESXi hypervisor. Basically I don't want to run the vmfs on my new RAID array so that I can transfer these drives to another machine w/o ESXi on it.
I want my Linux VM to be able to recognize the array without it being added as...
I was curious if the server license is transeferable to new owners. If it is, does it have to be sold with the server or can it be separated? I'm interested in 2008, 2008 R2 & 2003. Also can the CAL's be transferred with the machine?
