My nForce4 Mobo doesn't see my WD10EACS harddrive

Hey All, I just bought three Western Digital 1TB Green drives, model WD10EACS. For some reason my computer does not notice that they are plugged in when I connect directly to my motherboard SATA controllers (details about my computer are in my sig.). I can access them using a usb enclosure...

Good RAID 5 Solution

I mean an external enclosure using eSATA. I intended to say image, I want to be able to make periodic images.

Good RAID 5 Solution

I think FreeNAS would be more my speed. I see that it supports RAID 1, 0 and 5. Does it allow you to mirror drive images to external devices?

Good RAID 5 Solution

Well, 1Gbps is the theoretical speed, I know the actual is significantly less. Especially given that the bandwidth would have to be shared if others were accessing it. Of course, my current mobo (the one that I could make the NAS with) has 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports... that would be nice to use...

Good RAID 5 Solution

Taltamir, Just to be sure I understand, are you suggesting that my solution should be: Desktop: 250GB Boot drive (2 drives in RAID 1 using RAID built into my mobo) NAS (connected via Gigabit Ethernet): Software RAID 4x500GB RAID 5 for data 1.5TB drive 3x500GB RAID 5 for data 1TB...

Good RAID 5 Solution

QuixoticOne, I appreciate the excellent post. I think if I explain my reasoning for RAID, that may help everyone here help me to arrive at a good solution. 1. I have a lot of data I want to protect, I do a lot of video editing and the files are large and precious 2. I had a close call...

PCI-express Hardware RAID 1 ONLY

I am growing a bit weary of the expense and relative complexity involved with RAID 5 solutions. Is there a PCI-express card out there that has multiple pairs of ports, the function of which is purely mirroring? I want to have pairs of ports that I know will do nothing but store the same...

Good RAID 5 Solution

If possible, I would like some suggestions for hardware RAID, just so I can get a good comparison. I would want this card to run the following two configurations at the same time: Storage1: RAID 5; 4x500GB Storage2: RAID 5; 3x500GB P.S. A lot of these hardware RAID solutions mention...

1333MHz FSB Proc with DDR2 1066 -- What Happens?

I'm currently debating between the Q6600 and the E8500. I think I like the Asus P5Q-e motherboard, but I want to get some affordable RAM. Since I'm planning to get 2x2GB of DDR2-1066, I'm curious; what would that due to the clock speed / multiplier for the E8500 (since it has a native FSB of...

Good RAID 5 Solution

Could you describe some software RAID solutions? Are you talking something that is built into the mobo? I was considering the Asus P5Q-E: http://www.asus.com/products.a...l1=3&l2=11&l3=709&l4=0 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...ntel-_-ASUS-_-13131296 I was thinking about it some more...

Good RAID 5 Solution

I am planning to upgrade my computer, mainly so that I can get solid storage solution. I currently own 8 500GB hard drives and want to use those in my machine in some form of RAID, probably RAID 5 with 4 drives a piece. I then want to use two single 1.5TB hard drives external to the system...
