Thought it was a good deal for them, and a bad idea that they were going to handle it like a separate company. Bringing those patents in house gives the freedom to use them and unfortunately the nuclear defense arsenal backup for litigation return fire that seems necessary now. For the...

Looks like anandtech will review this router soon, they mentioned it in the airport extreme review. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4577/airport-extreme-5th-gen-and-time-capsule-4th-gen-review-faster-wifi-/9

Prick. Posted from my iPad with much love.

Mostly I wanted it for the work machine which has no USB3 but does have eSATA. Meh, not worth destroying a drive for it.

I just picked up another 120gb G2 drive to add to my system and replace the 80gb G2. Found that my super old copy of ghost does not align the partitions right for SSD. Fortunately the free copy of arconis that intel let's you download does a good job of alignment when moving to a new disk.

Gel cells really do fail in that 3-5 year band for UPS systems. No surprises here. As far as the shutting off feature, Emerson UPS systems don't do that.

Did not know that. I was thinking about cracking it open and using some esata cables with it too.

Just name server quit, it would still pass traffic that was resolved to an IP. Anything that needed a lookup would fail. It did it twice, each about 10 to 14 hours after reboot. Incidentally it only did that for the computer with the static IP address but at the same time that was the machine...

Oh and the reason I want to try another router is my suspicion that I have something in my network causing trouble with my company voip phone and laptop vpn connection. Both of those devices behaved exactly the same with this router so not a waste of time but it wasn't the fix for that either...

Well I had them in Nashua NH. Read on forums last night the firmware update available last month breaks the local USB storage option so I didn't update. Nothing newer released yet. I don't see any uptime or system logging. There is connection logging. I don't see a mention of RIP1or2...

I am fairly sure the disk I have is a 5400 RPM drive, both of the 1TB options on samsungs site for the 2 or 3 platter models are 5400 RPM unless I am missing something. Willing to bet this is the older 3 platter relatively tall 12mm height one.

Sounds good, where is local for you? I don't like how you can't count on things in all stores with Costco.

Well it's likely the three platter disk in it but after I formatted it with 4k clusters I was able to average over 100MB/s in shoving over 7GB of data. For some reason it performed worse before I formatted it but I didn't look at what it shipped with. Very quiet, I can't hear it right next to my...

Ah, the more efficient use of space thing is what I incorrectly remembered as a requirement for 3TB disks. Certainly helps anyway.

I thought that once you went to 3TB they had to be advanced format? I had to struggle to find another 2TB seagate non AF to match the 4 that I already had.

Well it says it supports 3TB drives on their site somewhere. I got it from amazon. It should be done with the backup mid morning to investigate the SATA issue. I'm thinking cabling over drivers but will check both.

In sanctum I think you hit tab or escape to get the 2d map.

My problem seems to be with the SATA connection on my server. I used the box with the desktop machine via a real eSATA port on the motherboard and reformatted it and it was fine. Threw a bunch of files at it, copied them, disconnected reconnected etc and it was fine. Took it to the server via...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MTYBHS Looks good to me. Apparently the drive in it is 5400RPM, wonder what it does sustained?

I have my ipad set to the quick setup option using imap and I don't see that the mail will push. Just tried it and it didn't. Specifically under the advanced account settings for push you can look at the gmail account and the two options are fetch and manual. Push works great on my iphone set...

Well thats not good to hear. When I get back I will load the tools from the disk and see what they say. But I'm thinking a good 90+% of these types of enclosures are never going to see raid qualified drives.

I ran a long test till about 75% which was like three hours and then I had things to do. I was hoping it would fail and I could send it in with the right failure code and get it replaced while I was out for the next two weeks. I'll do the long test and I guess if it passes I'll zero write it to...

Painkiller was pretty fun with ragdoll physics etc. I like the stake gun and whatever the blade/beam weapon is. Basically puts you up against a horde of things. It got a little old and didn't really seem to be repayable.

Even better multiplayer with three friends.

Check out Sanctum on steam, 75% off now. Up to 4 person tower defense in first person shooter style.

Well I guessed right and found disk 6 as confirmed by removing it and then starting the machine and looking at the boot configurator. Pulled the drive and seatools doesn't see anything wrong with it, but one odd thing is seatools sees TWO of these drives attached. Disk is attached to an eSATA...

This is what I am thinking the cable layout is, make sense?

I moved it to my win7 box and it sees the same thing with a little more info 9+tb RAW healthy primary partition. It sees the size as 9314gb.

Things were looking good. Yesterday I was able to transfer almost all the contents of my array over to this thing. Using fastcopy I saw write speeds around 160~220MB/s. All was well at the end of the day, I could read the stuff I put on the drive no problem. I was thinking I was all set and it...

Oh hey found one http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Portable-External-HX-MTA64DA-G32/dp/B004M96Z18/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1310217802&sr=8-2

Is that a standard connector on the drive? Doesn't look it. Amazon doesn't have any prime eligible. I may have impulse bought one if it wasn't for that. My third backup solutions is getting old and only 400gb PATA drive in an external enclosure.

That would be the trouble. It looks like the arbitrary 6 is a software member ID and not necessarily linked to a physical location either as witnessed above in my first post when I moved the cables around and you can see the member disks show up on another location. I think the most concrete...

Damnit Anyone know how to get this Dell/LSI utility to cough up a drive serial number?

So far: The setup was really easy, set the dip switches and it is ready to go. I think for RAID 3 or 5 it might have some initlization time. Does not appear to be a staggered startup in use, hopefully not a problem. The LED indicators next to the drives are super dim, because the LED is on...

Merc, you ever had a bad tape? In your opinion whats the lifetime of those things? I assume one bad tape destroys the whole backup?

I got an account with discount through work. It is something like 20-25% off air and 30+% off of ground for fedex. Think UPS has similar things, though not through our company. If you just create an account on their site you get a discount I think but I don't believe it is that good.

I know nothing about tapes for backup. Wiki says 800 GB each native and a "2:1" compression available? What if what you are backing up is already compressed? The real thing that breaks it for me is something like the Quantum Superloader library goes for around $3~4k. And that seems to handle...

Ah, some RTFM of the "detailed manual" provided on CD. Basic port multiplier Sounds like SPAN to me. Super paranoid mode! I'd post the manual but it is 11MB, has pictures of all the above. It has a motherboard compatibility list with southbridges listed and that goes all the way down to...

I think in the cities amazon has started alternate carriers, keep reading about that. I just started a prime membership trial and everything is coming UPS 2day. Also noticed that newegg eblast mail crap takes a couple days to shut off. Annoying.

My 5th disk should be here today. First complaint is the manual explains spanning, clone and the various levels of RAID. Manual fails to explain what the differences are between RAID 1 and clone are. But then on the device they allow you to select clean, large, clone and RAID 3,1,10 or 5. Not...

My dune just got a major software update, interface no longer looks fugly and they added widgets and applications too. Pretty happy they are still making it better rather than replacing it. http://dune-hd.com/firmware/hdbase3/

From what I read at intel the ICH9 and 10 with R and DO versions support port multiplier so I think I am good. http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/matrixstorage_sb.htm As this enclosure in theory presents as one big drive it may not even need that.

The bundled card is a Highpoint Rocketraid 622. I don't know why they would include an additional RAID controller. Reviews out there don't like it very much, I'm skipping this card. Even includes a half height bracket. http://www.highpoint-tech.com/usa_new/series_rr600.htm Otherwise the...

Casey Anthony innocent. Wow, didn't see that coming.

Using avast and MSE still.

I guess this would be one benefit from using an advanced format drive to boot from?

Never used it for something that big but do say 50MB files and smaller all the time with never a problem yet. They are mostly zips and I think that would let me know. Generally I do it over a LAN at work though.

Meh, going to take the easy way out http://www.sansdigital.com/towerraid-plus/tr5utbp.html http://www.amazon.com/Sans-Digital-TowerRAID-Hardware-TR5UT-BP/dp/B003YDZE0Q http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=16-111-145 Seems reviewers didn't like the included card, I won't be using it...

I am still very happy with fairpoint ADSL, formerly Verizon. Pretty good service and when I did have a problem got a free modem from them and a service visit on a Sunday. I think the only thing that would make me happier is when they roll out a faster speed like they say they might or if I...
