    The data on Page 2 was achieved with SSDs and RAID 5 only.

    D'OH! I tried that but obviously did not pull enough. I should probably install the card first. :)

    It's the DA cable version. I don't want to mangle it. I figured 2m cable should be enough.

    I put the SFP+ cable all the way to end of the hole, but it does not come out again. Is there some special removal technique?

    How do you get it so fast? Mainly I'd like to know if you get similar to Page 2 performance with hard drives in RAID6.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    It charges with a 500mA input (well 540). I also need to find the manual, since none is provided. :( Preliminary results are that the F1 charges at 1A, but output only stayed at 1A for a portion of the battery discharge and then the voltage started to sag unacceptably.

    Are these as good as the 8TB He8? Price is about the same.

    I don't see the X520 listed, but it's an older adapter that seems to be in the compatibility list of several other NAS units so I can still use it if the FreeNAS does not work out.

    I will put a few drives in the one computers to use as NAS and then get two 10GbE adapters to see if the performance is reasonable from that to the main computer. 520 DA2 is ok?

    It looks like the NAS I have uses the same Annapurina CPU. Sometimes it is slow, but I'm not sure how much is bottlenecked by the 1GbE. This would be a better backup than the one I have.

    Most office lighting is 4100K, but I know your workplace is a bit odd. There is one woman at work who has the 3000K tubes in her office by some demand. I like 3000K for the bedroom as the color looks more like normal light bulb illumination and is better for sleeping. I don't like sleeping...

    I suppose in the NYC street lighting is more important due to the vast numbers of pedestrians. I'm normally not walking at night, but driving. Some of the rental cars have old-fashioned halogen headlights, so I notice the street lighting more then.

    Thanks. It must be a new model. I can't find any transfer rate specs, but isn't that Armenian CPU too slow for RAID 6 and 10GbE, or does a weak CPU mainly affect IOPs?

    7200rpm SAS 4kn Drives Being Comparable to 10K rpm Drives.

    It sounds like BS to me too. There are typically a few very specific use cases where one can find any product to be better than another. They just ignore the other 98% of cases where the 10K is better until marketing to the buyers of the 10K drives. :)

    The site will not allow me to place an order for that part, so either give them a call on Monday or look elsewhere. Maybe it's a long shot, but is there a possibility the part was part of any recall?

    Are you seriously expecting the price for a legitimate part to be so low compared to other sources unless it's pulled from junkyard?

    The electronics are built into the base of the "bulb." Terralux ad others makes several models for various Maglites. I've seen one in a 5-cell and it was quite bright, but modern flashlights are brighter, have specifically designed reflectors, and are easier to manage. My understanding is...

    I downloaded the FreeNAS, but it is an ISO file. Would I need to buy a blank CD and an external USB drive to boot from? :( I could probably hang an internal optical drive somewhere temporarily, but this is not a good start and it's been years since I worked with the discs.

    Really, LR's mind? The problem with LR is that it forces use of that awful database (previews, catalog) and can't be used to work in folders without the entire process. Other image processing software has both database and standalone modes so it can easily be done. Abode is just like many...

    My point is that it will not be problem in actual operation with any chargers that will typically be used. I've been in four states in three days and did not have a chance to get the chargers.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    Well, no functioning PS should output less than 500mA and one would generally use a >1A charger. I'm thinking of getting one as a USP for 5V systems although I don't know if they operate continuously or need a restart after reaching full charge.

    NAS Drive

    I was thinking about 8 x 6TB drives at minimum since the 8TB 7200 RPM versions are pricey. How much difference does 5400 RPM make compared to 7200 RPM or is the number of drives more important than the speed?

    Apparently the IRS is after me and criminal charges have been filed. At first I freaked out, but they are a scam. Then they called back and said the police were coming to arrest me. The bastards should all f'ing die from the most terrible disease. :cursin:
