That 18-50 equivalent is more interesting if nothing else for the uniqueness.

Another earthquake? :crap: What happened to your RX100 II?

Anybody use the barfts files? It seems better than ext4, similar to the zfs.

Thanks, but that is all a bit too much effort to be worthwhile for me. I would just install the FreeNAD directly to see if the software was feasible. Meanwhile I'm hoping Synology will have a replacement for the 2015xs soon but am not counting on it.

There are numerous cheap flashes like Yongnuo if that is what you are looking at. Lighting technique is one of the most difficult photographic skills to master.

Somehow I thought there was some special hardware involved with the NAS. Not too many years ago any software based RAID system was considered to be undesirable. I suppose the Armenian processors in the cell phones are faster than our P4 desktops back were in the day. :lol: After the...

Was the camera released in the last three years? Is the sensor at least APS-C sized? Is there a Sony or Nikon logo on it? :D

You want the largest possible sensor (so-called 1") such as in the Sony RX100 series for good IQ.

I'd really like a 200-500/4 DO with a built-in 1.4x. :D

There has only been one Canon 50/1.4 EF lens ever. It has a funky type of micro USM that really isn't a normal USM and tends to fail. If you are planning to stay with EF-S (1.6x crop) Canon, take a look at the newer Sigma Art lenses for DC. Canon has essentially abandoned high end EF-S lenses...

I'm more interested in the 600/4 DO which Canon claims is in development. The 1000/5.6 DO may or may not ever be produced, but it would be later and quite expensive, essentially an institutional lens.

Now maybe I'm missing something, but what is the point of the software based RAID over the NAS?

Not really any that would accept the controller I suspect. Speaking of which, what RAID card is needed?

There are various cleaning kits, but I send bodies in nowadays. I had a bad experience some years ago and the sensor needed to be replaced. The modern Canon DSLR sensors don't get so dirty with the built-in sensor glass vibrator. Can you take the camera to a local Nikon shop?

I would only use good, new equipment and have to find a space-efficient case with the drive bays. Now I have some timed results for a relatively simple task. In a folder with 2000 RAW files (124GB), the times for thumbs to fully display in BB are NAS=301 sec., Hitachi 6TB 7200RPM NAS...

I remember when those goofy things first appeared. The demo on tensile strength isn't particularly relevant either.

I was hoping to spend only $2K without disks, but may reconsider. Ideally I could get 3-4 years of usage out of a system.

If I understand correctly a NAS could die and the drives can be transplanted to another one relatively easily. Building a computer is very time consuming for me, especially the OS BS that keeps changing. A NAS should be smaller and easier to ship around the country too.

Most of the files are 30-600MB, but I have a few 60GB files also. I am the only user. I don't have hard data on the importance of latency, for example when opening a folder of 5000 RAW files with DPP etc. and waiting for the large thumbnails to populate. I'll do a bit of comparisons with...

That would be possible, but there are many pitfalls and a lot of time would be required as I am a novice in that area. Still it could be a learning experience.

Thanks, but what should I buy then with 10 GbE to get at least 250MB/sec transfer rates in RAID 6?

How exactly does that open anything?

Is there excessive exposed blubber?

Thanks. I still can't decide on a primary NAS. I like the Syunoly software and it is nice to use but the QNAP seem to have worse reviews and more complaints. :(

I never had a NAS, but it seems that the fans would wear out and dust accumulate. Ideally the NAS would turn off when the computer is off, but it's only a minor annoyance.

The whole damned internet insecure and so are the bowsers. You need plausible deniability!

Well I want it to be small and light. 30g is enough. ;)

The Nitecore F1 FlexBank is an interesting device for both charging the cell and providing 1A USB output from it.

Oh I see. There are some in there for the NAS and nothing else. I changed the PW again to no avail. Is the NAS is powered up, the password is not lost when the computer is rebooted, but if the computer is on and the NAS is rebooted, the password is lost. Doesn't that mean the NAS is the problem?

I cannot find it. Maybe it's a Win 10 feature?

7 Pro. Meanwhile somehow my post for Something Random migrated to this thread. :(

It's pretty low on the Rotten Onions and other meta review sites.

I remember seeing that at the time. It certainly has a lot of memorable lines. :rofl: Debbi: Duke, let's go do some crimes. Duke: Yeah. Let's go get sushi and not pay. Miller: The more you drive, the less intelligent you are. The whole scene about John Wayne was ridicluous as well.

Are you moving the house to frozen tundra, Alaska or something?

The NAS password is lost every time it reboots. Rebooting the computer has no effect. Is that normal? It is annoying, because one must log into the NADS to power it down.

Maybe the Androids are causing problems, but it is Merc's greeting card.

No, 90 degrees out of phase. The laser is aimed upwards.

The horse keeps rotating to the wrong orientation. It's strange.

Tooth falling apart. Why today?:(

It's those damned aliens.

My NAD indicates EXT4 so I suppose it's normal.

I'd use a "D820" for wildlife as much as possible and use a D7200 for reach only when needed. Likewise I'd use a D5 in low light and other specific situations.

The drive contents sure are strange after NAS usage.

I have one and it is rather oddly noisy. I'm concerned that an octo-RAD would be terrible. :(

What about modern drives; is the 6TB NASD any good?

Oh well. I'm not really up on the hardware, but it makes sense. I wonder how long PCIe will remain compatible.

Do any mainstream PCs still provide PCI Slots? The vendor claims that the facility should buy a new instrument, but I think it is BS. It's only 120K but the delay will put my dept in red on the Gantt. Thanks.

Thanks. I understand correctly, during the repairing activity the normal drives are all being read and the new drive is fully being written. 16.5 hours is not too much longer than the time required to write a full 8TB drive directly.

It completed successfully after 16.5 hours. I'm not clear on whether that checks all disks completely or only the data.

After a 4:1 or 5:1 zoom range the compromises become more severe in FX lenses. There are high-zoom range lenses for video like the Canon XJ100X9.3B, but they are over 50 lbs., over $100,000, and don't cover a 43mm circle.
