    It's just a patent. A 28-560 would be a different lens, not a replacement. I do think there will be a new 28-300 or similar. Some PJ and wildlife shooters love that lens for the versatility. Obviously a 2004 lens could benefit from a full optical and mechanical redesign. A D820 or...

    NAS Drive

    It's the drive not for NAS, so that was pretty obvious. ;) The NAS beeped incessantly with a different drive installed. I had to disable the beep and start the rebuild manually from the web interface. The Repairing (Checking parity consistency...) is at 11% after about 100 minutes.

    New 8TB drive from Toshiba

    Unless it has some special technology I expect that drive to have a rather high platter count and be warm running without the helium.

    NAS Drive

    I've almost completed backing up data to the RAID, but now realize that one of the wrong drives is in the array. :crap: Party consistency is now at 95%. I assume that and the copying should finish before I replace the drive. Then it will take a few days to rebuild if I understand correctly.

    NAS Drive

    I tried eSATA drives and internal RAIDs some years ago, but it was a cluster for the most part. I like the idea that the NAS can run independently of the computers so I could access it from either one. For now I will try to give the Sinology a really hard workout and use it as the backup...

    Anandtech reviews the USB-C Seagate 8tb bus powered drive wth SMR

    USB C, ha! It takes over 24 hours to fill the Seagate archival drive on USB or direct SATA. I just happen to be using one today. The write speeds are all over the place by an order of magnitude. It has to be the slowest drive overall that I've used in over a decade. If I were the CougTek, I...

    NAS Drive

    Thanks. I'll check into it for the future. I would probably get the 8-bay model and use the RAID 6. With the drives and card it would be about $4K.

    NAS Drive

    I don't want a RAID in the computer. I would need 10 bgE for primary data. It sucks saving to the NAS at 100MBs.

    Are there any good NASes with the 10GbE that don't cost and arm and a leg?

    So a faster sytem would run at the full hard drive speed, 10-15 hours?

    NAS Drive

    It is the DS1515 which is newer and rated for the 8TB drives. Link aggregation will not be useful in my case.

    NAS Drive

    This is my first experience with the NAD, so I'm starting with using it for the backup of 4-5 main data drives. It's rather slow due to the GbE, so I don't see much purpose for this type of unit for primary data. I'll keep the normal backup drives for a while until I'm confident this thing is...

    NAS Drive

    I finally bought a basic NAS and some drives. Should the drives be fully tested separately outside of the device or does the NAS do that? Thanks.

    SmartSync Pro continually reports a CRC error when trying to copy one particular file from a 4TB portable drive. SMART (C5) warns that Current Pending Sector=24. The stupid drive is practically new with only 139 hours on it. :mad:

    Best movie you've seen

    I finally saw the Deadpool. It was unpleasant and sad, not at all what I expected. The main character really needed medical attention and psychiatric treatment.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    Why does it use AA cells? It seems that one 18650 would be about the same voltage as 3 AA cells but with less size and weight. Technically NiMH cells can go in the checked luggage unlike Li-ion, but I've been called out for them several times. :(

    My time is very short and the only one I could receive this weekend was the bare light with a store bundle of several items including the 2300 Nitecore. I have numerous 18650 batteries, but the highest capacity are the Eagletec and Olight 3400mAH. Eagletec does not make contact in some...

    The color of mine is slightly yellow on the white ceiling, though not terrible like some lights. The CRI is probably not very high. I doubt there are any options in that type of light.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    It sucks to remove the battery every time and also have lower capacity. I'd rather use a regular 18650 and a single-cell XTAR USB charger in that case.

    I just received the MH20GT. I had the older MH20, but the beam was rather wide. The GT is quite bright and reasonably concentrated (33,000 cd) for such a small light (<140g w/18650). Mainly this will be for travel where the USB charging is also a major advantage. I'm using the Olight...

    Why can't the Li-ion batteries be swapped? Are they not 1860? 64Hz seems slow and perhaps will cause the seizures or embolism. :)

    Yeah, that's rather ridiculous. I get the feeling the product is nowhere near being finalized, but I suppose the Kickstand programs are often like that. Is that Tang associated with the manufacturer or just being a Richard?
