So, I'm in the process of copying just over 5TB of data from one RAID-6 array to another. The copy is moving along at >300MB/sec. It's 12% done and FastCopy is informing me it will still take another 8 hours 36 minutes to complete the copy and do the verify. Who would have thought something...

Did you get a certificate of occupancy?

At least A-Data is still shipping the firmware mentioned in the article. Some of the others aren't.

Read this and then see what version they're up to since then.

I wouldn't buy that one. It's supposedly an A-Data and they're shipping a non production ready firmware (per SandForce). A-Data also doesn't have any firmware updates posted yet either and it's totally unknown if they will, and then if the A-Data firmware will work on the Microcenter drive.

Congrats! 8) ps: Where are the pictures? :scratch:

The local Nissan stealership wanted ~$1k from me to fix a bad MAF and change the "$25" air filter. :rofl: The part has a MSRP of ~$560, but it can be bought for ~$425 from other dealers. Swapping it out should be a 15 minute job. So, I guess they figure they should get $400+ in labor for 15...

If you wait a little while I'm sure you'll be able to get a 60GB SandForce from someone other than OCZ for ~$100.

Seems like it might be a bad wall wart. The switch started misbehaving pretty quickly after I loaded it up. I took a multimeter to the PCB and found the 12V input was bouncing around. I swapped the wall wart for the one I had from the GS105 and am testing again.

Whatever floats your boat... I personally hate project management.

Well, I opened it up. No sign of swollen caps. The main power supply cap is a Nichicon (Japanese) cap. I poked around inside it with a multimeter and nothing seems wrong. So, I plugged a bunch of stuff back into it to see if it would fail again under a "heavy" load and am now pumping as much...

Well, my 5 port Netgear GS105 is now misbehaving like the GS108 was. I guess need to open it up and see if it has bulged caps inside. I've been foiled by procrastination! :(

A System Engineer?!?!? RUN AWAY NOW!!! :rotfl: Seriously though I'd pay very close attention to how they describe the position and what the job entails. Based on my work experience a typical "system engineer" doesn't do much real engineering. They usually deal with documentation (writing...

A SATA or SAS controller is just the application / software running on the microcontroller on the storage device. Knowledge of the specific application is less important for a fresh out of school EE than an working understanding of how a microcontroller works and operates inside any real time...

Personally, I think you're headed somewhat down the wrong path. They're not really going to expect a recent college EE grad to have SAS or SATA experience. I'm not sure trying to learn it now is going to do you much good since your knowledge won't be very deep. They're more likely going to...

I guess they're making baby steps. They wouldn't want to rush into supporting >2TB drives now.

I put a 120GB Intel G2 SSD in my 11.6" CULV Acer 1810T notebook. It's not even close to being a netbook in terms of performance. It's got 4GB of DDR2, SU7300 (1.3gHz 3MB C2D), 1366x768 screen, gigabit ethernet, etc...

I think he'll tell him to buy a new laptop.

I'm not sure. The problem has gotten more sporadic which makes it hard to troubleshoot. I've been so busy at work I haven't had time to deal with it.

Where are the assumptions? What spec or standard changed with the roll out of 3TB drives?

Is that you're response when someone in a store wishes you a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"?

:scratch: Uh... I'm not following your attempt at connecting the dots. When did I say that nothing happens that's out of someone's control?

Uh... A quick google search confirms 23" 1920x1200 monitors were definitely sold in the past. They're not sold anymore, but they were previously.

Well... Why would you have a 2TB limitation in your drivers? It's not like the SATA spec topped out at 2TB. When a 4TB drive comes out will newer drivers be needed because this driver only supports up to 3TB? Typically when you write a low level driver you try to support the spec in full...

Wait, wait, wait... So you're telling me the previous versions of the drivers didn't support drives larger than 2TB?

They could also be 1920x1200.

Apparently it was cloudy, I slept though it.

Well, today when I came home from work the internal DNS server in the DIR-655 had quit working. When this happened previously I did a ping from inside DIR-655's menu the internal DNS server would start working again. Today, that didn't work. I had to release and renew the WAN side before the...

So is anyone planning to stay up late or get up in the middle of night to watch the lunar eclipse? I though about it, but think I will sleep instead. If I was more committed I'd have the camera out and try to photograph it like I did in 2008.

Maybe, I didn't look that closely into it, but I figured I had too many assets and too much in savings to qualify. Plus, my wife was still employed. Ultimately I wasn't really interested in trying to game the system. I'm just sick of having to bear the burden of bailing out the irresponsible.

Well then the bank must be stupid then for not wanting to save themselves money and rewarding irresponsibility. ;) I want to know how I can get a modification? Oh wait... I'm responsible... I can't... :tdown:

FWIW, my wife tells me the pronunciation of their Chinese name sounds nothing like ASUS. Of course the same goes for Gigabyte, MSI, etc... :lol:

I've assigned disks to folders for years and haven't found it problematic. Typically I have a small partition / drive (~100MB) that is empty with the exception of some folders that have drives mounted to them. This single drive is then shared over the network, so other computers can map one...

Isn't that how everyone says it? :scratch:

Personally, I think it's kind of funny. No one should be getting a loan modifications in the first place. If people claim they can't afford the payment, request a modification, gets told it's in process, and keep making the payment, maybe they could afford the payment after all and didn't need...

Maybe, but he's dealing with a heavily compressed data format which means the data rates for the video files are low, like 5MB/sec, so I would expect some other part of the process to bottleneck it before the STR of the drives do. Plus a lot of video editing programs like to decompress and...

If you'd been following along you'd know he's building his quiet servers out of consumer grade parts.

Talk about an obscure reference. I had to Google the name to even figure out who that was.

Happy Birthday! :reindeer:

I would think that's 6 4GB sticks in a triple channel configuration.

Gone up since when? I mean across what time frame are you comparing?

What's a Sharonmobile?

My WRT54G with the Tomato firmware handled torrents just fine. On a related note after I posted this rant thread the DNS server in the D-link hasn't stopped responding. :scratch: I also noticed I got 0 replies on my thread on the D-link forum. :tdown:

24 Megapickle? Is it a Vlasic pickle? ARM CPU's don't run x86 instructions, so it doesn't really matter unless someone writes a RAW converter that runs on ARM. I think they're more power efficient, but less powerful.

The Lenovo would be even better if it had a backlight. I've been using a Logitech PS3 Mediaboard Pro with my HTPC recently. It's BT, but works pretty well.

So, I finally got my Lenovo N5901 Mini Wireless Keyboard today. It seems pretty cool so far. The initial plan is to use it with my HTPC.

Did you ask for it in a brown paper sack in non-sequential bills?

If your CPU's cores are pegged than it's not HD STR limited.

Can, but I can't think of any portable Android device there that doesn't have an ARM based CPU.

Are you sure it's STR bound not CPU bound?
