I see there is a tiny jumper that I missed it last week. :doh: So now the data will be copied over for the 6-7th time in a week.

Of course not all. Merc must be joking. Many people use them at work or for business purposes.

They have rednecks in Europe?

8MB paperweight? Is that an issue now?

I hope Merc was not at this event.

Three computers and the TV have been on most of the day and the heat is killing me in here. :( It is not that warm outside, but the temp is 7 °F higher than in the living room. The UPS was beeping on and off today from grid issues and the fan was running full tilt. It is a crazy amount of...

I removed the other controllers, so there is only the LSI now. Four of the ports are liberated to the externals with SATA-SATA adapters or other means. The other RAID is temporarily on the JMB externals cause that is the only way it works consistently. I got a cheap USB 3.0 two-drive box that...

The computers at work (Dell laptops) have the older Samsung SSD. Although the computers suck for other reasons, there have been few drive failures.

I have a 2500K on a Z68A and it works very well.

Boot order is not the problem because it does the same when manually selected. The array works fine until the drives are powered down. There is some problem with the drivers or Windows that does not support hotswap correctly even though the same drives do when not RAIDed. The computer does...

Will that product line be Seagate soon?

I don't know exactly what the problem is. It does not happen every time, but once it does that is it. I think it may have something to do with the initilization order and that there is a delay between the two drives. The RIAD works only on certain controllers that cause me other grief. Right...

:D It looks rather cheap and has no USB 3.0.

Lunar is out tonight. :)

Of course the cheaper ones will be excluded.

What kind of nonsense is this? Maybe Seagate should build the drives better to begin with. :idea: Or maybe it will be a Samsung.

I have this USB 3.0 card too. It uses the NEC chip and is $20 with a USB 3.0 cable included.

:D I get that.

So the ATS are not easily replaceable. :doh:

Well you know I don't get it. :dunno:

Oh, I thought the extras were for 8-16x RAID controllers. That's what I would use them for.

Why is that board so bulky? I'm not seeing what is so special.

The Patriotic is working fine for me so far. I have none of the problems some report for the Sandy 2200 drives.

The mergers are confusing. :crap:

I don't see how any of that precludes buying now, unless you really don't want to do so. Computers will always be faster and usually cheaper in the future.

.

Well of course not while the power is off, but when the power is back on the next time the computer does not boot.

The drive is $130 now. I'm not sure it is worth that much. The similar Samsungs were $90 a few weeks ago. I think some of the ratings are a mistake. Unless I misssed something the product is new.

We rebotted numerous times, but the array does not work correctly with the drives powered down. It is impractical to say the least. :(

The 2500K makes for a fairly cheap and fast system. Now is a fine time for a new system build unless you need top end stuff.

Well I don't mean the whole state of Utah and neighboring states, but some of the parks can be relatively crowded compared to May and September for example. It's not like Yellowstone or places like that in peak season. Of course the places that require a 4x4 see less traffic and some of the...

Heh. Now you see why I go there almost every year. I did 2400 miles in 8 days, practically killing ourselves this year. I try to avoid the mid-summer crowds though.

Buchner at it again?

The RAID 0 cannot withstand the cycles and now the computer hangs at boot.

So will these SSDs become Seagates soon?

I can't do that because the controller has the two SFF-8087 ports, not SATA ports, and I will only be using two of the four drives from one SFF-8087 port externally. The other six are used internally.

Is there anywhere else I can find an SATA passthrough like this? The only other stores I find have terrible RR ratings.

Heh. No more Firewire for me after the disasters in 2003. :( I replaced a pair of the 2TB old-school 7200 RPM Hibachis with one each of the 7200 RPM and 5400 RPM 3TB drives. 2.6 TB was copied in under six hours so at least something was accomplished. Now I have been working with the...

Dynamic Disks is greyed out for USB 3.0. :(

Arrrghh! This is not going well. So far I found that the one enclosure labeled as JDOG is just two separate drives in Windows whereas I thought it was one volume. :mad: Then one of the newer Samsung 2TB hard drives I was moving around in the system was destroyed. There was some smoke and the...

My timewaster* of choice is posting on a certain forum, and it is not SF. ;) I am now #17 which is is not bad out of several hundred thousand members. However, there are some newer members that will overtake me soon. *Posting here is not a waste of time. :)

Nope, no Facebook. There is enough PII out there.

Oh, so that is the Solitaire game people played on the computers a lot in the 90s? I recall it was a problem at work back before the internet. According to the wiki it is diffcult to lose. In a way that is something special, so justifiable as not horrible.

WTF? You life must be looking up if that is a horrible event.

For me Z: is always the RAMDisk and Y: is a fast SSD for e-mail, web and temp files. I understand what you mean though.

It looks like somebody ordered the wrong engine.

Maybe it was Woodrow Nitpecker or Nitpicker or whatever.

What? Are you alright?

I don't think it would be a great idea to have a backup array on another computer, becauce I might get the two computers computers confused and change files on the backup system accidentally. That would be chaos. :) Maybe I should make two RAID 0 arrays, one in the computer and one external.

Is that you, Woody Nutpicker? 5-6 lbs.
