Well, I guess it wasn't intended for you then

 

[MrsGungho]

Yes, I agree that you CAN be nice.

Because one comment was for someone else?

NAS = Network Attached Storage. Translation: Lots of networked harddrives acting as one.

SAN = Storage Area Network. Translation: Storage server with lots of harddrives acting as one with redundancy.

Ah; that is what this is it is a Seagate black armor with 4 drive in it. setup in Raid 5.

After a little trouble shooting I figured out that one of the hard drives has gone bad. looks like t trip to best buy or frye's is in order over lunch.

English Mother ****er! Do you speak it?!

I am a mechanical engineer if it doesn't have gears and cogs I I probably won't understand it.

Will it support more drives? The advantage of RAID 5 is if you have a backup drive or two in the array when one drive fails, it rebuilds the data on the spares. Then you replace the bad drive and designate it as a spare.

I forgot my purple

It isn't always about me, I know that

it has 4 hard drives in it now. (well 3 since I removed the bad one.) I will replace it over lunch and rebuild the drive this afternoon. Just took time to figure out what was wrong with it.

I didn't know if you could have 2 spares, then you wouldn't have to wait to get one. That's why I was asking.

 

[Westside]

for some reason the control software locked up the device. So I had to watch it boot. then when it hung on the same hard drive check, I removed it and rebooted the system with no problems.

to be honest I let the setup/install wizard do most of the setup I will look at the settings and see. what options it has.

I do know that right now I have all the data on the drive and it is accessible. so nothing is lost.

 

[Rayne]

I won't say what I do

How are you feeling today dear?

achy/akey (ok how do you spell that? I'm too lazy to look it up) as always. no better no worse,

I've begun to realize that this may effect my shooting and it's starting to worry me. I got things to shoot and places to go shoot.

achy

I sure hope it doesn't but you are right, it most certainly can. I hope it doesn't though

 

[Westside]

It looks like with 4 drives I am raid 5 is my best option with 1 disk acting as a spare. I would need a different device that can hold 5 hard drives to go to a raid 6 setup that would let my have two spares.

any fun plans for this weekend
