    Anyone got any experience with Asus P9D WS for fileserver

    Thanks for the tip, it is a about 20% more expensive here, but that is within stirking distance so I will check it out. I am not sure what the comprehensive remote control gives me, aren't Intel vPRO supposed to give me remote control in any case? Or have I misunderstood? The P9D-E/4L has...

    Anyone got any experience with Asus P9D WS for fileserver

    I am looking at the Asus P9D WS for mye fileserver, for the following reasons: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P9D_WS/ Pretty cheap for a C226 board. C226, so it has inbuilt VGA Dual intel LAN However i also have some concerns: Are Vpro/KVM guranteed to be supported due to CPU and...

    Are Seagates really as bad as they say?

    I see my post can be misunderstood, I ment that 7200 rpm was the norm even a decade ago for 3,5 inch HDDs, a decade ago is when sata was introduced too. If anything, lower spin speeds is more normal now than it was 10 years ago.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I recently got an "1 bit ECC RAM error" from my areca-card which is labeled as "urgent", but is this really a problem? Isnt this only a single bit-fault that has been corrected? It is the first time it has happend after running many years.

    Are Seagates really as bad as they say?

    Do new drives spin much faster? 7200 Rpm was the norm even a decade ago for 3,5, I would say new drives in average spin slower, since its much more normal with sub 7200 rpm rate now than it was.

    Are Seagates really as bad as they say?

    That was the one in the forefront of my mind when i wrote the reply, the article has some valid points, but is full of oddities and what i can only think is misunderstandings. That article is much poorer work than the backblaze-article it is criticizing.

    Are Seagates really as bad as they say?

    Really? The critique of the test I have seen has frankly been pretty poorly thought out, with 80% misunderstandings and 20% "The data could have been more optimal", as it always can be (backblaze haven't made a scientific study), but as long as people can't find a even better study, the data...

    Areca (or other) RAID-card, what actually happens if you run into a URE during rebuid

    The card has the choice it IMHO always should use. Send an alarm when it hits an URE, continue the rebuilding, and warn about the URE in the log. For most people, 99.9% recovery is better than 0%

    Areca (or other) RAID-card, what actually happens if you run into a URE during rebuid

    I see many articles claiming that the controller will automatically fail the rebuild if it runs into a URE (unrecoverable read error) during a rebuild, is that actually the case for areca-cards, or others? Seems like pretty stupid behavior.

    RAID6 advantages?

    Yeah, but my original claim was that R5 was the best choice for 4 disks. For for instance 8 i would rather choose r6.

    RAID6 advantages?

    You still have 50% more data for the same price Thats a false dilemma, you are neither guaranteed to loose data with r5, or guaranteed not to loose data on r6. I personally would run backup either way, and I have never been in the situation of two drive failures within a few days of each other.

    RAID6 advantages?

    While it is true that R6 is safer, "losing" half the space is a big hit, and a major cost.
