    RAID System with already existing data possible?

    so, to repeat the mantra of the ages: "RAID is NOT BACKUP!!!!!" now that we've gotten that out of the way, the migration path that'd i'd recommend would be RAID 1 and yes, you could create that RAID set using the current setup you've got right now. cheers, dave

    Specs For ESX, Whitebox [yes iscsi]

    so here's the deal with ESX. a.) don't use Phenom PER AMD's instructions. Remember, Phenom has the TLB error which has a higher incidence of reporting in virtualized environments than standalone OSs. b.) I use Phenom 9600s for ESX control center boxes but, that's running XP Pro, not ESX. c.)...

    Online backup services

    i work for the company that owns Mozy. ;) Mozy is a bit different than your typical backup software.... i'd definitely suggest taking a look at the various options and, also, setting a backup schedule that most closely fits your "computing lifestyle." for what it's worth, i keep Mozy...

    Need Help Choosing NAS/Network Hard Drive…Any Suggestions?

    Qnap is a little bit beyond your price range, but, they're very decent units as well. Intel has a decent NAS box as well but again, it's about 450.00 or so. erfffff.....nothing beats a Celerra. :) dave

    Project: Galaxy 5.0

    here i am....(man, it's been like 2 years, eh?) a.) Areca only recommends their own brand of memory b.) Kingston memory WILL work and here's the SKUs i know will work: KVR533D2E4/1G KVR533D2E4/2G and KVR533D2E4/512 the reason why they state "single sided" is due to the fact that the BGAs...
