areca could (1st choice, but i'm a tad bit biased in that regard ;) ) perhaps 3ware, etc. email Jus @ 2cpu (pm me and i'll shoot you his email address) and he'll be able to help you out. dave

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

wow... ;) i'm running 4 x 2K3 x64 VMs + 2 x 2K8 VMs on a single box (dual Opteron 2222s + 16GB of RM; 250gb primary, 1TB secondary) and i get boot up for all of these in about 1 minute. ;) i love my box. cheers, dave

so, one of my VMWare project leads decided to use the following: a.) Q6600 processor (I'm using either E6750 or E8400) b.) Intel DP35DP c.) generic video card d.) minimum 4GB (2 x 2gb RAM) e.) old U320 PCI SCSI card w/4 x 18gb drives that seemed to work with him. again, if you do your...

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.)...

pardon me if i'm wrong but...isn't selling outside the FS/FT forum "wrong"? there's always PMs... dave

no, E8400s. i got them from....a distributor (i.e. me) it's a work related thing. dave

i received them today in a box and paid 209.00 per processor. 1 of them is actually up and running on a Formula/SE right now. they're a pain in the ass to get ahold of. cheers, dave

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...

the OP is probably the only person in the world i know of actually using/thinking of using that HSF. ;) dave

HP has a utility (gotta find it....but you can prolly just google it) that formats your USB stick as a bootable drive. I use it for systems @ work when I need something quickly done. dave

'bout time i was someone's hero. ;) given my less-than-graceful exit last time, i think i'll try to stick around this time. :) dave

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

supply and demand. i got 2 today and paid 209.00 apiece for them. also, Hito, you have a PM. cheers, dave

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...
