    eSATA Enclosures

    Currently I have a five-disk RAID5 in my case, and due to stupidity on my part (Bought Seagate 7200.11s instead of WD Green Powers) it's loud in terms of vibration. Thus, I want to get them out of my case, and likely So, I'm looking for a five-disk eSATA enclosure that will display five disks...

    UPS vs Surge Suppressor

    I was looking at the white Back-UPS 1500VA earlier. (Slimmer, so it'll fit into my equipment rack with less hassle, and its recharge time is 8 hours vs the black LCD versions' 16.) Between the two systems, 10 HDDs should be around 100W, the 8800 GTS 150W, each CPU (Account for overclocks)...

    700Watt Rocketfish from BestBuy

    Rocketfish rebrands multiple OEM's products, from mice, to headsets, to surge protectors Lian Li does not, to my knowledge, make or re-brand PSUs.

    UPS vs Surge Suppressor

    I've got a bit of a dilemma here - I'm about done a build (Q6600, G80 8800 GTS, 6 HDDs...) and will soon be integrating it into my office. In the office, I have a piddly 500VA APC UPS that's several years old, so the batteries have decayed substantially. They last exactly 38 seconds with present...

    Antec TPII 550W

    Bought a TP II 550W in December of 2005, had it fail within the last few weeks. Today I received the replacement, a TP 3 550W. Hopefully it lasts.

    Link Aggregation / Trunking Question

    I have a file server I just finished building, as well as my main system, and a tertiary desktop. The first two have gigabit NICs, the latter has fast ethernet. I have a gigabit switch that doesn't support trunking - Is it possible to have the third system connect to the server via...

    Gigabit performance?

    You'd need a gigabit NIC for the server, for starters. After that, I think the hard drives in your server will become the bottleneck - But you'll still see much faster transfers than you're currently getting. 10 minutes for 8 gigabytes is 13.6MB/s, technically faster than peak theoretical...

    Ethernet Throughput

    Might as well bring this one back as I've got a similar issue again. I'm building a second system that supports gigabit ethernet, but for now, still, just the one box. I set up vsftpd and placed a 1.1GB archive in the FTP folder, then downloaded it to the same drive, different folder via...

    Ethernet Throughput

    I've been transferring via Samba - And my test files have been a few of my newly-ripped albums (In FLAC). I achieved around 6300 kB/s while transferring to one of my desktops that operates at 100Mbit, and tried the laptop again afterwards with numerous separate, but simultaneously-running...

    Ethernet Throughput

    Hi, I've been migrating files from my laptop to my desktop today, via crossover. The desktop supports gigabit ethernet, but the laptop NIC is only capable of 100 megabit speeds - I believe it's a Broadcom BCM4401. However, monitoring my LAN activity using Firestarter, I only see speeds...

    Network Setup Advice

    One more question: To connect a switch to a router, do I need to use one of my crossovers, or does that only apply when connecting a router to a router?

    Network Setup Advice

    Alright, thanks. Anyhow, I checked the Switches & Hubs section of the weekly NCIX mailing list - I can get the Netgear Prosafe GS108NA for $50 ($79 normal, $14 instant discount, $15 MIR). It's got 8 ports as opposed to the FREEDOM9's 5. It looks like a good deal - Any reason not to buy it?

    Network Setup Advice

    Oh, alright. I was putting the switch ahead of the router in the signal chain, so the switch served the router, rather than vice versa. Can the router assign addresses properly via DHCP when all that's directly connected to it is the switch, or will the switch as a whole get, for example...

    Network Setup Advice

    Hmm. I wasn't aware that switches didn't have WAN inputs. There aren't any problems with plugging WAN and LAN devices into a switch?

    Network Setup Advice

    Unfortunately, I'm in Canada - So NCIX is my alternative to the Egg. Looks like I can get a Trendnet TEG-S8 for around $50. The other unfortunate bit is Tomato can't run on v5 or newer WRT54Gs. Totally neutered platform.
