    Thunderbolt cable Male to Female Adapter - Do they exist?

    I figured there would be some complexity to it. In my case, I need a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter with a longer cable. The apple version is only 2" - due to specific spacing for a case I'm building, I need a cable length of about 5".

    Thunderbolt cable Male to Female Adapter - Do they exist?

    I Haven't had any luck finding a thunderbolt male to female cable or an adapter. Any suggestions? Form the looks of it, it doesn't exist and I might have to make a custom cable.

    WD Red drives?

    I'll chime in - Bought 4 from newegg for a synology ds412+. None have failed in the past 4 months and were good capacity for the $$$.

    Hard Drive Purchase options

    Understood - I figured 100 drives is not much in the eyes of the whole seller. Thanks for the input.

    What about price/drive? Are there options to buying from the same source amazon uses?

    Hard Drive Purchase options

    We have a job coming up that will require the purchase of up to 100 external drives. Can anyone direct me to an online store that sells drives for bulk rates or wholesale?

    Advice on a New NAS server Build

    Hey Everyone, Looking for some advice on bulding a new nas server. I've built workstations and small raid systems before but never a large linux nas server. This box will be used to house video media - access speeds over the network are not critical, as the goal of this new box is to act as a...

    New To Data Storage systems

    Hey Krazypoloc, Thanks for the good word. I'll start working with that OS on one of my test machines. Any word on a good controller (or two) that would integrate well with ZFS?

    New To Data Storage systems

    Thanks for the info. We are our own IT department and i figure if we build a decent system, we wouldn't need to mess with it too much other then replace drives every now and again and the basic troubleshooting that arises with any computer system. Its not something that needs to be online 24/7...

    New To Data Storage systems

    Hey George, Thank you for you advice, but we have received a few quotes that were way above our budget. We are more then capable of building a system ourselves to save some money, considering the price of harddrives right now. I've parted some systems already and it came out to a total of...

    New To Data Storage systems

    On the contrary, this is for business use, and we do need 40tb + ... 112tb is ideal, but we'd like to start small. Bandwidth to the network isn't an issue right now, since we will be using this system as a dump for all our existing arrays, some of which are very fast, but should be used as...

    New To Data Storage systems

    Hi Guys, I've been messing around with raid arrays for some time, but now im about to get into the 40TB + territory and would like to begin selecting components for the new system. My needs are a system that can be expandable on the fly (not a big priority, but it would be nice), be able...
