    12 new consumer drives from Toshiba

    I was wondering the same thing. I have 10 7k3000 2tb drives in raid 6, and wanted to add 2 more to the array. Also thought about getting one for a cold spare. This is all on an arcea 1882ix. This seems like it would be a cheaper and easier option than finding some 7k3000 drives. Well once they...

    Does it annoy you to manage your boot drive?

    I have an ssd in every machine I own. I also run ssd's in every new computer at work. Besides occasionally mapping a few folders on a few machines, no action is necessary. I don't get why everyone has the misconception that ssd's are so complicated. Just throw it in and go.

    I just got some new parts for my server. Deceided instead of running drive bender I needed to run an actual raid card. I have a few areca cards at work, so I wanted to run them at home. I also swapped out my i7 2600 to an i7 3770, got it for free. Case: Antec 1200 CPU: i7 3770 Mobo...

    Seagate ST3000DM001 or Hitachi 7K3000 raid 6?

    All I have read the areca cards play much better with the hitachi drives. I know I should of waited to see what toshiba comes out with, but Im bad at that. Guess that will be for my next array when I need more storage. I was thinking about getting 8x of the seagate drives which would of put...

    OS migration to SSD

    How big is your sata drive and ssd? I am guessing you will have to shrink the partition on the sata drive. I have done this before on win 7 installation using gparted, done a back up, then restored it. Then I just enabled ahci and made sure trim was enabled. If you don't have a ton...
