    MTBF and AFR - how long will drive last?

    I am giving you hours. I just look at how often I record. Those numbers are not continuously. I record between 7.5 hours to 15 hours a day. I record about 6 hours Monday-Friday on just ESPN alone. Also can you tell me how can I measure the temperature of a hard drive behind a array? I have...

    MTBF and AFR - how long will drive last?

    You are correct. I am not reading/writing 24/7/365. I probably writing about 6 days a week 7.5 - 15 hours/day. I am going to have to buy a volt meter.

    MTBF and AFR - how long will drive last?

    I don't have any vibration issues. I don't think I have a power supply issue. The power supply never unexpectedly shutdown or reboot unless there is a power outage. I have a 380W earthwatts running 3 HGST 4tb, 3 Seagates 320 GB drives, 120gb Kingston ssd, H700, a i5 cpu, and a EVGA GT 610...

    MTBF and AFR - how long will drive last?

    I bought 3 HGST 4TB drives and so far 2 of them have gone out. I bought 3 2TB seagates and only 1 of them lasted also.

    Windows 8 file transfer speed problem

    You was right about the cache. I should have mention that I was running 3 hard drives in a raid 5 using the onboard raid with the Intel Raid Storage technology software. I went into the Intel Raid software and saw that the "Write-cache buffer flushing" feature was enabled. After I disabled this...

    Windows 8 file transfer speed problem

    Is there a reason why you retired the Server 2012 when your drop off was better in this server at 1.5Gs instead of the Win8 at 100-200Ms?

    Windows 8 file transfer speed problem

    I am having problems transferring large files to my Windows 8 machine from my Windows 7, Windows 2008 Server, and Windows 2012 server. The files starts off transferring between 110-118MB/s but then drop below 20MB/s and stay there. I have tried 2 different nics (onboard and a Intel pro 1000mt...
