    Ordered a file server - Did I do the right thing?

    I second buying a solution from Dell / HP / <insert your favorite hardware vendor here>. Building servers for home use is fun, building servers to run in an enterprise type environment is not. Buy something /w real 24x7 support. Sure its an extra 2k or so, but when the mobo fails at 5pm on a...

    Old system as a storage server

    According to the Blu-ray Disc specification, 1x speed is defined as 36Mbps. However, as BD-ROM movies will require a 54Mbps data transfer rate the minimum speed we're expecting to see is 2x (72Mbps). Mb not MB. I stream 1080p content to my popcorn hour all the time, it only has a 100Base-T...

    All data from external hard drive got deleted! No humans involved.

    She, like all users is lying. Either she did something stupid and does not want to admit it, or she did something which in her eyes is not relevant to the situation but would solve the problem if she shared it with someone more technical. Sorry bit jaded, I have had three different friends...

    How are the 1.5 TB Seagates after the new firmware?

    I have had the same experience when transferring large files to the drives w/ the new firmware. I upgraded the SATA controller drivers on my machine and so far it seems to have helped ::knock on wood: Between this and Seagate going to 3 year warranties I think my next drives will be western...

    How to handle multiple Admins?

    Just give him a domain account then add that account to the local admin group on the app server. Should be that simple, or am I missing something?

    whats the best way to backup my music?

    whats the best way to backup my music?

    Totally agree, I use a BlacX as well and love it.It makes transporting the drive much easier. I would recommend you spend the extra few dollars and purchase the one with eSATA, but thats just me.

    whats the best way to backup my music?

    I second the idea of an external 1TB drive. I backup all my music to a file server at my house. I then use SyncToy to backup the important files to a 1TB drive that I keep offsite. I keep the drive at work and try to bring it home every few weeks. Sure its manual but it really only takes a...
