    XSAN - OpenFiler

    Wow, Thank you guys for the huge response!!! Yes I've taken a look at Drobo - it looks like an awesome option. I'm just concerned it wouldn't have the bandwidth to support 3 or 4 people editing off of it at once. Has anyone tried something like this? I feel like a single gigabit connection...

    XSAN - OpenFiler

    Not to double post, but I don't think I posted properly in the other section - and nobody seemed to have an answer. I work with some editors as their IT guy. Basically they are currently shuffling external drives to one another editing projects on Final cut 7. I'd like to simplify the process...

    Apple SAN with XSAN

    Hey. I work with some editors as their IT guy. Basically they are currently shuffling external drives to one another editing projects on Final cut 7. I'd like to simplify the process by getting them onto a SAN-like system where they can store the master footage, and essentially edit off the...

    Game server question

    Is that because it isn't intended for speed? High latency?

    Game server question

    I run an Enemy Territory game server @ home. Its on a 50 down and 8 up connection. The connection seems to be fine for the most part for most players, however people on the other end of the country (Oregon, & Cali) have much larger pings and experience lag. These same players play on a...

    Need OS/configuration suggestions to help with longevity of 24/7 home server build

    I have to be honest. I don't know that I have an answer for you. I have a similar problem I want solved. Although my work flow is different, I too want to shrink down my power usage and drives into a better more compact system. My question too is - what is the best system!? From what it...

    Do games lag because of hard drive?

    Something to also keep in mind is that most anti-cheat programs built into the games (Especially punk buster) can also be a source of lag and may not be your machine at all

    New router causing issues for opening ports

    Hi - I've recently installed a new WRT610N router onto my small business network. Previously my network was as follows: Modem - Server - LAN where the server acts as a gateway using routing and remote access. The addition to the setup now has the router between the modem and the server...

    WHS: moving data partition possible?

    unfortunately - no you can't. Although you would think that would make sense, WHS limits the system drive to only 20 gigs - and it is HIGHLY recommended you don't fiddle with it. You technically shouldnt need a full 20 gigs of system disk space as the machine should have as few programs...

    WHS alternatives - What will you be switching to?

    I haven't done much research on it........it seems to be difficult to get going? I tried in Freenas to get it going smooth, but i always ran into issues with it I keep hearing about these issues with DE...have you tried a fresh install? hows the specs on your main rig?

    WHS alternatives - What will you be switching to?

    hmmm, something to think about....It's just annoying because as a geek, knowing that its already built on technology from roughly 2003 its already going on 8 years old even though it wasn't released until much later. Really? I figured I had some sort of driver issue, but I can't seem to...
