Come on. Thor had the Dwarves of Nidavelir forge Stormbreaker, and they have the heart of a dying neutron star in their workshop, how hard could it be for a storage company to make a deal to use that one!!!!
I would love to see this, but there have been press releases about the "next big thing" in Optical/Quartz/3D Crystal/Tape storage, promising hundreds of terabytes to hundreds of petabytes. It is always announced by a small research group at...
They haven't said anything yet. The models we were EVT'ng are SAS dual actuator & HAMR so my guess is 2x-3x the current top-end-capacity enterprise drives.
Honestly, it really depends on your use cases. We have boxes that are SSD only (Database mainly), Hybrid Tiered SSD/HDD (NetApp WAFL and others (Mail, File, DC & More which are SSD front end/ SSD/HDD backend.)) You need to decide if the benefits...
Any small biosimilar or non expectable fibers (generally) can cause asbestosis or mesothelioma (or a host of other conditions.) These generally accumulate over the course of years, where there was a high concentration of the fibers in the air...
Unfortunately, based upon your log you have additional serious issues going on with your array. You have entire array drive drops and time outs which with the failed drives have left your array in an unknown state. My first question is how...
Based upon what you stated you only have 2 members of a R6 fail (the first two which were array members, and the spare which had not yet been graduated to an array member,) which while not leaving your any parity should (if there are no other...
First, please post the complete log from the card. Are the drives still in their original drive order? Next, you mentioned (2 drives of 6) did you originally have a 4 drive R6 of 2TB drives, which you were migrating the data to a second 4 drive...
All drives fail. All manufacturers have bad runs. With very few exceptions (Such as the IBM Deathstar and the Seagate 7200.11) most drives are generally ok as long as you use drives correct for your particular workload.
With the related caveats, certainly. Keep in mind this will drop your warranty from 3-5 years to 1 year. You get no guarantee of a particular drive or speed, just capacity. Keep in mind that some external drives use binned drives that while...
