    Solution for storing massive amounts of video (MP4/AVC)? Hard Drives?

    I tried reading some DVDs (burned myself) that were 2 years old (or less) and most of them had errors when reading. I still recommend a hard disk based solution if acessed often and maybe tape for long term archiving purposes.

    Solution for storing massive amounts of video (MP4/AVC)? Hard Drives?

    If you consider online-backup I would rather use a dedicated backup-service instead of S3. S3 is more work and costs. Also the guy in that link uses a 120W System where you can easily build a system that uses <50W today and have way more storage available than his server had. Also Blue Falcon...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Can't you configure how much drives the controller is supposed to spin-up ? I can do that on my 3ware 9690SA-8I. @houkouonchi is the expander hooked up to the "LSI based SAS2 HBA" when doing so ? In the post before you did say its not (at least thats what I understood), which would explain why...

    I think it depends on the controller/backplane/drives rather than the expander.

    Possible to migrate SFF-8087/SATA to SFF-8087/8087?

    You could try "simulating" this by changing the SATA-Ports for your drives, if that works, it should also work with the backplane, but I'm pretty certain it will.

    Are all Intel controllers capable of raid?

    I did experience the "RAID-Array working under AHCI"-part but the raid-functions are software-based anyways so why shouldn't it work.

    16TB NAS (mini?)

    I'm pretty sure that oil and hard disk drives shouldn't bei mixed, also the drives are "green" so there is no need for such extreme cooling practices. Also you won't be able to sell the stuff later when theres oil on it. I kinda like the case and appreciate his work, but performance sucks and...

    Yes its possible to remove Single Drives and entire Units from within the 3ware 3DM2-site (On the Maintenance page).

    How to power down and hot-swap hard disk with LSI raid card under Windows 7?

    3ware supports it also, but I would recommend to not disable the drive cache and instead use the remove feature in the management software of the card.

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Is anyone using the Intel AXX6DRV3GEXP or AXX4DRV3GEXP Expander Backplanes? I'm using the 4-port-version with my 3ware 9690SA-8I and it works perfect. Also has a drive-activity-led for each slot and you can use the identify-feature in 3DM2 . You could hook up to 24 drives (or even 48 when...
