I went with the Samsung EVO 850 250GB. The system is a Plex media server. This drive is going to host the metadata and temporary transcoding files.

Hey, looking for a 200+GB to replace my old Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB. The drive is still good, I just need more space. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel, Core i5-2500K Thanks!

Done. Thanks! :D

Hey guys, my wife's HD took a dive and AppleCare expired. It had a Hitachi 500GB 5400rpm drive and she never used more than 60GB on it, most of that is just music and videos which is also backed up so it really doesn't need to be there. I don't want to spend more than $100-120, and would like...

Ok, but I think I'm past that point. I understand 1TB=931GB, it's shown in the original post. I didn't know about RAID reducing to the smallest amount available, so that's why I'm now going to move to to a drive pool solution like FlexRAID. If anyone has suggestions on the implementation or can...

I just bought 2 more 3TB drives and I'm looking to remove all of the 1TB drives from the setup. My plan: Use FlexRAID to create a pool with the 2 new 3TB drives Copy over all of the data from /dev/md0 to the new pool. Delete the mdadm RAID5 array. Add remaining 2TB and 3TB to the pool.

I'll just switch out the two 3TB and put them on the mobo sata, that shouldn't cause any issues right? putting the 1TB on the other controller.

crap. it seemed to be the best for the price at MicroCenter. not many stores stock sata/raid controllers on shelves =)

oh no.... so what's the problem here then? *-scsi:0 physical id: 1 logical name: scsi2 capabilities: emulated *-disk description: ATA Disk product: TOSHIBA DT01ACA3 vendor: Toshiba physical...

Does this seem right to anyone? I just put in 2 3TB drives into my RAID5 and was only given back 1.8TB of usable space. /dev/md0 6.3T 4.5T 1.8T 72% /data /dev/sdh1 - 1TB (capacity: 931GB) /dev/sdi1 - 2TB (capacity: 1863GB) /dev/sdg1 - 1TB (capacity: 931GB)...

I'm not sure if a license is needed for the web client, I'm unable to access it and have made sure the firewall is open for vSphere Web Access and httpClient.

Purpose of server is to be an ESXi testbed and potential media server. Considering this Mobo and CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103962 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128521 Already have a case and PSU...

So I went to grab a 64GB from the newegg mailer and noticed the packaging was completely different on the Crucial SSD. The model number has a 2 at the end also. But looking at the crucial site they don't mention anything new about it, but they do show a new badge on the drive...

handbrake, make mp4 files with the iphone header enabled. reason? you never know what you'll stream to in the future/present and if friends come to stay and want to use it with their devices. i re-encode everything to mp4 with handbrake simply because its more universally accepted.

ok, thanks. that's what i was afraid of. just got a hold of these monitors for cheap and wanted to give it a try but those 6970's are out of my price range. :(
