    Best drives for RAIDZ (TLER, URE, cost, etc.)

    > device inquiries that logical sector size is 512 and physical sector size is 4K. I'm not a fan of 4k sectors, even if they do emulated 512 sectors and are 4k aligned. http://zfsday.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Why-4k_.pdf But I'll also admit everything is 512e these days, so we...

    Best drives for RAIDZ (TLER, URE, cost, etc.)

    I would consider 512n sectors desirable for any FS. WD RED and Seagate NAS are 512e. http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/ZFS+and+Advanced+Format+disks

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    its not the wattage rating of the PS, its how many of thoese watts are getting to the drive planes, my tiny PS has 5 runs of copper to the rails and it handls my 12 drive, 360 watt startup fine

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    > 860W which has 3+3+2 molex cables and norco 7to1 cable. use the 7to1 to tie all the planes together and tape off the feed. it would be better to have more than three wires from the PS, but plug the three you have into every other norco plane.

    Touchscreen Solaris NAS

    Not trying to hijack this thread, or dampin enthusiasm, but a headless solaris box with apache <--> ipad interface is a cool easy idea, but I'm not sure it would cover enough problems to be "useful". perhaps a slight change of focus to no touch keyboard and mouse and work on a program that...

    Power Supply for 4224

    Green drives keep the noise down (little cooling required) and don't need much power, so based on this perhaps a XFX Core Edition PRO650W

    Question About Which Chassis to Buy

    > is the 4224 the 4220 with 4 more drive bays? yes, at $88 to $100 cheaper. you will be happy, Congrads! I also went from CM stacker with 5 in 1 to Norco. > I don't really like hotswap bays - and need a vibration dampening on all HDs. this is also an issue with some of the 5 in 1...

    Question About Which Chassis to Buy

    Don't we love peer pressure? so the debate is 4216 vs 4224 and I second hotzen's vote for the 4216. 1) its $50 cheaper. 2) The cost in compute power to support the extra disks is huge and not needed at home 3) The cost in noise (cooling) to support the extra disks isn't good for the home 4)...
