    Thanks for the heads up about HDTune, I didn't know it wasnt reliable for raids. My OS is on another single drive, at the time there wasn't even a partition created on the array. I got the same behavior after I formatted a partition though. Firmware was update on all 8 samsungs. It's...

    Asus P8P67 Evo, Stability Problems

    I've been having a lot of stability issues with my P8P67 Deluxe and Corsair memory. My computer always rebooted overnight if left on overnight. Disabling XMP and upgrading to latest bios seems to have helped a lot. No reboot for 3 days.

    Samung F4 - Array settings

    I'm setting up a Raid6 array with 8 Samsung F4 2TB drives running on a Promise 8350 controller to store my many video files. I'm a little bit confused about the array settings I should used. It's my understanding that the Samsung drives are not native 4k sector drive but use 512e, so what...

    Recommendation for file server

    I'm building a file server (E8400, Raid card, CDROM, Cheap Graphic Card) with 8*5400 HDD and 1*7200 HDD. I was wondering which PSU to go with. The capacity calculator I used recommended a minimum of 400W. Does this make sense? The following PSU are currently on sale where I live, which one...

    File Server Tower Case

    I'm looking for a good file server case that can hold at least 8 hdd with decent air cooling. Silent would also be a great plus. I'm planning on buying low energy HDD like the new samsung F4 2TB so I'm not sure if heat will be a huge issue. I was looking at the Antec twelve hundred and...

    Corsair VX450W or Seasonic M12D 750W

    Corsair VX450W or Seasonic M12D 750W

    I'm building an HTPC with the mATX Antec Fusion Remote case and was set on the Corsair VX450W as my PSU, but just noticed that there's a seasonic M12D 750W on sale that would set me back only 20$ more (before rebates). What would you guys pick? 750W is clearly overkill but would their be any...

    Samsung 2TB in Raid

    Anyone has any experience with Samsung 2TB in hardware RAID. I already have one and wouldn't mind buying 3 others and a hardware controller to put them in RAID 5. Are the the hitachi drives the only problem free drives in hw RAID or can you get away with a stable Samsung 2TB HD203WI array?
