    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    The memory requirement of the L2ARC depends on the block size of the cached data. IIRC each L2ARC chuck requires 180 bytes of memory, and by default a maximum of 25% of RAM can be used for the L2ARC index. I made a basic calculator in Excel a few years back using the numbers I found in some...

    Storage gurus, critique my budget build plan?

    "zfs import" Thats the "level of skill" you need... Who wants to be tied to a single manufacturer that might or might not be on the market when I need a new controller that *will* eventually fail? What if they decided that they no longer need to support arrays made on legacy controllers...

    Good alternatives to Dropbox?

    Not if you use public links. People can just download the file from the web.

    Good alternatives to Dropbox?

    The price of Onedrive is hard to beat, even more so if you have any use for their Office Suite. The family plan gives you up to 5x 1TB at a very reasonable price.

    Any rumors when the Samsung 860 Pro will be released?

    I don't think it's ever even been mentioned by anyone, let alone announced by Samsung. No one knows if there'll even be an 860 model at some point. Why would there, anyway? Samsung seems to have changed their naming with their new form factor SSD's, and I don't see much reason to release new...

    Ruining TLC Reputation

    You blame Samsung for something that hasn't happened? What the actual...? Sure, Samsung released firmware that had a bug (which is effectively impossible to detect in Q&A due to the time it takes for it to show up). Then, when they postpone the fix to make sure it's as perfect as they can make...

    Some design and prototyping issues on a 20000 rpm HDD spindle motor with a ferro-flui

    Yes, and in these situations you use spinners (typically 10k) and SSD or flash caches. You would never, ever, use 20k drives. The fact that you think otherwise - and insist on it - tells me that you haven't set foot in a DC in the last 5 years. Even cheapish servers from the major players...

    Some design and prototyping issues on a 20000 rpm HDD spindle motor with a ferro-flui

    I don't mention heat or power at all, I mention R&D (basically developing a completely new type of harddrive) and manufacturing (something like this is going to require some mental tolerances), and if you want it to sell, it has to be WAY cheaper/GB than SSD. You'd have to be one hell of a...

    Some design and prototyping issues on a 20000 rpm HDD spindle motor with a ferro-flui

    Even if you happened to be correct, it's not being wise to just wildly guess and then lucking out. It's called blind luck. There are no indications that any manufacturer is making a 20k+ RPM drive, and with good reason. The cost in R&D alone is ridiculous, manufacturing it, probably just as...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Okay, I'm throwing in the towel.. I need help! I'm trying to move the metadata of my PMS to an nfs exported ZFS filesystem. It all seems to work fine: I can mount the exported filesystem and I've copied the old PMS metadata to the mounted filesystem. Now PMS won't start, and I think the...

    Considering re-balancing ZFS array... worthwhile or waste of effort?

    I did the same a while ago.. It'll rebalance over time, so if the speed discrepancy is a non-issue to you, I would leave it as it is..

    Point-to-point FibreChannel

    If you think PCI-X will work in PCI-E, I don't think you're quite ready to play around with Fibre Channel.
