    Software to sort files to create collections by size?

    Hi. I have a 42 TB media server and it's down to like 1 TB free. I have a BD burner and some blanks, figured I'd archive off a bunch of stuff I don't care much about and don't need online. Is there any software out there that I can point at a folder and say "create collections of as close to...

    External supply recommendations?

    Hi. I have an LTO2 tape drive in an external SCSI enclosure. The enclosure PSU died and I cannot find a replacement. I was thinking if I just had a PSU that didn't require a mobo to turn it on, I'd be fine. Does anyone know of one that would work to turn itself on just via a rocker on the...

    Regular drives in array

    Sounds good. I noticed that Seagate's NAS drives are only $10 more than regular, so I may as well just buy those. I'll max out my board (32 GB) and if worst comes to worst, I can just fall back to my original Windows server setup. Well, I'm over building so I won't have to worry about this...

    Regular drives in array

    Hi. I seem to recall reading somewhere that you can get away with using non-NAS certified drives with a software RAID like FreeNAS; that you won't have the drop out problems. Is that accurate? My current setup is: Chenbro RM-4140U case (16 hot swap bays, SATA backplane) 16 WD10EACS 1 TB...

    Good drive to use for array?

    Thanks for the input. Hmm good point about the controller, I have no idea. I bought it back in 2007, that may be an issue. Have to do some reading hehe. Thanks again :)

    Good drive to use for array?

    Hi. I currently have a server with 16 Western Digital 1TB green drives (WD10EACS) in RAID6 on an Areca ARC-1160ML2. I've been continually deleting things from the array over the last few months due to space issues, so I really need to blow this thing away and upgrade. I was thinking of...

    What really constitutes a web server?

    Yea, that's why I stopped even trying. I figured nothing I can say would help. I could probably get a letter from Cisco's CTO stating their routers have web server capability and it would be explained away heh. Being no expert myself though I figured I'd get an objective opinion on whether...

    Whoops, I originally thought I was posting in Networking forum. Sorry.

    What really constitutes a web server?

    The idea wasn't whether or not it's a good idea, rather whether or not it's valid to state that the router has what can be described as "web server" functionality in that it technically is a web server (it serves web content). My Netgear router, if you telnet to it on 80 and do a GET / HTTP/1.1...

    What really constitutes a web server?

    I was reading a discussion on another forum and someone said they once ran a web server off of a router, to which another person replied: "And no, you did not run a web server on an old router. I don't even know where to begin with this one. Routers have so little RAM the web server would not...

    Hard drive shelf life?

    Thanks guys. I had considered having hot spares, but I figured having them run 24x7 would put them in the same danger for breakdown as the other drives. Well, I guess not quite the same, since I assume they aren't being accessed constantly like the main ones.

    Hard drive shelf life?

    Howdy. I'm planning a revamp of my array box (currently Areca 1680ml2 with 16 WD10EACS in R6). I'd like to build a second box using a 24 bay machine, but I doubt I'll have funds for that so I plan to just yank the 16 1 TB drives and replace with 3 TB drives. My question is, the motivation...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    +1. ~$160ish for 3 TB sounds really tempting. I have WD10EACS right now, and I was able to use the WD tool to enable TLER on them but I'm hearing it won't work on the WD30EZRX. Does anyone know for sure? 16 of these drives RAID'd would make for a long time I could go without worrying about...
