    Image of McAfee Endpoint Encrypted Work Laptop Takes Down ZFS?

    I dont know what the issue is but my laptop is McAfee Endpoint encrypted and I dump images of it regularly to a ZFS pool for backup. I use R-Drive Image and just let it compress the image, nothing specific. I am doing it specifically for backup though, no conversion or reimaging process. My...

    Please check my logic on storage solution decisions

    1 - Personally... I prefer RAIDZ2 over mirrors unless you are talking about a VM data store. Mirrors for plain simple file storage make no sense, you take the hit of efficiency (Dont get greedy, 50% is fine? WTF does he do for a living? Give him a 50% income tax and lets see....) and you do not...

    I need an advice on a suitable SAS/SATA HBA

    Yes, most people consider it required. But it will work without it. Ive never heard of the G2020 and G2030 so I dont know? The specs seem fine.

    I need an advice on a suitable SAS/SATA HBA

    What _Gea said. Works great, very affordable combo.

    I need an advice on a suitable SAS/SATA HBA

    It doesnt "require" it to work, it is strongly recommended to get the full benefit of ZFS (and most file systems really) but many people run without it. There are more affordable boards that have ECC. I use a Supermicro X9SCL (might be an X9SCM) both of which I would call affordable, with a...

    ZFS drives, what's the current choice?

    The one Toshiba I had (bought to use only as an off site back) crapped out way too fast as well. Bearing failure, made plenty of nasty noises on its way out.... I dont know the model number, warranty was expired so it when to the drill press then recycling. My vote goes to WD Reds, I have 8x...

    Awesome, not at all surprised that you're steps ahead of me. I look forward to it!

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

    Hey Gea, the Pushover feature is awesome, thank you so much for adding it. I was wondering if you could expand it to notify on S/H/T errors as well? And maybe Smart info failures? I ask because (at least in my experience) I've never had a disk just fail and go offline with ZFS except for...

    OCZ to Unveil New TLC-based SSD Series at Computex 2015

    Take a pill :rolleyes: Toshiba should have googled "OCZ opinion" or something before buying, and changed the name. This is exactly the sort of response people are going to give now, especially in these circles. Its like a car company coming out with the Pinto II, the name is a joke forever.

    Amazon Offers Free Same-Day Prime Shipping On Orders Over $35

    Its the same as Newegg, IMOH even easier than Newegg.... Type in hard drives in the search field Select filters (brand, 4TB+) Select prime only (because why anything else?) Results Newegg's site is worse the few times ive used them.

    Amazon Offers Free Same-Day Prime Shipping On Orders Over $35

    You know there are filters on the left hand side right? Including an option for "4TB & Above" in the hard drive catagory? Including being able to filter by brand, rotational speed, physical size and can even filter by if the drive knows how to use a website....

    Crashplan 4.2 drops support for OpenSolaris

    Me personally (not the OP) I only have it on my OpenIndiana box, so no Windows clients involved currently.

    Crashplan 4.2 drops support for OpenSolaris

    Nooooooo!! One of the reasons I love CrashPlan is it runs right on my OpenIndiana box. It is currently backing up, so I wonder when it will kick in for me...

    RAID Strategy with 8x 6TB Disks

    Its important to note that its not just two drives. In theory an eight drive RAID10 can have four drives fail, but they have to be the "right" four drives. If one drive fails and then its mirror fails, there is data loss. If one drive fails and then another drive that is NOT its mirror fails...
