and with all 10 of the drives... ~1GB/s read write ---------------------------------------------------------- ===HW raid6 with 10x 3T low power drives 5 hitachi and 5 toshiba=== ---------------------------------------------------------- -Write (Create) 10GB File time dd if=/dev/zero...

Yeah, lower price, lower power consumption, and less heat.... and what he said about speed... i had 5x hitachis in a raid 6 speeds posted below... i rerun some speed tests when i get done moving some data... but here is a internal laptop drive for comparison.. ===laptop drive===...

me too i need 10 more to fill out my norco

I just ran the full 4 tests (badblocks) on 5 x 3TB toshiba drives, all tests completed with 0 errors, and took right about 200 hours to run... these were all hoooked up via usb (as they were external drives) this would be faster on an internal bus - but i didnt want to void the warranty by...

it should work... i havent mixed speeds and cache sizes though... one thing to be aware of, some manufactures have 2tb drives, but sizes can be a but differnt.. so you might not want to use the absolute max available space.. instead of 2T use like 1.9 or so.. I had a friend run into a problem...

so far so good... just got done adding 5 of these to my raid6 with 5 of the old hitachis... took 2-3 days to expand the array, seconds to grow the fs... and now im copying some data... df /dev/sdc Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc 23435323392...

must be some setting in my profile im missing somwhere... ---yup there they are it was in the usercp if anyone figures out the 'inner tabs', i'd like to know.. I should be adding them to the array, expanding, and growing the fs, starting tmo.. doot

there ya go, im not sure why but the images dont show up, even though i put them in as img

http://imgur.com/a/OSydS 1) Start with this corner the two white lines indicate where the first two tabe are 2) you will apply presure here on the 'vents' - push in 3) once you can fit a tool inside work your way down the drive on the side with the connectors to release all...

Yea i have two more drives that should be finishing tmo with the badblocks test Ill take some pics then I can get it open without breaking most all of the tabs on the outer layer, but the inside has some that i see no way of getting too... i have no idea how the factory would even do it...

After about 200 hours I have three drives that have completed with 0 errors (im sure this would have been faster on an internal bus but i wanted to test these before i ripped the enclosures open) sudo badblocks -svw -c 4096 -b 4096 /dev/sdb >tosh3tbbb2 Checking for bad blocks in read-write...

well there are no security seals anywhere on the enclosues.. just a ton of tabs

1010: I know the T-S/N is what counts... My main point there was that you can not see the T-S/N until you open the drive, you can only get the S/N... So there is not a way to check if the enclosure is in warranty. Philmatic: Im hoping thats all good... If you know specifcially how to...

Didnt delete anything from slickdeals, i dont have a slickdeals account but do check there far to often. Right now I am doing a badblocks check on the drives, they are at ~92% with 76 hours and counting (on the third test atleast) I tried to run smrtctl -t long but it wouldnt run I think this...

They are going in my Raid, if they sold them stand alone I would be more than happy to buy them that way... I busted one getting it open, to check what was actually inside.. But there are no security seals or anything, and now i know where all the different tabs are, so I am going to try...
