    VPN between offices in China

    I'll try... Others think I may be behind CG NAT or Large Scale NAT. If that is the case, there isn't much I can do but scream. Something about the USA hogging 60% of the IPV4 addresses for 5% of the world's population. Carrier-grade NAT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    VPN between offices in China

    I have a small home office in China and my internet using dynamic IP addressing there doesn't want to allow a VPN connection into the office either with OpenVPN or PPTP into my dd-wrt router. I get no connection, and various other errors that seem to be related to no connectivity. Yet from the...

    On/Off Thermostatic Fan Control separate from MB

    How did you wire it? Solder into the 12V line to the fan? Does it remember the setpoint if you unplug power, or do you have to reprogram the setpoint? I'm thinking of a 40 degrees C setpoint, with no shutdown until 25 degrees C to limit fan cycling when it actually does come on. Size is a...

    On/Off Thermostatic Fan Control separate from MB

    I have a NAS box that makes too much noise because the fans won't shut down. Since everything goes too sleep, HD spin down etc, there is no need for the fans to keep running. MB control is not available, but just a simple thermostat on a molex connector would be lovely. Where can I find...

    SSD prices

    Why can't somebody glue a 256 GB SSD to a 3-4 TB HD, and make them operate like one unit. The user just uses it, and it uses the 256 GB SSD like high speed cache, moving the data to the slower speed platters for archival when nothing else is going on. This should be an OS feature....

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    Found a couple of reviews out there, but trust you guys to shred the reviews. First one is being stripped out by the forum software to (the ssd review dot com) http://.com/raid-enterprise/newer-technology-guardian-maximus-mini-portable-raid-review/4/...

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    Sorry, but cost is always an obstacle. This is why we are running Windows for this work. Just try and price half dozen high end MAC computers. The Drobo mini is interesting, but more expensive. Will see where I can get thunderbolt PCIe cards.

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    Love the idea of pairing a small fast SSD with a 3TB Green HD. This would be the ultimate. We would never need more than 10-20 gigabytes at one time, but we would be accessing it non-chronologically. We just need software that manages the movement of the data from SSD to the green HD. From...

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    If this was for me, I would go with the Super Talent flash drive. I can manage the small size. The staff using this on a regular basis, are not computer friendly, and since this is a workflow requirement,all the images would flow onto this system, and would be edited off this system, and we...

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    Wow those are fast. Still we need to be able to hold a number of months of photo shoots and 2 TB is comfortable. We used to only have 1TB and it was too small. We need to be able to access our current workflow without having to copy it back from the archived unRaid server.

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    I see my Drobo being my 100TB unRaid that provides fault tolerant storage. Too heavy to move.. What I need is fast portable storage in 2TB size. Approx 200 mb/sec or faster read and write.

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    A typical day will add 10gig to the externals, and we are working on several months worth at a time, so 2TB is a comfortable size. Would love a 2TB SSD, but it would be pricey. A 2 bay 2.5 eSata enclosure sounds ideal, but not easy to find. Maybe this one...

    Fastest Portable External Storage - Raid0 ?

    The backup solution is unRaid over gigabit ethernet. 100 mb/sec is all you can do at present, but fast enough. I call that slow, because raid0 locally is over twice that fast. It really gives us the best cost/performance. Unreliable 2-4TB raid0 being continually backed up in the background...
