    assistance in expanding my storage

    I'm kinda in the same boat, thinking of going with the Highpoint rocketraid 640L as I have no need for hardware RAID features and it has pretty good reviews. - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115114 It connects on the PCI-e bus, features Sata600, sounds like a winner...

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    Just tried v5.50, exact same situation occurs. Benchmarks fine for X amount of runs and then poof readings all over the place :eek: What other benching tool would you recommend? -Edit Tried crystaldiskmark. After about 8 consecutive runs with similar results the same problem occurs. Good...

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    So I thought I had figured out but guess again. I ran about 10 consecutive benchmarks, threw in a reboot in the middle. All of them run normally until this happens: Wait a couple minutes and I run the benchmark again and everything is back to normal. WTF. Anyone have any input...

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    Seems like one of my sata ports or a certain cable is wonky or something. I seem to have found the right combination of port and cable now... Read Write Will keep the thread updated once I receive my new case and am able to more easily swap cables in and out. Rather curious to do...

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    To clarify: In this live environment it's also erratic. Sometimes completely normal results, sometimes erratic results. Very puzzling.

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    Hey thank you. I have booted a live environment off USB (posting from it now). I'm not able to benchmark the whole drive here (32bit limitation) but I am also seeing erratic drops in this environment. Starting to think this is a hardware issue we're not going to be able to fix. I will try...

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    This read benchmark taken right after the earlier tests, not sure what's causing this.

    Hitachi 5K4000 erratic perfromance

    So I just got this 4TB Hitachi drive and I'm experiencing some odd behaviour. I'm seeing a lot of drops in speed, and other times it's perfectly fine and the graph does not show any drops. In this example the read benchmark just shows a couple of drops in speed. And then other times it's...

    Does anyone have any experience using layer 2 Access-lists? Could this be of any help?

    Restricting access on VLAN basis?

    Hey guys thanks for the response! Unfortunately manually creating ACL's is going to require too much management and work. If there had been a consistent addressing scheme I totally agree with you. As it stands right now there is only 1 VLAN being used, the Native VLAN. Right now...

    Restricting access on VLAN basis?

    Hey all. I have a network which is not segmented in any way, everything is connected on VLAN1. Unfortunately the IP addressing is overlapping which means it's impossible for me to segment the network based on function (not all database servers are in the same subnet for example) or based on...

    Please critique this build.

    I actually meant to say crossfire, my bad, thanks for the explanation. Also switched out the ram for 1.5v counterparts Thanks for the advice.

    Please critique this build.

    Hello guys, thanks for the replies. Decided to swap the case for a Lian Li PC-8N, swapped the PSU for a Corsair Enthusiast TX650 V2 As far as I could tell H77 motherboards have only a single PCI-E 16x slot which would rule out SLI possibilities in the future, seeing as it's a 20 euro...
