Have you looked at Nimble storage?

Just let your PC sleep when its idle. Use WOL to wake it up when you need to access the files. But i am not sure if Freenas allows sleeping on idle. Other wise, let Freenas spindown your drives when idle.

I have a S10-2 with Win 7. It has 1 GB of RAM and a Scorpio Black drive on it. The boot times are ok, however it can open at most 1-2 applications at the same time. You can see the CPU usage peak 100% most of the time if you have more than 2 or more apps opened. Its worse if you have a crappy...

Hi I am using the Acer W510 win8 tablet using the z2760 atom. I can run 1080p mkv movies with no issues using media player classic via the WIFI connection with dx and crystal hd acceleration. Since all atom win8 tablets are the same, i guess it should be fine for you.

How about this http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/case-accessories/4-in-3-device-module.html you can leave it outside and stack it or you can put it into a PC casing.

These companies do heavy research on data integrity? It has? How can you be sure? Just because their website say so? Do you have any proof on their research? Are you sure they are not just marketing to sell more NetApp boxes? More Oracle software? Are you sure these are not just marketing to...

The performance will not be good when you're creating/updating the parity using FlexRaid with USB drives. Reading / writing to storage pool should still be ok. You can try using testing either the eSATA against the USB 3. For eSATA, your eSATA HBA must have port-multiplier support for your...

Which version of Win7 are you using?..only Enterprise/Utimate/Professional seem to work.

It should work, i have network drives, and USB drives all connected in my FlexRaid Pool.

Well, your 3TB drives can be fitted to your 4 and 8 bay enclosures. Try the FlexRaid trial. It's free for two weeks. You can pool them together as one big storage pool and use maybe 2 disks for protection to prevent disk failures.

From my understanding, not many dedicated RAID controllers with eSATA support mulipliers. From my experiments, the few chipsets that support mulipliers are: asmedia 106x certain marvell chipsets (can't remember the models) Sillicon image si3124, si3132 jmicro J36x series chipsets and all of...

Actually, I have purchased 2 copies of FlexRaid, as I wanted the storage pooling. But can I know where I can get the non-supported free version that does not expire to do some testing?

Yes, you should give it a go on the Shadow Protect. The backup times are really fantastic. If I am not wrong, it employs a storage driver to determine the blocks level changes made to the disk and only backup the changes. Currently it takes me less than 5mins to incrementally backup...

Try StorageCraft Shadow Protect.. It images your machine and also allows using Virtualbox to run the backup files as a Virtual Machine. And also it allows baremetal restoration..

From my understanding, there's nothing to set at the BIOs level for the jm 363 and 362, just need to enable them in BIOs, and run in AHCI mode. I have the same enclosure you're talking abt but i use a Gigabyte MB with similar jm chips. It works. You can also use a sata to esata bracket for...
