What drive would be in the Mac version of the 8tb mybook? My guess is those are slow movers at B&M stores.

Yep, both my GEBs were He8's.

Found 2 of the older ones at my local B&M only ones in 250 mile radius. About to open and will report back to confirm the GEBHMCK is the hotness.

What is the real world effect of the TLER setting being off in the typical raid situations? I have read up on it a little but in a typical Raid (either hardware or software) what are the issues we would see? I'm also wondering if I should just keep these HGST 5400 RPM drives for $270 each...

Hey cool, I actually bought a LSI-9207-8e already, what a coincidence!! I was going to use it with my Z800 but decided to go with a rack mount solution since I had a line on a good deal. So you are saying the H710P is no good for this setup? Should I just sell it off and use the LSI-9207 in...

Hi guys, I am very new to the idea of rack mount storage. I have been using a ~5 year old 2 bay Netgear ReadyNAS Duo box to backup my wife's photo business data and some misc data we have. But recently I ran out of space on the 2tb limited capabilities of the Netgear and it was annoying having...

I am a total nub to all of this stuff but everybody has to start somewhere right? I just bought a Rackable 3016 off Ebay for $130 and planning to run a server off my HP Z800 to access the drives. Quick question about hard drives from you guys who are seriously awesome at this stuff. I have...
