How did you get that price for the U3014?

Anyone know how to buy a spare power button for the U3011. Does the U2711 use the same power button? What about the U2410?

Does the U3014 buzz when the brightness is lower than 80% like the U3011?

I would like to buy a 30 in monitor mainly for work, and I was just wondering what I should get. I definitely like a matte screen and dead pixels really annoy me if they stand out. Is the Dell 30 my best choice for a 30 in monitor?

How do I stagger the startup of hard drives?

How do I stagger the startup of hdds using this type of setup?

If the ZFS server is only on for 2-3 hours a week, will it still be able to verify the entire hard drive pool?

What is the best way to store a backup that makes it the easiest to recreate a drive if it fails? I have 5x 3TB drives and need a way to backup static data. Write once and no more changes ever. Is ZFS the best way? Does ZFS verify the data continuously? How does it know when a hard drive...

When can we expect the 4TB drives to be in stores?

Is there an easy way to check if all the data on the hard drive is okay?

I would like to backup all 12TB. All important It also needs to be able to verify all the data matches weekly.

So I have my graphics card HDMI out to my AV Receiver (Yamaha RX-573). I've also tried optical out from PC to AV Receiver. When I bitstream (play Blu-rays via TMT5), there is no audio lag whatsoever. When I just play flash videos on youtube, regular AVI files, etc, there is audio lag (The...

I'm using a Supermicro X8SI6-F (SAS2008).

How do I find out what firmware my HP SAS Expander is? And how to update the firmware? I downloaded the HP Update thing, but it looks like it wants to install a lot of other stuff too.

I currently have 8TB worth of media and i'm going to expand it in the near future. Right now I'm using Flexraid which is pretty simple to use, and seems like it will protect my data alright. I usually don't have the server on all the time, since nobody is using it, and I usually do verifies...

Also, I'm not using the HP Expander right now, but just using the SAS ports on the motherboard. Using Windows Server 2008 too. If I move the cables from the SAS ports on the mobo to the HP SAS expander, will the drives changes letters and mess up my current raid setup? Using Flexraid.

Have a X8SI6-F Supermicro Mobo HP SAS Expander Norco 4224 Case I want to connect the two SAS connectors on the motherboard to the HP SAS Expander, and then I want to connect all the SAS ports on the HP Expander to the Norco Hard Drive Backplanes. What SFF Cables will I need?

On the 4224 case, which way are the middle bracket fans suppose to face? Should they be pointing away from the hard drives and toward the mobo and back of the case? If so, how do the hard drives get cooled?

Do you know if it is safe to use the Flexraid 2.0 software?

Treadstone, do you recommend me to use Flexraid instead of ZFS if I just want to use it for my Blu-Ray backups as well?

ZFS doesn't have hdd spindown? I don't mind if a set of drives spins up when I access a file. I just want all the hard drives to spindown when they are not in use.

I'm using unraid for a small server now and I like it, but for my new server I'll have 20+ drives and unraid won't be able to handle it.

I need a NAS OS that is easy to use and has good raid/zfs options so that I can restore a hard drive if it crashes. It is mainly for blu-ray/movie backups and I need it to sleep/power down hdds when not in use. What should I use?

Power connectors on 4224 case. Do I need to plug 2 power cables into each row? I'm talking about the power connectors that power the hard drives. There are 2 for each row for a total of 12 connections. Is one ok, or do I need to plug both of them in? Also, on the right side, there is...

Is this a good combination?

ZFS - OpenIndiana

So I can just hook up the 4 sata cables to the sata ports on the mobo and connect the sas connector to the Norco SAS port?

So I will need to buy a different one that came with the mobo? Is this what I need? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816133033&cm_re=reverse_breakout-_-16-133-033-_-Product

The X8SI6-F-O mobo came with 2x SAS to 4 SATA cables, and I was just wondering whether it will work like this? I have a Norco 4224 case, and I want to connect the cable from the SAS connector on the case connections (the ones the case comes with) to the 4 sata ports on the motherboard. Can I...

What OS are you using?

Is it a lot safer to use raidz2 than raidz1? Let's say I use 3x (6 drives in raidz2) vdevs for a total of 18 drives. Is that a lot safer than this 5x (4 drives in raidz1) vdevs?

Ok, thanks for all the info. I think I'll build my server and try OpenIndiana first and see how that goes. btw.... will it have any issues with the Samsung F4 drives or WD EARS?

Right now I have like 4TB, but I'd rather stick with one and not have to worry about transferring, etc later on.

Yea, I was thinking about it, but I don't want to be limited to 18TB right now.

I think the biggest 3 features I need are the ones missing from ZFSguru: # Missing feature: Error recovery; replacing failed devices. # Missing feature: Hot spares. # Missing feature: Email notifications upon degraded/failed pool. Does OpenIndiana or napp-it have these features in a UI...
