    Yes, you are right, write-back was fault. I enabled it and now I get speeds ranging from 65-110MBps. I will buy a BBU for the controller. Any other suggestions?

    Does anyone have experience with Steelseries SX mousepad

    More feedback: pad is not huge. You might call it big but huge it is not. I have also an Qck+ Limited edition SK Gaming(450x400) and that you might call huge. As for friction, i would call it a nice pad for high sensitivity gamers(like me). Low sens players in my opinion should opt for...

    Does anyone have experience with Steelseries SX mousepad

    I'm using an Sx for some time now and it fits very nice with my Mx518. Dust tends to gather at the mice feet a little bit more than with the Qck. In the summer the aluminium keeps a little bit of coldness for the hand which is nice :) .

    Hitachi 2TB Harddrive Owner's Thread

    Just bought six for my array. They seem a little bit lounder than the other one that i've bought two months ago. Does anyone know if by using the Feature Tool you can make them quieter? Or from Adaptec 's Storage Manager?

    What OS for seedbox(6x2TB+5805 raid6)

    Which Linux distribution are you thinking of? Does it support ZFS? Maybe things got a little bit foggy. I am requesting your help for: - OS for a station which should be reliable(RAID6 or somekind of protection against the failure of 2harddrives) - user friedliness( writting commands in the...

    What OS for seedbox(6x2TB+5805 raid6)

    @nitrobass24: i do not care if i have to sell the Adaptec card because i want the setup to be as reliable as possible. I really do not want to install everything and end up with ~8TB of data junk because Windows lost a file or something went wrong due to an update. ZFS promises a lot, if only i...

    What OS for seedbox(6x2TB+5805 raid6)

    Windows is easy to use but the alternatives have some major advantages like no HW raid card needed and more reliable filesystem. Which are the top3 most user friendliest OSs from the non-Microsoft bunch?

    So you are telling me that under linux/bsd os raid is comparable if not better than hw raid under Windows? Can you please point me to a tutorial on how to make a raid array under those systems? Which OS should be then better to use(keep in mind that i'm used to windows so user friendliness is...

    What OS for seedbox(6x2TB+5805 raid6)

    I want to use the card for added redundancy. OS should be as user friendly as possible, that is why i'm considering PC Bsd. Should I go with Windows 7 then?

    2TB drives for 5805

    Hello all, I bought a 5805 Adaptec controller and now I am looking for 2TB harddrives for my seedbox. I have heard many good things about the Hitachis, I also own one so this is for now my top candidate. But what about the other 2TB drives. Which ones could be used in a RAID6 array 24/7...

    Do not buy Razer Imperator

    Well low sens players are lifting the mouse. High sens players really have no reason to lift it. I'm using a mx518 on a Sx and with high sens I rarely lift the mouse and then its just to pull the cord back.

    Can someone recommend me a mobo socket 775 for the 1220 controller? P45 or X48 chipset would be nice. The motherboard compatibility list on areca's site is a little bit old.

    Fileserver storage replacement, the 2TB and/or green dilemma.

    You mean the Deskstar 7K2000 model? Or the Ultrastar A7K2000 enterprise model? LE: read thoroughly odditory's post second time and its the Deskstar 7K200 model. Volkum runs Seagate 2TB LP drives with an Adaptec 5805. Maybe your Areca is a little picky in terms of desktop drives.

    Seedbox recommandations

    Well this is the hardware that I have and some that I will buy. From what i've understood, with raid6 i can have two drives fail and not loose all of the data. For 8 drives that is nice. Any feedback regarding controller and drives?

    Help with dir655 and bittorrent.

    I use the DIR-655 for torrenting(almost 300 active torrents,2x1TB Samsung drives) and have no problem what so ever. I did not mess with DHT, Resolve IPs or QoS. My line is 12MBps down/4MBps up.

    Recommend me a gigabit switch

    Well the router will be either a PIII+256megs with m0n0 or if I should combine the router with the seedbox it should be a P4 with a lot of ram(2 or 4gb). Which would be a wiser decision?

    DIR-655 or PC as router

    DIR-655 or PC as router

    Reasons why I think the router is the limiter: -before and after speeds -when trying to open the routers page I get very long wait times until the page loads(with the torrent client open) -also when starting multiple very large torrents the speed goes up and down(e.g:1.5MBps to 0,when at 0 also...
