When I was like 13 I had a nylon wallet with a ring indent like that lolol.

No, they are doing an excellent job. My point was in regard to your comment "With so many eyes pouring over the code, there's no chance a backdoor or malicious actor could be kept secret in the open source community." My quote was meant to show that just because you have source code, there are...

+1 For ZStandard.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy.

I may be dating myself lol but actually I had a problem like this with DOS. If you ran the original Sidekick and had an AST Six Pack Plus with 640K total, it would restart at 1:00PM + X Minutes (X being the Day # The Month) every day, with no notice. Borland fixed it in a few days but I still...

It is the storage driver complaining about something. Do you have just SSD in the box? Do you have a SAS HBA with drives connected? First, check the SMART on any of your SSD/Direct connect HDD and see if anything is amiss there. Second, make sure your BIOS/UEFI is current. Do you have other...

Come on. Thor had the Dwarves of Nidavelir forge Stormbreaker, and they have the heart of a dying neutron star in their workshop, how hard could it be for a storage company to make a deal to use that one!!!!

I would love to see this, but there have been press releases about the "next big thing" in Optical/Quartz/3D Crystal/Tape storage, promising hundreds of terabytes to hundreds of petabytes. It is always announced by a small research group at **insert company here** that always says it is "just a...

Taboo II was a classic!

They haven't said anything yet. The models we were EVT'ng are SAS dual actuator & HAMR so my guess is 2x-3x the current top-end-capacity enterprise drives.

Here you go for that. We already have some samples and channel availability should be 0-3 months from what we were told.)

There are a bunch of ~30TB (or larger) drives available (if you have the budget) Here are some examples.

You could probably make bank on OF if you do that (On Video!) :)

Honestly, it really depends on your use cases. We have boxes that are SSD only (Database mainly), Hybrid Tiered SSD/HDD (NetApp WAFL and others (Mail, File, DC & More which are SSD front end/ SSD/HDD backend.)) You need to decide if the benefits of moving to 100% flash meet your budget and your...

I use FreeFileSync for tasks such as this, it is great! Very reliable, full featured and FREE. They have Windows, MacOS & Linux apps.

Any small biosimilar or non expectable fibers (generally) can cause asbestosis or mesothelioma (or a host of other conditions.) These generally accumulate over the course of years, where there was a high concentration of the fibers in the air (usually from fraying insulation over miles of pipes...

Unfortunately, based upon your log you have additional serious issues going on with your array. You have entire array drive drops and time outs which with the failed drives have left your array in an unknown state. My first question is how important is the data on these arrays (if very important...

Based upon what you stated you only have 2 members of a R6 fail (the first two which were array members, and the spare which had not yet been graduated to an array member,) which while not leaving your any parity should (if there are no other issues) leave you the ability to activate and/or...

We just received several shelves of Kioxia CM7 30TB's and they went for just about 8G's each (just for the drives, each.)

First, please post the complete log from the card. Are the drives still in their original drive order? Next, you mentioned (2 drives of 6) did you originally have a 4 drive R6 of 2TB drives, which you were migrating the data to a second 4 drive R6 of 8TB drives? Do you just need to recreate the...

All drives fail. All manufacturers have bad runs. With very few exceptions (Such as the IBM Deathstar and the Seagate 7200.11) most drives are generally ok as long as you use drives correct for your particular workload.

You must have been rich. lol. My first hard drive (god I am dating myself here) was a Seagate ST-506 5MB MFM drive!

Yea, just wait until you see the first prices for dual actuator, 30TB drives out of the gate :(

With the related caveats, certainly. Keep in mind this will drop your warranty from 3-5 years to 1 year. You get no guarantee of a particular drive or speed, just capacity. Keep in mind that some external drives use binned drives that while meeting the performance of an external may not reach...

In an enterprise setting it makes a lot of sense, simplifying the stack. There are some new PLX switch chips coming out that are cheaper and more configurable (eg you can take a x16 PCIe lane structure and act as a "switch" which could break out a PCIe 5 x16 to 16 x1 (or on the newest PLX coming...

It is most likely something on the network (or even the local machine) is polling the shared drive which forces it to wake to respond. If you pull the Ethernet cable, does the problem resolve (easy way to see if it is coming from the local network or the local machine itself?)

And this is the perfect thread for this... Which is how Comcast sees their multitudes of customers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMcny_pixDw

It is likely a PCIe consumer motherboard incompatibility. In any case, what what BIOS revision is it, which slot are you plugging the Areca into and what other cards do you have (and what slots are they in). What other PCIe devices do you have connected (m.2, HBA's, video cards, thunderbolt...

Like anything else, it is an enterprise-focused feature set that will filter down to prosumer and then consumer with the proper firmware and software support (If priced reasonably.)

We evaluated (under NDA at the time, I think back in 2021) the KV-SSD from Samsung. Was it more efficient than block/object storage, yes. Was it worth the price they were suggesting for the Host with QVL'd drives/controllers, at the time no and they didn't come up with anything (at the time) to...

If you miss the indicator and you don't have or have a led that doesn't work you can always try DiskLED to put an indicator in the tray

Per Youtube..... The “use of ad blockers” violates the platform's terms of service, adding that “ads support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube.”

It looks like, at least for the moment that they simply deleted 1 video and demonitized a second, he didn't get hit with the ban hammer, just a channel strike.

We ended up with like 100 60GB Vertex drives (Goddamn their implementation of the Sandforce controller) and hot glue gunned them all together and called it the staff of failure.

The only thing to be wary about it to upgrade your BIOS and RAID OROM prior to starting. There were some issues with the older intel RAID OROM which created alignment/offset issues with one or both of the ssd's, screwing your performance. That later versions of the OROM do not have these issues...

Why go through the hassle of partition by partition when you can just ghost the drive in one fell swoop?

There would be no reason for such a drive, with current trends, to even exist. You aren't going to give up 4 lanes of PCIe for a drive that doesn't even come close to half of a SATA peak transfer. Even if you had a spinner that would beat 600MB/s, you would just upgrade to SAS which can handle...

It is a basic nvme/SATA to USBc enclosure, no better or worse than any of the other 10,000 chinesium adapters.

PCBWay will do anything you want, as long as you have the $$$$.
