<2> spamalope: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-PowerVault-210s-12x36gb-U160-SCSI-Seagate-HDs_W0QQitemZ9704711009QQcategoryZ64071QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
<2> what do you think about that?
<0> i dont like dell personally
<0> but i do like seagate drives
<2> spamalope: will U160 be fine?
<0> what kind of files
<2> spamalope: 120gb+ of 80MB video fiels
<0> should be ok
<2> spamalope: keep in mind these files are being accessed A LOT
<2> http://odin.bluelaguna.net/health/eth0-3hours.png
<0> i say buy as much as they will let you
<3> Due Dual core Amd's come with Socket 939?
<0> buy way more than you need now
<2> spamalope: http://odin.bluelaguna.net/ftpwho.html
<2> that'll give you a better idea, that's each file being downloaded currently, those average around 80MB
<4> Dude, P4 (Single Core) Conroe 2.67GHz vs. FX-60 (Dual Core) OCED to 2.8GHz,
<4> Intel Wins
<0> its a ftp server?
<2> yes
<0> yeah should be fine
<2> it's a Dual Opteron hosted in a remote location with 4GB of RAM
<2> but I was thinking of adding a NAS
<3> Due Dual core Amd's come with Socket 939?
<4> What are you asking meandu?
<3> only?
<4> Yeas
<4> Yes*
<4> X2s are 939 only
<3> well i got a MOBO and im lookin for aproc that is good and will last me but not so damn expensive
<3> so dual cores are X2s
<4> About 300 dollars? or less?
<3> less
<2> spamalope: hmm, have you ever bought a powervault before?
<0> i have 2
<0> 745n's
<4> Meandu: About 100?
<2> spamalope: I'm confused on whether this is a NAS itself or just an expansion
<3> 100-180
<4> Cause you can't get Dual Core, the cheapest dual core is about 300
<4> Meandu go look at an Athlon64 3200+ socket 939
<3> depends on what im getn
<3> why my MOBO is 754
<0> they call it a nas but it's really just windows server with some dell utils for the disks and raid setup
<2> spamalope: as in the OS is a fully operational Windows distro?
<1> I need people to tell me what brand usb to ide adaptors they have used and how well they worked
<1> cable only, not enclosure this is for temp hookups
<0> Inkvenom: on mine it is
<4> Oh I thought you were getting a 939 board
<4> Get yourself an Athlon64 2800+ or 3200+ socket 754 then
<2> spamalope: so it's running Windows 2003 Server?
<0> mine are older
<0> win2k serv
<2> I see
<2> hmm, is the OS stored on one of the hard drives?
<2> in case the drives have been wiped...
<0> the way i do mine is
<0> 4 drives
<0> drive 0 and 1 os on raid1
<0> drive 2 and 3 on raid1
<0> and 01 and 23 are raid1
<0> for the os partition
<0> then raid 5 on all 4
<0> for whats left
<0> thats what dell says do on those
<2> hmm, I want Raid 5 config
<0> mine is
<0> on that partition
<2> spamalope: hmm, so yours is running SATA?
<0> ide
<0> it just is a dumb for nightly backups
<0> er dump
<0> doesnt need speed
<2> spamalope: man, this is quite a major purchase, and hence I don't wanna blow it all...
<0> call dell
<0> they can tell you stuff
<0> read stuff on google
<0> post on forums
<0> do some research
<5> can anyone recommend a brand for hard drives to buy? i've been reading alot of negative reviews about new seagate drives on newegg
<0> heh i like seagate
<0> 5 year returns on most of them
<5> so do i but i read their 7200.8 and 7200.9 series are garbage
<5> ive bought 30 PATA seagate drives in the past 2 years and only one has failed
<6> tbh theres little practical difference between any major brand
<6> in terms of speed and reliability maxtor wd seagate and hgst are all much the same, seagates are just traditionally slightly quieter
<5> the last 10 reviews on this seagate 250gig sata drive have said they failed
<5> http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustratingReview.asp?item=N82E16822148065
<0> bad batch i guess
<0> but ppl are more prone to complain
<0> than say good things
<6> yeh so 10 people commented they failed.
<6> 286 gave them 5/5
<2> spamalope: really, is there a huge difference in performance by using a NAS as opposed to a regular server?
<0> well normally a nas has a small embeded os
<0> less overhead and made just to serve files
<1> I still recommend seagate
<1> part of the problem is
<1> longitude recording is pretty much done
<1> the bit loss rates are so bad now
<1> they have to use ecc for normal read and write
<1> used to just be for damaged data
<2> spamalope: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/print_summary_details_popup.aspx?~lt=print&c=us&cs=04&fb=1&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=pe2850-med&s=bsd&leadtime=4/13/2006&showleadtime=True
<2> spamalope: 15k 36GBx6
<2> that's unfortunately, all I can really afford :-(
<5> what are you going to do with that
<0> pr0n
<2> ftp server
<2> they're videos, but it's not porn
<0> you'd need more for pr0n
<0> heh
<0> a sunfire
<0> or better
<1> what's the max number of floppy drives I can run, can I run 2 floppy controllers = 4 drives, no I am not insane, it's a temp box to extract some data from old floppies I have then burn the floppies
<7> hi
<7> anyone have to work with diamond max 8 hdds?
<7> the company i work for has RMA'd 262 40GB hdds ... from nov. 05 to feb 06
<8> umm
<0> sux
<8> dont they learn ?
<8> im sure shipping has costed more then it is to buy it
<7> lol i wish the company would just consider jumping ship on these drives, but they are still under warranty (lol) because of the extended 3yr warranty as of nov. 04
<7> :P
<7> but maxtor refuses to say there is anything but a <1% fail rate
<8> first maxtor i bought lasted me about..
<8> 2 months
<8> i didnt know anything about waranty or anything so i just trew it out
<8> 100 gigs i could have now
<8> but its k, i already have 1 TB SATA western digital drives
<8> western digital are the best drives ive had so far
<7> i'd like to rule out configuration of the drive, but i don't know if it'd be worth putting the PSU/Mobo/HDD through an oscilloscope ... since i think a lot of these failures are bad sectors that have developed over time (or in some cases catastrophically :)
<8> and samsung
<7> i run seagate at home
<8> i had one for 5-6 years
<8> 30 GB
<7> see, just as we're talking i just got another page about a system failure ... which a good guess would be ... maxtor :(
<8> even with me downloading 5-10 files at a time taking up 3 mbps
<8> maxtor is horrible
<8> i would never buy from them again
<8> im strictly WD now
<7> eheh i knew this would be a problem when i started this job
<8> no other brand even if its cheap
<7> "you use maxtor?!"
