#

one other dumb thing i really want
but would probally be dumb

would drive compression be acceptable on a raid array

or would that just inflate rebuild times

well then unraid it is then
ok is a core 2 quad a good enough proccessor?

unraid is not free

oh right so two sketchy memory sticks would be cheaper

untold grove Dec 25, 2020, 2:55 AM

well unraid is also better for what ur doing

#

iirc u get 2 trial extensions

#

and

it only ends the trial when the array is stopped

1 year uptime ftw

lean quest Dec 25, 2020, 5:09 PM

Raid 5 is still only single disk loss allowed

So it depends on how valuable your data is

If you can tolerate the risk of 2 drives failing at once causing complete data loss then yea that’s probably fine

but what are the chances of 2 drives failing

Quite low

And you just replace a single failed drive if only one fails

But also what do you need 18tb for 🤔

ohhhhh

well thats gonna be a pain in the azz because like not all the drives are in hotswap bays
there in multiple places some of them even upside down because wierd hard drive mounts in case

so putting a serial number on the front of them would be a pain

would i end up having to do something wierd

like make a map thing of where each drive is?

if u dont have the hotswap it just wont let u keep uptime

the hotswap bay 3 of the drives are in

so anyone know does a slow cpu affect raid rebuild times

#

when you have a hardware raid controller

#

?

untold grove Dec 27, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

not enough to care abt

#

However, there is one catch. The size of the RAID array matters when it becomes big, 10+ drives or more. No matter if you use hardware- or software- based RAID, the processor must read the contents of all drives simultaneously and use that information to rebuild the replaced drive. When creating a large RAID array, such as in my storage array, with 20 disks, the check and rebuild of the array becomes CPU-bound.

This is because the CPU must process 1,1 GB/s (as in gigabyte!) of data and use that data stream to rebuild that single drive. Using 1 TB drives, it checks or rebuilds the array at about 50 MB/s, which is less than half what the drives are capable of (100+ MB/s). Top shows that indeed the CPU is almost saturated (95%). Please note that a check or rebuild of my storage server takes about 5 hours currently, but that could be way shorter if the CPU was not saturated.

question so I recently got a 970 evo and I already have a boot drive how do I get the 970 evo as my boot drive without loosing data?

thick mulch Dec 28, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

Ok, it is easy. Download mobi-mover US and select clone. Mark the target and host drive and then let it copy. And boom, you have 2 bootable drives! @open palm

#

After that boot to the 970 in bios and then you might have to assign the old one a drive path in part.manager to get it to show up but then you can do what you want!

Hey guys, I bought a 12TB External Drive to hook up to my router via USB... but now I’m thinking of returning it and looking into getting my first NAS. I’d appreciate anyone’s opinion on where to start. There’s a lot of information out there... 2 bay NAS in RAID1? Is Synology a good way to start? I do have an old computer tower but it’s big and takes up space. Currently have a router that supports link aggregation.

chrome verge Hey guys, I bought a 12TB External Drive to hook up to my router via USB... but ...

oh hell yes

#

ok so

#

first off 2 bay is kind of a waste of money imo

#

imo 5 bay is the way to go

#

you get 4 data drives and 1 parity

#

with 2 bay youre stuck with either chopping your usable storage in half to have parity

#

or (even worse) getting all the storage on offer but losing out when it comes to reliability

#

if one drive fails in a raid 0

#

all the data is gone

keen lantern Dec 28, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Exactly why we have lili. I'll agree with her tho if I had the money I would get a 5 bay NAS because of what she mentioned earlier.

the thing is

even a 2 bay synology nas is 400
