  1. That also depends on what you want but if you look on ebay, you can buy used very cheap sometimes. Just make sure you get the right stuff 'cause many of those are for scsi drives..but some come with PSU 'n all  :)

  2. Mind you, I damn near had a $hit fit when I realized I needed the USB drive and couldn't find out...it had fallen out when I unpacked the box and yes, I'm a bit brutal when I unpack things.

     

    Anyway, I feel sooo much better now. This is a pretty rig and funnily enough, I happened to order (without thinking of it) a network cable that matches the color of my removable drive trays  :)

     

    Yep, I'm happy

  3. You should always have a spare ready to go in case one drive fails. That way you don't have to wait for the manufacturer to send you out a new one. You can pop the spare in and then do your regular exchange. That's what I have for my NAS and in my unRaid too. I have one spare of the biggest drive size inside the server.

  4. Ok, I have a 6 or 5e cable and I'm pretty sure that both cards are gigabit and according to my transfer software, I barely even get 5 megs per second  :(

     

    I've decided to slow down and not rush this computer rebuild which IS going to screw me up but I don't see this happening in the next few days anyway. Too much stuff that has to get done.

     

    Also, I've talked to others about a gigabit switch. Will that do the trick too?

  5. Well, if you just want software that'll help you organize the pics, that's easy but if you somehow want to do it either through the net (do they have to access it over the web from OUTSIDE your house/location?) it's a different story. I would go to the DPReview.com site and ask this on maybe the Storage forum or the PC talk forum. Millions of people over there that just deal with photos.

     

    IF you do, just say server and not necessarily unraid as they may not know what it is.

     

    Let me know if you have questions about DPReview. The other stuff I can't help you with  :)

  6. Guys, I just got my unRaid server today but I'm too stupid to get my network to recognize it. Could someone talk me through how to do it OVER THE PHONE? Email and posts are too slow AND I truly have a hard time with reading comprehension and if I TALK to someone, I can ask questions and advice on the spot.

     

    I will naturally call you if you have limited calling abilites and I don't care what country or state you're in or how late it'll be as I stay up VERY late.

     

    I'm in NC on EST and I can easily stay up till 3-5 am.

     

    Help would be greatly appreciated as I'm all hot and bothered and I want my server to work NOW  :)

     

    I"ve had nothing but problems with my hardware today and now my damn workstation can't even get online and hell if I know why. It IS connected to the router and so is the laptop and I can get online with that...    :(

     

    I swear, I HATE computers...

     

    THanks guys
