Hey BRiT... ever put that guide together?
-
I read a review on it recently. Forgot where The guy put two of them in RAID0 as a boot drive and the performance was right up there with the SSD's...
-
I would have bought GOOD sata cables instead of scrimping on all those left over red cables from various sources. BTW, does anyone HAVE a source for GOOD sata cables????
-
Just because it was sold does not mean there will not be any more "Adaptec" cards. Unless I am missing something I would assume PMC-Sierra will continue making the chipsets.
Why are you guys saying there will be no more cards?
PMC doesn't have (didn't buy) the rights to Adaptec's ASIC.

use quality sata cables.
even without the latch a good cable will lock so hard that it will nto come off without considerable force, such as the cables that come with highpoint raid cards
i have found the best cables are the ones that use the tiny sata connecor ends, no latch and therye no bigger (stick out more) than an angled connector, they grip like hell though.
I find most latching cables usually oens with motherboards bundle the connector itsel fis poor and lose and relies on the latch to hold it in but that means they can still wobble left and right a bit.
got any sources?

No, these cards have a PHYSICAL (and presumably electrical) X4 sized tab, so they CANNOT be X8

Though your calculations are correct for a "resistive" load, a DC brushless fan is anything but... you're driving a 3 phase motor controller and a 3 phase brushless motor. It will behave anything but linearly as you change voltage. That being said, if it draws 90 milliamps at 12 volts , you can rest assured it WILL draw less than that at 5 volts .
-
excuse me but if it will fit in an x4 slot, it CANNOT be an x8 interface!
-
too bad, I was hoping it had a PCIe x8 interface...
-
Very Cool....

Got a link ??

Try changing the "chip" that the vm emulates for it's network interface... IIRC, it defaults to some SMC chip, change it to the Intel and try again...
-
Tapes are just not feasible any more.
Were they ever, really ??

My last two HTPC motherboards were (are) Gigabyte... I've NEVER run into this problem since the boot drive was formatted in another machine...
-
The later versions of unRAID support multi-processors...
-
I have a warm spare hooked up via eSATA in a small external case with fan. It's always on and in the go script I send the htparm command to spin it doen in 3 minutes.... it's normally spundown all the time. I can deselect a failed drive by selecting this ext drive with the array stopped, then rebuild onto it. The nice part is that I can do it remotely by remotedesktop into my desktop machine and then log onto the unraid web interface.

Cool... I've halted my efforts since she who must be obeyed has been a bit cranky lately - seems I love my computer more than... well, you get the idea
Looking forward to your guide...

no, but it looks interesting !!

Wow thank you! TeraCopy kicks serious butt over Total Commander...
Total Commander has worked just *ok* for me in the past, so I didn't really use it, and switched over to FTP.
I spent the day transferring many GB of data, using filezilla / vsftpd.. but it was very slow, only 4MB/s on my 1Gbps Lan. Additionally, I was trying to create an MD5 sum for the entire set of files, and it was slowing down disk access, and overall was going to take 10-12hrs+.
TeraCopy is utilizing my network now at 95MB/s AND performing the CRC calc/check at the same time, estimated time now only 6hrs!
This is the ultimate solution, thanks for pointing it out!
It's humming away so hard, my case is rattling from the HDD vibrations, I've never heard it run like that before.
It would be interesting to know HOW this is happening... maybe some of it can be used to Tune unRAID itself??
-
I just switched to TeraCopy today, now I'm getting 95MB/s xfer rate, this is up from the 4MB/s I was getting with ftp (filezilla/vsftpd) on my 1Gbps Lan.
I'm totally impressed with this software over TC or FTP or SMB.

Wow!! We must have been visited by the same alien in the middle of the night! Only yours was about a week ahead of me.... I just started on this 2 days ago!!
