wisem2540 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I dont know if this is a price mistake, but i am in for one. I assume it can be broken down and used in unraid? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2933300 Quote Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Currently OOS (out of stock) when I pulled it up... Quote Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was able to buy one just before i posted it here. Maybe they will come back in? Quote Link to comment
BobPhoenix Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was able to buy one just before i posted it here. Maybe they will come back in? Or maybe they are just honoring a website mistake and the price is suppose to be higher and it will become available at that higher price. If it does stay at this level I will get as many as I can currently afford and they will let me purchase. Since I'm now willing to void waranties to aquire drives. At least the next few weeks/months anyway. Normally I would never consider voiding a waranty have had too many drives go belly up just after purchase. Quote Link to comment
wisem2540 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 just dont break the tabs when you open it Quote Link to comment
BobPhoenix Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 just dont break the tabs when you open it I'm never that lucky. If it doesn't have some tape across a screw that needs to be removed then a tab breaks when removing the case. Quote Link to comment
geekette Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Can one hook up this thing via USB to unraid and do a preclear on it for say three passes. If it passes then you could just RIP it out of the external case and install it in the array. Quote Link to comment

UhClem Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yes, but USB is slower, like sssslllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (I forget the joke, but the punchline is:) Maybe you're not doing it right. That unit is usb3 (three!) I've got a Hitachi 7K3000 2TB in a Rosewill METAS enclosure. I get 160+ MiB/s sustained transfer and 15.9msec access using usb3; exactly the same as with the drive directly connected to a sata2 port. Quote Link to comment

What motherboard with usb 3 are you successfully using with unraid please? Quote Link to comment
UhClem Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Cool! What motherboard with usb 3 are you successfully using with unraid please? Sorry, didn't mean to mislead; that report was unrelated to unRAID (full disclosure: I don't even use unRAID ). [ But it was on Linux (2.6.37), using a Highpoint RocketU 1022a controller (PCIe x1 v2.0; uses ASM1042 chip) in a HP N40L. ] Quote Link to comment
