Does anyone have an old 2gb stick from their N40L they're looking to sell? I just picked up one up on Craigslist for cheap and am looking to upgrade the ram.

WD introduced a new "Red" line of drives today specifically for NAS users. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=810 1, 2, 3TB configs and 3yr warranty. These are WD drives with firmware that is specific for NAS use. A lot of features borrowed from their RE line with some new stuff thrown in. Performance is somewhere between Blue and Black territory while power consumption is comparable to the Green drives (if I'm reading that right). They've also been pre-qualed with all major vendors. Anand has an overview: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6083/wd-introduces-red-nas-optimized-hdd-line Storage Review has a quick review: http://www.storagereview.com/western_digital_red_nas_hard_drive_review_wd30efrx

For anyone still on the fence about Crashplan: Crashplan is running a special for one free year of their online Crashplan Central backup service which usually runs $5/mo. This deal is good for one computer only, but if you have multiple PCs in the house backup to that one computer, you can have everything online. I have this installed on a Windows Home Server box that backs up my important docs and pictures. I've used Crashplan for a little over a year now and it's great. You can setup PC-to-PC backups on your LAN and also setup to external or online back. Online backups are unlimited in storage and upload/download speed. If you have a large amount of files you can even mail them a harddrive to pre-seed your backups without waiting weeks to do it. It's also cross-platform and they have clients for Windows, Mac and Linux. This deal is supposed to be for Carbonite users, but it works on all new or currently free plan customers. Crashplan has the right to revoke the deal at any time blah blah blah. https://www.crashplan.com/carboniteswitcher/
quote:We're so sure you'll like CrashPlan better than Carbonite, we're giving switchers a free year! Also, the Crashplan Family plan (2-10 machines) is only $50/yr with that link instead of the normal $120/yr. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Sep 12, 2012 |

Ninja Rope posted:Last I checked Spideroak only had a single site/datacenter. Dropbox uses Amazon but who knows if they're in multiple availability groups or not.

We store our customers' data in highly secure data center facilities around the world." which seems to indicate there's more than one datacenter.

Splinter posted:Crashplan question: I'm backing up data from one computer to my server, then have the server configured to send that backup folder to crashplan central. However, crashplan only thinks that folder has ~1KB of data to backup, despite it saying there's 80GB backed up right below in the inbound section. I'm using the same setup as you with no issues. I have 5 computers backing up to my server, mixed PC and Mac and some offsite even. The server backs up that folder to Crashplan online. All the same account.

Thats an excelent price, I think i'll forgo my size requirement and get one of those. I'm running 4x4TB in my n40L, you should not problems with that. It's a 4 bay and you can also install another drive in the DVD bay and connect it to the internal SATA port for 5 total. You can get 6 if you use the eSata connector as well.

Would running Plex Media Server on an SSD have any benefits over a traditional hard drive if all my media is accessed remotely via Apple TV and Roku? The SSD in my server just died and I'm considering if I should just go back to mechanical if there's no real benefits.

Thermopyle posted:I'll tell you why I decided against it when I was migrating from Windows Home Server even though Drivepool was a natural progression from that. I wasn't about to trust my data to some small closed source company. I had no idea if their technology was good or not, but I didn't really have any confidence in them. I've been using it for a few years now and it's worked out well for me. Even had a couple disks died and did some expansions stuff and it worked out well. Development has seemed to slow a bit, there's been a beta for about a year now that hasn't gone full release and the last update was sometime in October. Everything looks pretty solid though and I'd consider the product feature complete by this point. The developer does use an activation server so if that ever goes down you may have some issues.

If you pair it with DrivePool you can also pool multiple cloud drives into a single pool or make the cloud drives part of your local pool and specify which folders are backed up local and in the cloud. It's pretty neat.

necrobobsledder posted:It's going to be the 10th birthday of my 1 TB WD Black I got for just a tad over $110. That's kind of impressive how poorly drives advanced in the past 10 years price-capacity wise. The price/gb has dropped 65% in those 10 years but there's still a floor on how much it costs to make a drive. A 1TB drive isn't 1/2 the cost to make as a 2TB drive, it's the same internal parts just one extra platter. On the other side the technology involved to hit 8/10/12tb drives has gotten more expensive to develop with helium fills and shingled recording media.

BobHoward posted:LMAO. Before HGST was Hitachi it was IBM's HDD business unit. IBM included the San Jose campus in the sale, so HGST R&D and corporate HQ never moved during the entire time Hitachi operated it as a wholly-owned subsidiary. (I don't know if manufacturing moved around but I'm sure it was already outside the US at the time of sale.) They appear to have finally moved after getting sold to WD... to WD's campus... which is also in San Jose. WD bought Hitachi and Sandisk and is basically divesting themselves of manufacturing now. They gave a factory to Toshiba as part of the sale and are actively closing down their old consumer drive plant in Kuala Lumpur. Hitachi is making most of the drives with the WD label and Sandisk is doing the same for the SSD side. The CEO of Hitachi became the WD CEO and they moved the headquarters from Irvine to the old IBM campus, current Hitachi campus in San Jose. WD is more or less the umbrella company for what is essentially a joint Hitachi/Sandisk venture. Drives have always been manufactured in Maylasia for both companies.

slidebite posted:Thanks for the info - any differences in quality between them? The WD plant units show 2-3C hotter than the others (hottest is 41C and been syncing for last 2 hours), but to be fair I think the power supply is on their side of the case too. Not really anything worth being concerned about. When WD bought Hitachi each company was already making their own respective NAS drives so they just combined both lines under the same family. Hitachi is going to be making all the WD mechanicals going forward but that doesn’t speak to anything about their previous drives, just that Hitachi had more enterprise experience to begin with.

taqueso posted:Maybe they have too many good ones and you can 'unlock' more space like some old video cards or cpus that were orginally lower quality bins. i'm not holding my breath That's called destroking or shortstroking and manufacturers will sometimes do that (usually it's to just get nice round numbers for odd-number platters though). Some of the old 750gb drives were actually 1tb drives destroked to fill a specific price point niche. Pretty rare in the era of big data drives though, it was mainly a thing in the <1tb per platter days. This is all done through factory firmware though and since it's strictly a minor storage boost and not a performance thing, no one has really pursued unlocking tools.
