Is there a comparable Intel drive as well that works like this one? I have a deal where I can get them pretty cheap. 4 is nice, would love to keep it to 6 and get 6TB of RAID-10 goodness for all drives (OS, Programs, Archive, DB). I will have to give options though. 6TB give like 5 years of...
Some drives have been in service since about 2010 I believe. We are replacing them with 400Gb 15k SAS drives as the older ones fail. Mixing sizes is not recommended, however getting 73Gb ones are hard to come by. The system records about 20k parameters every second. Some parameters update sooner...
So initial facts:
Cannot upgrade:
Computer with 8 3.5" hard drive slots, Intel SAS backplane and RAID controller
Older Quad core system running Windows 2k Server
Can upgrade:
running 6 SAS 15k hard drives. 76Gb
2 drives in RAID 1 (OS and Programs), 4 drives in RAID 5 (SQL database and data...
Already got auth for up to 12 feet from them. I am wondering if there will be an issue with some roofs but I don't know how well this setup pushes through stuff like that.
I am wondering how well the Litebeam 5AC 23db antennas work in town for a point to point link. Buddy of mine has crappy internet locked at 20 Mb and wants to use my subdivision 100Mb. Distance is .6 miles as the crow flys. From maps, only about 3 meters difference in topography change. Ideas?
Well, I can't connect directly into the switch due to distance. This is a manufacturing environment and the switch is on a different floor. Either way, the new box was configured and low and behold, their switch started detecting the drop outs! Now we are in the process of a new TO drop to see...
So the IT guys I think have some packet sniffing thingy they hooked up in line. As soon as they did, it errored out a lot. We replaced the network cable from the box to the network port in the floor and it stopped. They walked away saying it was fixed 2 hours later. Same exact issue has came...
Work related issue I am trying to solve. A network port keeps losing comms for 3-6 seconds and it screws up my tool. I have had all the cables replaced, new ports, even a new computer installed. Only common thing is the switch that it connects to.
Their box shows the comms loss but they blame...

I still have my 4040CDN printer from about 6 years ago and in July of this year, had to buy a black toner cartridge. These printers work great and are fast. Thanks for the heads up.
Considering all but 3 Intel factories are in the US (Israel, Ireland, and China), they have done a good job of keeping work in the states. Didn't read the article though.
Last years event was amazing, so much fun and a huge benefit to the Shriners charity. It was however not without its faults. We had terrible internet connectivity issues. We made a promise to everyone that we would do everything in our power to ensure the next event had amazing internet...
I use it exclusively every day. We use it for netflix, pandora, google music, you tube, picasa photos, etc. I can play all my MP4 movies on my server to it as well. Works great. I love having it as I don't have to have a computer on my TV at all times.
Also, when my parents visit from out of...
