I'd like to see the parity breakdown for that config (4x2TB plus 2x4TB)....
Thanks.... interesting system.It looks like there's no benefit from the Synology Hybrid RAID on my hypothetical 3x1TB plus 1x4TB drive setup over conventional RAID5:
Yeah, it's interesting- but there must be limits and loss of efficiency with a mismatched set?If I have a four drive 1TB conventional RAID 5 array- that gives me about 3TB of storage (3 disks for storage 1 disk for parity and less 10% overhead). Now suppose one of the 1TB members fails- I just pop another 1TB drive in and the array rebuilds with no loss of data.Now try the above four disk setup with three 1TB drives and one 4TB drive. How much storage would you end up with...
I'm far from a RAID expert- but as far as I know- other than JBOD any other conventional RAID configuration will base it's member size off the smallest disk drive in the array- so if you build a new array with 4TB disks and then added your old 2TB drives, it would see the new 4TB disks as 2TB size.When I went from four 2TB disks to four 4TB drives in my array (NAS4Free) I eventually reused the old 2TB drives in different computers around the house as upgrades.If I was in...
Heard the sad news yesterday, Bill Guarnere passed Sunday (3/8/2014) at the age of 90. William Guarnere a member of Easy Company, was a World War II veteran popularized by the "Band of Brothers" miniseries. Not many men left from Easy Co. now.. RIP Bill Guarnere! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Guarnere
One popular DIY choice is Z-wave protocol- many use the Vera 3 device for the Z-wave controller. If you're still in the wiring phase- make sure all three wires (hot, neutral and ground) all go to the switch locations- you'll need them for the switch module. Here's the forum for the Vera controller... http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=b29e961ec945be707aa6fc397bdab3b7&
A lot of the "better" 60's shows were shot on 35mm film which is higher rez than some current HD Digicams used for TV productions. They also amped-up the color saturation during film processing to produce more vibrant colors that really popped off the screen for the "wow effect" on the new color TV's and to separate themselves from shows still shot in B&W. The DP's were not into "mood/natural lighting" so the sets were well light too. I remember reading "The Making of Star...
I actually thought the Matrix Revolution episode was one of the best in the series so far. I actually didn't want to choke the life out of Aaron every time he spoke, and he finally seemed to grow a pair and fought back for a change. I also liked the self deprecating description of himself... "I get the crap beat out of me constantly" and Charlie: "some chick in a belly shirt". And who knew his ex cleaned up so nice?
Guess I haven't really been paying attention, how long has it been "Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting"?
Not so unbelievable with Tracy Spiridakos because she's certainly not 85lbs, but with Maggie Q (Nikita) and Kristin Kreuk (Beauty and the Beast) it is kind of ridiculous because the two of them together couldn't weigh much more than a sack of potatoes..
