Storage performance

Gotta love data destruction, although here we use a drill press

Bad Hard Drives + Drill Press = Great at work stress reliever

Oh, well just dropped $400+ for 4 x red WD 2tb.... still shopping for cheapest place for Adaptec card.

Will do SSD boot + RAID10 for video production.

best of both world

security and speed

If cost is an issue you can always take the software raid route on a linux box instead of using hardware raid cards.

I sold one of these http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=71...E&promoid=1276 and 4 - 2tb wd reds to our town newspaper recently, they are loving it.

Although one of my buddies that works there bricked it changing some settings he didnt know anything about, there support service was able to get it going again no problem.

kinda pricey but well worth the money.

My home solution is 8x 3TB Western Digital Greens in RAID 10 connected to my server via USB3 . I have used the e-sata feature as well but only having e-sata2 speed the USB3 is faster. Better drives would improve my write times. It does write to the drives at 100mb/s + across the network and faster if from the local SSD on the server.
This is a Mediasonic USB3 RAIDPRO Enclosure

Supports RAID50 aswell. I'm using it in RAID10 cause I got cheap ass drives in it.

As I have behemoth SMH10, external enclosure sounds as silly idea. I already have case 60% empty!

Just paid NCIX another $660 for Adaptec 7805 card, that will take care all my needs for foreseen future.



bye, bye Titan cards.

I may watercool this card as they run very hot from what I hear.

The only thing the external enclosure has over that is easy portability. Just plug into the next computer your up.
However I'm sure that RAID card will totally crush the external enclosures for performance.

still a good setup you have there. i have a external hard drive plugged to my linksys E3000 so i am way out of the game lol. i don't need big file sharing capabilities though so it's ok.

im in E-sata

they are really god
imn more than a year now, never freeze or crash, always at work

I couldn't afford nice enough drives to run it sately in a RAID 50 setup
Had mine for over a year now. Has been on ever since the day I brought it home.
