      Apparently we're all to mean for the Spiceworks community? Thread not found now.

      Yeah the OP requested that the SW Moderators delete the post... there is a cached copy without the OP's responses to the topic still on SW under scott's topic

      Somewhere in there...

            It was taken down almost immediately. After the first questions about it the OP was too embarrassed by it. He got his info wrong then his exciting project turned out to be an embarrassing mistake. He started off okay and we were like "awesome, good job, good thing you didn't do.... the thing he actually did but had misstated because he didn't know the terms he was using."

                A golf shop has a 2 host setup? Damn are they really a golf empire?

                  And someone instantly recommends a SAN. Haha. The OP also wants to use RAID 5... did they not do any research before coming up with this?

                    Did you see RAID 5E!!! The worst RAID idea that there has ever been. So much worse than regularly RAID 5. Where do these ideas come from?

                          They think they did, but they clearly didn't bump into the known problems articles when choosing RAID 5 - I didn't even think RAID 5E was real - apparently it was just killed before I started working on servers.

                              Yeah, they have a "requirement" that doesn't even exist in a product. How the heck are they looking at all of those products which don't even offer that. Then NetApp's rep from SW pops in and says that the OP "did his homework" ignoring the fact that his own requirements are nonsensical, impossible and specifically rule out the product that she is there to sell.

                                that Netapp person though, as you've educated me, isn't real - they are just some chickity who is there to respond with kind words and make people feel good about their posts.

                                  True, but isn't doing a good job of promoting the product, especially when NetApp has a reputation for being out of touch and inept already. Just adding to it by posting nonsense.

                                    Sounds like she's doing a great job then... at being totally inept. 😄

                                      Speaking of which, I haven't seen Chelsea posting in forever. I wonder how many of those people just quit versus how many change their online identities in the community once they make big enough faux pas.

                                        Honestly, I bet they have a massive turnover rate just from their entry level staff getting married and not working any more. The "went to college to find a spouse, didn't, and am now just working an entry level job so that I can meet people and get married and stop working" demographic is strong and the general business-preparedness suggests that that is the common goal.

                                          Is that really a thing? I've only met one person like that before.

                                            Hoping I can avoid it, but might be looking for another job soon. Wouldn't mind finding a place like that...... I may be becoming the creepy old widower tho.
