What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Updated my ERL to the latest version...
-
Trying to get like 300-400 pictures from the day uploaded. Took a lot of pics and video today, taking forever to get it all uploaded.
-
I'm trying to avoid shaking to violently, been up since 5 AM to support a client kick off.
Woke up wide awake without issue, but the coffee feels stronger than normal today.
-
Getting the kids ready for a trip to the hospital (checkup, nothing wrong.)
-
Waiting for lunch! Need to go to the post office and get 2 parcels posted, and got some leftovers from last night's Pasta Bake (enough for the rest of the week...) to scran!
-
And we have a dead drive in our RAID 5 Buffalo Terastation.... (4 x1TB) oh yah...
@scottalanmiller what are the odds buddy?
-
-
From a quick google search we have a 72% chance of successfully rebuilding....
Or a 28% chance of everything getting toasted...
-
That's a reasonable number. What kind of drives are they?
-
@scottalanmiller I'm not sure of what's in this unit, it's been in place longer than I've been here.
The boss is ordering a 4 bay Synology RS815+ and 4 Mushkin SSD's for over night to migrate everything too.
RAID 5 SSD.
Hopefully the stress of transferring off of this unit to this new one won't kill the system.
-
Ugh Happy Monday after Daylight Savings.....
-
It is really jarring waking up when it is light out for the last month... then today my alarm goes off when it is still dark outside.

Yeah - the cost of changing is definitely not worth it. Maybe it made 100 years ago when we were burning whale oil.. not so much today.

I've never heard of this brand - have you used them before?
Google turned up a hit about them having a 4 TB SSD for $500 at CES? Hot damn!

You've never heard of Mushkin or Synology? I really like Mushkin SSDs never have had an issue with them.

Nope. I have not.
Synology = yes I have. But only for enclosures, didn't know they made drives. -
@Dashrender Mushkin is a drive maker, Synology only makes enclosures.

This dual-drive solution will function as a single volume, but spanning drives isn't without its costs. Mushkin tells us to expect random read and write performance of about 10K IOPS.
Like 10K IOPs is so unusable. LOL
It's funny how barely mainstream SSDs are (yeah I know Scott's been using them for a decade already
) and if you don't have 70K+ they are practically asking why you bother. LOL -

OK now I went back and read the article. Not until this summer at the earliest... and it will be done is a JBOD fashion since the controller can't handle more than 2 TB.

I can't tell you how many times I've built gaming PC's for rich people's children and they insist on high capacity mechanical drives. I even tell them if you really want that buy a 256 GB SSD for the OS/Programs and use big mechanical drives for storage. They not only won't do it but also won't purchase higher capacity SSD's. It's crazy.
