Just figured out that CentOS 7 is missing a driver for the cheap JBOD we have, wouldn't boot the install script for me, but 6.5 seems to be fine. Wonder if I can do the upgrade to 7 after the 6.5 installer is done.
What kind of JBOD is that? Normally, there's just an SAS expander?
Yep. I'm thinking it's actually the super cheap fake-raid card included with the thing. It's the only card I have that I know is compatible with the expanders used. The system that it was connected to decided to die. If you're interested in how it goes @thwr, I'll just start another thread.
Netinstall is downloading the initial system image right now, I'll tell you more once the install finishes (tomorrow
)Ah ok, I thought you are talking about a disk enclosure...
Well.... without the adapter, the enclosure is kinda just a heater.

)If it was FakeRAID, the JBOD portion should just work.
Yep, JBOD just worked with it. Happy mdadm days.
If it's a JBOD, it would always need MD RAID. If it had RAID on itself, it would be DAS

It actually has a BIOS you can use to configure a RAID array, I've got it configured to just pass the drives to the system. I think I'm sort of silly for even using it in the first place, but it made for a good backup target till the system died. Hopefully it wasn't the card. Even if the card went bad, it shouldn't be that much money to get another eSATA adapter.

So I want a 4TB (usable space) NAS for medical documentation (Raid 10). Any recommendations for specific models?

Any, since you can put 60TB SSDs in them

@scottalanmiller Daddy warbucks will you buy them for me? I need a petabyte

It's been YEARS since I wrote a review and they are still deleting them...

Telling the truth about vendors, can't have that. I think the only reason my posts about Lenovo stick around is because they're in the special spicy peppers group the majority of people can't see.

Any HD recommendations for a NAS? I was looking at these Seagates

Storage isn't that simple. What are you going to do with them? Probably warrants its own thread.

I'll create it when I get back home. Thanks

Oh I'm sure this was one of my joke posts. They have so many ridiculous or false products in the database that I did some pretty funny reviews.
They had products that were like "Bob Hoffman" where clearly some automated system had pulled in someone's notes somewhere instead of an actual product and it created a review. Why they gave points to people reviewing people, I have no idea.

Those aren't meant for running in arrays of drives, might have issues with vibration causing high seek times. I don't know off the top of my head if TLER is enabled on them or not. I'd be much more comfortable with one made to go in a NAS (TLER enabled). Seagate NAS, WE Red, or HGST (I forget the HGST models
) -

)Yeah. Seagate NAS drives have a very low failure rate as well. WD are actually kind of crappy now. That used to not be the case

I use the red's in a old NAS haven't needed to replace any yet.

I have Greens that have done great for years.

@scottalanmiller is baiting right now. I see you sir. WDIDLE3.exe editing.

HGST is good. I have an array with 30 NL-SAS Seagates, only a single one died in 5 years, so not bad either. Don't get desktop / consumer drivers.
Or wait a bit, Seagate announced a 60 TB SSD today
