Clearly has some work ahead on that score lol
We've all done dumbass stuff though (I can account for some doozies) but come on, this is basic stuff....

Me: I just ordered that vehicle that you wanted.
Boss: How did you know which one to order, we didn't discuss what it was used for.
Me: I just got a standard snowmobile, even if it is wrong, it's kinda close, right? -

@DustinB3403 Did he actually buy it already or not? I'm totally unclear from what was posted...
If he bought it before knowing what he needed to buy.... well... I can't even lol

From what he said in a previous post it appears that the item is being shipped out. Of course now i have to find it.
^ this to me seems like it's already been purchased, but it could be that he's trying to design the system.

Are these new? What the heck purpose do they fill? Super weird man.... I think you called it spot on: "spec'd by sales dude for max commission"

@MattSpeller In private conversations with the guy now. He is in fact in ownership of this unit, and is trying to set it up to fit his business needs.

How do you manage to rip into people on SW without getting put in David's little moderation time out corner???

I'm not ripping into him, asking important questions to help resolve the issue.
Also Dave has tried several times and conceded that "You (I) were right, no longer moderated."

Words that he wouldn't say to me, even if his very life were at stake.

But this does sound like a case of FakeRAID, to which this person was brought in to try and repair.

Windows RAID it is...
Sadly the client doesn't seem to understand the benefit of properly designing a system with hardware RAID. They built the server on a generic Intel board and just connected the drives to the motherboard.
From there windows was installed and the array built..
And this isn't the only time that this system has had these issues.... he's been here before and performed the same process...

Not new, just horrible for the SMB. Good for a ROBO though.

I don't know if I posted this yet or not, but what the crap... he wants variants of Crypto-Viruses to show his powers that be what they do, and how they can ruin the business.
What the %&*)
