@guyinpv said in Synology one bad sector crashes whole volume RAID0:
The NAS has 2 x 4TB WD Red drives. I'm running them striped since I wanted more space and perhaps speed.
...
SATA drives speed > 1 Gbps, there was no speed advantage. Since you didn't need the space, all you did was add risk by running RAID 0.
@guyinpv said in Synology one bad sector crashes whole volume RAID0:
Interestingly, I force turned off the Synology, pulled the drives and did a quick canned air cleanup.
Turned back on and it came to life. Looking at the drive screen, the count of bad sectors is now at 38.
This makes no sense, jumping from 0 bad to 38 out of the blue.I know enough about drives to know they can recover from bad sectors and avoid those areas of the disk. It's weird to me that it would bring down the entire volume and crash the whole thing over a bad sector.
It's gonna fail again. No it's not, it's RAID 0, it needs EVERY sector. Think of it as a password, lost one character, you lost the entire password.

I understand that in MENA region women are not getting fair treatment, especially in the street and walking alone
That's a security problem that I don't think can be solved.

Does the motherboard have on board display? If so, you might need to go to bios and change display order.
I want to go back to cash only.
Girl Scouts is just a re-seller of pre-made/pre-packaged cookies, I don't care for them.
I rather go to a bakery to buy freshly made stuff.

Sure, I charge $50 an hour.

I was doing freelance work for a while and I was charging $55/hour. I had a friend ask if he could get the buddy price. I said that was the buddy price, the EVERYBODY price.
If you ask for discount, you get charge double is what I would say.

Anything plugged into the wall and uses battery is my responsibility.
What Laptops are these? Do they have COA stickers on them? Windows 7, 8, 8.1?
Why not just buy him an Auduino Uno kit and a cheap laptop. No internet needed, it's cheap, and quick for him to discover if he likes programming or not.

There are currently no term limits on US Senators nor House of Representative either. It hasn't been since 1776. Where is the outrage?
We are ALWAYS outraged. It's a ridiculous system.
Do something about it at your State since you know US congress won't.

"The other method of passing an amendment requires a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States. That Convention can propose as many amendments as it deems necessary. Those amendments must be approved by three-fourths of the states."
