So I figured it out. Just like most every other problem I've had, it was something stupid I did. I initially started with a user "john" and set up permissions but decided later to use "jhooks". I had accessed the shares with the "john" username first and that's why some worked. I never added the jhooks username to samba (must have forgot since some shares were working) and that's why I couldn't log into the other shares with that username.

That will teach me to try to do this stuff on Friday night when I'm tired.

Well worse things have happened, it could've been a client outage 🙂

Exactly - two 6 TB HDD's may be a lot less expensive, but the performance compared to SSD would be insanely different.

How many HDDs would you need to reach your IOPS requirements?

Hi Scott-
Just found out about this site - thanks for the ioSafe mention. Perfect application btw. The ioSafe 214 now comes with drive options - all new loaded ioSafe NAS products contain WD Red Drives by default and have for several months now. We'll be working on updating the product description in the field over time. Also, all NAS units can be ordered with Enterprise Grade Drives as an option.

Redundant NICs are an option on the 1515+ but not the 214.

Hope that helps!
