@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.
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.

do they least buy 10,000 RPM drives..? Better than nothing...
OT: Just got back from lunch, sent two parcels weighing less than 2kg between them, one to Parents on a Scottish Island and one to the Fiancee in the Falklands...£20 to send them both

No but this reminds me of a client arguing with me over 7200 RPM vs. 5400-7200 RPM ranges. He wanted to buy WD Caviar Green and thought he would get the same performance for less. smh

I've been meaning to ask if anyone knew of a good 4TB SSD as that's exactly what I need for an update to my gaming rig. It has a 1TB internal spinner and I have added 2TB external and I've overrun it all and can't even begin to download everything that we have. Going to a single 4TB would use a lot less power, be more portable and use less power while storing things more efficiently. And then the speed, the current system takes five minutes to index the games every time that it starts!

I personally love OCZ's SSD's
-
Do they have a 4TB or will they by this summer?
-
I return from the US to Europe right from MangoCon, so if I am going to upgrade my drive it needs to be done before mid-September.

Oh I see. I read that OCZ will be coming out with them but I don't have a date for you. Sorry!

Hmmm wonder why the NAS isn't responding all of a sudden....
-
Ya think?
-
Back in work. Time to think what i'm doing this week
-
Just sorted ID Tags for 3 new starters, installed some visual studio updates and extensions for someone else, had breakfast, and now back at my desk
-
Getting the family ready for a run to the store.
-
Good morning everyone. Off to work down in Auburn NY today with @Mike-Davis
-
Got my quarterly reminder email that I'm forbidden to work in the USofA this morning. Every three months they send one to me just to remind me how corrupt the US legal system is and how I'm forbidden to be employed in my home country. Lovely.
