How can I clone a single drive to a RAID1 in the same PC.
Why would you bother, install fresh to the array and move your data over...

What do you do with broken screens on $2,000 PDA type devices.
Um insure them.

What are the advantages to having a PDA over having an android device or iphone?

We used these extensively in the warehouse at the last place I worked. They were considered a consumable as repairing them was cost prohibitive. They are way better than any other pda/etc as they have a bar code scanner with a 20-30' range. They typically run WINCE of some flavor and work great until they don't at which point you will want to poke your own eyes out trying to fix whatever flavor of BS they happened to prefer this week.

Nvm. I did some Google Fu and it's a scanner so I see the purpose now.

Where's @JaredBusch with his FFS? LOL

Wow those things...I just setup six of those recently. What a pain in the ass.

Haha...... um the topic and subsequent deletion seem to answer it...

A tiny OBR5 with WD Green 1TB 5400 drives, has gone belly up. The OP is looking to restore the system, but seems to be getting incorrect information.
I don't want to get involved..... Buffalo NAS and support seem to be bad enough. Not to mention the system design.

RAID5 on a backup target is a solid use of drive space. Now, I would agree that with disk prices today, there is no reason for it, but there is nothing wrong with it, as long as you understand and accept the downsides of RAID5

Are you assuming this guy has a secondary backup? If this is his only backup I think redundancy becomes more important than cost. What is the point of having a backup that fails past a single hard drive failure? Seems really risky to me. Asking to learn the reasoning

Because it IS a backup. You do not need a backup to survive past a single drive failure.
You have reliability and redundancy on the primary system. You do not need it on the backup.
Additionally, this is a on site backup (we assume, because it was never stated), and that means there should also be an offsite already.

Oh I don't disagree, I just can't even get involved with the issues. Buffalo Terastation, and then the compounded issues of drive choice etc.

You got involved, you cross posted it here and derided it. Do you think people at SW do not know that you did so? You are mistaken.
Edit for clarity: We all talk about threads from elsewhere all the time, but you consistently cross post from SW intentionally to deride them.
-
@JaredBusch fair point....
But you made this thread for the very purpose.
I won't get involved and even attempt to assist.

I did, and I am quite aware of what thread this is.
But note my point about consistently. -
@JaredBusch So you're bashing is different than mine, because of the volume of it?
Seems like the pot calling the kettle black.
-
So this one is a bit mind boggling.... Can I format the OS partition to change from FAT32 to NTFS and keep things in working order?
No... just no. Don't attempt this.
Second... you need to virtualize.
Third just setup a new DC and migrate the roles before you do anything. Attempting this will likely break the DC.
Also you only have a single DC?!
-
I thought I heard about a utility that could convert without data loss from FAT to NTFS or the other way, I don't recall anymore.
Maybe I was dreaming it.
It would have been a decade or more ago.
