Youtube Video

too much reverb. I dont care much for these fake acoustic lipsync videos. At least show some percussion if its going to be in mix.

I had to subscribe in order to break the curse

Just watching some nice youtube video's

Anyone from the west coast, especially out of Portland going? I am considering it.

@scottalanmiller said in Battery Backup with SSD raid:

SSD NV protection is to allow the SSD's cache to flush safely should power be lost. RAID NV / battery protection is to allow the RAID's cache to flush safely should power be lost. Each is important on its own, neither covers for the other one.

thanks, thats what I wanted to know.

Hello from Oregon. I just came here for more SAM

Well then, welcome to the SAM party!

thanks. I just realized today that you were no longer at Spiceworks, and I happened to have stumbled on this site maybe a week ago. I had no idea there was alternative options for my IT questions. I am happy to be here.

Yeah we aren't allowed to speak of SpiteWorks here. C&D letters and all.

But you're welcome to ask all of the technical questions you want and we'll be happy to assist where we can.

fair enough. I care more about information and less about politics and all that.

I like the idea of reservations because in theory everything could be managed and organized from the DHCP server. That being said, I have not really used reservations for this purpose yet, too many other things on my plate.

I wasnt sure if they were serving the same purpose, just from different approach angles. So if this is the case, is there a reason to use capacitor SSD's in an array that has a battery backup?

I have a simple question. If I am creating a new raid 10 array using enterprise SSD's, Do I still need the battery backup on the raid card? Does it change if I use an SSD that has the capacitors for power loss prevention?
