I've been swapping drives in and out so much while trying to troubleshoot a windows failure, that I had a feeling I would damage one of them eventually. Well I did; I slightly bent 2 or 4 of the leftmost pins on my brand new 160 GB HD drive. I straightened out the pins the best I could with...

Designing A File Server With Best Price Performance? by Will
We are migrating shared files off of a Windows domain controller to a discrete file server, and I'm thinking through what would be the best design for that new server. Given that 64 bit operating systems are now here, I'm thinking we do not need to spend much on fast drives, but we...

Problem Connecting HP Blade to IBM SAN by Viper
I have been trying to connect our HP BladeSystem to our IBM SAN with no luck. I have tried with an hp bl25p and a bl30p. Our zoning is correct because the QLogic BIOS on these blades can see the LUN assigned to it. However when windows is booted neither the os or the QLogic SanSurfer sees the...

Coercivity of current HD platters? by Nick Chalk
Does anyone have an idea of, or references for, the coercivity of current HD platters? I'm looking at degaussers for a charity refurbishing/recyling project, and I've found a wide variation in the specs of devices claimed to be able to wipe hard disks. Before we spend UKP 1k to 2k, I'd like to be...

Very Large Filesystems by Aknin
Following some research I've been doing on the matter across newsgroups and mailing lists, I'd be glad if people could share numbers about real life large filesystem and their experience with them. I'm slowly coming to a realization that regardless of theoretical filesystem capabilities (1TB, 32TB,...

I want to build a 1.5TB storage array for MythTV by Yeechang Lee
Recently ran into the account of a guy who built his own 1.2TB RAID50-based storage array for $1600 (see URL:http://www.finnie.org/terabyte/). I really like the idea and have been thinking about following suit. Like Finnie, I want to be able to store huge amounts of DivX/Xvid files online. In...

EMC Clariion w/ SATA disks purchase advice please by - C -
Hi, my company is looking at using Clariion with SATA disks for research quality storage. This means we want cheap, but still good performance. The nature of the application is to do sequential reads of many average size 3GB flat files, say 1TB at a time. So cache on the controller is useless. The...

Cheap Way To Share Fibre Channel Storage by Will
I'm looking for a cheap way to have more than one computer share read-only access to fibre channel storage under Windows 2000. I'm using Compaq fibre channel arrays for the hardware, and those are fine for low-end use, but they don't have any option internally to give read-only access. A host is...
