Does anyone have a copy of the SMD-E Interface Specification, which is CDC/Imprimis/Seagate document 64712402? The spec for the earlier SMD interface is on Bitsavers, but it doesn't look like the SMD-E spec is there. Thanks! Eric

I have been looking everywhere for reasonably cheap (cost wise) esata/ usb, 4bay, RAID 1 storage solutions and while there are some undisputedly top notch options out there they seem to start at $500 on up and none seem to support 2tb internal drives. I happened upon one post in the...

How to make an informed choice of SAN switch ports by Nicholas Buckley
Hi everyone, My main SAN is built around 2 x Brocade 48000 directors - 6 x 32-port cards per chassis. Whilst Brocade's documentation is very helpful on e.g. grouping connections on ASICs to avoid traversing the backplane - and saving a whopping 1600 nanoseconds into the bargain :-) - it has...

RAID level for personal archival? by Derrick Coetzee
Hi all, I'm building a RAID solution for personal archiving (general large things like raw photos, full disk backups, DVD rips, that sort of thing). I picked up a 7-disk NAS tower that I'm filling with 2 TB desktop-class SATA disks. Much of this is irreplacable data - RAID failure would be very...
