Hello, I have 3 offers for storage systems for primary location and 2 colocations. HP offer: EVA 6000 (15x300GB/10k, 15x500GB FATA) - primary 2x MSA 1500 (15x 500GB SATA) - colocation

This device is a sort of small HDD in your hand but it could be better if somehow fitted it with the cellphone, as it will not be hassle free to carry two devices(cellphone and BluOnyx). The amount of data that you can store in this device ranges between 1 GB to 40 GB. This 85 x 54 x 6 mm devices...

I have an old AXIS Storpoint CD server that is on its last leg. Drives are starting to fail and I really don't think it is worth spending the money fixing it so ... I have been looking at virtual CD software to just store the images on one of my servers. I have been looking at Virtual CD for...

Hello, (e)sata with 3GB/s should have enough bandwidth for lto-3 drives. I would prefer this over a scsi interface. Do any lto-3 drives with an (e)sata interface exist?

Hi. I have an HP MSA1000 with 9 drives. Eight of the physical drives are configured across 4 logical drives, with the last physical drive reserved as an online spare. I installed three additional drives into the SAN Chassis last night. Nothing more. When I came in this morning to expand some of...

I just bought a Thecus N5200 and filled it with 5 x 750GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drives. I'm having trouble setting up a RAID 5 array with the following configuration: Stripe Size: 64KB Data Percentage: 100% Target USB Percentage: 0% I followed the instructions in the manual to configure the...

I've setup a MythTV (Linux PVR Software) system that I use to watch TV, watch videos and listen to music. Since I built the system I've made DivX copies of all my DVDs and MP3s of all my CDs. As I get more movies and CDs I'll add them to this digital collection so my need for storage will...

We currently have a NAS solution that, while it more-than meets our need in storage capacity and performance, isn't as reliable as we'd like: 2 hosts attached to the same SCSI bus, using a commercial clustering software to failover NFS and IP between 2 hosts. Obviously, the SCSI chain is a...

I'm using V480s with A1000s as storage using Veritas DB edition, solaris 8 running oracle. We're seeing poor IO performance and I'm having trouble pinpointing the problem. IO looks fine when it's mostly writes, but tanks the moment reads increase: Lookin' good:

What is the minimum number of members (drives) I need in a raid 0 stripe in order to gain read/write performance advantages? Some people I've talked to say 3, others say 4. Anyone know the answer? thanks.

Thanks in advantage for any help and please excuse the cross-posting due to my ignorance about proper group to post to.... I've deleted my partition table. I've recovered this map for starting cylinders: Cyl Side Sec 0 0 1 0 1 1

Are their backup apps using SMI-S copy services to create backup images on disk and further support ILM with the capability to migrate the data to tape ? I know there have been demos at SNW with NetBackup doing this, but I didn't see any mention of SMI-S in 6.5...

I have a Pioneer DVR-A06U, which I got to store data files, backup data etc. I was told at Compusa that the CD-R format was a good media for that purpose. I would like some advice as to which software would be a good choice to use with the drive.... Nero? Roxio or other suggestions. If I am...

Hello, I am looking at setting up a system to support analysis of large datasets. The application normally reads through the source data, writes out a working temporary, and then continues to make read passes through the work file. Occasionally it will read from the work files and write out a...

I am having a problem with a Brocade 2400 switch: I can't see the drives (Sun T3 RAID units) from Linux hosts with Qlogic QLA2342 cards also connected to the switch. Each device is connected directly to the switch (no loops), and the switch sees the devices on each port. The Linux servers just...

Hey: So...I've got this IBM DS300 - primarily got it for storage and performance for a primary database. All is well and good in that department. I'm now try to work on my backup/restore options. I have some pretty basic questions. 1.) I connect another machine, I see the three volumes I...
