SAS / SATA RAID to Fibre? by
Will
Does anyone make a standalone 1U or 2U rackmount device that does RAID 5 and
6 for SATA or SAS drives, and exposes the logical drive upstream by fibre
channel?
I'm wanting to use one of these per server, so space is an issue and a full

OPEN-E SAN Device - Anyone?? by

management of the drives, and allow you to set up a ISCSI TARGET server.

menu options in Norton DiskEdit and Disk Doctor and I don't see any such
capability.
Can someone tell me do you know if Norton has it anywhere? ...

the host by a simple eSATA connection (i.e., RAID on the enclosure, not RAID
on the host adapter).

Calculating fibre overhead??? by
ChrisW[_2_]
Hello
So we've heard that a 2 gbps fibre can actually push about 100
megabytes a sec. We want to know how to calc this figure. So, like
with a LAN, you can calc the maximum transfer by taking the total and
subtracting the overhead of ethernet, ip, tcp, and smb. How can we do
this with a SAN? What...

Bulkiest removable storage media? by
Tim Shoppa
What's the bulkiest removable storage media? Drums etc. don't count
because you don't often switch the drum (although they certainly could
be heavy judging by nothing but the size of the bearings). I worked
with RP06 packs and some funky optical tape reels in the past, but
those were pretty measly...
