    The 100TB Project

    Nope. Phase 2 kind of fell through when most retailers dropped the WD20EADS. It seems to be back, but I'm afraid of a new batch. I'll have to order a test unit to see if WDIDLE and WDTLER still work. If it does, next stop 50TB!

    The 100TB Project

    Actually... it wasn't that bad price wise. Only about $5k. You could build one twice the size (literally with 2TB drives) for about the same price. Damn hardware pricing dropping like stones.

    The 100TB Project

    I have A LOT of TV. 180MB/650MB per 20 minute show in XviD/h264 350MB/1.3GB per 40 minute show XviD/h264 x 5 seasons average x 20 episodes = A BUNCH of space. Why not? Name something better that's cheap. Actually I'm kind of debating on revisiting GP drives since I stumbled upon...

    The 100TB Project

    Why don't I need 100TB? Hell... I've been live a couple days and I'm already pushing 1/3 full. And I haven't even started looking for HDDs yet. As for pics, all I have is a Picasa link above. I do run a bunch of websites. But those use squat for data. It's more bandwidth. And I don't watch...

    The 100TB Project

    I haven't done the $/GB math on a range of drives in a while, because frankly there's only a very small subset of drives that interest me. Basically all Seagates, WD GP, Samsung, and all "odd" sizes (750GB/1.5TB etc) are out. So I'm literally left with Deathstar and WD Black/Blue. Blacks are...

    The 100TB Project

    I store things. A LOT of things. I've had large file servers damn near as long as I've had a computer. I'm ALWAYS running out of space. Until now. You've probably heard me pushing the SC846E1 + 9690SA-4I. A few here have adopted it. It's tried tested and true. Those crazy enough to need...

    EU fines Intel $1.45 billion for sales tactics

    I have no idea what it costs to make a chip, nor how well it scales. But Intel does sell 2x the CPUs that AMD does, so maybe quantity has an effect on raw chip cost? Source: Steam Hardware Survey (Granted, it's not a perfect source, but it's a decent representation)

    Anyone Else addicted to Mafia Wars??

    Probably similiar to Mob Wars which is a failgame. After a while, I basically needed to be killed every 12 seconds to not make money.

    Multi-CPU and/or Workstation/Server Category

    +1 for the idea. I always have a project bordering the ridiculous going.

    Calgary Area Members - Pints at Bull & Finch Pub (114 Ave S.E.)

    Make it the 29th (of May) and I'll be in Calgary too. Hey BrainEater, whens that monstrosity coming online? I'd make a drive down for that.

    Its actually fast now

    Ever download drivers? (or does that count as support) And I think we broke it. Too many of us checking out the speed made it slow again. :haha:

    Data backup advice needed

    It all depends on the scale of which you want to ensure you have backups. Something as simple as copying all your stuff over periodically (automated or not) is better than nothing. I hear (some) good things about Windows Home Server which (I hear) can automate backups to itself. Stupid...

    I have a question about RAID...

    HDDs (in my experience) don't tend to go as often as cheap RAID solutions. RAID1 will protect you all day long from a drive dying, but how about your controller deciding to blow it's brains out? What then? Trust me. I've had it happen a few times. And yes, != means does not equal

    $15 db-1 pumps!

    Damn... $8 Deltas. Not as high CFM as I would like, but these might work in more "noise sensitive" environments.

    fastest internet in the world

    I know how you feel about fast internet. My *ahem* seedbox that I use to download completely legitimate Linux ISOs is connected via Gigabit to the internet. It's really satisfying to see a Linux ISO finish in under a minute.

    I have a question about RAID...

    Repeat after me: RAID != Backup They need to coexist.

    Canada officially added to piracy blacklist

    How does that even relate? If there was a policy that allowed software returns due to defects/bugs/etc we wouldn't have this problem. It is? Last time I checked I can buy software in store. Way to twist my example horribly. I said that by sampling a food item, I'd be inclined to buy...
