    Raid 5 Missing?

    Hi Wayne, I looked around and what I was going to suggest cost too much, at least I think. It's PCIe3, it would have future-proofed you, but PCIe2 with those three HDD's, off the cuff, my guess is your storage speed would go up by 4x. The question is, do you want to rid yourself of these...

    OS transfer from HDD to SSD

    Technically you can, but listen to jankerson, or you'll need to first create a few partitions, move the Page and settings Files and then spend 3 hours on the registry and you'll have a 50/50 chance it will work. This is one of those, just because you may be able to do something does not mean you...

    Pc doesnt boot when adding any drive at all

    I don't this is a storage issue. This probably won't work, but try it if you can. Reset the BIOS (pull the battery, don't press any reset buttons). Attach the drive to an on board SATA, not as the last component. If that still gives you the same problem, if you have a drive in a USB enclosure...

    Raid 5 Missing?

    wayne2ooo8, I apologize upfront and I know you will not want to hear this, but Software or BIOS RAID is not dependable. Your creativity aside, you seem to have mounted a CDFS, which I've never seen done with striped parity RAID-5, but moving on. I'll do a quick search for you, and come back...

    How do I delete a backup off of my sea gate external drive?

    Try this link, it came up as a first hit http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/212797en They are in folders as CountMike stated, but worse case, if for some reason you can't find them, most all file backups like this create partitions. Launch a DOS Prompt as admin, then: Type>...

    Help with new build using older OCZ SATA3 SSD's

    "I'm just curious about the actual (verified) performance difference between n drives, or a single drive of the same aggregate size. In an enterprise situation, where you have a LOT of data throughput...sure. Otherwise, not so much.[/quotemsg]" Absolute agreement on that.What is interesting is...

    Help with new build using older OCZ SATA3 SSD's

    Hi, I'm hoping to get some help and advice on a new build regarding storage. My last build (almost 4 years old now) I completed with the core system components being an ASUS LGA 2011 P9X79-E WS, the Intel Core i7 3960x, and the LSI MegaRAID 9271 8i PCIe3 Controller. (SAS to SATA600) The...

    If you RAID0 2 4TB HDDs, is it possible to RAID10 2 4TBs and 1 8TB drive as backup?

    I'm VERY confused at the confusion. RAID 10 is one of the most commonly used RAID levels today, just about every controller I've worked with supports Nested Arrays. (NOTE: I did say Controller, I would not know what Fake RAID, or BIOS/Software on board RAID supports, since I like my 30 year...

    Can't enable wireless in Netgenie.

    Trexx, If doing a restore does not work, by all means download Malwarebytes and check for malicious software. I don't know what you're using, but be mindful of the holes than come with XP since in their "NON-wisdom" MSFT decided to stop supporting it. If you go back to an earlier date after...

    RAID Controller Card Selection For Workstation Using ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS Motherboard

    Computergiant, Are you building a Workstation to run ERP? I ask because the F16C instructions that the Xeons in that 15K machine you indicate you wish to model are not scheduled for release in even the most complex supply chain apps for about 3-5 years. Mathworks does not yet use the set...

    Help on NAS/Server build

    Excelent! Much more comfortable than your sounded earlier. I have some comments I'll send along to you which you can hand on to and I have two questions, which become more important, since the Rocket RAID card is better than Fake BIOS RAID, biut it exposes your storage array to malware or...
