Hi All,
I am currently running 4x 4TB WD Gold Re HDDs in my HP Z640 workstation/server. These drives are in a RAID 5 array using the built in Intel(R) C600+/C220+ series chipset sSATA RAID Controller. My goal is to convert the current array from its RAID 5 level to a RAID 10 level.
I have...
Running Windows Server 2012 R2, I would like to create a System backup, though exclude certain files/folders that are already backed up to other media. The server is running a RAID 5 with 3 disks, so I will be backing up a virtual disk if that makes any difference. I'm thinking the Windows...
Hi All,
I recently asked a storage question on the forums related to one of my 4 HDDs (in a RAID 5 array) having some uncorrectable sectors after power loss, and subsequently, needing to replace it. I will more than likely be taking the opportunity to upgrade the storage capacity of the array...
Hi All,
I am running Windows Server 2019 Standard on my HP Z640 Workstation, and this morning I noticed that my machine had crashed/rebooted. Looking at the logs, it seems that it was a critical kernel-power error, so it must have been a temporary power outage or issue. per usual in these...

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of deploying a new server (running Windows Server 2019) that I plan to host multiple VMs on. I have a RAID and/or Intel RST related question I was hoping someone could help me with.

RAID 5 replaced failed drive, now cannot rebuild array
ASUS Z390-a mb with 4 2Tb drives in RAID 5 array, has worked wonderfully for the past two years.
I had a failure where I could not boot into Windows or my Win10 setup rescue USB. I could only get into BIOS and then noticed one of the 4...
Hello everyone
This might seem a bit strange, but this setup is the only feasible solution I could think of.
So this setup is going to be in an RV (recreational vehicle), a 25ft motorhome.
The nas and the laptop cannot be in the same place, due to lack of space, and also the layout of the...
Hi all,
I have a need to build a storage that can handle RAID 5. I've read that if there's a failure in one of the drive RAID 5 can safe the data by changing the problematic drive. From what i understand after changing the drive, RAID will compiling all the data for the new drive and compiling...

Hi all,
I spectate on these forums regularly but I have never created an account so this is my first post.
I'm super new to NAS and I recently purchased a new Synology DS418 and 3x2TB Seagate Firecuda hybrid drives and set them up in a RAID 5 array. Everything was going swell until I started...
Hi,
I have an IcyBox cheap 4 bay raid drive with 4x 1TB WD green drives. A couple of weeks ago they started un-mounting on my iMac (Sierra). Stupidly I didn't think anything of it really, so didn't do a recent backup. Then none would mount (I did a couple of partitions on the 3TB drive total) so...
Hi there,
I have a HP server with RAID1 (300GB2)and RAID5 (300GB3). Unfortunatly I have to rebuild the exisiting OS on RAID 1. I have full data on RAID 5. Can I access my RAID5 Data once I rebuild the new OS W2k12 on RAID1? Do i need to disconnect my RAID 5 disks while I'm building the OS? Any...
I had a power problem with my WServer 2012 R2 which I think I have solved. All the involuntary restarts played havoc on my RAID 5 Array and I lost a disk. It is a 5 disk system with each disk being 3TB. I have never had to rebuild a disk before. So I got a new disk, popped it in, made it a...
I am trying to create either a raid 5, or a raid 6 array in my new R730XD running Windows Server 2019, but I am running into a problem. I can create a simple (raid 0), and a mirrored (raid 1) array just fine, but when I try to use any kind of parity I receive an odd error. It errors and says...

I use a ReadyNAS System which i recently changed from Raid 5 to Raid 10 to store various videos on my home network. The VLC app on my AppleTV has been able to read the files, and play them through the App until I changed to a RAID 10 configuration. The RAID 10 seems to be working very well...
Hello, I need your help please, I have had two out of 4 hard drives fail, they were in a raid 5 configuration, the drives still spin up and are readable but my NAS wont recognise them.

This is a 23.8" monitor.
And this is the same monitor but 27".
I currently have a 27" 60hz monitor which I use for playing CS:GO and watching videos.
Will the 23.8" be too small? also the 27" is 130 euro more expensive. Is it really worth it then?
