    NAS requirements - encrypted offsite replication

    the amount of data that would change on a day to day basis would be minimal, but i'd run in upload speed problems with either crash plan or my other consideration... or not, if it was fast enough. the initial sync could also be done locally. I decided two single bay NAS devices was a better...

    NAS requirements - encrypted offsite replication

    OK, had a few beers and was talking about the drobo transporter thing, with a mate and we decided it would be a great idea to each get one and split the access with them backing up to each other. We haven't yet, mostly as quite frankly, Drobo's scare me a bit, or rather any data recovery from...

    Good rackmount router recommendations

    Hi, I'm looking for a new ADSL router which is either directly rackmountable, or has a kit I can get to make it rackmountable. Just trying to keep everything tidy and in one place having just temporarily installed a temporary old router & have it keep falling off the shelf as i knock the...

    NETGEAR WNDR3700 Reviewed

    shame :( Am thinking about getting myself a WNDAP350 over the 3700 (I just need something as an AP...) and was looking for some sort of comparison. :D Nox

    No Drobo Pro For Me

    I was all set to purchase a drobo pro, they looked pretty good initially. I wanted a no-hassle setup, i wasn't even that worried about the speed as long as it wasn't ridiculously slow... Then read that it could not be shared over a network without the use of another computer??!? Sorry, my...

    new access point/extender

    That's blindingly useful! Thanks! It's only a few wireless g devices that have connection problems, and I have a spare netgear 834dg somewhere, should do the job :) Nox

    new access point/extender

    Hi, The reception in one end of our house is absolutely dire so i'm looking to get a wireless access point. I've currently got a Draytek 2820n parked at one end, and would like an access point at the other end of the house. Ethernet is in down there so thats not a problem. Just after...

    breaking the magic 100MB/s

    wow, bit of a difference! changed the server OS from XP to 2008 on monday, wasn't until last night I could have any sort of play though, managed to 'lose' my raid 5 array, but it's back now! learnt quite a lot! Anyways, there is a HUGE difference now, alteast on write speed - read speed seems...

    Onboard and Intel Matrix Storage Manager RAID

    nope, ignore that, looks like they are all off the intel chip. Should still be able to split them in the raid config bios prog though. Or just put your OS on an old IDE drive? Nox

    Onboard and Intel Matrix Storage Manager RAID

    i'm using matrix raid on one of my machines, but set it up a while ago, it's also on an i975 chipset rather than your G35, so might be slightly different. What you do is enable it in the BIOS, then next time you boot up you are presented with intels raid manager program. In there I selected...

    breaking the magic 100MB/s

    gave it a go, seems to only utilise about 40% of the network speed? using regular windows file copy from the same file went up to 95+% how odd... oh well, not really too woried about speed now, just want to know if that miss copy is going to rear it's ugly head again, or if it was a one...

    breaking the magic 100MB/s

    I actually have everything the wrong way round! the server is running windows XP and the client server 2008! using the microsoft trial to see if it's worth upgrading or not at the moment. I'll give diskbench a go tonight, looks much easier to interpret than iozone! :) I did have some sort...

    breaking the magic 100MB/s

    thats a lot of info... the write value seems higher than the read?? that seems a bit odd, i'm not sure how to import it into excel either, i could probably could the number of times i've opened that program on my fingers... I *think* i have it on my work pc, put it that way... still does this...

    breaking the magic 100MB/s

    i take back the having to compile it yourself part! I decided to read the instructions before trying it out for once! so unlike me... Nox

    breaking the magic 100MB/s

    ah I did look briefly at that, then got scared away when I didn't understand the graphs anyway, and realised i'd have to compile it myself. Nox
