LOL!

I'm glad we got this all figured out, bring on the speed! (and no more downtime, it means I actually have to do something at work)

 

[dxaveP5]

[beh]

Thanks Antoine! Donation sent

 

[Sport6]

Awesome! Though the down time meant I actually had to do work... If I get fired, I will blame it on the new server.

needs a velociraptors not regular 7200RPM drives

[Outlawstar98]

about time!

 

[KZL_99ES]

pish-poush! my watch has better specs that this!!! ...jk


and yay! more storage means more members! and more people on at the same time!

 

[yudkib]

needs a velociraptors not regular 7200RPM drives

how about 4 drives in raid 0+1? or take these two and use raid 1....

looks like a great setup. what software runs the server?
(what OS and server package)

by the way, would whoever's in change want a dedicated OS drive so you could put the new ones in RAID and have them be content only? i have a few 40GB laying around, nothing great but i could donate one.

 

[JCell]

i wish i knew about computers enough to know how fast that is.... lol

i really dont have problems with the current setup, but more speed is always welcome
