I use ReFS now, maybe considering dual parity for this array

ReFS on storage spaces?
I have my two column mirror and my dual parity still. Scrubs now take like a week xd

Yep that's right.
Have you been manually scrubbing your volume or something? I haven't had any drive failures yet, so all refs has ever done is background scrubbing that I'm not explicitly aware of.
I have hit "Mark unread" too many times on mobile. Only thing that's annoying.
Took a chance and bought the cheapest eDP IPS 1080p display for a "ProBook 450 G3 / 650 G2" because I got tired of my W541's 1990s-ass screen
All the mounts were exactly the same and it plugged up and booted up just fine, screen replacement took around 3 minutes because I just used a propeller as a spudger and the frame came right off without breaking any clips
It's... beautiful. No more eyestrain and struggling to find the right angle for the LCD to actually display color...

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;52681732]So people don't take my drive's S/N and use them to commit warranty fraud.
I'm most likely going to put all drives into one array with dual parity, so I'm only losing 16TB at most. 8TB if I chose to use single parity.
Backups are being uploaded to an unlimited Google drive account, since I don't have the luxury to buy another set of 96TB drives.
Why would it be slow? You have 12 drives working concurrently, both read and write can easily reach over 1GB/s[/QUOTE]
Just put them in a RAID5 and call it a day.
RAID5 is a bad idea, do RAID-Z2 instead.

This is a browser issue/feature, I get a single text size if I use something other than Chrome with the major downside of having to zoom to go to new posts sometimes.
Okay, so how the hell do i go about deleting a file, that accidentally got saved with a long ass file name, so it left out the file designation, takes up 0 byte, and refuses to be deleted, because it's not even there!
I've tried giving it a simple .jpg, in hope of i could then get to do whatever, but of course it refuses that too ...

Awh come on, I wanted to see posts on how long a rebuild with 12 8tb drives would go for before it failed.

You'd probably need a calendar to count the rebuild time

Background, but I keep tabs on it via event viewer and task scheduler. I can not only notice it running there, but I can both see and hear it when it's churning away in the corner of my room.
I haven't necessarily had drive failures yet, I had some drives which dropped out. I ran a full surface wipe on them and they now run fine. But I have had some old drives which had reallocated and I retired them and took em apart.
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;52681303]Labpunch is absolute utter trash lmao. Don't try to say it's better than vanilla FP on mobile.
Vanilla FP is perfectly usable for me. A few issues like "New Post" being hard to click sometimes and ratings being a PITA, absolutely, but Labpunch is obviously not the solution.[/QUOTE]
Well not looking beyond the homepage bit me in the ass :v:

As for backing it up to the cloud, well we can't have all have the privilege of 1 Gbps internet, so I never considered that.
You do know not all types of RAID are bad, right?
[editline]14th September 2017[/editline]
Shit gets phased out. RAID5 will just follow in the steps of RAID2 and the like. 0, 1, 6 and combinations of them are all acceptable.

What on earth would prompt you to throw all RAID technology under the bus?

Too many people mindlessly parroting "RAID is not a backup", not realizing that hey, putting RAID on your backup server is actually a good idea.
I mean, also on your production server. Arguably even more important than on your backup server.
My experiences with RAID were terrible and these weren't setup by me. Someone updated a bios and they had to get raid emulation software to get data back on RAID 5. I don't trust striping and parity and I just don't trust a group of drives depending on each other, the parity drive goes and you're fucked. Yeah, just no. Data centres have massive backups, so they're fine, I'm never gonna use it though, but then I don't manage servers for companies like some of you guys.
But come on guys, it's just my opinion.

I mean RAID [I]isn't[/I] a backup but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its uses. Pretty much anything that can't afford to have downtime should have RAID 1, really.

It's not backup, but it is a level of protection against failure. It keeps you one layer away from having to use your backup (In the right modes). That's pretty valuable.

Like thousands of dollars an hour that you're hemorrhaging because of a failed drive valuable
Don't forget that the real issue here is that B1NARY's internet is faster than most people here and anyone in Australia will ever get.

So you're basing your opinion off of a software raid 5? Jesus that's a bad Idea.

What does that have to do with anything here? Backups can be done regardless of internet. Do local even or get a tape drive, and keep tapes in your desk at work, or throw them to keep with your parents maybe some other family members or even friends in a sealed box. It sounds more like you're just being salty because you're jealous and you're saying it's [b]bad[/b] that he has better internet than you?
[QUOTE=Levelog;52682693]So you're basing your opinion off of a software raid 5?

Only people who know what they're doing should be setting it up anyway.
Anyway, it was a RAID using the Intel features that come with the board features, again someone else set it up for us.

The different types of RAID also serve very different purposes, y'know.

You're basically using a tin can and a piece of string.

Is anyone in Australia ever going to get gigabit?
