Those are both $60/TB, so not really a price difference at all. EDIT: In fact, once you factor in the cost per port of whatever you are plugging them into the 10TB drives are cheaper.

That place looks awesome.

Boss' place. Several TVs run off single receivers, so the job wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Nope, just workstations.

Amazon. I'd hold off until I hear back from their tech. He wanted to talk to me yesterday, but I was busy spending 10.5 hours installing 15 DirecTV receivers in a large house.

General performance improvements, UI/etc. For a specific task? It may get closer to saturating a full 10GbE connection?

Any chance you can have the NAS replaced under warranty and put the drive into the new one? I'd also suggest that before you try too much, make a complete image of the drive just in case your recovery efforts break something.

Nearly. From what I've seen, they don't mix the mic back into an HDMI stream. Instead they just play both directly.

The easiest way to recover data from a NAS where you haven't lost your redundancy is to leave the drive in the NAS. Pull the bad drive, leave the good one. Either copy off the data you care about or (better) put in a replacement drive and let the system rebuild the array on its own. You may have...

While I'd love for the car to charge at >100A, I'm hoping they stop short of that for now; I only put 100A of power into the garage where the charger goes.

I'll wait 48 hours before ordering.

Based on what I've seen, it would be difficult to make an argument that it performs at least as well as a normal 1/2" ID flex system. Even if the gains were marginal I'd do it for the looks, but if hard piping requires a sacrifice in performance for looks, I can't bring myself to do it.

I would as well. I'll be testing that once they resolve the RAID-0 issues.

More computing power is always better, unless you care about power consumption or price. The thing about appliances like a NAS is that the use case is very specific, and the hardware should be able to be tuned to match it. For example, if you put a 10GbE interface on a NAS, it should be able...

QNAP tech support responded and want to remote into the machine using TeamViewer. We'll see what they have to say.

I've submitted a ticket, and we'll see what they say. Honestly, a quad-core @ 1.7Ghz should have no issue keeping up with 1GB/s in RAID-0, particularly if the NIC is hardware accelerated. RAID-5 or -6 I can understand bottle-necking of writes (due to parity calcs), but this isn't expected...

HGST HUH728080ALE600 A4GNT7J0 HGST He8 Ultrastar 8TB Should be quick enough.

I've had many random issues that were fixed when a USB storage device, even one that had been in the system a long time, were removed. I don't even keep card readers connected to my system anymore, as that was one of the first steps when troubleshooting anything.

Interesting that any of them are even talking about 7nm. Things I've heard indicated that no one has a clue how to do production-level chips below 10nm.

Running a copy to the NAS from the workstation ran two of the cores at 90-95% and the other two to 50%. It says these are hyper-threaded cores, so that is basically maxed out. Reading data from the NAS to the workstation kept the average CPU utilization around 50% on all the cores. This was...

Yup, thanks for that. This has been a challenge since they added so many HDMI inputs that I had to go to a receiver over the old mixing board. Sounds like using the receiver as an HDMI switch with audio breakout then going back to the mixing board is a winner. Shame I can't pipe it back into the...

It should work directly. Mine worked straightaway this afternoon, but my network was labeled as "work" instead of "public". You should be able to change it by clicking on the link that is the network type name. This video is very poor, but factually accurate if you need additional guidance...

Your link is busted, but I assume you meant to link to a switch that has many Gigabit ports and at least two SFP+ ports. This is the easiest way to implement 10GbE. You may have actually linked to one of these? http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/smart/S3300-28X.aspx#tab-techspecs

Another thing worth noting is that I suspect that this system will draw <300W at the wall even with full synthetic benchmarks running. Idle will be <100W. These are both way less than half of what my current home rig draws, and I expect the performance to he higher for its intended workload.

After I left I was reading the manual and found out how to check. I'll do that tomorrow.

Thanks for those links. I'm not really aiming for silent (this case has too many open sides for that), and I did set the radiator back from the front grill by 1cm or so allowing it to pull air from anywhere in the case if resistance is an issue. This is also helped by the awesome...

I'll probably do that tomorrow. I gave up for the night and came home.

No worries. I thought it dropped for me last night around 10PM PST. That could have been on my end.

Nope, no AES. Could it be Jumbo packets or something? I doubt it as the send and receive are different speeds; if it was network related they should be limited to the same value, no?

The other HDMI source is a wireless HDMI bridge that I'm not in control of. My current thoughts are to strip the audio from the HDMI, mix it in the mixing board, and then send it via RCA into the receiver. Then program the receiver to play the audio from the RCA while playing the video from the...

Down for about 16 hours I think...

As a performance test for the QNAP TS-831X, I set up a RAID-0 of 8x 8TB drives after updating the firmware to the latest. I then set up the direct connect networking described above using the 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 addresses (with no gateway or DNS) on the workstation and NAS respectively...

You've nearly done it. The part you are missing is to make sure that the static IPs used for the direct connections are in a separate subnet altogether. For example, if your normal network uses the 192.168.xxx.xxx, you can use the range 10.xxx.xxx.xxx for the dedicated links. Then you use the...

We can probably sort out your networking issues pretty easily. What configuration did you have in mind? The easiest for administration is a setup where the computer and NAS both connect to a switch that has the right ports. A solution that requires less hardware takes a little setup...

Switched the chassis to a Corsair Carbide Air 240, and rotated it so that the windows is on the top. This is an astonishing case for the money. The look is distinctive and to my taste, the case shows the motherboard very well while hiding everything else. The 2x120mm Corsair Hydro AIO CPU cooler...

I've always enjoyed games where you can build things. I've also enjoyed games where there are multiple levels of understanding and design involved in success. EVE Online is way too good at these things, and is taking most of my game time from other things. If anyone here is interested, I now...

There can, but typically it only effects a single PCIe slot (they are electrically connected, basically the same slot in two different form factors). Just move the card to another slot.

I have a system that uses a standard receiver and HDMI to switch between sources, and amplify the speakers. The customer would like to add talk-over capability to one of the HDMI inputs. We already have XLR mics, but is there a box that can add additional audio to an HDMI stream without removing...

I purchased it as soon as you linked it. I've been looking for something in this configuration (10-gig, 8-drive) for a while and it was not a hard decision. I'll be populating it with 8TB HDDs and a direct-connect cable to a high-end machine with SSDs in RAID0. We'll see how it performs. Might...

TDU and TDU2 were both fun games, but quite dated at this point. Some of the Need for Speed games had a lot going for them in this regard.

Works fine. By the way, I now have a QNAP TS-831X sitting on my workbench. I'll be populating it later today if anyone here wants tests or screenshots of config screens.

Rainbow tables for common passwords are not only common, but usually google-able. I'm sure I've posted this before: https://youtu.be/8ZtInClXe1Q

Not only was it more than 3 years ago, but that entire setup would fit in half a rack and cost less than $100k. The thing that makes you most susceptible to this kind of attack is having a file that you can beat on. If there is a file that you can copy into a system such as this and try as...

Yup, that is the one I've been buying. Not the cheapest, but I haven't had any issues.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did throttle in normal use. Before I put a heatsink on mine it was idling at 65C. Granted, this is a low-airflow very quiet case, but not unreasonably so.

No vulnerability has ever been found. Someone did get to the parts of the database that need to remain open, that is it. And it was a year ago.

Some kind of password management system should be considered required at this point if you have things of value accessible over the internet. Keepass is one, I use LastPass. Any of the recent hacks highlight four attributes that passwords need: Unique - You should never use the same password on...

Did the Annapurna Circuit from Pokara when I was younger, including a detour to base camp. Probably won't do another 30+ day hike again.

Integrated 16x10GbE seems to be screaming for the supercomputer space. Or just really extreme routers?

5000k at home, 6500k at work. Lower than 4000k makes things look wrong.
