Same time as Monday. I just had a major drive failure in my RAID array, so files were lost, and I have to rebuild the array and get my system back up and running. It is going to take a few days, hence the delay.

Sorry for the wait guys, but I should be back up to speed in a few days.

NVM i got the days confused

that will teach you. The only RAID anyone should ever need is in a spray can. I like to quote that line from scotty after he told kirk he sabotaged the excelcior but I can never remeber the exact wording...

raven just grab yourself a western digital raptor. they are so fast you dont need to raid em.

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 06-22-2004 06:02 PM

That may be a possiblity, but right now my drive (combined) runs at 15000 RPM......

At any rate, I am 50 percent up right now. Should be back 100 percent by tommorrow, or at least close to it. I did not lose as much this time due to backups.

Dave · **Posted**: 06-22-2004 08:09 PM

you know the raptors (in raid 0 ofcourse) out perform some of the high end scsi's even the 15k rpm ones hehe. however i suggest you wait till later this year when seagate releases 12 new drives. some with 16Mb cache heh.

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 06-22-2004 09:03 PM

Now THAT would help.......8mb cache right now, one of the reasons the RAID fails.......overflow and bit errors. A bigger cache would solve that problem. Wish there was some way to buffer the drives.

I have a single 7200 rpm drive. I wonder if maxtor has anything faster. I don't want to change brands, maxtor has never failed me so I will stay.

I use Dual Western Digital 200GB with 8mb cash 7200RPM drives in all three of my lan PCs and so far no problems. Anyhow what is the exact time of the meeting in Eastern Standard time and what chat room etc. Never done this before so.... any help would be cool. Dont want to get fired from my fun moderator job Wink

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 06-23-2004 03:51 AM

The meeting will be from about 12 noon Eastern to end sometime between 6 PM and Midnight, depending on who comes and what is needed. That should give plenty of time for people that need to come to show up.
