  • Hi Lee,When I read your first post about your system I thought to myself that you indeed had probably outgrown the typical storage setup. Thanks for the info on your inexpensive SAS setup. Easier to cool, easier to add lots of drives to and works gr…
  • By "at capacity" I meant I can't add more TB of storage, I won't fill it up for possibly another two years.
  • Hi Lee,I've spent a moderate amount of time on WHS oriented forums but don't remember threads about using SAS storage components with WHS. Is your 24 bay drive array box also a Chenbro?My setup grew from an initial install of WHS 2011 on an OptiPlex…
  • Hi Lee,I suspect that my WHS 2011 should be running on better hardware than a Pentium D if I want to stream Bluray rips. It works though, if one has a high bit rate I might have to pause once during the movie for a few seconds to let it catch up. I'…
  • Interesting, the system I described above plays DVDs flawlessly with the Greens. Perhaps JazJon can comment on video playback performance improvements after replacing Greens with Reds.
  • Hi Drashna,When you say the greens drop to 10-15mb/s read are you seeing that as reported by windows or Teracopy while transferring files or are you using software to measure the drives?My benchmark for acceptable performance is if I can watch an MK…
  • Hi Drashna, Thanks for confirming wdidle3 as positive measure. I will purchase Reds going forward. The drives are duplicated using DrivePool and I have media backed up via a box of 300GB, 500GB and 1TB drives that I've replaced with larger drives an…
  • Used a computer whose OS drive was a Seagate - booted a bootable USB Flash drive with WDIDLE3 on it, connected one drive from WHS 2011 at a time in SATA dock and ran: WDIDLE3 /S300Instructions from here:http://www.synology.com/support/faq_show.php?q…
  • Back from a quick journey through numerous discussions all over the net. Does anyone here have any comments on running the WIDLE utility to increase head park from 8 seconds to 300?
  • Thanks for the answers. I never thought about the difference between max bit rate on Blu-ray vs a USB 2.0 drive. I was having issues running Blu-ray ISO's from the local drive of the HTPC we use the most. I thought it was the processor (Core Duo 2.2…
  • I figured that - the undelete tool should see two deleted files. Now that you've confirmed that I'll try it again.I know if you schedule duplication the copy isn't made until the duplication scheduled time. How about if you delete a file in a share …
