    How much power...

    You're right, atleast for the newer models.  The older models could easily produce over 1A, but just looked up the HP 1910 48G and its rated 60W.  Big improvement on the older models.

    How much power...

    Yeah, 120v.  Most are rated between 100 and 200W.  What model are you running?  I'm sure newer models are lower power, but most people get older models off ebay since they work fine.

    What browser are you using?

    If you're developing Javascript for the public, you're going to want to fix them for all browsers.  Firefox may be acting correctly due to a bad syntax and maybe Chrome or Opera accepts a bad syntax.  Installing the Firebug extension is a must when developing javascript and using firefox. As...

    What browser are you using?

    Firefox.  It tends to have more bugs on updates than some, especially since they started the fast release cycle to keep up with Google.  Usually it's fixed by reinstalling and it keeps the extensions and options in place so I don't have to re-setup everything. However, I like to support the...

    How much power...

    Did you already get this setup?  I just came across this and noticed you didn't include brand or model or hard drive setup.  It makes a big difference. Our Supermicro L5420s run at or below 1amp 120v with SSDs.  Our HP and Dells use around 1.5-1.6A with SSDs and closer to 2A with 4 hard...

    MAID-SAFE (Massive Array of Internet Disks, etc.)

    To be frank, yes.  People, I think in general, do trust corporations more.  Anyone with the knowledge to use a P2P storage system like this would have the knowledge to add encryption to Dropbox or any other storage service. But the reason why I said regardless of the encryption is because I...

    MAID-SAFE (Massive Array of Internet Disks, etc.)

    I think you're going to find it hard for people to trust their data hosted on anonymous sources regardless of the encryption.  Not to mention the latency / access time issues.   Is it regional?  If you have someone half way around the world hosting a file of yours, how slow is it to access that...

    How's Your SSL Rate? Maybe Better Than Your Bank's

    It has little to do with the type of certificate (as long as it is recognized).  This is more to do with the web server and OpenSSL version/settings. However, according to that, you don't have your chain certificates installed so some browsers will report an error with your certificate.  With...

    How's Your SSL Rate? Maybe Better Than Your Bank's

    The poodle issue doesn't appear to be a real problem to me.  POODLE affects SSLv3 but if you look on the list, the only browser that is actually still utilizing SSLv3 is IE6 on XP.  So you'd have to be using an old operating system with a very old browser.  In that case, POODLE is probably only...

    What Temp do you Expect From a L5420

    Your temperatures seem about 15-20 degrees hotter than any of the L5420s that we run.  We see about 45C idle and 70C max so the fact that you are getting 65C idle and 88C max seems a little high. What are your hard drive temperatures in the same system?  If those are above average then I would...

    How to clone drive and change boot priority after primary drive fail?

    Yes, you can run dd to initially clone your drive but it would be pretty resource intensive running it multiple times if you're trying to keep the files synced.  Once you initially clone the drive, you should probably use something like rsync on the mounts, not the device itself. As for dd, I...

    WD Reds 6TB in RAID 1

    Haven't used the 6TB model but Reds in general do a pretty good job.  They have a higher DOA / initial failure rate compared to enterprise models but once they are running, they seem to be reliable.  So I recommend just stress testing them when you first get them. With 6TB drives, traditional...

    Output of lscpu on a CentOS OpenVZ Container

    Judging that it didn't work for one template, I'm going to assume that /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible isn't virtualized by OpenVZ.  In the one case, /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible may exist only because the template was made from a running system.  Therefore the template actually contains a...

    Datashack.net (Kansas City) To Migrate Colo Customers with 1 Day Notice

    That doesn't look good if they haven't made any mention of this before.  Don't see any other talk about this yet so only speculation remains but reclaiming IP space and moving all with one day of notice doesn't sound good.    I'd call them and figure out exactly what is going on if you have...

    Backplane killing drives?

    I usually use WD RE or Black for servers (depending on if there is a TLER requirement).  I have read good things about Hitachi Enterprise drives but have never used them personally.  I know WD owns them now so I'm sure quality standards are similar between those and the REs. The reason I had...

    Backplane killing drives?

    Did you miss the part that I have been running a software RAID and the drives are failing SMART tests?  Your reply only applies to hardware RAID and the drives wouldn't fail SMART tests in that situation.  Saying I have no idea what I'm doing and just repeating generic information that doesn't...

    Backplane killing drives?

    That's more about TLER than anything if you read the details.  They suggest using RE because of TLER and RAFF and are upselling those products for RAID but it all depends on the configuration, it has nothing to do with RAID6.   TLER is the timing fix for hardware RAID cards and RAFF is more...

    Backplane killing drives?

    Thanks for the explanation.  I do see your point, especially with random writes versus a striped mirror like RAID10.  Sequential writes larger than the chunk size probably don't make a difference so a storage/backup server shouldn't be too much of a concern with this because sequential writes...

    Backplane killing drives?

    Clearly, the UDMA errors shown in smart weren't the result of a power issue at the DC because it started showing on 4 other drives as soon as the system was running for more than 30 days. I upgraded the system and ran tests, but didn't place it in service until this summer.  The warranties...

    Backplane killing drives?

    Do you have any source or external link on that suggestion?  I've never heard of that before.  As I explained, the calculations are done by the card or cpu, not the drives so the complexity doesn't weigh on the disks.   During a write, after the calculation, only the striped block and the...
