Is there any kind of ranking for drive model/lots reliability based on the statistics from BitFlock?

Contact form on website fails at Validate step

Sat, 25 Apr 2020 18:19:49 +0000

I can't use the https://stablebit.com/Contact process. After submitting the form info, the next step I need to click on a Validate button but it just reload the page. I've tried two different browsers (Firefox and Opera (Chromium rendering backend), current standard versions) and also trying each's Private mode to take plugins/extensions out of the mix, but all are failing the same way.

It makes me feel Invalid.

DrivePool writing to wrong drive

Sat, 26 Jan 2019 01:15:07 +0000

Hello,

I've been using DrivePool on my home server with good results and decided to try it on my main PC w/ two 4 TB HGST NAS drives, two 1 TB WD Black drives, and a 1 TB M600 SSD (not OS). The issue is that all files that I move to the pool are written to the drive "HGST-2b", which is relatively slow. The files get balanced to the correct drives, but I don't want to slow down write speeds (ideally, the pool would write to multiple different drives at once dependent on file placement rules). Short of removing drive 2B and reinstalling, here the things I've tried:

Immediate and unlimited balancing, no duplication
Disabled all plugins except SSD Optimizer and Space Equalizer
Emptied two drives and set Space Equalizer plugin to percentage used
Installed the SSD plugin at top priority and set two drives as SSDs
The folders that the files are in are NOT allowed to be on drive 2B and files are never allowed to be placed on a disk other than those specified

I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Product to Map the drive like you can create in StableBit

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 01:35:14 +0000

Hey All,

I see with StableBit you can create Virtual Drives with no Content obviously which is fantastic.

But do you have a product that can Map Drives such as Google Drives, onedrive or SFTP

I though maybe StableBit PoolDrive might work, but would it.

Not looking to pool any drives currently, just map them.

If not, anyone recommend a good product for Mapping Drives other than the Built In Windows stuff.

Thanks

Unable to create nest

Thu, 06 Jul 2017 07:05:13 +0000

Hi Covecube,

First time user of Bit Flock but I'm unable to create a Nest.

I've disable firewall etc, just in case, but still no joy.

The error says "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." - screenshot attached.

Drivepool and missing files with win 10 and flexraid

Sat, 12 Aug 2017 01:42:26 +0000

So switched to windows 10 server and trying out transparent raid instead of snapshot raid. Transferred all files into storagepool. Moved drives to server and did install. Everything seemed fine until I started old whs OS up and drivepool tried taking ownership again of drives. Now going back to traid I am showing hidden files totaling all the data but they are hidden. I have found their are PoolPart folders on each drive with all my media but they are hidden. No idea what to do at this point. Would hate to restart as I migrated 14TB of data to new drives.

BitFlock login integration with Scanner

Thu, 12 Feb 2015 04:06:21 +0000

Hi Guys,

would be cool to be able to login to BitFlock via the StableBit scanner software so that the info that is sent is added to my bitflock nest too.

NVMe smart

Is it possible to get smart data from Samsung NVMe SSD? Samsung Magician can poll some of the critical data from the drive so I hope it's eventually possible.

Recent purchase, activation is

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 19:30:04 +0000

Wow, apologize for the topic error. It's supposed to read "Recent purchase, activation error"

I purchased the entire suite of products and now when I install and enter my activation ID, I get an invalid activation ID error and it asks me to verify it was typed correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

BF: Wear Leveling Count / Total LBAs Written

Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:04:25 +0000

Hi,

So I started to play around with Bitflock on my lappy. This one has a Plextor M5-PRO 512GB SSD. Two statistics I am worried about:

1. Wear Leveling Count: 81702

2. Total LBAs Written: 210,728,448 B (201 MB)

After running an I/O intensive SQL script, these changed to:

1. Wear Leveling Count: 81898 (+196)

2. Total LBAs Written: 211,411,968 B (202 MB)

Could it be that the interpretation rules are not fully correct ("Using Plextor / Marvell SSD specific rules.")? Should I be worried? Not sure the SSD should last for 80K P/E cycles and the idea that only 1MB was written during this operations, let alone that 202 MB was written over 2 years is absurd.

Int a grey-ish font it says with all statistics "Value: 100 (Was 100)"...

Any chance of a Synology package?

Please help understand the Drive Identifying

Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:19:54 +0000

I am building a new server and plan to use Drivepool.

I am a little foggy on a few things though.

I get that there is "theoretically" a Pedabite limit due to Windows constraints.

And I get that I do not have to assign every hard drive a letter in Windows.

And no, I do not have 26 drives...but I like to know my options and limits. Also, even at 10 or better drives, that screen would get cluttered.

So...my questions are...

If I do not assign letters to the drives, how do I locate a drive if it has failed?

And frankly, even with letters assigned to the drives...coming from Server Vers 1 with Wireframe, it is nice to have some grahical way to see where in your setup the failing drive is.

Is there any way or any add on to do this with in Drivepool?

create nests

Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:07:54 +0000

Hi.

I already have a nest with all my computers in it. Is it possible to create another nest with only one of my computers in it, as I wish to show that computer to someone else?

No SMART/Temp Love for SAS Adapters? But Yes in Scanner???

Tue, 02 Dec 2014 03:27:44 +0000

I currently have a LSI SAS adapter with 8 SATA3 drives attached. I can enable smart features in scanner and they work fine. My problem is bitflock sees no info from scanner/HDD's regarding smart and temp. Basically enabling unsafeIO in scanner does not carry over to bitflock. All other 8 SATA drives connected to MB are fine in bitflock, only SAS adapter

Is it possible to get SAS unsafeIO SMART data from scanner/HDD to bitflock nest?

BitFlock.com - Error updating your nest on the server

Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:45:13 +0000

For some time now, maybe a few weeks or maybe a couple months, I have been unable to update my nest or even create a new nest. I have run BitFlock_1_0_0_547U.exe on multiple machines, even fresh installations, and every one of them comes back with:

"There was an error updating your nest on the server."

I believe this problem has been further compounded, when it comes to how the StableBit Scanner connects to Bitflock.com.

StableBit Scanner is constantly is telling me:

"S.M.A.R.T. Failure"

"One or more disks are expected to fail within 24 hours."

When it believes one of my drives is about to fail, Reallocated Sectors Count is outside the normal range for the specified drive. The value for Reallocated Sectors Count is always zero. After opening the Smart settings for the drive in question and looking at the values for a bit, StableBit Scanner will update its assessment and magically the zero value is back in the normal range for the drive. This is happening periodically across all my drives.

I believe my StableBit Scanner issues in the same as http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/219-periodic-smart-info-warning/ but I have completely different drives that didn't give me problems 2 months ago.

I feel the issues with StableBit Scanner are ultimately issues with BitFlock.com

I have clicked the Update button at the bottom of Smart window, it does update the data, and returns the status to normal. I have also submitted to Bitflock.com for analysis and that was sucessful as well. Its given me an ID that I don't have a password to and therefore cannot check. I have done these steps and still, a few minutes later, the popup message will show up again for another drive on my machine.

When I run BitFlock_1_0_0_547U.exe /offlinesave it scans, I'm able to specify where to safe the file, and then the program errors.

Update:

I have run your BitFlock_1_0_0_547U.exe tool on 4 machine now. 3 out of the 4 machines work successfully!

I even have the same 4TB Seagate NAS drives in two of the other machines and they never give me false failure warning. Only the machine above seems to have issue services.

Auto update

Wed, 22 Jan 2014 13:23:28 +0000

Hi,

Is there any way to setup bitflock to auto scan the disks and update on a schedule ?
