a friend asked if drivepool is compatible with windows xp 32 or 64 bit

I have a reg Phenom 2 945 3.0 it overclocks well. u may need a good cooler. and ive had good luck with gskill ripjaws at ddr 1600 (red ones) im using a 4x4gb kit with my phenom or consider the trident kits btw my phenom have a 1333 base fsb not 1600 like my ram

my WD Green just gave me a load cycle count warning of 305079.... should I remov the drive soon? or run till it dies? and do I have to worry about my wd black?

Currently my pool is only filled to 262GB. im currently running win 8.1 enterprise 90 eval and plan on upgrading to win 10 pro...so if I get a 2 or 4 bay external case with either a 1 or 2 TB drive will last for a lil while...

mediasonic says it supports 6TB drives

Hey guys I found a external enclosure im looking at for backup purposes... its made by mediasonic model (HF2-SU3S2) its a 4 bay external usb 3.0 and Esata enclosure... my ? is will this be a good idea as a backup for my drivepool ? it says it supports 4 by 4TB HDD...just curious what u guys think of it and if there I a chance it woul go beyond 4TB HDDs? I found it on Newegg for 99.99

sed im running a Xeon socket 1150 E3-1246v3 @3.5ghz on a Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5 micro ATX motherboard with 32GB Gskill ddr3 1600 trident ram my only small issue is that the network card isn't autoloaded by windows 8.1 or 10 drivepool and scanner run flawless and windows 8.1 enterprise trial is running well ... this config should work and cpu was about 275 and board was 127.99 cpu was 2x8gb for 159.99 so not bad.. I reused my Kingston V3 120GB SSD and my WD green /and black 1 TB drives... I also added 2 6 TB wd red drives.. this BEAST is FASTTTT...u mentioned getting a 5 TB red I love my 6TB... o and if u need a Case look at the FRactal Design Node 804.. awesome case for Micro ATX has room for a slot load dvd, either 8 or 10 3.5 inch HDD and 2 or 4 2.5 inch Drives.. (if u run 10 3.5 drives then u get to load 2 2.5)

hey guys I was looking at the raid card drashna recommended for 235 that was sata 6gb/s and also found a 12gb /s card for 259 that is sff-8643 to sata ... my ? is would this work with my current red drives and then I no its ready for future drives at 12gb/s speeds .... its the LSI 9341 Megaraid sas 9341-8i (LSI00407)

my point was that the reds are fast as hell in a pool

I just got my 15TB pool running sweet.. I was restoring a backup rom and old 300gb Maxtor IDE HDD in a USB 2.0 external case my pool is 2 6TB WD red drives 1 WD 1TB green sata 2 3gb/s and a 1 TB wd Black sata 3 6gb /s and 1 1TB 2.5 wd red 6gb/s. and I got 35-40MB/s from the usb 2 to the pool.. 260gb transferred in under 2Hours.

thank you for the info... just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong with setup.. guess my system is set for a long while now

Question fot u guys... I reloaded my server beast...wich now has 1 ssd for os 3 1 TB HDD and 2 6TB drives for a total of 5 HDD in the pool at a 15TB total... when I reloaded all my data to the pool (260gb) it got evenly split between the 2 6 TB drives and nothing loaded to the 3 1 TB drives. is this normal?

This server is a BEAST lol xeon 1246-v3 = fast fast o and did I mention fast

im getting 35-40 MB/s from my usb 2.0 ide Maxtor 300gb HDD to my pool while restoring my data... is that Descent????

my server is gonna run sweet with 1 Kingston V300 120gb ssd 1 1 TB wd green drive 1 1TB wd black 1 2.5 inch 1 TB red and 2 6TB wd red drives for a total of 15 TB data pool and 120 os drive with (4x8gb trident ram) yay 32 GB and the Xeon 1246 v3 3.5ghz

my abosolute longterm goal is a 25 drive setup (1 for os and 24 for drivepool) lol guess im liking the idea of collecting storage drives.

I only looked at it because I don't wanna have to replace it in 5 yrs

have you guys used the LSI 9300 Megaraid card with 12GB/s sas/sata ports (8port card) 599.99 on newegg. would this be more future proof and compatible with my wd reds and of corse future 12gbps drives..... lsi 9300 megaraid sas 9361-8i

? for backup purposes should I go crashplan or Carbonite? both plans im looking at are about 59.99 / year

considering ill be running a win 10 pro os as my server instead of 2012 or win 10 server I doubt I need vpro gonna try getting a 2nd set of the trident ram And a 2nd 6 tb hdd soon to have over 12 TB and 32GB ram

im getting the Gigabyte board with the xeon 1246v3 and 16gb (2x8gb) gskill ddr3 1600 trident ram and a 6 TB WD red HDD

I have a 2.5 inch WD red 1TB that's pretty stable and a 3.5 inch 6 TB on the way... so far I like them

I just bought a WD red 6 TB for 269.99 ill post how stable it is once I receive and install it.

hope this will be a decent upgrade to my server...

another case that works great with micro atx boards is the fractal design node 804
