    Really OT but I know some here used to visit there as well. Has Terry Walsh ditched the forums he had on wegotserved? If so, what is a good alternative?
     
    Sometime this year I will build a new server running WS2016 essentials and as I have got no real clue about VMs I need some advice. Basically I want to build a big-ass Server for client backups and file sharing and, running on the same HW but isolated wrt access, a virtual desktop. The idea is that I can then someday buy a very light laptop that would basically be a VDI(?) and actually run my work things on that VM/RDP (but without any danger of damaging the actual Server part of the Server).

    Hi
    I need to get a couple of new USB to Sata adaptors for my toolkit, but these would also be useful for upgrading my DP hdds and temporarily attaching disks to have them scanned while i'm at work.
    Are there any known to work with Scanner, or known not to work which should be avoided?
     
    thanks.

    Interesting article from backBlaze on SMART info
     
    Not definitive but interesting
     
    Wish they would learn how to present stats and % properly as it makes it difficult to figure out what the numbers mean!

    LavetaJef reacted to lotsofdrives in Recommendations for achieving Pool of Mixed NAS and Local Drives   
    Greetings,
     
    I have two NAS devices, plus a few local hard drives, and I'd like to aggregate them all together in one Pool (ie, so that they show up as a single drive in Windows). From reading through the website and forum it seems like this may be possible, but in my initial experiments with DrivePool and CloudDrive I'm having trouble achieving this. I can create a pool of the local drives in DrivePool, and I can create a drive of a shared folder using CloudDrive. But I'm not seeing that CloudDrive location show up in DrivePool.
     
    From my initial looking I think I'd prefer to just use DrivePool if possible, as it seems to have the sorts of features I'm interested in (eg, I know that I want to use the Ordered File Placement plugin).
     
    Ideally I'd like to be able to just enter in a UNC path for a shared folder on each NAS in order to add it as a pooled data location in DrivePool. But I could be fine with mapping NAS drives as well, though that doesn't seem to do anything.
     
    I'm trying out DrivePool 2.1.1.561 x64 and CloudDrive 1.0.0.854 x64.
     
    The background on all of this is that I have CrashPlan installed on this computer, and I want to create a pooled location to point CrashPlan to for storing data that will be backed up TO this computer from another computer (using CrashPlan computer-to-computer backup). CrashPlan only supports selecting a single location for this scenario, but since I have several old NAS's, plus some local hard drives I'd like to pool them all into one drive to use as my CrashPlan repository. For those that see the value in multiple offsite backups you'll appreciate knowing that I also backup to CrashPlan's servers as well.
     
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice on all this!

    LavetaJef reacted to Professor in Nightly drive dismounts   
    Hi I'm kind of new to this product and I think I've got things setup decently but I'm having some issues. 
     
    Pretty much the only thing the cloud drive regularly is plex. so I'll put that out there off the bat. Streaming off of the cloud drive has been working perfectly. I haven't had any hiccups there even remotely streaming a file I know is on the clouddrive.  
     
    I find pretty much daily I either run into a bunch of errors being displayed in the upper left hand corner of the app or to be being disconnected from my google drive.  Hitting retry when I notice its disconnected it connects up without issue.   As far as I can tell my internet connection is fairly solid and not flaky (speed 135/55). I've made sure my router isn't scheduled to restart over night etc.  I don't currently have reason to believe I'm dropping my network connection yet.
     
    I did have daily plex library scans turned on and I've got that turned off as of this morning to see if that makes a difference over night. However I was under the impression that cloud drive respects Googles API limits and backs off exponentially.  I'm not too worried about things taking a long time to say scan during a library update in plex. More concerned that some action is causing it to be dropped and having to manually reattach the drive.
     
    I'm having troubles reading the logs because the time stamps don't seem to be in my time zone which is making it hard to line up with events that occur on my pc or if I have the logging level set high enough to help.  Currently have the google side of things set to warning. 
     
    What I'm seeing when I check the service log:
     
    0:36:25.8: Warning: 0 : [ApiHttp:51] HTTP protocol exception (Code=Forbidden). 0:36:25.8: Warning: 0 : [ioManager:51] HTTP error (Forbidden) performing I/O operation on provider. 0:36:25.8: Warning: 0 : [ioManager:51] Error performing I/O operation on provider. Retrying. The download quota for this file has been exceeded. 0:36:27.0: Warning: 0 : [ApiGoogleDrive:37] Google Drive returned error (downloadQuotaExceeded): The download quota for this file has been exceeded.   I'm not sharing files with anyone directly from my google drive. The only thing that currently accesses it is plex. The error provided from google seems like its attempting to download the same block over and over again but I could be wrong. When I do notice the lines in the log (which might be well after unfortunately) I don't seem to have a drive ban or being locked out.  
     
    I'm using a small local cache because the data retrieved from the connection is unlikely to be accessed a second time. Aka playing completely random things off of plex. Its unlikely I'm going to watch the exact same thing twice regularly . I'm assuming it will have to stream and pre cache on the fly AKA I have bandwidth to burn.  I can bump the cache size up without issue I just didn't because I didn't think I'd see an improvement if things are unlikely to be "played" twice.   
     
     
    Drive size 32TB 
    Chunk size: I can't seem to find out where with it connected but I seem to remember 20 meg
     
    Local cache: 5 GB adaptive 
     
    Settings:
    Download threads: 2
    Upload threads 2 with background I/O
    Upload threshold 2.00 MB or 5 minutes
     
    Prefecher enabled
    Prefectch trigger: 10 MB
    prefecth Forward: 50 MB
    Prefetch time Window: 45 seconds
     
     
     
    Thanks!!! So far besides this hiccup i'm very impressed with your product here!

    That depends on what you're doing.  For the most part, that *should* be good enough. But I'm a bit of a perfectionist... and I'd rather have both running at full x16. But that's entirely dependant on the chipset/mainboard you're using.

    hey just curious what your take is on the xeon E3-1231-v3... thinking about that or the i5-4690k as my cpu but xeon has hyperthreading... and again do u think wd red drives are fast enough to run games on?
