SSHDs in arrays yet? | ||||||

A lot of NAS devices and array controllers are supporting SSDs for caching in the array, some devices are even starting to have mSATA slots to add cache without taking a drive bay (unfortunately the one I've seen is a Drobo product and as usual it's all hype--performance is a *joke*). But SSHDs are somehow still around and this one's price and size make me curious:http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/161531_SEAGATE_DESKTOP_SSHD_4TB_SATA_3_5IN.aspx (Though for some reason that's an Australian link, so availability and local price may not be good...) ______________ Jeremy M.

Hey all, Recently started shopping for monitor upgrades, currently we still have these ancient Dell 2007FP monitors that do 1600x1200 at 20", great monitors, getting close to a decade old on some of these guys and we still use them for ancilliary stuff. Was hoping to find something comparable in the same aspect ratio and size, but low and behold the only way to get anything even close to that good is 16:10 and even then only when you get up to 24". Is there anyone out there still manufacturing monitors with decent resolutions ?

I guess it all depends on what you mean by small deployments. These days you can get starter configs for well under $75K, depending on your requirements. If by deployment size you mean price-point, and that price point is $20K, then I would agree with
you, they would not be interested, but no other commercial storage vendor would be interested either. HDSs street pricing per TB is less than half that of their nearest competitors, in case you are wondering. As we all have repeated over and over again on
this forum, its all about the use-case and the right tool for the right job, and sometimes its just a matter of individual bias. Its a laudable goal to save money and shop around for the best value, every one should, but if price is the only thing you value, then you just might be chasing yourself down the rabbit hole. -jy On Mar 21, 2014, at 8:40 PM,

Windows 7 - linux samba performance | ||||||

Hi. I've bumped a serious issue with windows 7 and samba sharing performance. I'm using this samba share to keep all my plugins and python modules. Unfortunately I'm right now facing the problem, that all the modules are loading muuuuch slower than from the local hard drive. Whe accessing the same modules from linux they're loading only slightly slower then from the local hard drive. I've made a smal test in python:
######################################################## import datetime
####################################################
It opens the file for reading 2000 times and measures the time of . For me the results were: windows - local file ("C:\test.txt") about .1s linux - local file ("/tmp/test.txt") about .01s windows - samba share ("\\server\share\test.txt") about 10s (!!!) linux - samba share ("\\server\share\test.txt") about 1s
Has anyone faced similiar problem with windows 7 access to samba shares? |

Hello all, On the lookout for 24" and 32" monitors from the same family. Meaning, they need to look identical for installation purposes. Seems that there is some manufacturing difference between these 2 sizes and is near impossible to find a Monitor that has 24"-32" flavors. Any one know of any? Full HD HDMI Preferred, DVI works too Good color and good viewing angle. |

Internet/bandwidth usage monitor | ||||||
| posted by Heinrich Olesen on March 26, 2014, 9:04 a.m. | ||||||
| ||||||
| ||||||
Hi,
We are running a network of 50 + users with mix flavoured operating systems (Linux, Mac os X and Windows) and busy to put something in place to monitor bandwidth/internet usage and to give me a detailed graph of who used what (IP Address or DNS name) and the type of protocol they used most like FTP, HTTP/HTTPS, UDP etc... almost like web security/Websense but I dont want to block sites, just a internet usage breakdown of IP Addresses. If it can give me the URL's that they have used that be a plus.
The server that I already have setup is a Win 7 Pro with two NIC's, one to monitor the bandwidth and the other to gain access to the machine. Now the one that monitor I want to connect to a mirrored port (one port will be the WAN Gateway and the other the monitor port) on a Extreme Summit X350 switch.
I would like to know if there is a freeware software that can do so ? |
