Now Does one RAID 0 or 1 this NAS? I cant decide...

Fourstaff · Sep 5, 2013

How many bays?

FreedomEclipse · Sep 5, 2013

Well, its only a modest Synology DS213J so 2 bays for now - I had originally planned to go with a 4bay NAS but it was way out of my budget.

Im thinking of going Raid 1 for the the main drives then have an external HDD hooked upto it to store other stuff maybe?

Its mainly because Toshiba hard drives are new to me despite them being in the business for a long time. I just cant trust their reliability till ive used them.

Last thing i want is to lose 3TBs of music, movies and anime that i have downloaded over the years. Though I could just back up the files to another hard drive and run the nas Raid 0 for speed since i have upgraded to a giga LAN

So the NAS is here... holy shit i had no idea it was this small!! :eek:

should have saved up for a 4bay nas lol

We wantz the picz

If you don't trust the drives then RAID 1.

I am having one of the weirdest problems since finishing this PC: PC would boot fine with USB stick, but hangs when I plug my harddisk back (even when booting off USB stick). Selecting windows repair instead of booting normally gives me a black screen (with a cursor). HDD dying?

FreedomEclipse · Sep 5, 2013

there is honestly nothing to see at all - its just a nas - Pics are available online

If it was a 5-20 bay nas then that might be something to show off.

tried the hard drive in another PC?

Says windows cant access disk because its not formatted. Formatting, and reinstalling is going to be a pain :mad:

Maybe a sign from gods I need to buy an SSD :rolleyes:

FreedomEclipse · Sep 5, 2013

Sounds like the hard drive, data or the partition might be corrupt.

Try this on the other pc when you have the drive plugged in...

right click the drive and say 'take ownership' and see if that lets you access the data on it.

More than just the gods will slap your s*** up without an SSD. IT MUST BE DONE!

CrystalDiskInfo gives me a yellow on reallocated sectors count (5). Reformatted it already, a bit too late :eek:

Edit: I have a SSD, but I am going to break my pc up into pieces in a little under a week's time anyway for shipping so its a bit pointless for now imo.

Did you write zeros?

Nope, just your quick format kind. I don't have anything important inside anyway, having just done the installation less than 3 weeks ago. Harddrives under bed is not so reliable after all.

If it has dodgy smart data then I just plain wouldnt trust it with anything, even if it did work normally on occasion.

Kids are back in school. I miss the holidays. Working in a school without students was amazing.

Yeah this drive is going to retire as soon as I retire my laptop, which is in just under a month's time. Just using to test whether all the hardware is working before I ship it across the world.

So youre gonna trash your laptop out and treat it like a cheap hooker?

Put a mechanical drive back in. It doesn't need to boot up under a minute anymore if its relegated to downloading porn overnight.

I used to make my old laptop fold for TPU lol...

though that was back in the early days and because my laptop was on 24/7 with at least 95% CPU dedicated to folding, it was easy to get into the top 10

I tried crunching with this laptop, but the heatsink couldn't take the CPU load. Since then I have stayed away from anything taxing, from running benchmarks to folding/crunching

FreedomEclipse · Sep 5, 2013

NAS has been affectionately named 'Skynet'. I was gonna call it MoonBase or something relating to batman as my network SSD is 'TheBatCave' but the irony of that is that im really the only one allowed to access the data on the NAS unless I allow friends to use it as a cloud service which I might charge them for if they really want it.

:EDIT::

On a side note - These drives are quite loud lol...

I think its Toshibas inside

FreedomEclipse · Sep 5, 2013

Reds will be coming at a later date - Until the price drops to close to £100 or below for 3TB or if the price on those 4TB reds get sweeter, these Toshiba's will have to suffice till then. They should be fine though Its not as if they are gonna get raped by hundreds of users requests per minute. They should last me a year or two unless one or both of them meet an untimely click of death of some sort.
