Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
If a standard ATX supply doesnt fit you could use one meant for a Shuttle XPC.

The PSU could hold it fairly well, i suppose, leaving one or 2 drives on the inbuilt PSU, and you could certainly manage!

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
less platters = less power consumption.

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
As far as ram on a 4000 is concerned, does it have to be unbuffered, ECC registered, or anything special or will normal PC-133 stuff work because i think I have a few 512's sitting around.

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
Mine has standard SDRAM in it (unbuffered non ECC)...

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
Yeah, they aint gonna put buffered ECC in it, cause it costs loads more

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
Im pretty sure most people like yourself have just had sticks laying around that they've used
And how many people would have EEC buffered laying around?

Hehe I have at least one friend that does. But, I did find a 128mb stick that works fine. My 512mb wouldnt But since the server only had 64mb in it i consider the upgrade a success none the less. Shane

Think 256 sticks work fine My LaCie Ethernet Disk due to the board its built on, will only take a max of a 256mb stick in each slot Ok, 1 friend. How many friends do you have? Probably quite a small ratio :P

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
I guess a 750gb Seagate 16mb cache hard drive would be too large for the 4000 to handle. That would be great to make a 3TB server RAID 5.
Curious, SM |

It might be interesting to try in JBOD mode.

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
You could run 2 RAID 1 and stay under the 1T OS restriction/Wall.
The newer 7200.10 drives have a lower power consumption than older models. I think the original 30gig Quanium use more power than the 300gigs today. The 512 meg sticks of PC100/133 are High density, which does not work in the Snaps. Has something to do with paging sizing.

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
I will try to setup two 750gb seagate's 16mb cache drives. I will try to get my hands on two 750gb and try them for RAID 5.
I will post my findings. SM |

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
You will be wasting your time in RAID 5 with the 750 gig drives. Any think over 1T has Major Problems. This has been beaten to death multiple times. You can run 4 250gig in raid 5 (max). Or most anything in JBOD, or 2 x RAID 1's. Raid 0 has the same restrictions of RAID 5.

Re: SNAP 4000 Limits ???

Nope, nothing special. Just upped the memory. Everythihng was going smoothly, but I am starting to notics the drive slow down when I get about 400-500 Gigs on it. I don't know if it's the space used or what. I recently moved a directory with music in it - about 300GB - to a different directory. The operation took less than a minute - just moving pointers - but now it seems really slow. Fixed by upgrading the network - not the snaps fault! I am looking for similar stories here, but havn't fund much yet. I also want to play with the debug parameters, but I am afraid I'll break something, so without good suggestions, I'm lost.

Re: SNAP 4000 Errors and Limits
I'm Back.
The 4 320Gb drives in my 4000 work fine, with one exception. Unfortuantely for my usage this little glitch is unacceptable. I took a snapshot of the network usage durring a backup of the snap (so I can reconfigure it.) Notice those regular downward spikes? Here they are every 140 seconds, at the radio station they were every 30 seconds - or is my memory going? This is on my home network. The same thing happend at the radio station (but every 30 seconds - or is my memory going?) When playing music from the snap, even with very little useage ~32K/second, there would be these dropouts, and the audio would stop for .5-2 seconds. The strange thing is that it's so regular. Exactly every N seconds. I'm looking for anyone else that can confirm or deny this. All you need is a transfer of two minutes to notice the pattern in a network monitor like taskmanager or analogx netstat live. Once the backup is done, I'm going to mirror the to sets of drives. |
