I was not even going to reply until I read that.

In case you haven't noticed pal, I am not trying to revive jack squat. In fact, I am using Guardian OS Units. I have one SNAP 4000 which will probably go away soon, one SNAP 1000 which I keep for playing with and due to it's small footprint, and then six Guardian OS units. So exactly how am I trying to revive a dead technology? I'm not, unless you consider trying to help those who have SNAP OS units for whatever their own reasons are (mostly money) as reviving dead technology.

You have a right to think and believe what you want. But the fact is, in this case, you are wrong, but no point trying to convince you either (I could not care less). But I do care about you putting out info that is dead on wrong and may cause someone else problems. You keep on thinking what you want. I really don't care. Honest. But do not expect me to sit by idle while you tell someone they can do something that is going to cost them money only to find out it won't work, or will work, but will have various "issues" all the time.

And, don't apologize to me, it's not needed. My feelings were not hurt even a little. But you might want to apologize to anyone who took your opinion and spent their hard earned cash only to end up with problematic SNAP 4000.


To be fair. Has anyone here put 4 x 320 GB drives in a SNAP 4000 in a 4 Drive RAID 5 array (no spares) and not had one single issue or problem? Now I do mean zero issues of any kind at all, even small ones? And I don't mean just slapped the the drives in, formatted and built a RAID 5, then called it good. I mean had it up and running a while with real usage in various situations and/or even had to rebuild the array due to a dead drive (or simulated). Anyone?
