I see they make a snap 1100 as big as 250gb, does anyone know if there is any hardware differences between the 1000 and 1100 series?

The Ram is 2 to the right from the intel cpu and are built onto the board for the 2200, and there are 2 on top and 2 beneath.
Thanks Sam |

Throughput?
Hi Guys,
I succesfully upgraded a Snap 1000 to 120gb; however, the performance just stinks.. I am seeing about 1.5 MB/s storage rate? Any ideas? This with NFS , on Mac os X... Even FTP'ing into the box, I'm seeing 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,1,99,4,6). 125 Data connection already open; transfer starting. 100% |*************************************| 20480 KB 1.71 MB/s 00:00 ETA 226 Closing data connection. Requested file action successful. 20971520 bytes sent in 00:11 (1.70 MB/s) ftp> Which, is just terrible? |

Without a lot more information about your particular setup, if is difficult to say if your performance is good or bad. If you are using a CAD 5 crossover cable between your Mac G5 and the Snap Server, with tuned windows for maximum size, running 100 mb full duplex, then yes your performance stinks. If you are on a typical network, with hubs or switches, running half duplex 10 mb ethernet, standard window size, long cable runs with non-certified CAD 4 cable, and occasional other random traffic present (think printers running Appletalk in the background), then your reported numbers are quite good. What are you comparing to, when you believe your throughput stinks. The real test, is how much are you willing to spend to gain a few extra seconds, and what is that worth in opportunity costs. Are you most likley to be typing text, and doing occasional saves, or are you doing intractive database searches that require hugh blocks of data to be send synchronously.
You may want to examine each inch of the path to determine where or if you want to make a change. Quote:

Model 4000 series Software 3.4.803 (UK) Hardware 2.0.1 BIOS 2.0.282 My understanding is that any OS above 3.4.803 might support drives over 120 gb limit, and I would like to use four 160 gb drives in there and use them to full capacity. I should hope SnapOS 4 or the new GuardianOS might also solve these problems? I have successfully upgraded my snap 4000 with a single Samsung 160 gb Spinpoint drive (SP1604N) bought from Aldi @ a little over 60 gbp yesterday. Since the OS resides in the server itself, the snap simply went ahead and formatted it without problems automatically in about 10 minutes or so (unlike the Snap 1000 I once upgraded, which had the OS on disk and needed disk duplication with dolly disk copy before the upgrade worked). However, it only formats to 128 gb without making full use of the drive's full 160 gb capacity. BTW After an attempt at repair the snap 4000, it came back with all the original drives set to master, so the system did not boot up properly and the RAID got totaly confused. You have to be careful with the jumper positions as the service manual states that the original drives it comes with may have different product codes: 70700042-002 on Quantum label drive 10008 (top left set to slave) drive 10000 (bottom left set to master) drive 10018 (top right set to slave) drive 10010 (bottom right set to master) 70700042-003 or higher on Quantum label drive 10008 (top left set to cable select) drive 10000 (bottom left set to cable select) drive 10018 (top right set to cable select) drive 10010 (bottom right set to cable select) |

Model Software Hardware BIOS
2000 series 3.4.790 (UK) 2.0.3 3.3.705 Is mine. Thats strange, it says 2200 on the box, but it says 2000 for model. Strange.. There was supposed to be a problem with that mobo, supposedly, will try the one i bought last week, and see what that comes up with. I thought one hard drive was failed, so could this be why i get the picture below? I thought it was supposed to be Raid 1 ? How come when i type the ip address in do i get the page first? The password that supposed to be admin dont work, could this be becuase the drive may have failed? I may try resetting the admin password, but i need to speak the network admin on monday. I thought you are supposed to get a full config list when you load the web browser on the ip address? |

XP shows me 15Mbit/s in Networkview if I copy to it over smb. FTP gives me up to 2000kbyte/s My Snap 1000 is connected to a 5-port Netgear switch at 100Mbit/s and it's not so much traffic on that one. I get about 75% xfer rate copying to my linux server over smb, connected to same switch... Little bit dissapointed... expected at least around 50% rate.... /s |

1100 Dead...no sign of life
I have a Snap 1100 that locked up one day and hasnt worked since. I powered the unit down and after that it would not power back up. The exteranl power supply for the unit is fine...I even tried one from another snap just in case. It was on a UPS unit and none of my other hardware seemed to have any power supply problems. I do have a small amount of electronic experience and had a look at the MB. I dont see any burnt components and as best I can tell all looks normal. Could it be that the BIOS on the MB has become corrupted somehow? And if so is there any way to restore/reset it? I have tried all of the normal reset procedures but this guy is deader then a door nail. Any suggestions would be great

Woohooo it works!!!!!!!
Got an original Quantum Snap 1000 unit with no drive, and thanks to many people on this forum, and going back and re-reading many times what has been previously written, and a generous sharing of the 1000 image and OS4.0 --- I now have a 30 GB primary drive in the main unit, a 160 ATA133 Western Digital drive in an external unit (reporting a 151 GB of available space on it), and a unit that thnks it is a Snap 2000 running OS4.0 and working fine. Just for spite, I even added a duplicate of the boot partition on the second drive, so if one crashes, I can use either drive to reboot with. Thanks Guys and Gals!!!! Won't bore you with rehashing the details, suffice it to say, upon careful re-reading and some expermentation, it does work. Wish the power supply was a bit better, but I'm happy with an external box to supply the power and a place to put the drive. Lesson learned, never throw anything away, no matter how old, as it always comes back as reusable. External case was an original external drive bay for a Radio Shack TRS80 (who still remembers those), but it was connected by a ribbon cable that is just right for this application.
Thanks again, and keep the faith. |

It is a little slow with RAID 5 and the limited memory and the next step will be to upgrade the memory. |

I've got a 1000 and from what I've read most of them can't handle more than a 120GB drive!? Model: 1000 series SW: 3.0.566 (US) HW: 3.1.1 BIOS: 2.1.364 tia /andreas |

Sure thing.
Model 1000 series, although now it reports itself as a 2000 thanks to the patch posted earlier, which is why I suspect it can handle two drives. Software 4.0.830 (US) Hardware 3.1.2 Bios 2.1.366 Not sure, but I suspect the updates to the Bios came with the 4.0.830 Software. You have to do the format /reinit thing, and let it format out (whick too about 45 minutes as I recall), to get it to recognize the new size, but it certainly does work. Now if I could just figure out how to make th etelnet work, or at least SSH, so I can maniipulate the filesystem directly. The Web browser (even with debug) and or Assist don't quite give enough visibility to do what I want to do. Im thinking that if I increase the power of the external power supply, I can put the larger drive inside the case, and then add a second hard drive even larger. Oh yeak, the 160 MB drive is a 133 ATA, and 7200 RPM, so that blows away the ealier reports of not supporting that as well. It may have to do with the patch to make it think it is a 2000, that enables some of these features, I'm not sure. I didn't print out enough of the original config, before messing with it to upgrade it. The warning message claims that once you upgrade to OS 4.0, then you cannot go back, so I haven't tried to reinstall the older image, as that might mess things up a lot. Anyway, take it from me, it does work, at least with the rev level that I am at. Quote:

Ok, ive got access to the snap server, and its now mine... Muuhhhahhahaha ...
If in raid 1 both drives i think have the os on them. Anyway, the 'backup drive' has failed, though i dont think there is much differnce, or it wouldn't matter if you switched them round. So if i was to get an 80gb replacement, which of the many ways would work on my snap 2200, even though it says 2000 for some strange reason (the mobo was supposedly a problem one) i will have to try the bought replacement.
