    Building a backup/file server, and revamping our network for my job, help.

    Offsite would be nice, but its not going to happen. I think we've decided that an NAS device would be the best idea. If we're leaving for an extended time, we'll take it with us. This is a home office, amazingly, so there are people here 24/7. Any thoughts on a good 4 bay NAS that supports...

    Building a backup/file server, and revamping our network for my job, help.

    My workplace needs a server for backup and some limited file storage. We're a small company, with 7 PC's and 3 networked printers. Right now, everyone backs up to an external HDD on their desks, but its a clumsy, unmanaged, unreliable system, imposed by my predecessor. Our network is a mishmash...

    ~~~~ IWANNA ~~~~

    IWANNA: Seagate 400GB+ non 7200.8 PATA Hard drive for $125-$200, depending on size. Ideally, a 500gb for $150 or so. My MacMini is desperate for more storage, and I have plenty of FW cases.

    Recommend me a EXTERNAL FireWire case.

    I just emailed them, and it uses an external power brick. I guess they changed the models around, because I've seen lots of reviews, about half of them have internal, half have external PSU's. So... unless you want to sell yours, I'm still looking.

    Recommend me a EXTERNAL FireWire case.

    Awesome. I'll keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't go on sale sometime soon, I might buy a cheaper case for the time being.

    Recommend me a EXTERNAL FireWire case.

    It says it uses an external power supply. Is that true. Can you also tell me what chipset the FW uses?

    Recommend me a EXTERNAL FireWire case.

    Oh crap, i never mentioned the most important thing. I'm looking for an EXTERNAL ENCLOSURE. God, I must be really tired today, I just finished freaking out about having no gear oil in my race car's tranny, and like an idiot, i had pulled the fill plug, not the drain plug. Yeah... I use a...

    Recommend me a EXTERNAL FireWire case.

    Well folks, its been a LONG time since I've been on anandtech, but i need a recommendation, and this is the place to go. I need a firewire case for both my Mac and my PCs. I have a 400GB drive I need to install, and my current case doesn't support 48-bit LBA. Here are my absolute requirements...

    Garbled display on Dell Inspiron 8200: Card or cable?

    its not the driver. Trust me. This is a 5 minute install of windows, and it will only work in VGA mode, safe mode doesnt work. The external output however is perfect in all resolutions. Is there a way to test if its the LCD or the cable, aside from replacing the cable and seeing if that...

    Garbled display on Dell Inspiron 8200: Card or cable?

    I'm trying to fix a friend's inspiron 8200, and after installing a new drive (thanks newegg), i installed winxp. It installed with no flaws, but when it tried to do the welcome screen, the display turned to ~60% white/black static horizontal lines, ~40% image, but the image is only of the upper...

    I found this picture to be entertaining! :)

    try FF. Its worth it. I've removed as many as 10,000 spyware traces, so i doubt that's a lie.
