I'm getting ready to move to a new house and would like to rackmount all of my gear in the basement and access all of it from an office upstairs without a local device. I am something of a minimalist so I don't want anything cluttering up my desk.
Obviously, I could try running some really...
Just from the product description it looks like it should work. I don't have any experience with this product though. Should work. I've only ever heard good things about Buffalo and it says it will do exactly what you want it to do.
Am i missing something? Why not just change the gateway IP to 192.168.0.0/24. If it is setup for DHCP it will renew the leases for the other IP's to something in the same subnet. If it is setup statically then one would have to go through and change all the IP's for each pc on the subnet but it...
I also use a WRT400N and it works really well. I recommend it anytime someone asks. It is a tad more expensive but it is nice to segregate real traffic (ie traffic from my computer) and unimportant traffic (ie anything having to do w/ my gf's mac) on to separate channels.
I have a 15 Mbps connection (20 with speedboost...man, I hate TimeWarner) and I frequently get 20+ Mbps when I go to speedtest.net or TW's own test site even when connected via wireless. That is not to say that what others have said isn't true, just my own personal experience.
I reread your question and my first response is how to access from a remote location. And I just saw that you have 2 cameras. You'll probably have to assign each of them a different port unless they come with some sort of management program that allows you to view both at the same time.
You'll have to connect to the outside, public IP 205.23.245.XX but you will want to set up the router to forward all connections on a certain port to the CCTV. I would set it to a private port >= 49152 if your CCTV system doesn't have a specific port that it uses. You can get more info on...
If you want to boot from it you'll have to use MBR but if it is a backup or data drive, I don't think it matters. I don't think that there would be any kind of performance change. If anyone has more experience, feel free to correct me.
I don't know anyone in Columbia that does that kind of stuff. Who is your service provider? Are you going with a enterprise/business class service? Either way, you may be able to get your ISP to assist somewhat as well.
I would just google network installation and whatever area you live in. You may be able to get them to consult for a nominal fee(though significantly less than having them do it). Or place a flyer near the CS/IT/EE dept and have one (or several) of them help.
I would go dual-band for sure. It is nice to segregate traffic on seperate channels. I like my Linksys WRT400N but D-Link makes dual-band routers as well.
If you have other backups RAID5 is nice volume wise because you only lose one parity disk worth of space. RAID1 or RAID 10 which I also recommended suffers a 50% loss. RAID5 does incur a write penalty. If you aren't worried about that then roll with it.
Velociraptors are fast for HDD but RAIDing isn't especially cost-effective. The cheapest (new) are around a hundred bucks. 2 of them will buy you a SSD that would blow them away. If you are just looking at a marginal increase in performance then WD Caviar Blacks bench pretty fast as well as the...
Indeed, planning is going to be crucial no matter which route you take. MAC address filtering would be one way to load-balance the routers. It would be a pain and would have to be done every year/semester but it is an option. I would also suggest at least 3 wireless routers if you choose that...
That's about $1.20/GB. We are still a ways a way from that price range. $2/GB is getting close (Kingston 64GB is around that I think) but for the top performers (C300, vertex 2, x-25M, etc) we won't see prices near $1.20/GB for a while.
I would go with RAID 10 which is a striped set of mirrors. (a1 and a2 are mirrored creating a', b1 and b2 are mirrored creating b' and then a' and b' are striped). Fairly reliable, you have 1/2N * size storage. (4x1TB = 1/2*4*1 = 2 TB) and performance is pretty good. Read is ~= RAID5 and write...
The point is that it is statistically relevant that the OCZ drives may fail very shortly after purchase. Unless one could somehow get the data for how many drives have been purchased (originally) and how many have failed within x amount of time, one has to rely on synthetically derived data such...
FTP over SSH (which the synology supports) would not be a bad idea and would give some level of security and isn't too difficult to set up. Or if you are *nix savvy then I would just set up the SSH connection and rsync between the two locations. Rsync is a nice solution as it copies files...
UPDATE:
The Duet definitely works with the Sil 3132 chipset on Windows 7 machines. I was having trouble with CrystalDisk Info finding both HDD's but I put in the second Seagate that I have and now CrystalDisk shows both. The only problem is that, for whatever reason, it doesn't support Advanced...
Just got the Thermaltake Blacx Duet and I really like it thus far. It is a dual drive dock with eSATA and USB 2.0 connectivity. The disks are definitely exposed but I have two internal hard drives plugged into one eSATA cable (saves a lot of headaches since I only have 3 USB ports). If you go...
I just got my Thermaltake Blacx Duet eSATA 2 drive dock in the mail today so, out of curiosity's sake, I ran some tests on the drives in their old enclosures and then in the dock to see what kind of performance increase I am getting. This test was/is by no means scientific. It only serves to...
Will you post the relevant portions of ipconfig for both the desktop and the notebook? If all the IP addresses look good then I would recommend checking out this post by JackMDS.
SATA is probably the most prolific connection type but there are also PCIe connected SSD's (ala the RevoDrive) and there are also ExpressCard SSD's as well (although they dont seem to be bootable.)
This thread is pretty good as far as copying information over to a SSD...
I would like to know how to test the bandwidth between multiple wirelessly connected devices on the same subnet. I know that I could look up the theoretical bandwidths for whatever specification (N/G etc.) but I would like to know if I am actually approaching those limits. Thanks for the help.
