Hi all,
We have a broadcast server from a company called Synergy. We are getting close to running out of HD space and I've been tasked with trying to expand our current HD setup without messing anything up
What I'm curious about is what the best way would be to move forward this. Allow me to explain the situation:
The system is four Win2K servers each running specialized apps and hardware, all networked via a high-end gigabit switch. The main storage area is an interesting box, external to the four servers - no brand name on it. From what I understand, its actually 10 SATA drives, outputting via a SCSI connector to one of the servers. In Win2K, it shows up as a standalone drive. There is no RAID software in Win2K, so I'm assuming the RAID hardware is built-in to the box.
1) Could someone lead me to a similar device, that I could easily setup and simply daisy-chain off of the current SCSI connector? I would also prefer to simply expand what is already the D-Drive, rather than create a new designation.
2) Are there external NAT boxes that I could retrofit with SATA drives AND that are gigabit compatible?
