Right now I am throwing 4 copyjobs at my server all with atleast decypt/encrypt. Holy sh.t its choking but my server just swallows all I throw to him.
Nice Intel!

2*30G Maxtor 72000RPM

nortexoid: bad luck dude when I am exchanging my WD 1000 (which is prob. 4 month or so) there is no 120G left for you :p

That server is crap-tac-ular...

No backup solution..
RAID 0? Geebus you're crazy...
Overclocking? Again you're insane...
IDE? I should slap you...
Software RAID? You should slap yourself...

You left out all the important things that make a server different from your desktop...

*CONFIRMED*

A most unsatisfactory server, with a most unsatisfactory encryption solution.

From what I can tell the bestcrypt software is terribly weak - not something I'd want to put on a server. My complaints are not at the strength of the encryption algorithm, but with the supporting software:

Decryption key stored only in one place in the container - no spare in case of corruption.
No option for a recovery agent (master password/certificate) to access files in the event of loss of the primary decryption key.

There are other gaping weaknesses in the software (but the above 2 make it totally unsuitable for use in a server environment).

<I'm afraid FBI will ask you to tell them the password for all your encrypted Jpegs and other stuff you got there, and you will have to comply>
I don't think so. They will probably use something like this. That really worries me. If Symantec bends over for FBI, what about others?

Hardware, I have a feeling that you posted this just to tout Intel's doubtful superiority. It's not working. :D

There is no backupsolution on earth for that level
anyway all important data is mirrored on a different drive
RAID 0? Geebus you're crazy...
its raid 1
Overclocking? Again you're insane...
who cares when its 110% stable
(dont forget its intel)

IDE? I should slap you...
LOL SCSI IS DEAD !!!!
*CONFIRMED*


Software RAID? You should slap yourself...
Do you have a problem with raid1?

Get you a candy and back to school boy :p

<< There is no backupsolution on earth for that level >>


Of course there is - it just isn't cheap. Do you really think that organisations like idrive, geocities, aol, yahoo, etc. don't backup their databases, users' file stores, pending e-mails, and web pages? I can assure you that they do, and they have far more than 800 GB of data.

Besides RAID or mirroring is no substitute for backups. What if a virus trashes your files - your mirror will be trashed too? I just have to wonder what you will be storing on those drives when the contents can be so easily recreated that you have no need to backup.




<< Overclocking? Again you're insane...

>>


How do you know it's stable? Do you have access to Intel's chip testing equipment?

Or have you just run Q3, Prime95 or 'CPU stability test' - because I can assure that they do not prove that your system is stable. I overclocked one of my systems by 13% (Intel) - it would run Q3 and unreal flyby for days without crashing. I ran Prime95 torture test for 3 weeks continuously without a reboot, with no errors detected. Despite this I still found several programs that would crash, and crash regularly but unpredictably - crashes which miraculously disappeared when I returned to normal clock speed.

You're overclocking and running encryption - you're begging to lose your data: a single bit error in an encrypted file will make the entire file unreadble.

Yep, just cause it's intel means it's 110% stable. WTG INTEL!!! AMD SUX!!!

LOL, SCSI dead. That's a good one.

with 110% atability I mean not a single crash from a software app!

or you just could get a farm of wanna be servers, network them all together...and have a mega server type thingy...

oh wait..im already doing that ;)
