en480c4 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Just had some fun customizing one of those, and it's amazing how quickly you can get north of $750 w/ no monitor!
penger Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Data Robotics introduces 5-bay Drobo S, enterprise-ready DroboElite -- Engadget New Drobo with firewire 800 and is still recoverable after 2 drive failures.
aardvark baguette Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 dual disc redundancy goodness.
tkam Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 the 8-bay "elite" is absurd, $3.5k w/ no drives. dual disc redundancy isn't anything new it's called RAID 6.
aardvark baguette Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 $3.5k w/ no drives. I didnt even bother checking the price, but thats more stratospheric than I would have ever guessed.
Grahame Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 As other people have pointed out, this is an expensive way to get a similar feature set as ZFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (RAIDZ2 gives you 2 disk disk redundancy e.g. A Hands on Introduction to ZFS Pools; Part 3: RAIDZ2, scrubbing and resilvering - Technology for Sun Partners for an illustration) I've been wondering how long it would be before we see a ZFS based appliance. So have other people. DroboPro at SNW Looks like I may not have to wait that long. EON ZFS Storage (NAS) (eon storage)
grawk Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Raid 6 controllers aren't cheap. $3500 isn't actually a bad deal for an enterprise raid6 controller.
Dusty Chalk Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) is that screen...curved?Yuppers. It's essentially so big, that you start to get distortion because the pixels are different distances from your eyes, so they fixed it by curving the entire thing. PS I changed my mind, I don't want -- it's only "900p". Although the ultra-widescreen aspect (pun intended) would have been nice. Can you imagine having every single one of your iTunes columns up at once? Edited November 24, 2009 by Dusty Chalk
shellylh Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 One could just get the ghetto version: two 20" or 24" displays display side by side, each towed in - works for me.
Dusty Chalk Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah, that's exactly what I thought when I saw that it didn't even do 1080p. "...toed..."
guzziguy Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 You spell just fine. Accidentally using homonyms while one composes and types is common. Most people understand that and ignore it when it happens.
Dusty Chalk Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I'm just giving her a hard time -- wouldn't be fair to Billy if I didn't. (Billy gets an order of magnitude harder time; his spelling/grammar/whatnot is an order of magnitude worse'n yours, Shelly.)

Chekhonte Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Why can't there be a goddamn MFin' 32gb micro sd card already?
Dusty Chalk Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Seams faire Okay, now your just fogging with me. And ...uh, I forget you're name, guziguy...and guziguy's right -- I was correcting you on you're choice of words, not you're spelling; you're spelling's fine. I just really liked the imagery of having speakers so big, they need a tow truck to toe them in. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" superimposed with the "large truck backing up" beeping comes to mind as the soundtrack.
