Best eSATA JBOD?

Apparently;-)
I'm a coder, my hardware knowledge was what I needed to build my box and/or troubleshoot family&friends PCs.
Everytime I bought a "big" drive for backup, it wound up inside my case for Data duty instead. This thread reminded me that I really ought to stop putting that off.
Making more sense now, and looks like a number of off-the-shelf-solutions are all raid and extremely overpriced.
Thanks.

Is this really as easy as you claim. I will admit to not being familialr with this side of computer hardware. NAS/SAS/portMultipliers/et al... even after reading http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/tutorial_pm.asp , I still don't see how it can be management free.
I have 4 drives in my main box atm:
8G Seagate c.1999
160G Seagate SATA c.2005
300G Seagate SATA c.2006
500G WD SATA-2 c.2007
These are not raided, primarily DATA drives. At times data will be shuffled around from Drive to Drive or reorganized.
The claim here on slashdot is that RAID is not a backup... So then, what is? If I hook up my unused 500G drive - and start using that for backup, it will get full. So I buy another. Now I have to know where the backups go. And if I move data around in my main chassis then the previous backups will be inconsistent. IE stuff that was on Backup drive 1 which used to match what was on Main drive 1... would no longer be the case as a lot of data may have been moved from MainDrive 1 to Main drive 2. So an unmanaged backup would wind up with the same information on Backup#1 as Backup#2 - or you would wind up having to move data around between the backup drives as well - to match what you have done on the main system.
I've read through most of this thread, and I still don't really see any actual answers to the OP's question. Where is the software that can remove the headache of managing JBOD's that aren't raided? Does the hardware somehow take care of this - it really doesn't seem to from the information I have been able to acquire.
*chuckle* But but but... Financial crisis... must.. not.. spend.. money..
Any jobs that require the gov't to spend money should be suspended until the financial crisis has passed. Fortunately that includes the whole government infrastructure as well:-)
I'm sure the media will let us know when it's ok to live again.
From my experience on Usenet til a little over a year ago. If it truely does die, the underground distribution channels will be severely impacted.
Which depending on your outlook/views might be a good thing. A quick perusal of a majority of Torrents is stuff that has previously been distributed thru NNTP. Usenews content gets stuffed all over the place in less convenient forms. The same content can be seen popping up on lots of the "pay for access download sites". Yet in all these cases NNTP is superior.
* Easily browse NZB (NewsBin) servers that index usenet.
* View individual files right in a newsreader (Xnews)
* Get your maxSpeed download, 1+MB/s on a half-decent cable line.
* Flat-rate monthly fee.
Comparitively torrents can be agonizingly slow, you are lucky to get 10-30kb/s, and I've yet to see a speed reach above 200-300kb/s and that rate doesn't last long. File sizes are climbing into the multi-GB range and seeds on older torrents tend to disappear. Whereas some usenet servers are maintaining 99.9% of their data for upwards of a year - which actually made it easy to filter out duplicate content. A one byte change in a given torrent changes the MD5 and makes it incompatible and almost impossible to filter duplicate content.
Porn is pretty poor quality in general. There's very little class anymore. The farther we get from the 80s the more vulgar. I really cringe to think what will be considered "porn" in 10 more years.
Out of the list I liked binverse.com and usenetserver.com, generally if you go thru the links provided by newsgroupreviews you'll get discounts that may or may not be "obvious" from just going directly to the sites in question.
Your frame of mind seems to be pretty common around here. "Nothing I can see" in Vista/Win7. I even might of agreed with that statement not all that long ago. Yet if you follow some of tech-notes related to Vista/Win7 ie the actual underpinnings of the system, not just the candy coated UI. Theres quite a lot of interesting stuff going on under the hood. Mark Russinovich's blog's since he was hired at Microsoft have been particularly enlightening - even more so than the stuff he used to post frequently on sysinternals.com.
I think whats particularly interesting, is he used to frequently point out how he would solve a security issue, or track down a bug - usually with "Process Explorer" or one of its kin. Also he was the first to discover the much maligned Root Kit. And now he's working directly FOR Microsoft, which means instead of him just happening to find problems in his own time that might be of interest to him, or some of his old security related clients -- He now has a direct line to getting Windows Drivers fixed and/or the quirks in "MS Spaghetti code" that has caused their software to misbehave on so many occasions. Which in the long run can only be a good thing.
Before opening the article, I thought the idea was akin to
|/\/\/\/| - QWERTY, alternating up and down triangles. Which would actually conserve screen space... possibly still have accidental key presses though.
Perhaps, but all this patent nonsense - whenever and wherever it comes up - reminds me of a documentary I seen on the creator of Pong and video game consoles in the 70s and early 80s.
It was mentioned numerous times about "knock-offs" flooding the market, so then the company in question would do the crazy thing and "innovate" to release something better.
In todays day and age, they just sue the knock-offs.
I recall being subjected to Telnet on the Mac's when I visited College friends in the states (early 90s) and it crashed and crashed.. oh yeah crashed:-)
And if it didn't crash, there was this odd "freeze" behaviour, that you might as well consider a crash - required a restart.
Oddly enough, when I used DOS (NCSA) Telnet all the way up til 1999, it never crashed once.
Genesis was first, then BatMUD... then IgorMUD or Nanny - but they all have a close conception.
For LPmuds anyways. Diku was a little later to the party - so not sure where the first Diku's fit into the list of LPs.
Some of my favorites:
Batmud, Highlands, Igor, Nanny, MortalDecay
Preferred batmud before its overhaul in 91 - just wasn't the same when the EVIL Cult went away.
Nah basically its Hexen, except at least Hexen had the 10pt health potions that topped up your health (can't carry). AND the more rare carryable flasks +25 Health IIRC.
The more I hear about Diablo, the less interested I am. Hopefully Sacred 2 isn't a disappointment.
Sacred 2 is pretty much doing this, releasing Xbox 360 and PC version. I'm not sure if there is keyboard/mouse support on the 360 side - but on the PC side it will support using keyboard/mouse or gameController (ie 360's).
Considering that they use the same code base for their mobile browser - as the desktop one. They're hardly "wasting their time". Just because its not the most popular, means very little.
I'm not gonna get into a debate about whats better. People have preferences. Good enough.
The fact remains Opera has been ahead 'feature-wise' of nearly all of its competition for years.
Firefox is catching up - cool, competition is a good thing.
Well, the last time I checked was version 2. And posted onto the boards. Was advised it wasn't possible due to it requiring changes to the Chrome skin - which extensions could not do.
I'm happy with my browser, if FF can do that feature now - cool:-) There was a time when Opera was really ticking me off, and the haughtiness of the devs was getting to me. I really wanted to like FF and couldn't heh. Theres too many minor differences (and a few major ones) - that just don't feel "right" - likely why FF users don't quite like Opera (beyond the whole OpenSource jazz).
And unless something has significantly changed, Firefox can't put TabBars on the left or Right.
Which is a much more relevant issue than that small bit of blank space on the Menu bar. All monitors have more Width space than Height. The IE/Firefox restriction of Tabs only on the top or bottom is a serious annoyance. http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4903/operascreenlg5.jpg
