Drobo B800i iSCSI SAN Storage Enclosure Unboxing!

[seamuswarren]

Hello motherboardsorg, :)

My 2009 Desktop iMac's 1TB hard disk is nearly full and the computer seems to be running real slow these days with lots of beach balls popping up and - especially in Aperture.

I've been told the applications on the desktop might run faster if I put the iTunes and Aperture libraries and pretty much any other "data" on a separate drive.

I am seeking an expandable external storage solution that is accessible over a fast connection.

[seamuswarren]

…continued… :)

Drobo or another vendor I was recently made aware of - a company called "Synology" may be the answer. :)

I use a wireless "N" network at home. Not sure if this is a "Gigabit" network so this is the first thing I need to clarify. :)

I saw a little Drobo video suggesting iSCSI over Ethernet is faster than Firewire 800.

My desktop has one Ethernet connection, one Firewire 800 connection and four USB 2.0 connections. Is the Ethernet connection a possible iSCSI input?

[asslister]

Is there a RAID option?

[TalesOfWar]

@asslister It uses it's own kind of RAID that makes use of it's own file system format and stuff.

[SeanDIDK]

Only if drobo has a better price point. There defiantly worth the price just very expensive.

[RideMyFeathers]

I'n not even interested in this product. I just watch this for the guy on the video.

[LucifersDisciple6]

would a 500watt 85% efficient psu handle a hd 5870 fine ? if not how about a hd5850 ?

system = AMD Phenom ll X2 550 @ 3.4ghz  4 gb ddr2 800mhz WD Green 750 gb

[motherboardsorg]

@LucifersDisciple6 It should

[LucifersDisciple6]

@motherboardsorg ty man.

[WenHan819]

@LucifersDisciple6 the easiest way to make sure is go on AMD's website and look at minimum requirements. You should also check whether or not you have correct connectors on your PSU

[TheDrunkenMantis]

I was thinking of getting/building a server in the future, do you recommend building your own, or buying a pre-built server system like this Elric?

[Brightinator]

@TheDrunkenMantis

Build your own and install a distro, so that you can run services such as ftp/ Jdownloader/Utorrent/sickbeard on it.

[Brightinator]
