RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the market. The abundance of drives and software features of RAID/HBA make you approach this choice as responsibly as possible, otherwise you may lose data. RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the ...

First dual-controller storage from Synology, marketed as iSCSI storage for virtualization hosts. We will test how quickly it switches between controllers and how it recovers back. Perhaps since Synology released its first rackmount NAS, at all press conferences the company has been asked when will they release a 2-controller solution? The manufacturer himself explained for a long time that the company has a High Availability solution for organizing NAS into a cluster, that in the modern ...

Aquantia network chips are increasingly being distributed as an expensive home or low-cost business solution for 10-Gigabit networks. We compared the company's youngest chip with Intel's flagship network card when working with file operations, and the results were amazing. The young company Aquantia was not known to anyone 2-3 years ago, and today its network controllers have become a passport to the world of 10-Gigabit networks for thousands of gamers around the world. This brand entered ...

This SAN storage system has many features that make it worth paying attention to. First of all, this is the RAID 2.0+ technology, thanks to which in our testing, RAID 5 survived a fall of 6 drives! In addition, this is an extended work with snapshots, because each of them can be mounted as a separate LUN, automatic LUN reduction and much more. Huawei storage systems are relatively new, and today the Chinese manufacturer successfully competes with brands such as Dell/EMC, Netapp and HPE. ...

This file server will be of interest to large companies. It is assembled on the basis of a fast Intel Celeron M processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz, it has support for a reliable file system ZFS, two network ports with aggregation, the ability to stack and connect via USB to a computer. But the most interesting thing is dynamic iSCSI partitioning, which will save space for iSCSI connections. We have already covered Thecus file servers. This company is interesting for its non-standard ...

In this article, we will look at the advantages offered by RAID arrays and compare four IDE RAID controllers from manufacturers such as 3ware, Adaptec, HighPoint and Promise. Today hard drive manufacturers are very tough competition among themselves. In this struggle, they are forced to increase the volume of their hard drives, releasing larger and larger disks. Unfortunately, the volume of media is often counterbalanced by their reliability. Most HDD manufacturers have already reduced the ...

The amount of data stored in the world not only continues to grow, but is growing faster than predicted. It was expected that the share of data stored on flash and solid state drives would increase, while the amount of data stored on hard drives and tape would decrease. However, today it is clear that all three technologies continue to evolve simply because they require a lot of storage capacities. Where are we going to store this much data? Thanks to engineers and programmers, the capacity ...
