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 ...

The most difficult thing is not even to pick up packages to replace Synology services with free ones, but to support their work, promptly responding to glitches and updates.

I bet that most of our readers have never heard of such a term as "CPU supplier persification", and yet, it does not matter whether you see a gopher or not, but it is ...

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 ...

This is a 5-disk file server, expandable to 10 disks using an external module.
