Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 2019 Registered: Sep-09 | na, no logs. i am using a software raid not hardware so its not that big of an issue. Western Digital manufactures desktop edition hard drives and RAID Edition hard drives. Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically as a stand-alone drive, or in a multi-drive RAID environment. If you install and use a desktop edition hard drive connected to a RAID controller, the drive may not work correctly. This is caused by the normal error recovery procedure that a desktop edition hard drive uses. Note: There are a few cases where the manufacturer of the RAID controller have designed their cards to work with specific model Desktop drives. If this is the case you would need to contact the manufacturer of that controller for any support on that drive while it is used in a RAID environment. When an error is found on a desktop edition hard drive, the drive will enter into a deep recovery cycle to attempt to repair the error, recover the data from the problematic area, and then reallocate a dedicated area to replace the problematic area. This process can take up to 2 minutes depending on the severity of the issue. Most RAID controllers allow a very short amount of time for a hard drive to recover from an error. If a hard drive takes too long to complete this process, the drive will be dropped from the RAID array. Most RAID controllers allow from 7 to 15 seconds for error recovery before dropping a hard drive from an array. Western Digital does not recommend installing desktop edition hard drives in an enterprise environment (on a RAID controller). Western Digital RAID edition hard drives have a feature called TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) which stops the hard drive from entering into a deep recovery cycle. The hard drive will only spend 7 seconds to attempt to recover. This means that the hard drive will not be dropped from a RAID array. While TLER is designed for RAID environments, a drive with TLER enabled will work with no performance decrease when used in non-RAID environments. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 24721 Registered: Jun-06 | Seriously though, I've been a fan of racks in all sorts of apps. Stereo, computer, ect. I've even asked over in the home audio section about a rack for all my home audio gear and I get blown off like some tard. I like the organization and clean workability it provides. You see what you have and how you want the flow to go. More like being an architect. Which it is technically. I'd love all my gear to be on one rack. Because I still have audio stored on tape (yes it may be old fashioned now but WTF) I still have dual tape players and external equalizers to play with the mix. God I feel old all of the sudden. Again lol. |

Does your job include something along with computers? I just recently got a job as a IT Help Desk person. Really excited for it! |
