Re: Power Supply for multiple disks?

hours it's not unreasonable for a 1-second latency for the system to come back up, provided that it provides full response after that. -- Dan Jones, Storage Engineer VA Linux Systems V:(408)542-5737 F:(408)745-9130 1382 Bordeaux Drive [EMAIL

Re: Power supply for multiple disks

ions as motherboards draw most of the +5V. However, drive requirements for +5V have decreased over time while +12V loading has increased. Both older power supplies and cheaper PS depend upon +5V being loaded sufficiently to provide good regulation of all voltage outputs. -- Dan Jones, Storage

Re: Mylex config

. If you intervene i.e. AltR atthe BIOS prompt, the controller aborts the recovery process and does not provide and further guidance. You are then entirely on your own and 9 times out of 10 will screw up. Or, is it 10 times out of 10. I forget. -- Dan Jones, Storage Engineer VA

Re: Benchmarking.. how can I get more out of my box?

that results from reducing the segment size in the Mylex controller indicates to me that there remains a lot of room for tuning in linux for sequential transfers. -- Dan Jones, Storage Engineer VA Linux Systems V:(408)542-5737 F:(408)745-9130 1382 Bordeaux Drive [EMAIL
