I bought a Drobo 1.0 a long long time before this thread existed because it was shiny and you could put drives of different sizes in it. I can only concur with the haters in this thread and say that it is slooooow, like glacial slow; I even bought the DroboShare which manages to make the evolution of the universe seem quick. I read the whole thread over the last few days and the D-Link DNS-323 seems to have popped up quite a lot and fits in with what I am prepared to spend. Looking on the UK Amazon page (UK Goon), it suggests to me there is a newer model, the DNS-320, which I haven't seen come up in this thread. Both are in stock and the newer model is a few pounds more expensive which doesn't bother me. Go for the newer model or stick with the tried and true? (I'm not bothered about going from four drives in the Drobo (3 x 1TB, 1 x 2GB, 2.71TB useable) to two in the D-Link, I have never even got close to half filling my Drobo before I get bored and delete stuff) [EDIT] Online reviews and the price has convinced me to get the newer DNS-320. What the hell, it can't be any slower than my Drobo

Nubile Cactus posted:I'm not sure what you mean by slow, but keep in mind the dns-323 is also pretty goddamn slow. Tops out at about 10MBps on gigE, maybe 15 if you're lucky. My music resides on my Drobo, if I add music to my iTunes Library while also listening to something in iTunes I get constant beach balls and the music stops. If I unrar something while watching a movie, the movie stutters and/or stops. This is directly attached, the DroboShare is worse. All I want to do is listen to flac files or at most 720p movies without stutters/pauses/beach balls

I hope this is the appropriate thread to post in. I have a N40L and am trying to make a bootable USB key to load the OS from - I'm planning on trying out unRAID. The USB key is a SanDisk Cruzer. I'm on a Mac (10.8.2) so I'm trying to follow the guide they give in their documentation here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/USB_Flash_Drive_Preparation#MacOS_X When I get to the part about installing the bootable MBR on the drive i just get the following error from terminal code:Dead Goon fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Nov 4, 2012 |

I use Mullvad as my VPN provider and this thread reminded me about Wireguard again. Everything is working very well.

I appreciate your comments, it's interesting to hear about *BSD, and the dedicated thread died on its arse and disappeared.
