    Anthony comes out as Transgender.
     
    So let's all welcome Emily, I hope she doesn't get too camera shy, we'd still love to see you.

    awponder got a reaction from scottyseng in RAID solution suggestions   
    Cons: - VERY slow sustained write speeds. Even slower than a single drive alone. Seeing right around 70MB/sec sustained writes (without caching on with no BBU).
    - VERY slow migration to add drives to the array. Longest one took 97 hours using bios-level migration.
    - External server email support is NOT in the windows version of the LSI software. Shawn Matthewson from LSI Customer Service said: "I am currently working on a way to use MSM with web based mail." on 7, April. But I have not heard since. To use SMTP email right now, you need your own, 'local' SMTP server.
    - Software far more complicated then it needs to be.
    - All of the best features require another license. The FastPath, etc. RAID 6 did work without the license though but... Alarms don't. For this price, that should all be included... Bad enough the BBU is extra.
    - Without a fan, gets VERY HOT! Good ventilation is REQUIRED.
