Upgrade the disks in RAID 6 array: what is the best

• PERC 710 add physical disks for RAID 5 virtual disk and keep data

  I think to set up a physical disk 4 RAID 5 array on my new PowerEdge T320.  That should give me enough space to last long.  I have two empty slots of HD.  If I need more space, later, I'll be able to add one or two additional physical disks without losing the data already on the virtual disk?  If so, how?  I don't see a way to do this in the manual of Perc 710.

  Thank you

  Yes, it is "doable" later.  This can be done in the PERC BIOS, but it can be done in OMSA (OpenManage Server Administrator) within the OS.

  One thing to keep in mind is the limit of 2 TB "floppy" Windows on BIOS systems compatible.  If you plan to 4x4TB disks in a RAID 10, that TB ~ 8 'disc' will be converted to the GPT and BIOS UEFI boot mode value.

• First cs5, raid 0 (2 discs) what is the best to 2 discs to use for avchd/hdv?

  I want to scratch (2) 2 TB set for Raid 0 disks. What is the best readers in use for editing avchd/hdv? What is the size of the cache matter? 3 discs would be faster or is my processor the neck of the bottle.

  Windows 7, 2 + year old Quad Core Q9650 @ 3 GHZ, Nvidia Geforce GTS450, first cs5, 8 GB of ram.

  I have 1 system disk of 10 000 rpm

  & an existing (disc 2) 1 gig each Raid 0 for all the video/audio/project files...

  I want to add a 2nd raid 0. Hoping for RT more with the 2nd most recent raid without changing the MB or CPU.

  Rather than investing in drives of 2 TB, register and upgrade your whole system. A Q9650 is about 6-8 times slower than a fast system and it your main bottleneck using AVCHD.

• Tecra S1: It is possible to upgrade the 80 GB HARD disk

  It is possible to upgrade the hard drive on my Tecra S1 on a 80 GB HDD +. If Yes, what is the maximum size and can recommend a disk.

  I found some info, and it seems that you can only use a 30/40 and 60 GB HARD drive.
  I guess that the 80 GB HARD drive will not be recognized by the BIOS correctly.

• What are my options to upgrade the video card?

  I have a HP OMNI 200-5380qd ALL-IN-ONE

  I5 760 2.80 GHz (quad) CPU

  6 GB OF RAM

  ATI Radeon HD 5570 1 GB

  Windows 7 64 bit

  Essentially, I play Starcraft 2.  For multiplayer I'm late from time to time, and it boots me out.  I thought that my system was adequate and it was a problem with the internet connection.  So I upgraded my modem and service to 50 Mbps and a new modem Arris TG 852.  Well, it seems to do the trick for a day or two without lag.  But his back.

  I have updated all drivers, cleaned up all the disks, defraged possible, I'm not under the substantive programmes, and other than to have a regular shift with this game, my computer works very well.

  My only guess, is that my video card is the issue.  So if anyone has any other suggestions or has one advises on what the video card, I can switch to it would be much appreciated

  Here are the specifications of your HP Omni 200-5380qd desktop and its Quanta ZN2 (Matadi) motherboard. This computer is a laptop more than desktop in the design, therefore the standard of the shelf graphics cards will not work. It requires a Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM 3.0) graphics card... you will need a new HP card source to ensure the best chance a compatibility. Maps in the specifications are optional;

  GeForce G210 (512 MB) / manufacturer 594505-001 HP

  GeForce GT 230 (1 GB) / manufacturer 608545-001 HP

  GeForce GT 425M (1 GB)

  GeForce GT 425M (2 GB)<--->

  MXM 3.0 ATI (1 GB)<--->

  ATI MXM 3.0 (2 GB) / manufacturer 630586-001 HP

  This will be a costly and difficult to achieve upgrade and can not solve your problem. Most of the other posts on this subject, do not recommend.

• Replace the two disks in RAID 1 for new

  Hello

  I replaced both my RAID 1 disks for the new ones of the same size. I would like to know what is the best way to do it, I can clone the data from the old drive to the new and rebuild the raid 1 or is there a better way to do it?

  Concerning

  Hi Reignfire,

  Regarding the first part of your question, yes the RAID 1 will be re - build the table on the new hard drive.  However, the second part of your question was not considered, as we apply this method of replacement of hard drives in the case of a hard drive, otherwise, so I recommend that you back up all data before you try this.

  Please come back for clarification.

• during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

  during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

  When you install by creating media, allows to create a backup of a Virgin DVD USB or USB key installation files. (I recommend you do this in case you need to reinstall Windows 8 in the future).

  If you choose to not, Windows 8 will be a non-media from your hard drive installation automatically.

  Windows 8 simplifies the procurement process with an installer called Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant Web that makes it easy to download and create a local backup for future use. Digital distribution works this way, you download the installer, launch that and he will download Windows 8, the time it takes depends on the speed of your Internet connection ultimately. Microsoft noted that the Web Installer includes a sophisticated compression technology that downloads pieces in sections of 10 MB to ensure that its safe delivery. When you download the installer, the installer creates a folder called "WindowsESD" in the root of your drive C:\ (if you have multiple partitions that this case may be on another). From there, you will find a complete Windows disk image, you can burn it to a blank DVD and make your own physics, copy, or store it on a USB key.

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

• T61 - unsuccessful attempt to upgrade the HDD using "Acronis True Image - disk clone".

  T61, Win XP Pro,

  Problems with the free space on HDD - disk(160GB) factory original is more than 90% full.

  There are a lot of existing user settings and the user information on the HARD drive - of the specific settings for different network environments (home network, company network, VPN, etc.), specific applications, a lot of drivers for specific devices, many documents and photos and other information.

  So, we need to upgrade the disk, but we do not want to go back to factory state - we want to keep all existing user settings and user information.

  The existing drive was dismantled and connected to a standard desktop PC.

  And using "Acronis True Image Home" the existing drive has been cloned again drive WD Scorpio Black 320 GB.

  There is not any errors during the cloning process.

  But when we set up the new drive of the laptop, the OS has not started - black screen with blinking cursor only flashing white dash (top left). So, we put back the old disk, in order to work.

  After cloning, we see the new disk is similar, as it is on the old drive. There are two partition - hidden, system partition partition with Windows XP and all user folders and documents. Thus, we believe that the problem is only in part "start".

  Everyone can us advice what is the problem.

  Or we let another solution how to change the drive, but without going to the factory condition.

  Thank you

  Hi MitkoS and welcome to the Lenovo user community!

  Try a clone "reverse" as described in Acronis forums:

• 4.0, ESXi and 3Ware 9650SE Raid 10 array - now what?

  Hello-

  I installed ESXi 4.0 on a new server with the above mentioned RAID 10 array and that you have installed vSphere Client on a separate computer. Under storage cards, I see the following:

  ICH10 2 port SATA IDE Controller

  vmhba1 block SCSI

  vmhba34 block SCSI

  ICH10 4 port SATA IDE Controller

  vmhba0 block SCSI

  vmhba33 block SCSI

  iSCSI Software adapter

  iSCI adapter software iSCSI

  Mobo is a supermicro X8DAH + controller 3Ware is a 9650SE SATA 8LPML (8 ports) with 4 disks preconfigure RAID 10

  How can I get ESXi to see table so I can start installing VM?

  Also, leading me to http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15548.aspx

  Yes, this link seems to have enough detailed instructions on how to install the specific driver under ESX and ESXi.

  When I run Setup ESXi 4.0 DVD, there no option anywhere to load additional drivers?

  According to the article, your RAID device can only serve as secondary storage under ESXi.    If this is the case, I would be first to install ESXi to a small local SATA or USB.  After the initial installation, you can then follow the instructions in the article linked to download/install the driver for your RAID controller.  Then you can use your RAID array to store your guests on.

• I'll do a clean install on a blank hard drive upgrade but want to keep my Firefox settings - what is the best way to do this?

  I'll do an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. I will be installing Windows 7 on a new empty hard drive. I want to keep my bookmarks Firefox and Ad Ons. What is the best way to do it. Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.

  Learn you more about the Firefox profile folder, how to backup and restore, here.

  I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at in another option for you.

• Tecra A8 - what memory upgrade is the best?

  Hi all

  I have an old model TECRA A8 No.: PTA83E-0GY054G3 and I have recently upgraded to windows 7 (32 bit) and OFFICE10. But it is so slow that I am so fed up. I currently have 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512 2Rx16). Could someone tell me which is the best plug RAM for my computer to buy.

  1. can I buy 2x2gb or even 2 x 4 GB, or windows7 will recognize only 3 GB
  2. can I use pc3 techology or stick to PC2
  3. can I use more rapid frequency IE 667hz or stick to my memory 555hz.
  4. What is the maximum size in GB, each bank can read/accept
  Please advice the HIGHEST specifications I can put in this model and have no problem. And I need advice ASAP. I can't stand another day so slow

  Thanking you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  The manual shows as a result of information on RAM:
  256, 512, 1024, or modules of memory 2048MB can be installed in the two memory locations for a maximum of 4096MB (Intel Core Duo/Solo processor module).

  As far as I know your model has Intel Core Duo, which means that you can upgrade your laptop up to maximum capacity of 4 GB RAM.

  But Windows 7 32 bit supports only 3.2 GB of RAM so an upgrade to 3 GB of RAM would be sufficient.
  Specifications of new modules must be DDR2 at 667 MHz.

• Upgrade the hard disk on Tecra M9 will void the warranty?

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the hard drive on a Tecra M9 120 GB to a 200 GB Hitachi Travelstar 7K 200 hard drive SATA 3 GB/s. The coverage still apply for the Tecra after this upgrade?

  Kind regards

  charlieMOGUL

  Upgrading the HARD drive would not affect the validity of the guarantee.

  But I'm not sure on the size 200 GB HARD drive the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and not all dimensions are supported. If the HARD disk is too big, the BIOS would not recognize the new HARD disc.

  The problem is that Toshiba doesn't provide any information on HARD drive sizes possible.
  I think that you should just look at it

  If you have tested this HARD drive, please report it here in the forum I m very interesting if the 200 GB would run properly.

  Good bye

• ZBook 15u G2: is it possible to upgrade the G2 Zbook 15u from the 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 evo 500 GB SATA HARD disk?

  Turns out that the hard drive that I got this laptop when I bought it is not really meet my needs, and I'm looking to upgrade. I looked around, and the EVO of 850 SSD Samsung 500 GB seems a good choice for what I'm looking for.

  I just wanted to check if my cell phone is compatible with this ssd. My initial assumption is 'yes' but before I drop money I wanted to confirm this. For reference, I went to the start with the 500 GB SATA hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade the 500 GB Samsung ssd 850 evo.

  I can provide the SN of my laptop for reference, if needed.

  Hello

  The simple answer is Yes you can. You can use a standard SSD 2.5 "to replace the current HARD drive. And the Samsung is a good choice.

  Kind regards.
