Mirror Server Update

Recommended Posts

The files mirror server ate a drive over the weekend and will be offline until one arrives to replace it.  After 2 long years of pounding away day in and day out we have to say goodbye to our dearly departed friend. Never again will I buy Seagate crap I'll stick with Western Digital. Had some WD drives that are 20 years old and still going strong. What a waste of good platters.

I agree with WD. I have a very evil WD Black in my server... :biggrin:  :biggrin:   although it has 3-4 visitors a day besides me

I've used Seagate HDDs on all my PCs going back to the first Medalist 20 mb  that I had on my first PC, back in 1985, That is, until about 7 years ago, when my 3 - 6 month old 500 GB Barracudas started experiencing major data-loss issues (I went through four of them in three years).  

 

Today, I find that even the entry-level WD Blue drives are much more robust and have faster read/write times than more expensive and supposedly faster Barracudas.

 

But as I was discussing with Wrench yesterday evening, back in the late 90s, WD had a spate of issues with their 4.3 and 6.4 GB drives.

New drive is in and ready to rock 'n roll.  I'll start the process to mirror our files shortly and before too long (22 days or so) it should have a complete copy of everything here. The links to the mirror will automatically restore on each file as it's duplicated on the mirror.

 

All systems up and running.
