I've got 3 x NAS, 1 @ 500Gb, 1 @ 1TB and 1 @ 4 x 1TB and they all are as slow as feck and it can take all night just to copy 1 310Gb partition of the desktop onto any of them Its really infuriating especially as the speed of PC's and their drives have increased. They are all connected via a 1Gb ethernet backbone and when I run BlackMagic speed test it crawls along. Anyone have any ideas how these can be speeded up at all?
This is why am getting rid of all of mine...
Before: MBP with 1TiB PCIe SSD streaming to Seagate NAS with 2x 2TiB "Seagate NAS" drives in it connected to Gig ethernet and then 5GHz WiFi off a FritzBox. Initial Time Machine backup time?
7 fecking hoursAfter: MBA with 256Gb PCIe SSD streaming directly over USB-C to 512Gb Samsung 850 Pro SSD. Initial Time Machine backup time?
13 minutesI don't want any mechanical disks or network drives any more.
Well so much for repairing scope... Found another NAS in the cupboard so had to jerry rig a pile of shite to erase the disks on it
You barely have room for your kit, but have forgotten NASs stashed troughout the house?
I get given car loads of discarded and usually unused IT crap at the end of contracts a lot. It is supposed to go on ebay but it goes in "The Tetris cupboard" as SWMBO calls it in the hall. My objective for 2018/2019 was to clean it out. Unfortunately it's also "The Tardis cupboard". I don't even remember half of what's in it. I've shifted over 100Kg of crap out of it (by shipping weight) so far!
I found an HP DL380 G4 chassis in it last year. No RAM, disks or CPUs though. Went down the tip.
Put the dishwasher back together and it is so badly damaged that it requires a new fascia and they want £42 delivered it I can get new dishwasher delivered for £220
I understand that it will cost more to build anything from spare parts but at a guesstimate it would me around £600 to £700 to build the same dishwasher from the makers spares dept, they really are taking the piss here
I'd just pay it myself. That's the most expensive bit of the machine!
