Disks, lots of disks

Published by Brian at 1:01 pm under Computers, Funny, The Interweb

My friends, meet the EonStor A24F-R2224. 12 terabytes of fiber-attached RAID6 happiness sitting on my carpeting. Your 2 gigs of email are no match for it. It fears not your puny 1 gig of website files.

In fact, that blue light on the Dell is being illuminated simply by the eminating kick-ass-ness of the disk array. This geekout moment was brought to you compliments of The Linux Fix.

    Hopefully you have an offisite 12 TB too. Dell Hell is coming to an end. All in the name of bits and bytes.

    It’s going offsite eventually, it’s just easier to set everything up locally and then ship it to the co-lo.

    Jason sang your post in something that was supposed to resemble Gregorian Chant and then he bowed to it on his knees in front of the computer desk. He says he’s humbled by it.

    Dork.

    RAID-6 is lame. You see, when you get an array with 24 disks in it all at the same time, I will bet you one gigadollars that two of them will fail within a day of each other, thusly rendering your RAID-6 useless. I’ll bet you’ve already had a service interruption.
