Good file server \ NAS options?

Thanks for the education guys... I think i'm going to just install Windows Server for the time being. Maybe later when I can afford some more RAM i'll try it again.

Good file server \ NAS options?

Thanks for the responses everyone. I have offsite backups of all my data so that isn't an issue. I decided to download it and install it just to see how it looks. After it installed it took a long time to boot up, lots of activity on the 16GB USB flash drive I used. After about 15 minutes it was...

Good file server \ NAS options?

I don't have a lot of free time so i'm hoping some of you in the storage would can give me a few suggestions. Right now I have a custom built PC running a AMD Athlon X2 6000+ at 3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, and 4x WD 3 TB Red's on a Highpoint RocketRaid 2320 in one RAID-5 volume. I've been running...

What to upgrade with only $200?

I don't understand your question. I set the AA to 2x and the game now runs smoothly with 6+ AI cars, where before at 8x AA it would slow to 15-20 fps. Basically i'm trying to find out what video card would solve my AA issues, I would like to turn it back to 8x. But if I am not going to get much...

What to upgrade with only $200?

Ok i've spent a good deal of time playing NFS SHIFT with the only setting changed being anti aliasing which has been set to 2x. I've played some 10 player single player races and it ran smoothly. So now i've determined anti aliasing is the problem.... what can I do to solve it? Is the 512 MB...

What to upgrade with only $200?

I have tried lowering the settings... I don't recall it helping framerates much when playing against several AI racers. Plus... lowering settings really makes seeing where the track goes in the distance quite difficult. With my 37" screen sitting about 1.5 meters away I can see where the track...

NVRAID & HDD driver install after login issues

Well I still dont really understand what exactly that would do and why I would need to do it. Until I see a good reason I'm not going to try it. The reason I RAIDed these drives and split it into two partitions (one 20 GB for system/OS, and the rest 480 GB for data/games) is for speed...

NVRAID & HDD driver install after login issues

Thanks for your reply. Is this necessary for RAIDed drives in Windows? It is currently set to Basic, of course. I've done dynamic before on data drives in the past, but never on a OS/boot drive. It is saying I wont be able to start other OS's if I convert to dynamic, which I guess is fine...
