    How To Interpret S.M.A.R.T data?

    Yes, the "status" is not helpful sometimes. The raw data can be misleading as well since sometimes raw data is published as several values (or rates) crammed into one hex value. For instance, your value of "7A03D8 works out to 7,996,376" it COULD be 7,996,376, or it could be 7:996,376 or...

    400Gbps Ethernet Specification Arrives

    Not enough HD space to make it worthwhile. Regular coax will already easily do 300 Mbps. That will fill up a 3 TB drive in a day if you thinking of downloading.

    Would a Faster ZFS Slog drive for ZIL make sense?

    File recovery from a wifi device with internal storage

    Would not be possible I believe, since they would communicate with the device via a protocol like CIFS, SMB, or NTP. None of which would allow you to access those deleted blocks. You would physically need to pull the drive from it.

    Is there a way to share a hard drive between 2 computers at the sametime?

    You can't directly "share" them as in have the same OS, same programs running on two computers at once. But you can share individual files or space on the hard drives

    So I have a Raid 6 array, but is slow. Raid 10 any better?

    I agree usage scenario dictates your setup. My comment was based on the fact that in this thread you were pushing RAID 6 as a do-all magic bullet

    So I have a Raid 6 array, but is slow. Raid 10 any better?

    The only thing is that the only real world performance numbers that matter are the 4K/4KQ32. You can see that the RAID 10 beats the RAID 6. Also you kinda stacked the deck with your IOmeter settings. Set it to 100% random and 50% read and then post the graph

    Have Basic Questions About SED

    The BIOS TPM method utilizes an onboard storage chip for the decryption key. It is found in enterprise motherboards and laptops. My laptop from 2010 has it. When you enter your BIOS password it allows the chip to send it's own key to the drive that was generated during configuration. If the...

    Best setup for a boot- SSD and HDD everything else setup

    Let them figure it out, it's 2015, computers are ubiquitous they should start knowing this stuff it isn't going away. Just leave everything on the ssd, if you aren't using it you are getting no benefits from it. Just like saying you want 32gb of ram, but only feel comfortable using 8gb of it.

    10 Samsung 2tb drives, every drive writes with different speed.
