For SSD drive, I often see specifications like 200GB, 400GB, 800GB, 1.6TB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB, 7.68TB (For example, HPE 7.68TB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF SC Multi Vendor SSD)

Is there a hardware/architectural reason that makes it go from 1.6TB to 1.92TB, instead of having 3.2/6.4TB hard drives?

There's a 1TB HDD which is somehow corrupted. It has only one partition and it's LUKS-encrypted, as far as I know. The password is known. The HDD used to prompt for the password right after it was mounted, but now it doesn't mount automatically as before, and there's no password prompt anymore. Also, the device doesn't appear in the list of available devices in Linux Mint's GUI. However, it's discoverab ...

I have an HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 (VMWare 7u3 installed) with 2 pieces of 960GB SSD RAID1 arrays (total of ~1+1=2GB usage). The rest of the configuration is like

Recently acquired a 1U Supermicro E3-1230 with two 3.5" drive bays, and thinking of buying two 18TB SATA-3 hard drives for it. Before I make this investment, would anyone know if SATA-2 (3 Gbps) would support 18TB drives with their full 18TB capacity, with a motherboard BIOS date from 2011?

All SATA docs talk about the speed difference between SATA-2 (3 Gbps) and SATA-3 (6 Gbps), and little abou ...

we have HP server HP ProLiant ML10 Gen 9 with Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. We have enabled Raid 1 array for two HDD sized 2TB using Intel RST Raid configuration (which is an fake/firmware raid). Now my goal is to replace the faulty Drive and rebuild the Raid 1 array.

I recently added a drive to my server. However, I check my computer this morning to find the drive doesn't show up on NTFS and I noticed that all folders and files were gone from that mount point on the server.

I have a server with 8 drive bays, and I have eight 4TB drives. Would it be best to do one RAID10 with all drives, or one RAID1 with two drives and then a RAID10 with the remaining six so that the operating system (Windows Server) has its own drive (and not just a partition)?

The large disk will house 1-3 VHDXs. My priorities are first: redundancy, second: write speed, third: read speed. Backups ...

BACKGROUND

I currently use a hybrid server-workstation setup for my primary workstation. Basically, just a Fedora base running Linux KVM, on which I then containerize a couple Linux flavors & a Windows Install for use as my Workstations, along with the ability to quickly create containers for use in testing.

The CURRENT Physical Storage layout is as follows:

• Intel 390A Chipset
• iRST as a "hardwar ...

I have an existing raid1 array on a pair of 3TB drives.

I also have a pair of 14TB drives.

I want to partition the 14TB drives into the exact size of the 3TB drives so I can create another raid1 array with mdadm and then use btrfs ra ...

What I mean is, for test purpose, Can I change the disk size showed for Windows without actually increase it.

For example, in "this computer", the real disk size is: 50gb, but I'd like to change some setting on windows to make it think that the disk is 100gb. And of course, some way to return the correct size.

I am trying to install a new HDD in my DS1515+. The hard drives are brand new Seagate Exos X.

I have bought 3 of these drives, and 1 of them works fine and is now part of my storage pool, but the other 2 gives me an error when I install them in the DS. The error is "Multiple reset command errors have occurred...".

From the Storage Manager, I cannot continue and the system won't let me intialize the  ...

I want to check what is the disk queue length of a physical hard drive, on which a specified folder is stored e.g. /home/andy250/myfiles I want to check this automatically via script.

I have a disk which was apparently put into PUIS mode with hdparm. As the disk does not spin up on power on automatically, I think I need to send it directly to the USB device (which is not even recognized as the device doesnt turn on)

I think this means the device is bricked but maybe someone has a solution? The disk is a Western Digital My Passport 4TB with a WD Blue inside, model number WD40NM ...

I wanted to clone an encrypted drive to a new drive, so I set up CloneZilla to do a disk-to-disk clone. At the beginning, it said 9 hours to run, so I let it run overnight. The next day, it had 145 hours remaining. I figured I could just wipe the disk, so I forcibly stopped the operation.

Now, the disk shows the partition table (GPT) and the partitions from the original disk, but I can't wipe it. ...

In our server, we have four SSDs. The first one is for OS, and the remaining three are for RAID0.

Today, the disk mount corresponding to RAID0 suddenly goes missing. When I check the disks, the 3rd disk in the RAID0 says there is one bad sector, and it displays 1.0GB instead of 1.9TB.

Although the assessment says that Disk is OK, but the volumes show 1.0 GB Unknown instead of 1.9TB Linux RAID Member ...

On my Windows Server I found folder C:\FusionLogs that occupies a lot of Gigabytes on my disk. Can I delete files from this folder to obtain freee disk space?

I'm using SQL Server running on an Azure VM with 8 SSDs. The SSDs are grouped together in Storage Spaces as 1 disk - in order to increase the capacity and also to combine the IOPS/Throughput. But the "combine the IOPS" part just doesn't seem to be working as far as I can tell by all of my tests/benchmarks (the "combine the throughput" part is working though). In fact, it looks like the SSD performance ( ...

I have a server, CentOS 7, that show disk usage on DF way higher than you can see on DU and I trying to understand why

Any idea how to identify it?
