2.4 and 5 ghz same SSID or different
Separate SSIDs for my main setup - since clients aren't likely to automatically choose "best".- stevech

Time Warner perhaps Router/Modem issue? limited download
Hard to get 300Mbits/sec (Mbps, not MBps) from ISP for your WiFi clients. Most WiFi clients are movers - handhelds or oft-m0ving laptops/tablets. If the client doesn't move, and needs high speeds, it needs to be wired. My ISP is 100/10Mbps net yield per speedtest.net and a good local server...- stevech

NAS advice
I have to admit... the VM service was "too cheap" compared to competitors'. I should have not trusted that sales guy. He's long gone. To be fair... using a cloud service for backups is a far lower risk, than using a VM service that is live 24/7.- stevech

Synology just dismissed this report from me... "We don't support DAS". I counterered, but to no avail. Oh well. The Cheapie enclosure for JBOD/RAID0 is what it is. -

is Synology right for my needs (vs DUI)? Network/NAS update
I just tried Xpenology... under Oracle VM on my Win 7 I5 PC. With that VM, I've run Windows and Apple OSX. But when I have the VM power up and boot Xpenology's CD, it runs fine, displays login prompt. But Synology Assistant does not detect the Xpenology NAS. My real DS212 is detected. I've... -

another curiosity.... Start with no USB drives plugged in. Plug in my Seagate USB3 2TB drive (2.5in. bus powered). Comes up normally in the NAS external devices display. Plug in the 2 bay enclosure. Does not come up in the NAS. (Hot-plug does work after reboot) Leave both plugged in. Reboot... -

another thought... there are 100s of GB of drive images produced by Acronis that were copied to the box. Acronis can validate the structure of that. Also the zip files can be validated. -

If there was a sector address scramble (LBA mapping to two drives) error in the chip firmware, I'd guess that it would affect inodes/directories as well as blocks containing data, and fsck would find errors. Yes? -

USB3 has added pins pushed back behind the 4 USB2 pins. My 2.5 in. USB3 enclosure uses the micro USB3 w/power pins. You can see the added pins with good light and a magnifying lens. -

hmm.. I just opened the box. I was mistaken: it's configured for RAID0 (stripe), not JBOD. I'd think it doesn't matter to the USB3 host PC/NAS. I plugged its USB3 cable into my windows 7 PC and ran the ext4 mounter program: "Disk Internals Linux Reader". It saw the volume and its name. But it... -

I noted As of 2012, the Linux kernel also had native UAS support, but it had compatibility problems with Texas Instruments chipsets.[16] The Linux driver had "broken" status from December 2012[17] until September 2013.[18] Version 3.18-rc4 of the Linux kernel disables buggy UAS implementation in... -

I may grab one! USB2 says 0.5A per socket but vendors make little attempt to comply. It's probably worse with USB3 at 2.5A. But my 2.5 inch 2TB is USB 3 bus powered. I'll have to try it on a USB2 socket rated at 0.5A. Or make a dummy load tester. -

I know what SCSI is/was, but SCSI over USB3? 4TB on a 2.5 inch? Is it 7200RPM? Sounds like it is NOT one of those drives that has the USB controller on the drive's PCB and has no SATA connector. "new Linux" kernels.. how would that match up with QNAP/Synology OS revisions? I'm not rushing... -

Fry's excels at selling flaky China stuff they buy for big discounts. I'd never count on that box as a primary store, but as a first-order backup, which it isn't, that's just as bad. -

I wonder how I can verify the backup via USB3. The box had a backup done with USB2. Today I ran the same backup job with USB3. It was a differential I suppose, as it finished in an hour or so, whereas on USB2, the first full bakcup took maybe 8 hours. GUIs.. are nice. I'm sure you've suffered... -

wow. thanks. the last format on that box was done on the synology, USB2 port. Backup to that drive is not the primary backup. The primary is the 2nd drive/volume in the NAS. Next is a 2.5 inch drive enclosure USB3 with a 2TB drive. I just got this 2 drive bay box on a whim; it was only $50 at...
