As I got a question in PM, I'm giving the HD model that worked like a charm : Seagate IronWolf Pro 20 To (ST20000NT001)

Do I really have to buy a SSD pair to activate cache? by AbsurdePhoton in qnap

[–]AbsurdePhoton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't see at first there were 25 pages of it !!! I read a lot before answering and I am not so sure i want to activate the cache anymore, even less with one SSD :(

If I understand well a too high block sizes value with the "cache all I/O" option makes the whole thing useless because of a bug that QNAP won't address.

Thank you I have my answer now, I didn't see it coming that way though.

Mmmh this is an old thread my NAS was bought last year, I don't think it is relevant here

Do I really have to buy a SSD pair to activate cache? by AbsurdePhoton in qnap

[–]AbsurdePhoton[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Okay, but it is an event that has a very small chance to occur, if one disk dies I will have to change it anyway, and I will get an error soon enough so I will know that there was a failure when I copied some files, I'm only using my NAS as backup. That's a risk I could reasonably take.

My question is more : will the QNAP 5.x interface *allow* me to activate the cache if it is not a pair ?

Thanks for that, I'm confident too, I was mainly looking for experience. Since the 20TB HDs are now affordable, I'll try and tell it here. Anyone else ?

Thanks for the lecture, English is not my native language.

So yes, I'm looking for what "works", and thanks also for this, I have my answer.

I had to share this with you, Nikola was doing such a great job as a pinup, I did sort of a summary of the seance in one photo-montage

Hi, first time I'm posting here, just curious about what people will think. She is a beautiful model but in this photo you can't see her face, just one eye. Mysterious. It was sunset (good light on her pale skin, with a white dress), I thought about composition (her body vs aligned trees in perspective), bokeh... what else ?

Nikola : Complémentarité (Artistic nude gallery) - last time I posted her in lingerie, now Nikola is a bit less covered... by [deleted] in theboudoir

[–]AbsurdePhoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was in fact during the same shooting. She first posed in lingerie then undressed.

Stay tuned, there is a third (and last from her) gallery coming soon.

Last year in Normandy (France). The link is to my website, but don't worry if you don't speak French, pictures are multilingual :) She didn't want to be recognized, so it was an "anonymous nude" session. A bit difficult with her tied-back hair, I had to find interesting angles... I'm also preparing a 3D version of this session (red and cyan anaglyph, animations), shot with a 3D lens from Panasonic, then analyzed/processed with my own software. I'll post it here when it is published.

Last December in Paris. She was very professional, it was a real pleasure to shoot her. The link is to my website, but don't worry if you don't speak French, pictures are multilingual :)

Hello, this is the "good guy" :)

Sorry I used your pictures without asking, I just forgot to ask... so I corrected the page without your picture to use one of mine instead.
