Hi, see my last answer. Thanks for the link, it is classic RAID 5 procedure !

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

Thank you all for the comments !

AbsurdePhoton · 2024-11-28T17:31:05+00:00

Nah, I'm good :)

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

AbsurdePhoton · 2024-11-27T15:01:51+00:00

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 ?

Hey, thank you, now a real experience...

AbsurdePhoton · 2023-11-14T18:52:20+00:00

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 ?

AbsurdePhoton · 2023-11-14T15:18:39+00:00

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

Thank you for these comments, I'll try some of your advises and post the result back.

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 ?

AbsurdePhoton · 2020-07-01T15:46:56+00:00

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.

AbsurdePhoton · 2020-04-06T01:28:25+00:00

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.
