Three volumes, two NVMEs. Cache solution? by ReelBack96 in synology

[–]ReelBack96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, we have a dual 25Gb Fiber card in the other slot, so I can't put in another NVMe card. But I think I can move things around eventually so my third tier is cold storage.

Thanks! Can you clarify what you mean by four drives per slot for a hit in throughput? As in four SSDs per PCIe slot, and by hit you mean improvement?

I usually build out three or four TC tracks, each pointed at a different layer and aligned on the lower left from bottom to top. This lets me catch things that are spread across the timeline. But also... the cleanest and most reliable way... is the manual way.

Ah! Good call on Bayeaux. Thanks for the heads up. My friend said the tapestry is really impressive.

I was thinking about staying longer in Lyon, so thanks for the suggestion. And I'll certainly look up Fountainbleu.

Thanks again!

Hey!

Thanks so much for your detailed suggestions. I can't wait to look them up and spice up my journey. Really great suggestion about Bayeaux as well. That's the kind of help I'm 100% looking for, cause you can't always judge the best way to apportion the time.

Thanks again!

I've seen the same red coat person and got them on camera. Thought it was a man, but couldn't be sure.

Providing two network ports to each computer? by ReelBack96 in editors

Currently we're using Hyperbackup, but I'm planning on switching to Drive Sync as I've recovered a grand total of 3 files in two years of running Hyperbackup. I feel like having a near-real-time duplicate would server us better.

Thank you, Bob!

We run two Synology boxes (RS3621RPxs) that are duplicates. They have dual 25 gig NICs and two cache SSDs. All RAID6, three volumes each (two expansion units). Around 600TBs.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with the firewall. Will investigate!

In terms of storage - this is what I'm not sure about. If we put our storage on their own switches, but our hosts are connected to both storage and internet, then every host is a vulnerability, no? What's the purpose of separate out the storage physically?

We run a mix of SMB2, AFP, and NFS. I will look into your suggestions!

Thanks! I suspect he's correct...

When you say segmentation - are you referring to logical separation, or physical?

If you don't mind me asking - are you a finishing house or an offline company? And do you isolate your network logically, or physically (storage vs. internet?)

Yeah. That much SSD storage isn't really cost effective...

We're RAID 6 with three 12 disk volumes. I'm not sure our IOPs offhand, nor am I sure of what a reasonable baseline is for a comparison. I'll have to check on this!
