Guys, if you're trying to use RAID 1 (as it seems like you are since you say 20 x 2 disks), you're probably going to need 2 cases to keep them separate in case one is lost or damaged. You could probably get by with using some major compression if need be. It can be compressed and uncompressed in real-time via Linux or Windows, though Linux will offer more options for compression algorithms. Also, if anyone wants to take a look, I've got something going as well. http://www.gofundme.com/18zs84 |

As we have surpassed our goal for the Green Bank Telescope Array, Mr. Kevvy has offered to continue his matching pledge onto our Hydrogen Array Project. Seriously, you're using JBOD?! If even one disk fails, you lose everything. Use either RAID 1+0, RAID 5 or (my favorite) RAID 6. |

As we have surpassed our goal for the Green Bank Telescope Array, Mr. Kevvy has offered to continue his matching pledge onto our Hydrogen Array Project. Your work units are being served off of a JBOD right now that we built using the same partition system. Executive Director GPU Users Group Inc. - brad@gpuug.org |

What can I say... this fundraising weekend has completely exceeded my expectations. I expected that maybe we'd collect $930 for the Green Bank Data Transport package in three days. Instead, that was collected in only a few hours, and we've taken in... $3419.43 Not only was the Green Bank Package taken care of completely by donors without me having to match donations, but we're only a few hundred from also getting the Hydrogen Array + SETI Storage System, and it isn't even Monday yet! This would leave me nothing to kick in for. The original promise was that I would match contributions up to $930, half of the original amount required for the Green Bank Package. Even though far less than this is now required, I would be doing a disservice to this awesomely generous community if I did any less, so... Thank you for your gift of $930.00 via Visa on 10/07/2012. Your gift was assigned to the following areas: SETI@home - $930.00 Your confirmation number is: 98420 Any excess funds donated through GPUUG can be put to work on the next project by Slavac, who I'd like to thank for doing an amazing and diligent job tracking all the donations while I was busy with other things this weekend. Thank you again to everyone who donated! |

You can see these purchases by visiting http://www.gpuug.org/purchases That wraps up this fundraiser for the weekend. I'd like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who helped make this fundraiser a huge success. In one fell swoop, thanks to the initiative of Mr. Kevvy we have finished two projects for SETI at Home. _______________________________________________________________ What this fundraiser means for the project: Green Bank: SETI at Home will now have 20 2TB hard drives (total of 40TB) with which to transport data between our observation telescopes and the SETI labs. These drives specifically are Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Drives. Thanks to this fundraiser they will also have a Turtle Hard Drive Transport case which is essentially a Pelican case specifically designed for 20 hard drives at a go. We've tested these cases now for several months and thus far they've performed great. They're a huge improvement over our standard cardboard and foam transport boxes. This case is specifically the case found at this link http://www.turtlecase.com/productdetails.aspx?productid=603 Hydrogen / SETI Storage Array: We've purchased the remaining 16 hard drives for the SETI Hydrogen / Storage array. For those unaware, this array will utilize one partition of drives to fulfill the needs of the lab's Hydrogen Array. The other partition will serve as a test bed for SETI Data Storage. Our hopes are that in house data storage will be successful. If so, we will be moving toward increasing our in house data storage for SETI at Home, a prospect which will save the lab a significant amount of money which in turn will free up funding for other improvements in the lab. Prior to this Weekend Fundraiser, we had purchased 20 drives for the Hydrogen / Storage array and when coupled with today's purchases, we've completely filled the JBOD. For this array we've purchased 36 of these drives in total http://www.compsource.com/pn/0F12115/Hitachi_196/Deskstar-7k3000-Hds723020bla642-Hard-Drive/ ________________________________________________________________ Closing Notes: I'd like to sincerely thank Mr. Kevvy for spearheading this fundraising weekend and our wonderful donors for contributing a stunning amount of funds. It makes me proud to see so many donors helping to improve the infrastructure of this project. Lastly if you'd like to help contribute to SETI, please consider a donation to the 2012 Marathon Pledge Drive.
