One of my coworkers once went out to a customer site to investigate some server performance issues they'd been having, which we suspected was due to bad disk performance. One of the things they were excessively proud of was the giant RAID gizmo that they hosted all their stuff on. "See," their sysadmin said, "I even can pull the plug on this box here, and the rest of them pick up the load with no interruption to service at all!"
To demonstrate, he pulled the plug out of the wall, and their servers promptly ground to a halt. :-D Guess he wasn't using one of these bulletproof HP gizmos.

I would just like to know what was Actually hit in the video. It looks like it went through blank PCB board, passing by all the solder connections and chips.

Well, they explained it; its a raid 10 array. big woop. Its not an HP thing, its a raid configuration thing. Yes, you can ostensibly stuff so many hard drives into a box that you can kill half of them with the other half taking over. The technology has been out for at least 2 years. |
I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Longer 'n that. RAIDs were old news when I was a freshman in college, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Jeez you guys -- shoot a bullet through your RAID controller card/chip and see if the RAID keeps working...

I know my workplace's IT department has daily shootouts, so this is a handy bit of technology.

Might be handy for me - but I work in law enforcement where a number of my coworkers are armed. |
