Troubles

July 10th, 2009 gerbrand No comments

Arghhh… Had some bad days last week. Motherboard of my master computer crashed -> ordered new one together with the harddrives -> now my order seems to be lost. They ordered it again so I have to wait again until next week.

Then 2 days later my laptop crashed (Acer, 5 years old), I ordered a Dell (studio 15) this time. There I had troubles with the payment. Finally today he is ordered and in production. Delivery date is set in 2 weeks.

So hopefully I can start working on the NAS next weekend and get back again on programming when my master computer is back online or my new laptop has arrived.

Greetzz and until next post…

Some NAS news

June 6th, 2009 gerbrand No comments

Okay I told in an older post that I was going to start making my own NAS.

Because I got so much time :-) I only started now on looking for some harddrives that I could use. After some searching and keeping in mind my budget isn’t that large,
I decide to take some harddrives of Samsung ( SAMSUNG HD 753LJ PINPOINT 750GB SATA II 32MB 7200RPM 334GB/P 8.9MS ).

So I’m going to order 4 or 6 of them don’t know yet. Once I receive them, I’m going to build my NAS.

While waiting I will post some Telerik examples later on this week :-)

Greetings and until next post.

NAS (Network Attached Storage)

April 29th, 2009 gerbrand No comments

Some 2 weeks ago I had a harddrive crash. Luckily I could recover everything. But this got me start to think about a NAS. And since I have an old computer standing here doing nothing I thought -> Why not make my own NAS just in case some other harddrive starts thinking about making him crash.

So I started searching for some information on how to do this. And I came accross an interesting webpage. This freeware OS is called FreeNas. This should manage you hole NAS.

Next I looked if somebody has a good tutorial in doing this. I cam accross theses sites/videos:

- geekyprojects.com
- internmentcamp.com
- youtube.com

Now with all this information I think I’m going to give it a shot and try it myself. So in a few days I’m going to post the results/comments.

Greetzzz and until next post
