That's interesting, I was unaware of that. I might consider that in the future, but it's mostly hd video which comes in 10s of GB at a time, it still wouldn't quite work out.

1.5TB to 3TB are not going to backup to an offsite location without a serious investment in bandwidth.

I'm fine with the solution as I haven't seen anything that comes anywhere near it price wise. I have a duplicate of 1.5TB of data stored off site for fire safety, and if one of the backup disks dies I just replace it. The likelyhood of the server and the backup drives dying at the same time is...

Instead of preaching how about suggestions?

It's for a friend's small business, and it's a hell of a lot better than nothing. Tape drives for this much data cost thousands of dollars, so don't go judging. It's an excellent solution for the situation.

1.5TB is just the current size of the array and will be growing soon, with a max size of 3.5TB. When I bought the 500GB disks the 3 of them cost the same as a 1TB disk at the time, so I guess to answer your question price is the major concern. The next drive I purchase for the backup group...

I'm trying to create a cheap offsite backup solution for 1.5TB of data. Currently I'm copying folders by hand to 3 500GB harddrives. Is there a backup program that will automate that for me? Tell me to pop in a new hotswappable SATA drive when the one it's using is full?

HOLY CRAP! According to the EnglishRussia page they used over 40 lbs of gold. According to www.goldprice.org gold is US$925 an oz. That's almost $600,000 in gold alone. W T F

Actually it makes a huge difference when dealing with backup software as in some scenarios I want to backup pictures and not videos, and I never want to backup downloads but of course I want everything else in my Documents. Plus Downloads are not documents, and videos are not pictures, having...

Well I called Asus about it yesterday. The sudo-knowledgeable tech indicated that there is no way to know whether the system will allow you to run a discrete card at the same time as the integrated graphics (even though their bios indicates you can and nothing in the manual states you can't)...

You misunderstood. I don't want to combine my card + igp into some freakish hybrid crossfire setup. I want them running separately and independently at the same time. I had hoped to use the igp to power 1 monitor while the card powers a 2nd monitor and a tv. I guess I'll have to call...

I don't understand why they would do this. I mean I'm paying to have the onboard graphics card, why would they even put a 16x slot on their if it removes the use of the onboard card, I mean I should pay to have both if I can't use em. :/ I'm kinda bummed if this is true, not really sure what...

My graphics cards would be blocked if I used the PCI slot for an additional card, which only leaves the PCIe-1x slot, which is being used by my tv tuner...... So that's not really an option with this board. Anyone have this board that's tried to do what I am? My 8800gt is supposed to run...

I have an ASUS p5e-vm hdmi and an 8800GT. I want to run 2 monitors off of the 8800GT and 1 off the integrated graphics, but I can't seem to get windows or the bios to see both at the same time, it's 1 or the other. Is this a flaw with my board, with the design of my board, or not possible...

Can this one card output to all 3 displays at once (2 monitors + tv) or with all the power available to do you still need 2 cards for 3 displays? Thanks
