We need to replace a hard drive and chassis later today. I'll update exactly when it will happen. Could be 1-2 hours downtime. Thanks!

Basically a 15k SCSI
Greg Bernhardt said:Yeah, but it's more than twice (monthly cost) the price of the Raptors and not convinced it's twice the performance.
If you're writing a post, best to do it in word, notepad, etc... first, just in case.Greg Bernhardt said:Chassis swap will begin shortly, prepare for approx 30min down time.
KrisOhn said:Ahhh, makes sense.
Potentially more reliable though, but I won't get into it.
Good luck with the replacement and fixes! Be quick so we all can have our PF addiction fed!

Scheduled downtime refers to a planned period of time during which a system or equipment will be temporarily unavailable for use. This is usually done for maintenance, upgrades, or other necessary tasks that cannot be performed while the system is in use.
Scheduled downtime is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of a system or equipment. By allowing time for maintenance and upgrades, potential issues can be addressed and prevented before they become larger problems. This helps to minimize disruptions and improve overall system performance.
The frequency of scheduled downtime varies depending on the specific system or equipment. Some may require daily or weekly downtime, while others may only need it once a month or even less frequently. The exact schedule is determined by the needs and requirements of the system being maintained.
The duration of scheduled downtime can also vary depending on the system or equipment. It can range from a few minutes to several hours or even days. The length of time is determined by the tasks that need to be completed during the downtime and the complexity of those tasks.
During scheduled downtime, users will not be able to access the system or equipment that is being maintained. This may result in a temporary disruption of service or access to certain features. However, by addressing potential issues during scheduled downtime, it can help prevent larger and more prolonged disruptions in the future.
