Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming TwinStore Replacement = MD600

Hi All

I have two TwinStores in separate systems one with twin 2TB drives and one with twin 3TB drives. When I bought the 3TB Hitachi Drives they were only available as the Deskstar versions rather than the higher grade drives however having done a full restore to them from my main system, they have worked without problems all summer.

When I purchased the drives, I inserted them into the TwinStore, let it do it's formatting and hey presto, all fine since. That said, there is only around 1.8 TB of storage on them.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve,
But that means that the TwinStore is only recognizing the 3Tb Drives as being of 2TB in capacity!

Would you agree?

They come up on my C15 as 3TB drives, I need to digitise in some more albums to see what happens over the 2TB range!

It's your comment about "1.8Tb of Storage on them"...............as that is EXACT amount of space that a 2Tb drive would show up as..........1.819Tb if you want to be very precise

On a PC Browser, type in the IP Address of your Sooloos Core..........along with the "/Debug" at the end.

e.g. 192.168.1.1/Debug

This should bring up a Page with all of your Sooloos Details called "Sooloos Broker Debug".

A little way down that page, you should seea heading called "Disks".

Under that heading, you will see a small table with Two Headings........."Storage (Mb)" and "Free Space (Mb)".

That will tell you both the Size of the Disks that the TwinStore is seeing...........as well as the amount of Free Space available.
