Got the CM400 email as well. Still can't do it because I'm on Suddenlink. I also still don't understand the review being provider-specific.

Got the cm400 email as well and probably switching to Time Warner if I get it. I've got a Clear modem right now, and the speeds are nowhere close to what they were before sprint bought them out. I can get comparable service for half what I'm paying right now.

Yep, me too.
Suddenlink is doing the channel bonding (or at least is getting the network ready for it) for very high speed cable modems. Now would be a great time to test some 16-24 channel DOCSIS 3 modems 
Just got a NETGEAR Powerline 500 Essential Edition (XAVB5221) yesterday! I'll test it out this weekend and get the review posted. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to test this stuff out!
Got a CM400 email the other day, but I'm not on the right provider as well so had to pass.
Looks like they do not wait on you to post a review for something else before sending out new emails either. Just posted my R6050 review this morning.

As promised, here is the NAS announcement. The is available for download today. Enjoy all the new features!!
There should be some videos posting soon to show off the functionality. The auto backup and new sync app for PC's should be cool.

For some reason I got the cm4000 and I installed it at my dads house. He loves it

Still not available in the system updater on the 104.
Wouldn't work for me on the 314.
Can anyone explain why it's not possible to just add an extra HD to the NAS without reformatting all of them and starting the backups from scratch? If you can replace one when it goes bad without reformatting, why can't you add a new one?
quote:if you're using the proprietary FlexRaid you can just pop in a new HD, so long as it's the same capacity as the others. But this is basically JBOD RAID, which is meh

quote:Here's my non-technical attempt at an explanation: If you let it install via the default RAID configuration, it will rebuild the array by moving data around into the RAID scheme. Depending on the type of RAID, you'll have data spread among all the drives: ie it will write tiny amounts of data to each drive simultaneously. A single record will span all the drives in the array. So, when you add a drive, it rebuilds that array, redistributing the data among all the available drives, including the one you just added.

When you are replacing one that went bad, depending on the type of array it may be able to use redundant data, or a parity scheme to rebuild the missing drive.
So, when you add a drive, it's redistributing data across the drives, potentially recreating redundancy or parity as it does so (again, depending on the configuration). When you replace a drive, it is going to attempt to rebuild the array, which is an entirely different process as it is not shuffling data on the other drives; it would just be using the data on the remaining good drives to rebuild data on the replaced drive.

Another NAS question
What is the actual free space you have available compared to physical drives installed in your NAS? I've got two 1TB drives and one 4TB drive and have 1.81TB of space available. Shouldn't it be closer to 3TB? Is there that much space reserved for OS and NAS files?
Sorry for the ignorance, appreciate the help.

quote:It depends on what your setup is. From your description, it sounds like you have the three drives in a RAID5 configuration. In that case, each drive will have three stripes: 2 for data, one for parity, so you lose 1/3 of disk space for parity. Since your smallest drive is 1TB, that is the most that will be used for any of the drives. You basically have 3 drives using 1TB each. You lose 1/3 for parity, and you're left with 2TB.

The rest comes from a TB being treated as multiples of 1000 bytes (1000^4 for a TB) by the labeling, but multiples of 1024 bytes (1024^4) by the computer. (TB vs TiB). 1000^4 != 1024^4, so you don't quite get 2TiB, you get about 1.81TiB (2,000,000,000,000)
You should mirror the 1TB drives (RAID1) for 1TB of space and leave the 4TB in as a separate volume, or buy 3 more 4TB drives and use RAID5 for ~12TB of space
Yup, it's set-up as RAID5, just have to figure out how to set it as RAID 1 until I can get some more 4TB drive.
Thanks for the noob help!

quote:It was an issue with the PCB that was corrected. glad the new one is working well, thanks for all your patiencequote:Same here. I even threw a t-shirt over it to let it heat up and see if it would overheat and no problem. I don't know if there was a hardware issue or software issue. The new one is firmware 1.01.06, the old firmware was 1.01.08. It looks like they had also taken the new modem out of the box and tested it before sending it to me since it has activity in the log file from 10/24.
This new CM400 works 100% better. No issues in the 12 hours it has been online.

Thanks for the update - still haven't had any problems with the new one since installing.
I just signed up for the program yesterday, but I still haven't received a confirmation email that my info was received. Is this just because it's Thanksgiving week? Just unsure how long it takes for the initial response.
There isn't one. You will just get an email when they are offering you product to test.
How do I sign up? Would love to be a part of this testing group.
Survey in the OP
This is what I get "This survey is currently closed. Please contact the author of this survey for further assistance"

Is it still possible to sign up to be a part of this program?

I'm hearing that friends and family will get first dibs on the new Arlo review testing. The number of units will be decent, but not huge, so try to act fast if you get the survey. Survey will come out in the next 2 weeks.
Also, and this might not come out in the initial survey, but when the add on cameras are available in January, they will reach out to whoever got the initial systems to test the add on cameras. Call it a Christmas present with a new year's bonus!!
