Hey everyone, While I’ve had no problems with the existing hardware of the server, boasting a quad core 3.5 Ghz Xeon processor, 16 gigs of DDR3 expandable to 32 gigs and 10 bays compatible with 8 TB drives. It’s come to light that an opportunity to upgrade has dawned upon me. I have purchased an REXP-1000-Pro SAS/SATA/SSD expansion for the existing NAS which will be connected via a SAS expansion card which will be installed into the server making it possible to (with the existing RAM specs of the server) expand to up to 400 raw TB of storage. In this case I’ll be starting with one expansion module however the SAS card will be able to accommodate up to 4. I have also purchased two 128 GB mSATA solid state drives which will act as caches for reading from the NAS making the read performance significantly faster. Now the last thing to upgrade would be the RAM which as stated earlier can be expanded to 32 GB however given the RAM usage I’ve observed over time, this upgrade is not necessary at this time but will eventually occur.

Hey everyone, Back by popular demand, the requests page has returned. It can be found in the usual spot in the left sidebar and should be stable. Enjoy! LightSpeedTaco

This method will be more reliable as the database of shows and movies available through the requests page was limited to older shows and few at that as well. Also, twitter updates don’t seem to be much of a hit so the twitter account will now be used for simple status updates and such. That’s all! LightSpeedTaco

Hey everyone, After seeing some serious performance issues and crappy gameplay due to it, I’ve decided to suspend the LightSpeedMinecraft server for the time being. Notice I said suspend not remove so there may be a time where it will return but until further notice it has been disabled. Sorry everyone! An external host may be the solution but that costs moolah which I’m already loosing with server upkeep. LightSpeedTaco

Well. That was an adventure. After 8 calls over 5 days to my ISP we’ve finally had service restored. With that being said, the server will be catching up on what its missed and returning you to our regularly scheduled programming! Please enjoy the server now that its back. As is Plex requests and the Minecraft server. LightSpeedTaco
