That's a very good intro to Rust. Thanks.

Re: [GTALUG] 10TB drive seen as a 2TB drive (twice?)

[Evan Leibovitch via talk]

Resolved.

$20 and a drive to CC (closest to me is the one near Vaughan Mills) for the
new enclosure solved the problem. All now looks as it should.
It was a bit of a zoo there, but obviously worth it. And the new enclosure
doesn't need screws or tools, which is a bonus.

Thanks to all who helped.

As mentioned, the old case is available to anyone who wants it (and can
pick it up at the next meeting).

I just saw a presentation on a somewhat C-centric approach...

http://cliffle.com/p/dangerust/

Learning Rust the "Dangerous Way", starting with how to do C-like things,
and then draw back towards "rustacean" ways.

I'm interested in your thoughts on Rust if you attended the talk.

I'm currently learning Rust the old fashioned hacker way (from books and 
other people's code :)). My biggest mistake was trying to use Rust with 
SDL2 to display some graphics. My head still hurts from banging it into 
a wall called 'lifetimes'.  :)

(Sorry for the topic necromancy. :))

Re: [GTALUG] 10TB drive seen as a 2TB drive (twice?)

[Scott Sullivan via talk]

Although I don't have recent testing experince, after the whole 2TB 'thing', 
the marketing became about the largest drives tested at time of release.

Someone else can look into this further but I think it was not handling 
Advanced Format Drives (4k sectors) that was the crux of limitation.

Hi Scott (and everyone else who replied),

As other on the thread have zero'ing in on, it is likely an issue with whatever

Pretty sure that's it. As I look around at what's available, even finding
one now that supports 10TB is not so easy, many top out at 8.
Since I can't yet put the drive in the chassis I have this enclosure

on order which will be useful later anyway.
Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone want my existing enclosure? I can bring it to the next meeting. You
all know its limitations, but can't beat the price,
