Today, we're going to find out how to test each hard drive in a QNAP TS-451, and
also learn how to schedule these tests on a regular basis in order to protect
your QNAP from drive failures. This tutorial applies to any QNAP unit that
runs on the QTS operating system. In a NAS, or a Network Attached Storage unit,
the integrity of each drive is of paramount importance, because after all,
the primary function of NAS is to store data. One level of protection is RAID, or
Redundant Array of Independent Disks. You can use RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10 by storing your
data on redundant drives, but regardless of what level of RAID you're using, you
need to know if you have a bad hard drive as soon as possible.
The sooner you're aware of a failing drive, the sooner you can replace it. Of
course you shouldn't rely on redundant drives only. RAID by itself is not enough
to safeguard your data; you should have a good backup plan in place. After all, more
than one drive could fail at one time. Even worse, the QNAP hardware itself
could fail. I'll cover the topic of backing up to an external drive in a future video.
QNAP provides diagnostic tools to perform SMART
tests, or Self Monitoring Analysis Reporting
Technology, that's embedded in all of your hard drives, but it doesn't do it
automatically. You need to run them manually, or schedule the test to run at
regular intervals. Here, I've logged into QTS. To schedule the tests, you'll need to
start the Storage and Snapshots application. Tab over to the Disks section,
where you'll see the health information for each of your installed drives. You'll
want to click on Disk Health, and navigate to the Test section.
QNAP provides a rapid test, which lasts about a minute, and a complete test, which
can run for hours.
The drop-down allows you to choose which disk you want to test, but these are one-time operations.
If you ever want to test your disks again, you'd need to come back to this
screen and manually re-perform the tests. However, if you want to automate these
tests, you'll need to tab to Settings,
and enable the rapid and/or the complete
tests. You can perform these daily, weekly, or monthly. Some people schedule the
rapid tests daily and the complete tests weekly, while others do the rapid tests
weekly and the complete tests monthly. I fall in the latter group, so I'll enable
the rapid tests weekly on a Monday at 9:00 am,
and I'll enable the complete test monthly
on the first of the month at noon. You'll probably want to schedule the tests at a
time when you aren't performing a backup, or when you won't be using the QNAP
too heavily, especially for the long complete test. If you hit the Apply
button, you're scheduling the test to the individual disk in the drop-down list.
The Apply to All buttons force all four disks to follow this schedule.
So when the time comes to trigger the tests, QNAP will tell you whether they've
been successful or not. If one of the SMART tests fails, you will be notified
in the Event Notifications. When that time comes, you'll want to replace that
disk as soon as possible.
I hope you enjoyed - Thanks for watching!

Pietro Valente - Smart Music - Soul/Jazz - Duration: 5:25.
Smart Music is a project for the audience to interact with the band in real time via smartphone with a dedicated web app.
In our Veneto Tour (North East Italy) local media have been curious and interested
Smart Music Veneto Tour 2017
one show already done, after the number 0
which one are the next gigs?
tomorrow, very important...
...people can direct the music in a specific way
in the same tune
yes, sure
so the tune starts and according the votation...
Smart Music is now available in two different versions:
the Soul one, of course based on the Soul classics
where still the audience can interact
eventually by changing the music genre of the song we are playing
or by changing the mood
or simply by choosing a song from a given list,
then there is the Jazz version
with many different modes and here we got to the core of interaction with the crowd
for exmple there are tunes composed to go in different directions
or the crowd can decide in a specific time which musician will play and their intensity
even more, the app allow people to type a sentence to use as a starting point for an improvised tune.
Let's see some exaples.
I composed this tune with extendable sections to be decided by the audience in real time.
In this improvised tune the crowd can interact deciding two important music parameters: dynamic and density.
Here the audience typed a sentence to represent the future
In the same way we did in this recent Veneto tour we can integrate the Soul and Jazz versions.
Good!
We sperimented and tested this Smart Music system
now we are ready to take it all around Italy and abroad
anyone interested can find my contacts in the description.
See you soon!

What Are SMART Goals? 5) Is the Goal Time-bound? & SMART Goals Summary (6/6) - Duration: 2:05.
Hello again. Eric Coy, *your* productivity expert. Here with today's Productivity
Power-up. I'm finishing up my series on SMART goals, and today we're going to
discuss the fifth attribute: Is it Time-bound? Now, if you defined your goal for a
resolution, then the time is probably going to default to about a year.
However, goals can be as short or as long as you want them. Now, you have to be
careful with the time. If the time is too short, you start wondering about
attribute three: Is it attainable? Can you realistically achieve that goal in the
time you've said? And if the time is too long, now we may be dealing with, Is it
still relevant? So, make sure you are setting the time appropriately.
Additionally, you need to break up periodically and have some milestones
defined within that time range, so that you can then go back and check the
measurements you defined in attribute two, the success criteria, and compare them to
the baselines you already have the measurements of, so that you can see if
you are making progress or do you need to take some corrective action. So that's
it folks, SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
And I'll direct you once again to the document on my website, www.MindThaw.com,
from the University of California's Office of the President, that goes into a
very deep explanation and worksheet of SMART goals. And I'd also ask you, while
you're here, go ahead and subscribe to this YouTube channel if you haven't

What Are SMART Goals? 2) Is the Goal Measurable? (3/6) - Duration: 1:33.
Hello! Eric Coy, *your* productivity expert. Here with today's Productivity Power-up.
Continuing my series on SMART goals, the second attribute I want to cover is, Is
it Measurable? Now, as one of the executives at my old company used to say,
"You can't manage what you can't measure." So, as you're defining your goal, you'll
need to define some success [stutter] criteria -- that way you can be able to
measure progress toward your goal. Additionally, if you're going to measure
something towards a goal, that means you need to have a baseline defined so that
you can have something to compare your progress to -- to see if you are actually
making progress or if you need to take some corrective action. Now, you can
define both qualitative and quantitative success criteria. However, it's highly
recommended that you define the qualitative criteria in correlation to
something that is quantitative so that you can have some hard and fast data. If
you want to know more about SMART goals, please check out the document from the
University of California's office of the President on my website,
www.MindThaw.com; and also, don't forget to subscribe to this YouTube channel if

What Are SMART Goals? Overview (1/6) - Duration: 2:10.
Hello, Eric Coy, *your* productivity expert. Here with today's Productivity Power-up.
Even though it's after the first of the year, it's not too late to set some New Year's
resolutions -- whether for personal or business reasons. According to StatisticBrain.com,
people who *explicitly* set New Year's resolutions are *10 times* more
likely to achieve them than those who do not explicitly set them. Now, "resolution"
is just a fancy word for "goal," so if you're going to define goals why not
make them SMART goals? For some of you this is old hat; but for those who don't
know, "SMART" is an acronym that defines five attributes of a goal that makes it
a good goal -- or one that is more likely to be achieved. In today's video, I'll
just highlight the different attributes; and then I'll go into further detail in
future videos. First, is the goal Specific? Second, is the goal Measurable? Third, is
the goal Attainable? Fourth, is the goal Relevant? And fifth, is the goal
Time-bound? If your goal has all of these attributes and is defined in this manner,
you have a greater chance of achieving it. Now, for those who want to go ahead
and -- read ahead -- The University of California's Office of the President has
an excellent document on SMART goals: Defining them and explaining them; and I
have a link to that on my website, www.MindThaw.com, under Resources, so check
that out! But while you're here, go ahead and subscribe to this channel!

What Are SMART Goals? 1) Is the Goal Specific? (2/6) - Duration: 1:29.
Howdy! Eric Coy, *your* productivity expert. Here with today's Productivity Power-up.
Continuing the video series on SMART goals, I want to start with the first
attribute of a SMART goal: Is it Specific? Is your goal defined in a general,
nebulous manner; or is it defined with details that you can see, hear, touch,
taste, feel, smell? The more detailed and the more Specific your goal is, the
greater chance of achieving it because you can already visualize yourself
having achieved it. For example, is your goal of a nature like, "I want to raise
the employee satisfaction"? Or is it defined in terms of, "I want to increase
employee satisfaction by five points come the next employee satisfaction
survey, and I want to be able to use both monetary and [stutter] non-monetary
rewards"? Now see, that last goal is much more Specific and has a greater chance
of being achieved.

What Are SMART Goals? 4) Is the Goal Relevant? (5/6) - Duration: 1:15.
Hello again! Eric Coy, *your* productivity expert. Here with today's Productivity
Power-up. I'm continuing my series on SMART goals, and today, I want to discuss
attribute number four: Is it Relevant? Now, relevance means is it linked to some
other strategic, or corporate, or even some other personal goal? Or is this a
one-off goal? Not that a one-off goal is bad; however, you have a greater chance of
achieving the goal if it is linked to something else that is also of
importance. So, look and see how you can make this goal tie into something else
that is also important to you -- or to your company. For more information on SMART
goals, check out the document on my website --
under Resources -- from The University of California's Office of the President. And

What Are SMART Goals? 3) Is the Goal Attainable? (4/6) - Duration: 1:19.
Greetings, everyone! Eric Coy, *your* productivity expert. Here with today's
Productivity Power-up. Continuing my series on SMART goals, today I want to
discuss attribute number three: Is it Attainable? Do you have all the resources
to realistically achieve your goal? If not, then you're just setting yourself up
for failure and not for success. So, do you have all the time, money, people,
skills and other resources and attributes necessary to achieve this
goal? If you don't, then perhaps this goal should be tabled; and maybe you need to
create a goal that concerns obtaining the necessary resources, and then come
back to the original goal. If you want to check out the other details of SMART
goals, look at the document on my website from the University of California - Office
of the President, under Resources. And that website is www.MindThaw.com. And I'd really
