[Misc] C368 HD: animations and RAID

[John Kaufmann]

A bizhub C368 HD failure has left me with two questions:

(1) I don't have the C368 animations. Could someone help me with that?

(2) Below HD-A, the C368 has an empty slot for HD-B, an option used for RAID-1 mirroring -- so that in event of a HD failure, there would be no need to rebuild that drive with animations or User Boxes backups (which are rarely up-to-date anyway). The KM option for this is HD-524, which seems to apply to all 8-series bizhubs -- but only the 8-series. So, in trying to decide how much value there would be in that option, I wonder why it was not continued in the 0i-series. Pursuing this question, I was surprised to find that getting detailed information (like: does the HD-524 include the cables?) was like pulling teeth. Is the RAID option just not worth much? Does anyone use it?

I would be grateful for any help on either of these questions.

The backup is only as good as the last date it was backed up..I have searched the KM site and can only find a 1 TB HDD sub, nothing for adding a 2nd HDD..The C368 had the HD-524 option and the associated settings in State confirmaiton page 2. None of these settings are available on the I series. E

Do you still need the animation firmware?

Thanks! - I was suspecting that. I'll just forget about the RAID option - as KM apparently have done.

Yes, that's what I found when I checked, too: apparently the 8-series RAID option never made enough sense to continue.

Thanks for asking. Someone did PM to offer it with a dropbox user/password, but I'm clueless enough that I don't know how to use dropbox that way, so had to ask him for clarification, and I don't have an answer yet on that.

Yes, it turns out that I do still need the movie data file, having unexpected difficulty coordinating with the contributor who first offered. I appreciate your offer.
