    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Hey guys, anyone know the approximate CPU heatsink clearance in a Norco RPC-4224? Trying to spec a build and have a couple tower heatsinks lying around I'd like to use, but not sure if they'll fit... The whole case is about 178 mm tall, so it's got to be at most 160 mm, but that's right around...

    Intel New SSD's next month?

    It uses Intel 34 nm, MLC, NAND flash, not 3rd-party flash. But the controller is a Marvell 88SS9174-BKK2, and that wasn't developed in-house at Intel (obviously). It's the successor to the Marvell 88SS9174-BJP2 used in the Crucial C300. I don't know for sure if it's the same controller...

    Does anyone know if the 7K3000 is emulating 512B sectors?

    It's described as a 512B sector drive on the Hitachi product page, and I know odditory believes they're native 512 B sectors (and he's got a point about the 5-platter, lower-density design maybe requiring less ECC), but I've seen contradicting information. Anyone know for sure? Anyone done 4K...
