    SAS array with Dell Perc 6/i controller -- SMART failure

    This was just RAID 0 so there is no mirroring or data safety. Have backed up the data to an external drive so that is not an issue... Just need to identify the drive through some means, get it replaced and restore the backup (hopefully will be that simple). Trying to download the Server...

    SAS array with Dell Perc 6/i controller -- SMART failure

    I have a 4 drive SAS array ran by a Dell Perc 6/i controller. Currently I am hearing one drive thrashing extensively and some files are getting corrupted. But all drives scan out as file from the Dell Perc 6/i BIOS... Is there any software or anything else that I can use to see things at a...

    SMART failing hard drive?

    Thanks -- I think part of the issue is that there are a lot of apps that are currently installed; I don't think they can be just copied over? I.e. they would need to be reinstalled one by one, settings reset to the originals, etc.

    SMART failing hard drive?

    I have a Sony VAIO system which has been booting up into the Windows 8 operating system with a SMART hard drive failure. The system boots up fine but is very slow which leads me to believe the hard drive failure is imminent (as the message says lol). Anyway, what is my best option to back up...

    For old-timer experts - old computer data extraction

    Wow thank you all for responding -- this is very very useful info. I don't know about all the details of the card this guy has in the 286 computer but he's been told by the company and so on that it would cost a few k to update to the latest card + new licenses and then he may have to retrofit...

    Somebody recommend me a new case?

    Looking to get a new case, prefer full tower since I have 4 SAS drives in RAID0 which generate a lot of heat. Currently I'm using a Lian Li mid-tower case and the drives are not happy in it... Any recommendations? Looking for something professional looking rather than gaming-style. Thanks.

    Backup recommendation needed

    Yes that is right; I run XP but want to transition to Vista or Windows 7; it'd be nice if it was supported in all of these... And of course something simple and to the point is preferred rather than something with lots of pop-ups and other things. Thanks for the fast reply.

    Backup recommendation needed

    Hello, here is my situation... I have a bunch of documents organized in a tree structure of say around 100 folders and subfolders and so on...these documents are on my laptop hard drive but I also keep a copy on a USB memory stick. Sometimes I work on a different computer and I may update...
