Yeah but you want to make sure that the heads are parked to avoid physical damage if you are going to be moving it around. Use this: http://mt-naka.com/hotswap/index_enu.htm You can hear the drive spin down and park when you remove it with this program.

1. Firmware updates are most comonly done from a DOS bootdisk. Check with the manufacturer's instructions. Should be explained in a TXT file that comes with the firmware flashing utility. 2. Have you entered the RAID setup and created the array? Windows setup won't see it until you define it...

Thank you. That is exaclty what I am looking for. Does anyone else have anything that competes with this?

Also notice in the first sentence I mentioned a single unit solution. I am referring to a single server with X number of controllers connected to Y number of drives.

OK but what technology did you use specifically. Notice I am looking for comparison to the NetApp FAS6200. Is this a storage solution that you purchased together as a complete bundle or did you cobble together these components yourself? If the latter is the case, what parts did you get to make...

I am wondering what the largest available single unit solution is currently for storing unreasonable ammounts of data. I'm looking for something that is wastefully large and hopefully fast. I am aware of the NetApp FAS6200 which claims to have a potential of 3PB of data. Is there anything...

Well it must not have been blown. I got it working again. I made sure that the heatsink is making good contact and I added a chipset fan to the NB. No memory errors and no BSOD. I hope it holds out. I would rather not buy a new MB.

Thanks! I'll reapply some thermal paste and try to get the heatsink attached as well as I can. I'll wash my plugs while I am at it. I certainly hope I haven't melted my poor MB. I did check my Temperatures in the BIOS and it looked like my NB was at a normal temperature. I don't have a...

I have an ASUS P5Q-Pro. I was trying to remove a noisey MOSFET fan from the assembly that is connected by heatpipe to the NB cooler when the whole MOSFET heatsink assembly tilted slighty. I imagine this would compromise the thermal compound underneath. I pushed it back down . . . Afterwards I...
