    Toshiba 3TB USB 3.0 external $110

    This external model is the only reliable way to get the 1TB platter version of this drive right now. I know a few people that are buying them and taking out the drives for their home storage servers. For people that love the hitachi drives, this is a great purchase. 1TB platters and 5900 rpm =...

    Funky Deal: 16GB Samsung SSD for $18.99

    The four that I ordered arrived as promised. I'm using one as a system disk for OpenMediaVault (a distro based on Debian Squeeze) in a HP N40L microserver. After a week or so of testing, I couldn't be happier with it.

    Funky Deal: 16GB Samsung SSD for $18.99

    And I just bought four. If anyone was waiting to buy one of these, I think that there is only one left. I emailed the seller about a deal for buying 4 at once and he said that he sold over 200 in the last couple of days.

    Astraweb usenet provider $96/year

    I switched from using torrents to astraweb about 6 months ago and I will never go back. Their service is fantastic. I max out my 40 Mbps fios connection on every download. $8 a month is the same as a Netflix subscription and astraweb is better. If you are tired of dealing with torrents, this is...

    HITACHI 5K3000 2TB $60 AR$10

    +1 The number of Newegg reviews generally need to reach around 100 before you can look for real trends. Even then, they are notoriously bad. A hard drive review shouldn't depend on how many sheets of bubble wrap Newegg put in the box.

    How do you Backup your ~10TB rigs?

    I mirror everything to a backup server. I know that sounds terribly expensive, but there's a way to do it that makes it a little easier. Every other time I buy a hard drive for one of my computers, I buy another higher capacity drive for my backup server. With 2TB drives going for $60-70, it...

    raid 0 or 5?

    Also, most people will tell you that it isn't a good idea to use your onboard ICH10R for Raid 5. Raid 0 and 1 are fine, but anything else will be more trouble than it is worth.

    6gb slow as heck

    This. Leave your hard drive alone and buy some more RAM. 2GB is way too low for running WoW + IE w/ multiple tabs + Win 7 + whatever else you are running. As a result, your system is running out of memory and transferring the contents of RAM back and forth to your hard drive. This causes the...

    P6900 - new bigadv, 160,000ppd, wohooo!

    I have to change my assessment. I run a gpu client on my bigadv machines when i get non-bigadv WUs. Once I realized this was a new bigadv, I set oneunit on the gpu and now that it has finished, these new WUs are definitely in the 2692 range on my i7-920 @ 3800.
