    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    FSP also makes the FSP270-60LE-SL power supply. Note the -SL suffix, which means it has the MiniATX 24-pin power connector that fits Slimline motherboards, so an ATX-to-MiniATX adapter cable doesn't need to be purchased. Here are some sources...

    HDD reallocated sector count

    My brother's pc has a Hitachi hard drive. CrystalDiskInfo shows its Reallocated Sectors Count "raw value" recently increased from 0 to 10001. (Hexadecimal. Plus a lot of leading zeros.) The Current Pending Sectors Count decreased from 2 to 1, so presumably the drive finally reallocated one of...

    Multi-head hard drives?

    Can you provide a link to market research that supports that claim? Or at least state your assumptions? Suppose it would add $50 per drive to increase the arms/heads from 1 to 4 if the market volume is large. Why wouldn't the market be large for large hard drives (say 3 or more TB) with 600...

    I think Freelancer1988 is in error about -5V being provided by modern power supplies. The following webpage shows the pinouts for ATX power connectors: http://www.smpspowersupply.com/connectors-pinouts.html "COMPUTER POWER SUPPLY: PINOUT, CABLES, CONNECTORS" Note that the old (verson 1)...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    My brother's HP Slimline s3421p is 6 years old and may need its power supply replaced or repaired. (If you're curious for the details, see the end of this post.) Googling has turned up vague & conflicting info about compatibility of third party power supplies, so I have a few questions about...
