Hmm don't know how I would check that in this system... not any voltage monitor options in a HP bios. The BSOD is the generic "win32k.sys page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" I should mention that both GFX cards works individualle while both are connected. But then only if a driver is installed...

Not much options in these lightweight HP bios'es, but I think I found it. And it was pointing to the pcie. It does not help if I remove the card, as long as I have both drivers for both cards installed the computer will always BSOD. The fix is to reboot with last known good config, i.e...

So my old workstation a HP xw6200 had 3 monitor connected. 2 of them via a Quadro FX 1300 AGP card and the last one connected to an older GeForce MX 4000 PCI card. The setup was running WinXP x86 and I never had any issues. I recently upgraded to a new workstation, a HP xw4200. It came...

Setup my RAID5 using mdadm successfully now. 1. Created array using the new 3x1TB disks 2. Copied over data from old 2x1TB disks 3. Included old disks to array 4. regrow, resize. Voila! Seems to be working fine, will be monitoring it closely. Some questions: - How often should I...

Aha I get it now. So I will need to go with mdadm then. Does it support adding a single disk to a RAID5 array?

There is still something that is not clear to me when it comes to RAID5 in general... If I want to add more storage space to my array do I have to add the same amount of disks that the array currently exists of, or can I add just one disk? (same size ofcourse). Does ZFS support this?

You have yet to explain the problem with ZFS on ubuntu....

Well this is for personal use. I am not after performance only stability and redundance. What are the headaches you mention?

In for a headache why? Do you have a better alternative for software RAID5 on ubuntu?

Been reading up on ZFS. As I am going to create a RAIDZ (RAID5) I encounter bit of a predicament as I currently have two full single 1TB disks, and I bought 3x new empty 1TB disks. My plan is as follow 1. zpool create vol0 raidz /dev/newdisk1 /dev/newdisk2 /dev/newdisk3 2. Copy all the...

Thanks sub.mesa. Got some more questions - Does software RAID require my 1TB to be of same make and model? Or can they be different models/make, i.e. different platter density and RPMs? - If I run out of SATA ports on my mainboard, can I (in the future) easily expand my software RAID by adding...

Thank you for your thorough answer. Can you also help me explain a bit about RAID-Z (RAID5). Will RAID-Z on a 4x1TB disk system give me 4TB or will some of the space be reserved? So if one of the disks shorts out, I can simply replace it with a new one and I'm back up and running?

Aha. I thought FreeNAS was dependant on hardware. So its a software RAID NAS OS using FreeBSD linux bascially... Apologies if I come off daft but I'm kind of new to the whole RAID thing. When it comes to backup I think I will "borrow" some storage off a friend and dump my data there, then...

Ok I'm on a budget here. My box is currently setup with Ubuntu server and works well. My motherboard does not have a RAID chip however. I cannot afford a "real" RAID controller, meaning one of those that starts at 400$. So what are my options? Also how does RAID-Z work, will it allow me to...

The two drives are: 1. Samsung SpinPoint F1 SATA2 1TB 7200 RPM, 32MB cache, SATA2 2. Hitachi Deskstar™ 7K1000.C 1TB7200RPM, 3,5", 32MB Cache, SATA 3Gb/s I don't have any backup at all :D My reason for creating a raid is storage only. Speed-wize I only need to be able to stream 1080p...

Ah your second option makes sense.Will try it out :)

So I've got one 1TB Hitachi and one 1TB Samsung. My plan is to buy another two 1TB disks and then make a RAID out of all 4. Problem is that I already filled my two existing drives to the brim, and I do not wish to loose this data. Can I create a single RAID using all 4 disks and still keep my data?

Will this work on a banned console as well?

Aha. Halo3 slayer/team slayer Gears of War (all modes) Left 4 dead 1/2 (all modes) Is there some overview page for xbxo360 games giving me this information perhaps?

Is this even possible? I suspect you must be at least authed via Xbox live to be able to make a new game or am I wrong? Reason I ask is that we want to arrange a Xbox360 LAN but we do not have internet available at our location.

They two guys actually knew the google driver so they only waited like an hour before they got their chance. It was ment as a small prank for their friends, but the tabloids in Norway got a hold of it and now everyone knows ;)

I would be careful to overdo it with paint, the black front is a pretty nice combination with the orange side, you could however get some matching orange cold catodes to shine through the meshed frontplates, would be cool :D But hey, just my opinion. Either way kickass work, Im ordering a...

Thanks for informative replies! Im most likely going for a 15gb c: and the rest of the raptor on d: for game installs. Should I put the pagefile on d: or one of the partition of my other hdd (maxtor) ?

I currently have the Maxtor as my system disk, Im not very happy about the performance and loading times so Im going for the Raptor 74gb 10K rpm edition as my new system disk. They are both S-ATA disks. Now should I raid these on my Asus A7NX8-D or would the rpm on my maxtor degrade the...

Yeah Ive thought about that, but those monitors are a bit too pricy for my wallet :( Maybe I could mod a cheap ass 15" LCD monitor, Ill see =)

Oh and the briefcase itselfe is just some cheap knockoff my mother had floating around, its not real metal, but alu. coated onto some very thin alabaster wood, made it easy to cut in, but I dont think its gonna survive a fall to the floor :P

Thanks for the feedback =) You oughta know this were made in only 2 days, with spare parts floating around my room. If I were to make something with a bigger budget I'd get the micro atx+slim cd-rom and fit it all inside and loose the fur. But its just something I fire up for watchin divx in the...
