Ignorance is bliss... ;)

That is very evil. Haha

apparantly the regular ide ports are just numbered before the SATA. Does it need to be primary master? Put it in port one and select sata if you want to boot to it.

Which SATA port is it plugged into?

I know its not too [H]ard... but you can get a windowed side panel for it IIRC. Just FYI ;)

960gb will be announced shortly and released after that.

Depending on how the two connectors are wired on the board it could provide twice the potential. Why would two different potentials be any different than double the same potential?

And huge.

Does the drive show up in the bios as 160ish gb? If it does then the bios isn't a problem. Try upgrading to sp2, then go to disk management like the second post said and format the volume.

not new btw, they've been talking about it on these forums for a good long while.

Holy crap, get it through your head, the product doesn't suck. You just think it does.

I think we've discussed why a sample of 4 drives doesn't provide good data for failure rate.

fixt :D

People's personal experiences can definately be statistically incorrect because they don't use enough drives. So I would say that other people buying decisions can't be incorrect... but their opinions certainly can be misinformed and wrong. Its called overconfidence. He has experienced...

Um... no one said that they were going to abuse it. No one talked about how they had abused it. I don't know what thread that you have been reading. Some people joked about trying to find some old logitech stuff and get it replace, but that was a joke, and like one person did it. 95% of this...

It's easy for reasonably knowledgable people to ignore you, but this forum is frequented by people that are new to the hobby, and they might actually believe you. You should really calm down. He respectfully responded to your post, and you acted like an asshole. WD Issues??? There is a...

This means you are full of crap. You can't have it both ways. Either EVERY maxtor you have heard of has failed, or there have been exceptions. I have used many maxtor drives and never had a problem. Does that mean they are perfect? Nope I don't understand why people get so militant...

I have numerous maxtor drives and haven't had a problem with a single one. So I could say that Maxtor's are perfect as far as I know. I would be wrong, but it is very easy to make generalizations like that. I have honestly heard of nearly as many problems just like this with WD drives and...

why? Its all the same chips.

check out the sandisk and samsung solid state players, iirc they are a little cheaper. But if you are going to be useing the player in a high shock setting, solid state is worth the money.

Its kind of a bad time to be building an array. The 500s are still high because they are top of the line, and the 750s will have a premium when they come out (already out?). If you build a rig that will stay in the closet, you can have more smaller, and cheaper drives. If you make the...

The display thing actually already exists... kind of. You can get an lcd and run software on it through a serial connection to show pretty much anything you want. But to my knowledge, no one has actually marketed a product like that. Would be cool.

QFT

Thats cause anandtech SUCKS!!! hahaha jj ;)

It will be months before conroe debuts...

Socket AM2 processors are going to come in at the top of the product line to start out... Why are you asking this question after you've already bought? Don't throw away money by selling something and not even getting any enjoyment out of it. Its not that your motherboard doesn't support...

i don't know what you are doing to get infected,... but I've been on pc's for years and i've NEVER gotten a virus.

Prices for dual core will eventually go down. Eventually all processors will have at least two cores. We've hit a kind of performance barrier for single core chips, so multi core cpu's are the way of the future. DC prices might also go down when AMD starts shipping their 65 nm chips (less...

Nope, too expensive and the capacity isn't high enough. they go up to 32gigs (or will in the near future) but seagate is releasing 750gig and 975 gig hd's

Yeah, I doubt they are going anywhere any time soon. This same rumor came up a few months ago and they are still being sold... Besides, the Tech Tour server bundle has a 165 in it, sooooo they can't cancel production before like august.

the "capacitators" are damaged?

I'm still curious why you would say you didn't want to format...

Why don't you want to reformat? Do you want to write 0's on the drive or something like that?

soooo, you are selling a computer, and it will have windows on it, but you don't have a cd so that you can reinstall?

soooo get the server bundle.

It didn't come with a dvi cable? are you sure? Anything of reasonable quality will work, there isn't any real point in brand loyalty or anything like that.

Call the companies and see if you can get a deal on a large volume order. IIRC Harddrives usually come in packages of 20. If you need 20 drives then you can do froogle or pricegrabber for multipacks.

Doesn't NTFS have better error correction? That would be important in a portable drive i think.

I'd just make something out of metal that could hold them. If they are all fairly light cards just take a piece of wood and cut slots in it, put the pci connectors into the slots. That would hold them upright. The only problem is that i suppose damage could be done to the connectors if the...

Will you be impressed then??? haha
