Drive pricing for Samsung here: Samsung 160GB 8MB SATA 118€ Samsung 160GB 8MB PATA 114€ Samsung 160GB PATA 100€

I think the card was something like 250 €. I thought about getting the 7506-8, but that was about 450€, so the features and intended use compared to price/performance was much better for this one.

Yup, can't disagree with that. I think the card is a few years old already. My requirements speed wise are fortunately not big. I'm mostly after getting some fault tolerance to all the drives I have at the moment. The usage is pretty low.

Thanks, I'll check that out when it arrives. On a side note, this cost a lot less than a 3ware capable for eight drives (7506-8). Althoug one should probably compare this to the one capable to handle 4 drives.

Has anyone used one of these? I just ordered one, hoping to build a Raid-5 with Samsung 160gb drives. Supposedly I can resize the array later when I add more drives to it. Has anyone any experience of this? Some specs: PCI short card Integrated I/O processor All ATA drive modes supported up...

Installed Fedora in a hurry, meaning with Everything. Install went ok, but the kernel barfs during bootup. Haven't had time to look into it. :(

Just downloaded the ISO files, will burn them later today. Hopefully I have enough time for an installation tomorrow.

I'll vote for a "no go" for the Pinnacle also. Very bad experiences, lots of crashes.

Hi BooST! Welcome!

For those interested, the above mentioned is out. Gonna install that the second I get home. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/1.91/

Good luck with the business! Sounds awesome!

In the following article there are some interesting informational bits about powersupplies, to the right of the sixth picture: http://pat.jpl.nasa.gov/public/lucian/RASCHAL.html

My dentist told me it was better to take them while they were ok, i.e. easier. So I had them taken out. It was a pretty easy thing for me, now I don't need to worry about that anymore. For the record, I didn't have any problems with them before them being taken out.

babelfishing: .... First of all, some of the volunteers decided to the repetition of experience confirm the effectiveness of method. As the minimum, for two it was possible without the errors to enlarge thus the capacity of comparatively small (tens of gigas-byte) winchesters. And if you yet...

Almost forgot, running Barton 2800-3200+ processors and 512-1500MB memory on most of those systems.

A good 300W goes a long way. My machines using a HEC 300W and running an X15, 3 other SCSI drives, 3 optical ones and a Geforce 4200. I've built many similar systems, and nowadays regard a 300W good enough for most systems, just based on my experience.

This is getting very interesting. Yes, we moderators have been very liberal in our moderation, trying not to interfere too much. Apparently any thread that get's a bit off topic should be moderated, right? Right, so us moderators would have needed to post warnings in a minimum of half the...

Congrats Quebecer!

User Name Points Milestone Jake_the_Dog 100,000 Congrats! That's some mighty fine work you've been doing!

Thanks everyone! Hmmm, I feel the starting of a "kolmenkympin kriisi" coming. (roughly translated, the starting of a oh-my-god-I'm-about-to-be-thirty-years-old crisis). :)

Good to hear. I also haven't had any problems with the samsungs, and the quiet operation of them is especially good for impressing the clients.

Thanks! Drinks on me! (I've stashed a small amount of drink for you Tea) :mrgrn:

Good work.

Interesting, what does the fix change? Probably not a first indication of problems, in my opinion. Not in a 75GXP way.

AC/DC for me, anytime, anywhere. My favourite. Iron maiden is pretty good also.

Placement: I have the pot standing on top of my loudspeaker in the living room, about 2 meters from the window. This way it get's lots of light, but not so much direct sunlight. I also have a humidifier in the living room, maybe that helps too. The machine is for us humans though. The air is...

My way of watering: I immerse the flower in water once a week, for about 5-10 minutes, and the let the water run out before putting it in a pot again. The flower in itself is in a plastic pot, and I have a ceramic pot for it to sit in. THe water is either rainwater, melted snow or, if...

Anyone here have orchids? How do you handle, them? What do you water them with, how close to the windows do you keep them? I have two now. THe first dropped it'w flowers 4 months ago, but has now grown a new big leaf. My favourite flower btw.

Right now it's a bit of a hangover, a kebab waiting to be eaten, and then some cleaning up for tomorrow. Got a nice orchid for my birthday. My second. Gonna by a few more, one red and one green. 1000th post coming up, shortly ;)

Tea, come on over! For that matter, veryone is welcome! What do you mean by candles and cake? What do they have to do with a bl.....Ahhhmmm, ah, yes, I might have confused two different things now.... :oops:

That does sound very good. Very, VERY good. Hmmm, how to gently suggest the latter.... :mrgrn:

I've been itching to get a massage, especially with a bit of a sore neck.

Älgarnas Trädgård?????? Swedish?

Tea, have you noticed the 160GB models are a bit hot? Or is it just me?

LOL, good one :)

For those that like rock, The Darkness seems pretty ok.

It's my birthday tomorrow (I'll be 29), and was wondering if you people had any good ideas about how to celebrate it with my wife? We can't go anywhere for the weekend, as well have guest's coming over on Sunday. We were more thinking about going out to a restaurant to eat, and then maybe see a...

I hope you haven't been too disappointed, as I atleast learn a lot from the different aspects presented in the discussions (even though the religion/politics/abortion/etc discussions always tend to get very heated and personal). As to me, I feel pretty comfortable posting here, BUT I don't...

I thought the few Samsung 160GB 7.2k 8MB drives I've used were deffinitely much warmer than the other Samsungs I've used. Due to the small amount that I've used, I couldn't be sure.

Thanks for the info.

So I got around to installing software on the computer tonight, after putting an LG 8x DVD-RW and a Samsung SP80 160GB 7.2k rpm drive in it. Installed WinXP, ready after about 15 minutes, then office and 50MB of windowsupdate stuff, total about 30+ minutes. The computer felt pretty fast. :)

Let's rephrase that: the opinion of people in my close proximity... As the credibility of Bush is a bit low in many peoples view.

The opinion here in my country has been that the US went to Iraq for one thing, oil. Or maybe a birthday gift for papa Bush, as he didn't go all the way the last time. ..

Got the case and PS yesterday, put the stuff in the case and fired it up. It started ok, so I delivered it to the client. The client has the HD's and optical stuff in his old computer so I'll probably head over there and install them and Windows onto the computer today. And FAH....;)

I've also had bad experience e-mailing Asus. Tried that a few years ago, without luck (can't remember why anymore). But other than that, no problems. If asus is going down the drain in quality (haven't tried their Nforce2 mobos btw) it leaves me with a problem what to change to. The place I...

Since when do the movies always follow the books? I try to watch movies as their own "piece of art" , and not as a second try at something tried in a book. The movie can never be like the book, we all picture the things a bit differently. It's something like 10-15 years since I read the books...

Hmm, the site seems a bit slow at the moment. And I got this once: phpBB : Critical Error Could not connect to the database
