Lately I've been doing a lot of RMAing of hard drives. Given the following choices, which would you be buying All IDE: Seagate Western Digital Maxtor Hitachi Bozo :mrgrn:

I seem to be experiancing a lot of hard drives with bad sectors lately. Some of the drives are only a few months old. All are under a year old. I'm seeing this on all makes of drives: Seagate, WD, & Maxtor. Could it be a side affect of the high densities that the drives are using on each...

Maxtor going to 3 year warranties. http://www.channeltimes.com/channeltimes/jsp/index.jsp?section=News&subsection=Storage&subsection_code=6&file=template0.jsp&storyid=904267 Bozo :mrgrn:

If you were going to build a server to run OpenVMS, what 64 Bit AMD processor and what motherboard would you use? Same question but with dual AMD 64s? Thanks, Bozo :mrgrn:

A 300w Antec power supply will not handle a computer with 19 hard drives attached........... :eekers: Bozo :mrgrn:

Maybe two questions..... Every new case that you buy has a I/O shield installed on the back of the case. Has anyone ever found it to be the correct one for the motherboard they are installing??? :-? Every power supply has a connector on it that has one red, two orange, and three black wires...

I purchase a LSI Logic 'LSIU160' and the SCSI cable from Newegg. I've attached a Seagate Barracuda ST39236LC to the cable/controller combo. After getting everthing setup, I ran ATTO. Seems the best this drive can do is ~25MB/sec. Seagate specs say I should get 40MB/sec or 80/160 in LVD mode. I...

I've been contemplating going to a SCSI drive in my computer. I've got a couple of questions. If the PCI (32 bit ) bus can only handle 133MB/sec of data, whats the point in installing a SCSI drive that can transfer 320MB/sec? Would a SCSI drive rated at 160MB/sec saturate the PCI bus, or is...

If you have a SCSI adaptor that is U320 and supports RAID 0, is there any performance gain using U320 hard drives? Wouldn't the card be maxed out with 1 U320 drive? Do you need a dual channel card with one drive on each channel? (presumming each channel is U320 each) It would seem the total for...

I need to make the print larger while using Firefox. I went to the options menu and changed the font size. I works on some web pages but not others. Is this a Firefox problem or something else? Bozo :mrgrn:

I have an IBM U2W SCSI hard drive that has an 80 pin connector originally designed for a hot swap setup. I also have an Adaptec 2940 U2W SCSI card. Of course the connectors on the card do not match the hard drive. Is there a simple, easy, and cheap way to use the IBM hard drives with the Adaptec...

I was upgrading a computer the other day to a P4 from a P3. The case I was using did not have a P4 compliant power supply. I purchased an Antec 430watt True Power power supply. The new pc only has a hard drive, CD-ROM, CD-burner, and floppy drive. The 430 watt PS would be overkill. Another...

I don't usually do much overclocking, but I decided to play around with my Asus P4C800-E-Deluxe. The MB is equiped with a Promise RAID controller that I have disabled in the BIOS. But, when I up the memory voltage, the BIOS ignores my settings and displays the Promise RAID controller during...

I've been searching the web for facts about Dual channel memory and I'm still confused. Which is better (faster?) Dual Channel dynamic paging mode, or Dual channel linear mode. Thanks, Bozo :mrgrn:

I am trying to move some VHS tapes to DVD. I've been able to 'capture' the video using WinDVD. What I would like to know is how large a hard drive will I need to capture a 2 hour VHS tape? 250GB enough? Bozo :mrgrn:

For years I have been using the Promise Ultra 100/133 card to add hardware to computers. Is there anything better? Thanks, Bozo

Recently I purchased a Plextor CD burner. It Was DOA. No amount of 'fixing' would bring this thing back to life. You could hear things rattling around inside. Eventually, a small electronic part fell out through one of the openings in the drive. I went to Plextors site to get an RMA. To get an...

How does a hard drive write to a hard drive with multiple disc ( or sides)? If you have a hard drive with a single disc but using both sides: does it fill up side 1, then go to side 2; does it alternate (ie: 1-2,1-2,1-2 etc); does it split the files similar to RAID 0; or some other method. What...

Trouble is, I cannot find where mail is stored in XP. I found 'Favorites' and the 'Addresses', but not the mail. Does anyone...
