The Momentus 100 gig 7200 is one I've been waiting for. I just hope Seagate maintains both quality and service levels... s

Converters are not a very good idea, IIRC. s

Yes, if you have a backplane, jump on the 80 pin scsi/sca. I've been thinking about a similar backup solution, and, I can buy, and use, a 4-6 drive scsi/sca box, with hot swapable drives, for about 200 bucks, from hypermicro. While not the cheapest solution, it would sure be nice... s

Congrats :mrgrn:

Andy: If all you want is a boot drive, get the fastest X 15.3 Cheetah you can afford. You already have the scsi expensive stuff, and selling it is just going to mean loosing more money. LVD and the new single Cheetahs are a just about perfect match. s

sechs: I'm not being a racist here. No denying we took Kalifornia from Mexico. Still, the situation I have described exists, and, it is a serious problem. I'm not jazzed when 400,000 visas are approved to bring in more tech workers from India, so they can drive the existing job market value...

I'm with DD on this one. Use legal workers, and lots of the problems that inflate our taxes etc. would be solved. Would you pick cabage for minimum wage is really the problem? College students? s

The Matrox P550 in the other room seems very clear, almost clearer then my setup. I just tried down grading to 16.8 million colors, and it really seems to remove a depth, like almost 3d feeling, in DVD playback, and on my regular screen, as well. This with the P 650. Watching Gollum take a...

I'll take that as a rehtorical you. I happen to agree with you. It would force better pay, better working conditions, and of course, a bit higher prices in the markets, but that's life. On the otherhand, with fewer mouths to feed, with the law of supply and demand, maybe we wouldn't have 16...

Wonderful layer I forgot about with the entire picture. My town, Walnut Creek, has very little violent crime, but quite a bit of theft. Why? We have an excellent police force, and here's their side. Around the town, we have a number of areas that have large numbers of illegal immigrants...

Just did a test with my current setup. I used Windows Media Explorer to run the same video file off a Diamondmax Plus 9 160 gig, on the motherboard ide channel, and, the same file off a 10k XL 18, hooked up to the Adaptec 29160N with all my CD roms, and DVD player attached. There was...

The P 650 plays Quake 3 at respectable frame rates, and at insane clarity and max settings. I wonder what their new card is going to be like? s

Clocker: It's really horrible when death hits home, and it's so close. I'm sorry. I've been posting about gang related stuff for a long time. Police and gangs are in a war no one wants to tell you about, and it's right here, in the United States, under your noses. The 18's have 4 million...

Seagate produces excellent products, backed them up, and helped when they didn't have too. I've always felt money on their drives was well spent, and an excellent value. Granite Digital is similiar. Please note I do not use Seagate ide drives, except for laptops. They are also based right...

How nice. These are the folks Clinton supported... :o

That's not good. s

Previously a P550 did not offer this feature, and while one of the better video cards for 2D I've ever used, it was truly sucktacular at 3d. s

Not with my prior video cards. Also, not nearly at this quality. s

Hi Splash has done a really good job of convincing me of the nature of Matrox cards. NO OTHER CARDS COME CLOSE. A feature he hasn't mentioned, is Matrox P650 and above have software that enables hardware support, for DVD playback. It's truly incredible. It plays DVD's at 1024 X, with hardware...

Since they are using everyone elses components, I wonder what motherboard they use? s

Amen. s

"Bang, bang, bang>" Mercuitio hitting nail on the head again. SR require money to function. No income, no storagereview.com I think I went down this road one time before. :evil: Adcadet: feel free to buy the WD drives. I'll stick with Seagate. They have never lied to me, they have never...

SATA is attractive. Granite Digital offers some very cheap controllers, I don't know if they are bootable, and the cables are much cheaper then SCSI. That said, wait until WD has competition from Seagate with SATA drives, and what the specs are going to be. Part of the brilliance of WD is...

This is the kind of crap that makes me go psycho... " Dear Friend: I recently met with local transit and rail officials in Oakland to discuss the measures we need to take to better protect public transportation travelers from terrorist attacks. The attacks in Madrid that killed almost 200...

Merc: Isn't Sony the only one out with a DL writer? Costco has a 400 dollar unit that takes a VCR tape, and converts it to DVD, probably single layer. I'll look at the ADS Pyro a bit more, but what I've found is kind of scary. What,and how, do you converte DV into MPEG2? Plextor I haven't...

ROFL! "Get a white friend" ROFL

Sigh is right. The intentions of the founders was to design a system of government that would not be overthrown by mob rule, like the Greeks. They designed the state system to allow the Federal Government very little control over the states. The irony is slavery pretty much forced the...

Still, it would be nice to be able to burn DVD's and have backups avaliable, one to one. Saw a Sony 8x ide at Costco for 130, but, I still would like to be able to do a flat out copy of our favorite used DVD's. Another idea I have is I wonder if you can take VCR tapes and copy onto DVD's? I...

Just figured out how to enable hardware on the P650 to help in video playback. Now plays DVD's at 1024 X 768 quality. Really much better then just software viewing. *.PSAT Found it. Backed it up, but how do you open it? Copy it back to the same path and replace it? Thanks gs

Forgot to add, as good as the Pioneer looks, Plextor has a 12X DVD writer on the market. So 8x should be yesterday, tomorrow. s

Granite Digital has come up with some really cost effective SATA solutions. www.granitedigital.com They also have some pretty good ide/firewire solutiont for backup. http://www.firewiredirect.com/firewire/products/dvdcenter.shtml has some really cost effective bundles for DVD drives, media...

This could also be the problem. s

Finally, the best example I can think of currently is the all so obvious silence addressing the valid issues brought up by Dr. Martin Fackler about gun control. The real saddness is that it's obvious the anit-gun people have no intrest in information or honest discussion, or they would...

To take it one step more, 'liberals' have become lemmings as well. Rather then looking at all data, history etc. they now look at 'conservatives' and bandy against someone, rather then for a position. Bush is a great example. He spends money like a drunken liberal, giving millions to peoples...

"Liberals" are currently the ultimate lie. I was, and am still accused, of being liberal. Liberal, since I'm old enough to have been around when the start of the movement really got going, was originally a term applied to socialists, etc. True liberalism, in the early 60's implied a tolerance...

Could you list which are 80 pin, and which 68 pin? Thanks gs

Briefly, the Constitution is designed to limit only the Federal government, not the state governments. Only through the 14th amendment was the Bill of Rights extended to the states, and then only selectively. The Founding Father's intentions are made pretty clear in The Federalist Papers...

Stalin killed about 20 million people. Hitler about 6 million Jews. 50 Million people died in WWII alone, IIRC. Funny no one wants to address Dr. Fackler on this point: I can understand the suicide stuff, in certain cases. My uncle was a competitive bicycle racer, and some disease cost him...

http://chezjacq.com/fackler.htm pretty funny.

So, only people like yourself are entitled to feel in anyway secure against personal attacks? God created man. Sam Colt made us equal. That cuts both ways. CT, you'll feel better about it when you get older, and loose that physical ability, or it's diminished by injury, or age. s

No. They do have the advantage of being able to strike first. It's not a good idea for a criminal to take their illegal gun to a firing range, and, it's very difficult to find places to legally use a firearm, at least in the crowded US. We are ready do this, with terrible consequences. It's...

That's what I'm currently using. s

I forgot to add that many European countries don't waste resources on the crap we try and stop. Prostitution, and drugs, in a couple Euro countries are legal. Why bother fighting that war, when bigger ones are around? Germany and other countries are on top of terrorism, since they don't waste...

I agree it's retarded, but, it's also true. The people with the guns get to write the rules. Ask the majority of the world, and I think you will find that true. First lesson you learn in International politics, 101. Feel free to show me how I'm wrong with the History of the USSR, China, Japan...
