What GB?

600GB platters at 7200 RPM are still not bad. Do Hitachi drives work in RIAD?

Usually, but for the 60GXP.

Does that mean it is a 5-banger?

It is interesting that Hitachi ignored the advancing format this time around.

3TB

:roll:

It is still more than half and meanwhile HDs are cheaper too. At that rate I will be old dead before capacities and price of SSDs and HDs are in parity.

I used the wrong cable. :DOH:

Whatever I can do to be of help. :) I had no idea your unit was so small.

You mean like "Stereodüd?" :idea:

Thanks. I had a feeling it would be too complicated like that.

I received the silly Egg e-mail recommending accessories. How exactly is an internal 500GB notebook drive an accessory to an internal 640GB notebook drive? :nono: Do I really need one of these? :bsmurf:

I don't want to recover the data as it is not unique. I lamented the dead drive and now I need to figure out how to efficiently destroy the data.

I'm not so sure it will be as soon as many think. Not that much SSD capacity/price progress has been made in the past year. 10 years ago many were proclaiming that tape would be a dead storage medium and it is still progressing.

You don't use proper safety equipment? :bigeek:

What can I use to synchronize the Outlook 2003 PST files on two home networked computers? I've tried several random sharewares with little luck. Typically I want to boot one computer for checking the websites, receiving/sending e-mails, etc. for the times that accessing files on the main...

It really stinks. :blue:

The Callisto is too plain and blocky to be cute. ;) It is a bit faster on another controller. The SSD is oddly a bit thicker than the usual 9.5 mm drive. Don't you think it will be a good Christmas present for someone as a boot drive? :)

After reading everything I could find online, I spent a few days searching stores in a 50mi radius for cases a couple of weeks ago. Overall I was disappointed that cases are more complicated and flimsier than they were 10 years ago; for example more plastic materials and gimmicky mountings are...

The power went from the SATA power to the drive, through the SATA cable and to the motherboard. The drive was one of my favorites and has data on it so it cannot simply be throw out. :eekers:

I had a small disaster today and lost interest in the noise. End result was one good drive burned, 2 cables burned and one ICH port burned. :shaking:

Thanks. It appears to be impossible at this time.

The manufacturers have finally agreed on the HAMR.

750GB is barely enough for two weeks of stills, not to mention videos. I could use 1TB+ drives of the 9.5 mm height variety.

Dynamat? Best Buy does carry it, but for $130 :o and not in the stores.

I did not notice the the hollow enclosure sound in the Antec Soldana II system because the main system was so much louder before the replacement. Now it is a bit annoying that the case is louder when closed than open. I know there are some types of mats or acoustic dumping material that should...

My base results are 470W. Of course it doesn't use nearly that much, even during the CPU burn test.

It's pretty typical. The modern 5400 RPM drives are quite efficient at idle.

Manufacturers can stack many chips in a small space if that is warranted. Cost is the issue.

The Munchkin drive is running out of bus speed for some reason.

Obviously. This is the >500GB thread. :lol: That is not to mention the 640GB SSDs would be more than $65. :)

Now here is the Samsung 640GB 7200 RPM drive. It is a bit noisier than 5400 RPM drives, but cool. STR is the highest I've seen yet in a notebook drive.

Who knows; it's like a yo-yo. :bravo:

750GB Seagate at 7200 RPM.

Lost a critical e there? :razz:

You could try it in a Drobo. They do some weird things with matching disparate drives. I don't understand the purpose.

Or keep using Windows. Figuring out the craziness of each version gives me a headache. Vista was good for +1/4". 8-)

Why not an epoxide glue? We used such resins for potting all sorts of devices in the olden days.

I don't know. No more YouTubes for me.

I have not used a Mac in nearly 20 years.

Basically the Samsung F4 has achieved similar STR to a WD 7200 RPM 4-platter drive from a year ago. The latter does not use the advancing format. A 3-platter 2TB 7200 RPM drive would be nice.

Are you going to replace F3s with F4s? I'm trying to decide for myself if there is any real advantage.

No, guided. :)

The specs are good, a little faster than the 640GB drives and about the same as the 750GB drives. Access times are more like 7200 RPM drives. I wonder if there are more bits per track and less tracks.

Even WD drives? :owneddnce:

Now we need some type of guided toy SAMs to shoot them down. :)

Ever been sacked with a full stomach? :hurl:

Only Asus? I just built the Gigabyte-based system :frowner:
