Interesting. Maybe it's just that I'd never heard of OCZ until 2008 or so. The name is horrid when pronounced, which does not help.

Damned Dell notebook is kaput. Now it will take forever to have it repaired wherever they send it. It was easier before the IT help was outsourced. :(

I need a cooler like that, but my CPU is too old.

Reasonable, as in similar to the X25-M?

Who are they anyway and what do they do, manufacturing or design? Has OZC been around over ten years or are they some new flash in the pan that will go under once other established companies develop better/cheaper products?

I've been running quad cores for several years on XP. You may be thinking of Win2K, which could not distinguish physical from logical cores. Of course I agree to Win7 being a logical choice.

Often I don't know where I'm going until I get there, and then it would be too late.

Sure, all TV should be HD. However, the programming is only partially in HD and it costs more to watch the same crap. Maybe I will get HD when everything is eventually 100% HD and the cost is the same.

A man with a like mind. :)

From what I heard there is less live coverage than in 1984. I stopped watching the olympians permanently in 1996.

We only have one vehicle with plenty of water and food for a few days. If there is a medical emergency then I will just die off.

Status of what, being a slave to the machine? :)

Why are BlackBerrys so popular, just because they were first? At practically every large company I visit people are all wandering around with a BB attached at the hip like a medical device.

I am underwhelmed.

Will the Olympians ever end. :(

That is good service, although one would expect them to know about it automatically. I don't know what kind of system my cheapie phone uses. It is fine most of the time, but in remote areas of Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, etc. there is no signal. :(

By the time I build a new system that board will be long gone.

Bummer. What a pain. Fortunately the set was not a gift if I understand correctly.

There are so many other drives and new ones in the coming months, I'd certainly not buy an EOL product such as the Vortex.

Thanks, but it is not a problem. I leave SSD drives dangling.

It is still sold at HBO. http://store.hbo.com/detail.php?p=100545&v=hbo_shows_the-sopranos_dvds-cds-books

It looks like those clowns are trying to dump a failed product line at premium prices.

No, but I believe it was listed that way.

The 80GB G2 I received from Newegg did not have any extras.

I received the basic X25M G2 in a small brown box with no spacers or anything but an instruction leaflet. It is about 7mm or so compared to the standard 9.5mm notebook drive.

I have used up to four controller cards in one computer, but not more than one of the 8x/16x slot variety that would be needed. My next computer may need 3+ 8x/16x slots.

The OCZ is rather bulky. Is that normal? The Intel SSDs are much smaller.

I did not notice the window when purchasing the drive or I would have chosen something else. I think it was on sale for a low price. Model is the WD1500AHFD, mfg. Augusto 2007.

I suppose it will be a collector/museum piece someday when hard drives are no longer produced. :) I tossed it in the bin with the numerous IDE drives. I have so many old, useless drives that it is ridiculous.

Another spammer is on the loose.

I would need two arrays, one for data and another equal one for the backups. Are there differences in 2TB drives on arrays? I recall that WD sells specific models for RAID at substantially higher prices. Are Hitachi and Samsung, Seagate, etc. all the same?

I found an odd hard drive in the 2nd system. It is an old WD raptor of some sort with a clear window. Weird.

Do any monitors support the new Spyder or are you doing everything in software?

I received that OCZ (what a disgusting name). It is just so-so in performance, being slower than the X25-M and slower yet than the X25-E. Of course that is fine in absolute terms. I have not found any defects yet, so it will be utilized in the backup computer as the boot drive to replace an...

Beam me up.

I bought one about 5 years ago, or maybe more. The only problem is that they can go bad over time. :( I need to get another one when I get around to it. Does your monitor support that device directly? If so, it is an especially good choice.

I have no interest either, but I'm not in IT.

I drank a whole 2L bottle of diet Coke. That is enough beverage for me. :)

I guess Macs are good for something. :mad: That is why I cover mine with dark tape.

Can you use two of the RAID cards in one machine?

I have limited space for hard drives (only 13x3.5" along with 2xSSD and one optical drive) so the larger ones are for capacity. Lately I have been replacing the remaining 1TB drives with retail 2TB Hitachi drives, simply because they were in the $130-$140 range at the time. I have a number of...

I have a bookmark link for all 2TB drives. :) I don't look at smaller drives now, but of course they are there.

The Samsung 2TB is back in stock at the eggs.

Not me. Ankles don't bend so well with the shoes on and at $300-500 for fitted shoes it is not worth it.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

An invalid argument was encountered. :frusty:

:oops: Well thanks. I'm not sure they were all respectful. :diablo:

Is there meaningful anonymity on sites like Twitter and Faceplate?

I am 1/2 engineer. ;)

I wonder if MLC flash memory will eventually take over completely.
