pr0n files?

Wolfdales are surely faster than P4s and OC like mad.

Dare we ask what personal apps read a half-million files at a time? :o

Almost $500 for a pair. http://tinyurl.com/cm7xq7

Why use the consumerish WD stuff? Don't they make 15K SAS drives anymore?

I have four of those, now relegated to the great pile of unused drives. That drive is particularly smooth and quiet, but not fast.

The WD 2TB is reaching retail volumes. http://tinyurl.com/clkmvx Perhaps they will drop after a while.

Unfortunately an SSD was rejected by the OP; see above posts.

Heh, you probably don't think it was wise to buy the 32GB X25-E last year for $650 either. :mrgrn:

Never mind - I understand now. :idea: Damn, I should have gone with more RAM. :) Are there any 4GB DDR2 modules that don't cost an arm and a leg? For the OP: More RAM is much better if very large/complex files are involved, which appears to be the case. Regardless of the amount of RAM the...

Were any of them 50+, overweight and wearing a brace?

If you have a medical condition, are overweight, are aged over 40 years or haven’t exercised regularly in a long time, see your doctor for a medical check-up before starting any new exercise program.

I'd see a doctor first. ;)

I tried Samsung once and the warranty was rejected. I assumed that was due to it being an OEM drive, but I did not follow up.

Do they sell drives with US warranty now?

That does not increase capacity as much, not to mention the economics of a RAID controller. :o Alternatively one could split the 2TB drive. I also noticed the WD15EADS (1.5TB) drive listed this weekend at a more reasonable cost/GB ratio.

AS DSLR with video is not a camcorder.

That would be the 250GB WD. I bought a couple of them. The performance increase over a 120GB drive, for example, is quite noticeable. However, many older notebooks suffered from the dreaded 128GB LBA limit even long after the issue had been resolved on desktop systems. If the notebook was...

Screenshot?

Watchmen looks to be quite bad, unless one is a fan of comic books. Anyway, films are around for weeks or months.

How long will it be before there are SATA 3 RAID controllers?

Nevada???

I thought Merc was the Biggest Consumer. :lol: So much for trends.

Blech. One should not need SteadyState or other kludges. The SSD needs refinement.

My 8GB XP64 system can use at most 3255MB in CS3/CS4 vs. 2786MB in CS2. The 64 bits of CS4 is not doing anything special in routine use that I have noticed. CS4 still uses only one core for some operations, which can make it annoyingly slow (e.g., in saving large files) regardless of RAM or HD...

Still it's only a 5400RPM drive, and there is no US version if their other 3.5" drives are any indication.

I thought 6Gbps SAS was announced around 6 months ago. Why abandon it?

Maybe if one asks nicely?

That is a partial answer, but also I'd rather have a retail drive. Another reason is that the 5400RPM drives are good for backups, yet there are no 7200RPM 2TB drives to back up.

I doubt that you want to increase aerial density. You mean areal density?

That WD 2TB drive is back in stock. For some reason I did not buy one. :(

Speaking of which, where is Kevin lately?

WTF? That Frankendrive takes over the whole computer. Little it ain't.

Eewwww!

You've not been skiing there?

Mammoth. :)

Yes.

Kids fit in the rear?

Doesn't everybody know how to search a PDF file? Was it locked or something? US gov. generates and accepts PDF files for many purposes. There are multiple PDF readers/writers, so it should not be a problem.

I received that error a few times when the unpowered hub was not supplying enough power.

I tried the conversion, but many programs no longer worked, so I reverted to a previous image. It is not worth the hassle, since X25-E is working fine.

XP SP3. I think it wants the boot partition to be NTFS rather than FAT32.

Why do we need another f***ing browser? Enough already. It is all the same silly internet.

SteadyState doesn't work in my computer. The file system is not compatible. :(

Probably by Windows 7, SP2...

Not that I could find. There are only cable/connector adapters for various IDE devices (ZIF, micro ATA, ATA, etc.) and they are difficult enough to squeeze into the drive space.

Clicking is OK, but high-pitched whining is not.

Why on earth did you do that?

Every day. In the notebook forums it is quite common to read about people that use all sorts of SSD and adapter setups with their 1.8" systems. One of the main criteria I used last year in selecting a small notebook was that it must contain a reasonably accessible, standard 2.5" SATA drive...

There are some complaints about noise. I wonder how bad that really is.
