Is there a Windows utility for that?

Global warning, my a$$! It is freeeeeeezing.

How would this drive not use rotating media?

WD 5400 rpm drives are for backups, being somewhat slower than desired. Will Hitachi be next with a decent 2TB 7200 rpm drive?

Huh? Perhaps we need the LOST one to translate?

It was -18 °C this morning and may be colder tomorrow. :blue:

No, I'm not that old. :mad: I only have a rare opportunity to have large items brought inside and up, unless it is furniture or something delivered like that. Sometimes a UPS guy can help a little. A huge box with a 25KG computer case would not be fun.

Maybe, except I don't even have a decent long-sleeved shirt to wear or a long coat. It will be colder than the last time I was in Antarctica. :o I am hoping there are taxicabs available at the airport at midnight. Meanwhile it was in the mid-80°F range today with Santa Anas.

It looks like there are two (or maybe 3?) of the Seagate drives in there, though the drive names are truncated. What is up with the SCSI - some designation by the add-in controller driver? What about the 1TB Maxtor drives? I have a couple of those offsite as the main backups. :(

Oh great, I have some ST1000340AS drives in my system. How can I determine the number of each model?

Is that why they replaced the CEO on Monday? But meanwhile, more 3.5" SAS drives.

Aw, crap. Later this week I must travel to the US central zone. Wind chill is expected to be -28°C. in the morning. :eek:

OK, OK. I suspect that was not the most brilliant plan. My main problem with the external drives is that the letters get messed up terribly if the power sequence is not exactly the same.

If I have the opportunity to buy one more full-sized computer case in this lifetime, what should it be? The case should have space for 14 hard drives and one optical drive. It should have decent cooling, but not monsoon force air noise. However, I am less interested in quietness from the...

I don't doubt that there will be 1TB 2.5" drives in 2009, but there will very likely be better mainstream alternatives than that specialized supplier.

Hey what happened to my post? The drive is working well, but it is rather slow with only 43GB free. :(

I'm hoping for WD 2TB drives soon. Perhaps reducing the number of hard drives will help. :)

Let them eat Soylent Green. :puke-r:

IMO a compressor should be in a utility room with hard pressure lines leading to POU. Usually I would specify a separator and pressure regulator at each POU. At least that is what I did back when I designed small facilities. It is better to have a somewhat larger compressor/tank than needed...

Did you move, or are you just on travel?

Mid-2009 is vaporware.

Did one of our members get run over?

Was that on the left side of the road?

I assume you have never been to Antarctica . ;)

Beer is packaged differently up there?

Usually if the controller does not support the drive, it does not function or performance suffers. In this case it passed all the Nero read/write tests just fine up to 18x, so I did not think about that possibility.

Maybe you could install Windows 7 on it. :)

Oh, I thought it was in a home office. :o Dare I ask what the compressor is for? Do you perform repairs or some type of service?

Intel HSF really blow, or is that suck? BTW, how is the LGA1366 - same, better or worse that LGA775?

Well I hope it is not too close to your bedroom. ;)

Aren't air compressors rather noisy? Is this in your garage?

RUM will slow down the CPU after a while. :)

How much OC are you expecting from the CPU? Why not just run default settings?

:D As if Apple have anything to do with it. Uda never stops.

Lucky you. With my connection, it would take until 54 to download that size file. ;)

It must be a damn fine bed.

It will be a cold day in hell that I use an SD card in a Leaf.

SD cards are too damn small and flimsy. In any event, there could be a 4TB CF card by then, and it would be faster too.

It usually takes me about 2 hours, i.e., 30 minutes for the board and 90 minutes to stop the bleeding and bandage my cut hand. :(

My problem is more basic, in that I cannot easily receive something as large as a computer case. I should have purchased a case a few years ago instead of using the same old one from ~2001.

If I understand correctly, you have no time to find a freeware app and are now asking us to do that for you. How dare anyone ask for money to buy a "dumb" product that may actually work? :p

Now I understand. The optical drive was plugged into one of the purple ports, not an orange port. (Presumably the purple ports originate from an add-in controller rather than the ICH.) On an orange port the drive behaves normally. There is such a mess of SATA cables in the ancient computer...

It goes away when the drive is disabled. I have not tried pulling it. I use an old version of Nero (6.x) but that is not present on a clean install.

Thanks. I tried disabling/uninstalling various applications to no avail. Then I tried a clean installation of XP32 and it does the same thing. :( Is it normal that the drive shows up as a DVD-RAM when the tray is empty? Perhaps there is something in Windows itself, though I turned off the CD...

For some reason Windows Explorer and everything else dependent on it runs very slowly and the cursor stutters whenever there is nothing in the DVD burner. There is no problem when a CD or DVD with data is in the drive. It is as if the drive is waiting on a disc. Disabling the drive also...

Was it the kind from 40-50 years ago or something more high tech?

In other words, did Merc ask in serious vein or as a smart-ass? Of course the employee may be clueless about the store's merchandise. The local Hallmark store is closing after the holidays.

It is 2009 and I don't feel any different.

What is up with the Google? Every time I start to type there is a list of searches. This one was particularly goofy. Is how to find out if someone likes you, is married, or has a warrant the priority of our culture?
