    [NEWS] - Western Digital to introduce 72GB Raptor.

    They did trademark the name. ATA is a derivative of AT, both of which define the physical, electrical, transport, and command protocols for the internal attachment of storage devices to host systems. IDE was WDs way of showing that they moved the drive electronics onboard (although XT/AT/ATA...

    [NEWS] - Western Digital to introduce 72GB Raptor.

    WD is using two platters for the latest Raptor design, which in itself is a difficult task, as the dynamics of the spindle, platters, and airflow changes inside the chasis. All of this affects the ability to read and write properly. I'm happy to see that one of the top three HDD manufacturers...

    Data Recovery from "dead" Laptop HD (IBM DJSA-220)

    The chassis and top plate are two of the most resilient items in that computer case; actually they’re more durable then the case itself. I was more worried about the adhesive used on the tape seal for those drives -- especially on the side where the servo data is written from. But, my worries...

    Cases with SATA power connectors?

    You might want to check out the SuperMicro SC733T-450 which has hot-swap SATA bays. Plus, there is the Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W power supply with one SATA connector.

    GS The saying, ‘turn the other cheek’ is often misquoted. At Matthew 5:39, Jesus said, “Do not resist him that is wicked; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other also to him.” A slap is an insult, often designed to provoke a fight. By not retaliating when subjected to...

    Quick question: easiest imaging software for instanty backup

    To me, the level of paranoia being expressed about the many different ways the system could fail (PSU, drives) and the data could be lost, warrants the extra cost. However, I personally would try to reduce those fears, and instead build a single system with RAID 1, redundant power supplies for...

    Quick question: easiest imaging software for instanty backup

    Then how about having two identical systems except for the drives. One system has no drives, and the other system has two, in carriers that create a mirrored set. If the drives are okay, but the system is down, pull out the drives, and put them into the other system. If one of the drives...

    Quick question: easiest imaging software for instanty backup

    If the PSU or motherboard fails, you don't need a duplicate copy of the drive, you're just going to move the drive from one system to the other. If the drive or ATA controller fails, all you need is a mirrored set (RAID 1) in the same system for your duplicate information. In order to solve...

    Be careful with Mitsubishis. Due to their alliance with Daimler-Chrysler, some Mitsubishis have Chrysler transmissions -- that is a big no-no. Chrysler transmissions have had a very poor reliability rating for the past two decades. This I have experienced first-hand in the past couple of...
