In general, the letter "D" cannot be used as a single identifier for an areal density. As time progresses, and new areal densities are ramped, a DZ family (for example) may have 60 GB per platter, thus nullifying the absolute with which you may read the WD email. However, knowing the areal...

Mercutio, you always come shining through, with a healthy dose of reality! :mrgrn:

Just for kicks, why not actually erase the data on the drive instead of using format and delete. I have had some woes with NT and the Master Boot Sector until I actually erased the data with a utility that writes a pattern to the drive. Once the data is truly erased, then try installing...

From what I can pull out of WD, and gather from their RMA printouts, DE would be a particular family, just like CX or CP. The newer family sports the newer areal density. BR

Thanks for the post BWM. I'm quite familiar with WD's response and model numbering scheme. Having purchased plenty of WD product and being a SelectWD Reseller, I've learned a bit about their new ways. BR

It's nice having my 8-port KVM switch operational. Presently I'm only running three systems through it, but I like the extra space. I'll need to get some more cables too.

Just as a note, the D does not directly identify a 40 GB-per-platter drive. The D and the E specify a particular family. It just so happens that DE is one of the families sporting the 40 GB-per-platter areal density.

boxes ...and, they are boxes, as I do assemble plenty. So, as one goes, another gets hooked up. This makes the Bartender's input inconsistent (as you may have noticed). I'm also in the process of assembling an 8-port switch box so that I can run more than a couple systems at once when...

Boring indeed. Perhaps a shot of the disk drive's label alone would work for certain models. The Deskstar 34GXP, as you've pointed out, does look beautiful.

Not meant to burst your bubble Coug, but the Bartender's crunch rate won't last forever. He's using some of the computers I've assembled for customers. Once they're payed for and picked up, things will slow down a bit. We do, however, appreciate your updates and taking the lead with this...

The words of an insightful (note hint of sarcasm) chap from the aforementioned thread: “I have an 8 gig IBM drive and an 8 gig Maxtor drive. They are both 5 years old and have not given me any problems at all. I have done multiple formats and reinstalls and still no slow down or noise at all. I...

Patience my cantankerous friend.

No worries on the thread theme, the Bartender and I will retake this thread when the World Cup starts.

Cliptin, They'll have what you need here: http://www.caseoutlet.com with a nice mATX case here: http://www.caseoutlet.com/case/4117/CS-4117.html BR

Coug, After you login, just type HELP and you'll get a list of commands. The PUT command is for uploading, the GET command is for downloading. Once crucial thing is that you are locally in the appropriate directory. For this you can type LCD. To change your local directory, you can type LCD...

Not that I've contributed much to this thread, my guess is the same.

I was referring to flagreen.

By the way Handruin, that cookie-cutter avatar isn't much better than a dancing banana or chicken.

Act nicely - how ponderous for us quick minded technicians!

I think the Bartender has begun to pull his weight at last! When do we pass Pfeffer again!?! Tea, we would like, nay, we require your assistance! Please summon Tannin to his feet, and pull his nose out of updating redhill.net. Assemble some machines and run Windows or some sort (NT 4.0...

Quieter than a SP2001H?

Ah, but you forget the ever encompassing, and always controversial: theology.

GUI Clients are for the retched! DOS is the only way to go!

What's the problem? Would you like me to upload something? Or is this beyond syntax?

You're welcome.

ftp storageforum.net [wait for login prompt]reviews [wait for password prompt]sf ...you are there

No thanks.

Just use a command prompt in DOS. ftp whatever.whomever.com login password cd (if necessary) ascii put text files binary put image files bye exit ...I'm sure you know that sequence.

The Redhill Guide to Hardware is even mentioned here: http://users.erols.com/chare/hardware.htm

I think the contrast in the Deskstar 34GXP picture is what brings it to life. Although, if the acoustic dampener would have refleted that same brilliant blue as in the Quantum Fireball CX picture, we'd have one for the museum.

Tannin, I like the picture of the IBM DALA-3540, with the reflection of the leaves in the disks - nice touch.

Tannin, you need a good picture of a full-height 5.25" drive with the lid off and the platters spinning.

The Installable File System Manager file can also cause conflicts with PCI Steering. The version that came with Windows 95 version 4.0.950 and later do have a bug. Mercutio's prescription for a cure is an excellent start. BR

My next step was the CPU. RAM is easier to change.

Yes, seeing team Pfeffer pass by was not nice. I wish we had more computing power.

NEVER! I had a customer return his computer because "the motherboard was bad". He was having issues with PCI adapters, tried them in other systems and they worked. Suddenly, he received a Check Sum Error, and then no video. He tried different PCI video cards, but to no avail. My first...

Too busy and quick. A few lurking crocodiles or submerged behemoths would let the entertainment last longer.

HD, Thanks for that correction, your suggestions would work perfectly. I was not sure if there was an official post or not, so the word "discussed" seemed like a compromise.

You could write something to the effect of: Greetings: As a representative of resellers from Australia, Canada, and the United States, and as Editor of StorageForum.net, we are concerned about a suspected change in AMD’s roadmap. In reference, the roadmap here: <...

Did IBM really lose anything? The exit from the 3.5” EIDE market bodes little change in the OEM arena. Even a good portion of IBM desktop systems don’t come with IBM hard disk drives. The big four you mentioned will gain very little market share with the loss of IBM, but they will look behind...

I've had good success combining the Asus P5A-B with: ATI Xpert 98 8MB video cards, ECS ISA Audio cards, and WindowsXP.

That will change the HDD playing field for other HDD manufacturers.

Cricket is for nancies!

Give it a try. Tell them that your interest is as an editor and also because you have several resellers around the world asking the same question.

Has anyone used or sold the Samsung SyncMaster 150t? I know this topic has been discussed before, but I just wanted to get everyones input again. BR

That signature is beautiful, and true.

Nope, the 2002 World Cup is being held in Korea and Japan. I'm really looking forward to the 2006 World Cup which will be held in Germany. They're gonna remodel the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, and it will seat 76,000 people. I hope that Germany will get their act together by then and will be...

Thanks for the information Bartender, I expect you'll have some of the games televised in the bar.
