<0> Maryland
<1> shipping cant be that bad
<0> you?
<1> phoenix
<1> az
<0> hmmmm
<0> how much you think it would be?
<0> think of it as youre paying me to take them off your hands :D
<1> the garbage can doesnt charge
<0> nor do i
<0> but ups does
<0> lol
<1> its what 34 cents a pound these days
<1> **** its small enough for stamps
<0> uhm..
<1> u dont need them alive
<0> heh
<0> nope
<0> just throw em in a box
<0> and hope for the best
<1> test usps on just a paded manila envelope and we could take pics of every stage!!
<0> DO IT
<0> dude hard drives can take a ****ing beating
<0> i dropped one out of my 2 story window once
<0> didnt even break or anything
<0> well...
<0> it wont WORK anymore
<0> but it is physically fine
<1> thats sad
<0> CHEA!
<1> shoulda gotten the clank of death
<1> Calgar they arent in a box already
<1> like external
<2> no, they are just bare drives
<1> you mount that in a case and you have to deal with spin up times
<1> set delays
<1> lol
<0> spiiin
<0> sp1n
<1> i had a nec risc express 5100 it had 9 half heights
<2> slimeball: huh? why do you have to set delays?
<1> 1/2 them had to be on 10 second delay
<1> cause it couldnt take the draw
<2> hehe
<1> all them drives spinning up at 1 time
<1> woooo
<2> a modern PSU would probabally be able to take it
<1> full heights take even more
<1> no
<1> not even close
<2> really?
<1> i had 2 680w in that one even
<2> hmm, ok
<2> crapola
<1> no way in hell... but external full height drive boxes have enough power
<1> and they are cheap as hell
<1> you got 9gb drives that will last a lifetime and then some
<1> its not like full height is old
<1> them 9.1gb arent that old.. and they still make larger ones
<1> its hardcore lifetime drive
<1> they hardly fail
<2> hmm, cool, might have to put them in my linux server..... and get a better PSU, or two
<1> ya 2 large ones atleast and see what happens
<1> you cant use atx
<1> well can but
<1> get some old large at
<1> AT*
<2> why cant you use ATX?
<1> well how does atx work?
<1> its always on
<1> your board's power button inits power unit
<1> if you add the **** you can
<1> but you have no init to tell it POWER ON
<1> unit*
<2> thats quite easy
<1> AT is a always on switching supply
<1> and you can get some really large ones
<1> or make
<1> so if its that easy just make a large switching power supply
<2> hmm, diddent know you could get large AT units
<1> ya its just a switching supply
<1> i have a 700 some odd watt in the SBC with 20 slot backplane next to me
<2> largest on ebay is 230w
<2> hmm
<3> the largest at i've seen was 600w and it was m***ive (physically)
<1> lol ya... ever try to find some local electronics surplus? if ya like to geek on electronics should be fun
<3> easily 8"x8"
<1> well how BOUT dump AT
<1> and look for switching power supplys
<1> you dont need the 5V
<1> er wait ya you do nm
<2> slimeball: no "local" electronics surplus, unfortunatly
<1> large 12 and 5
<1> heh ****ty.. im used to seattle and boeing surplus
<1> we have honeywell and intel here
<2> i might have to look around to see if their are any slightly further afield
<2> what could i put into ebay to find a large PSU like that then? hmm
<3> Calgar, does it need to be AT formfactor?
<2> nah
<3> cause you could probably find some pretty beefy PSUs in old concentrators
<2> concentrators?
<3> check out synaptics lattisnet concentrators
<3> they should be cheap and mostly in europe
<1> seeing as you got 6 9.1 and ima ***ume seagate sence its full height.. we should look up power requirements
<1> and yes today modern day power supplys like this 750w atx i just ran into would be fine
<3> http://cgi.ebay.com/SYNOPTICS-LATTISNET-3000-CONCENTRATOR_W0QQitemZ5830611932QQcategoryZ86725QQcmdZViewItem
<1> BUT
<3> like that ****er
<1> thats why there is the delay spin time
<1> and you dont have to worry bout it if you set that
<1> the scsi card doesnt id the drives for a while
<1> and they send spin command
<1> then poof
<3> some of them come with redundant supplies so you get two psus
<3> that one has a 460w
<3> there are quite a few of those old mammoth sized concentrators around
<2> not seagate
<2> IBM
<2> just got the drive
<2> well, one
<1> WOW
<2> ?
<1> well i guess mabey it was just the draw
<1> of 9 drives at once
<1> and 250w is fine
<1> check this out
<1> http://www.amtrade.com/pc/7drivebay_case_external_idescsi.htm
<1> they mounted standard AT supply in that
<2> oh, they are seagate..... just rebranded IBM
<4> with FTP, is 'host' your domain and 'path' something else ?
<5> 'path' is uhm
<5> path to some 'dir'
<4> ohh
<5> yes sir..
<0> how powerful is the servo motor in saaaaaaay
<0> a 7k rpm drive?
<5> 490Nm
<5> 500kw
<0> hrrrrrrrrrrrm
<2> Fidelity_: well, the servo is probabally a constant power for most drives
<2> (seeing, as thats what moves the arms)
<2> not the platters
<0> O_o
<2> its a stepper motor that spins the platters IIRC
<0> oOoOo
<6> yeah the main spindle motor in a hard drive, floppy or cdrom is 3 phase brushless dcc
<6> dc
<0> can i take it out?
<0> and do something with it?
<0> lol
<6> it's essentially like a stepper but without the degree/step cogs
