<0> is this real??? http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/e0/ad/5ba5224128a0c7dddf077010.L.jpg
<1> Whats a good HDD for under $120
<0> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148110
<0> I guess technically that's not UNDER $120
<1> im looking at newegg too, thanks
<0> :p
<0> just type in your max price and browse away
<2> hi
<1> hello
<2> i am looking for a s-ata (2) controler with at least 12 available ports
<2> should have raid5 onboard or something
<3> 3ware is what you seek ara-fat32
<2> i see the 9000 model
<2> claims to be 3TB per controler
<2> so i have to use cheaper 250GB drives, would be interesting
<2> but this crap is slow
<2> only 100MB/s , for video editing its a little bit to slow
<2> xor engines ain't to be the fastest
<2> so should i go to RAID 0 1?
<2> e.g 12 500GB at raid01?
<3> you need speed or redundancy
<2> i need speed and redundancy
<2> but i see the speed on raid5 is painfull slow
<4> RAID5, then.
<5> ara-fat32: you need to get your facts straight
<5> because unless you want to invest in UltraSCSI 320 with a single drive on the chain
<5> it ain't gonna get any faster
<5> or you could go invest in a professional solid state solution
<5> but then you'd have to sell one of your kidneys
<2> that would also be a good point
<4> Isn't the PCI bus stuck at 132mb/s?
<2> my budget is 15k$
<5> he wants to buy an s-ata raid card for pci-32?
<5> is he totally stupid?
<4> I hope not.
<2> it runs on pci-x or something mobo
<4> ah.
<5> pci-x what
<5> 64, 128, 256?
<5> WHAT
<2> pci-x 64
<5> I could get more speed out of an x4 lane
<4> How are the PCI-E RAID cards looking now?
<4> I wish there was some budget/consumer level ones.
<5> some exist
<5> but no they're not consumer
<5> theoretically pci-x 64 is a bit faster
<5> but you're most likely sharing the bus
<5> with an x4 lane you have it all to yourself
<2> thanks sh4dowcat for the hints
<6> i have a scsi card from 1994 or 95 with a expension board that has 16 meg of ram, why does it need a expension board
<7> eh?
<2> think its the cache controler
<5> heh I have a motherboard here from the 80's
<2> i had a vlb card with 32 Mb to upgrade
<5> all it has are a bunch of isa slots on it
<5> well... and four simm slots
<2> vesa local bus , that was a pain
<5> no onboard ide/scsi anything
<5> old fashioned keyboard controller too
<5> serial mouse
<5> etc
<6> is it good to have a cache coontroller
<5> that card isn't worth the silicon it's made off
<5> maybe a museum would want it though
<6> i once found a 8086 in a skip, took it home had fun with it
<2> i found something i think its ok
<6> but kept the bulky hdd
<2> sh4dowcat, could you check out this please?
<2> Asus K8N4-E 754 nForce 4x PCI-E DDR400 , and this http://www.areca.com.tw/products/html/pciE-sata.htm
<2> they have 12 port s-ata2 with pci-e
<8> If you have a IDE to Compact Flash adapter, is there any reason you can't use CF as your system drive?
<8> I'm looking at this adapter
<8> http://sewelldirect.com/IDE-CF-Adapter-DI.asp
<9> i got hacked
<9> by ebay
<9> they chared 30,000 dollars
<9> im going bankrupt
<9> >;\
<7> huh
<9> ****in refurbished ****
<9> yo
<9> is there a way to clean monitor crt
<9> the whole thing inside as well
<9> i hear the monitor holds voltage
<9> and i dont want to **** **** up
<10> yep, you can get lethal voltages in monitors
<9> well thats helpful
<9> >=|
<10> I think theyve got capacitors so its not even safe when unplugged
<11> hehe
<11> i wanna open a monitor now
<12> x800 XL or x800 GTO ?
<13> I currently have a ATA/66 & ATA/100 7200rpm HDs on 1 IDE chain with a dvd-rom on the other. Will there be a noticable difference if I up that to 1 SATA 150 hard drive or is it not even worth it?
<14> Dartokomo: Keep in mind, most hard drives wount even move at 66mb/s, but an improvement will probly occure just by not using *** old disks.
<0> hmm I priced out two laptops I'd want...one is $250 more, but it has a dual core proc and better video and a slightly larger screen
<15> hi 2 all
<16> hmm, do you think I should get WD Raptors for my server or SCSI drives?
<3> what type server
<15> guys give me please often url's with English UNIX-news portals. Plz..
<3> and id avoid wd
<16> it's strictly a file server, serving hundreds of files averaging around 80MBs
<16> lots of people are accessing these files
<3> scsi if you can afford
<16> hmm, well these are already around 120gb worth of files
<16> this is going to be in RAID I might add
<16> SCSI leaves less room for expansion
<16> these are videos
<3> just buy bigger drives later
<16> yeah, it's not that simple tho with RAID...
<3> how much $$ you got to spend
<16> not sure how much I'm willing to spend, I'm considering getting a NAS / SAN
<3> http://www.promise.com/marketing/Landing%20Pages/M-Cl***%20Landing%20Page/m-cl***.asp
<0> why does it cost more to order nearly identical computers from dell as a "home user" than a "small business" user
<3> ask dell
<16> what's better, SAN or NAS?
<3> well
<3> nas has an embeded os
<3> san doesnt
<3> http://tinyurl.com/j28ym
<3> read that
<16> just read an article
<16> spamalope: do you use either one personally?
<3> im buying 3 sans next month
<3> and have one older one on site
<16> spamalope: how much do they cost?
<3> cdw.com
<3> has a listing
<7> $25 and I can sleep better at night, done
<16> hmm, i've never even heard of Fibre Channel drives before, how do those compare?
<3> $$$$$$
<7> yo can't get those for normalpc's bro
<3> we talking sans
<16> flyback-: (06:32:02 PM) Inkvenom: hmm, do you think I should get WD Raptors for my server or SCSI drives?
<3> wd is crap
<17> SCSI
<17> no doubt
<7> i'd only go with ide if you run them in ide-raid config
<16> flyback-: these files are constantly being accessed
<16> http://odin.bluelaguna.net/health/eth0-3hours.png
<16> it'd be higher if I wasn't running into hard drive issues
<16> really, my biggest concern is the file server, whatever format it may be, being able to read as many different files as possible quickly
<15> Hey, guys i want buy lighting keyboard. Who can something to advise?
<3> you have more probs than just ocd flyback-
<3> hah
