Hard disk problem

Re: Hard disk problem

these came from a guy at the flea market that got them at a police auction.
they were in hpq trays.
i used the drives in my array and sold the empty trays for twice what i paid for the drives.
funny how that works.

Nice!

I love police and state auctions! I've picked up so much good shit at them!!

Aww man, now you made me real jelous...

Running my all new Xeon rig with an old poor 10k RPM Compaq 19GB SCSI drive is not "the way it's supposed to be" :P

Good lord no! I phased out all my 18.2 giggers over a year ago. I've got big box full out in the shop. I'm still running a pair of 18gb scsi320's running in a 36gb RAID0 on my system, lets see any SATA raid touch this The controller has 128mb of cache on it, and the HDD's have 8mb each as well. It rips the strip!!

9 and 18gb drives get put into desktop duty here.
and those old 10k drives will still stomp a raptor anyday!try playing a dvd .vob,ripping a mp3,,and websurfing on a p4 3.0 with ide.
i do more than that on an old vp6 with a cheetah x15 on a 2940u2w and dont have any problem.tha guy who worked for the store had a p4 3.0 that couldnt do half what mine could .told him the best thing was the mobo,procs,and ram was free! had to install a handfull of caps.
