bent HD pins... possible damage? by
bill
I've been swapping drives in and out so much while trying to troubleshoot a
windows failure, that I had a feeling I would damage one of them eventually.
Well I did; I slightly bent 2 or 4 of the leftmost pins on my brand new 160

Designing A File Server With Best Price Performance? by
Will
We are migrating shared files off of a Windows domain controller to a
discrete file server, and I'm thinking through what would be the best design
for that new server. Given that 64 bit operating systems are now here,
I'm thinking we do not need to spend much on fast drives, but we...

Problem Connecting HP Blade to IBM SAN by
Viper
I have been trying to connect our HP BladeSystem to our IBM SAN with no
luck. I have tried with an hp bl25p and a bl30p. Our zoning is
correct because the QLogic BIOS on these blades can see the LUN
assigned to it. However when windows is booted neither the os or the
QLogic SanSurfer sees the...

Coercivity of current HD platters? by
Nick Chalk
Does anyone have an idea of, or references for,
the coercivity of current HD platters?
I'm looking at degaussers for a charity
refurbishing/recyling project, and I've found a
wide variation in the specs of devices claimed to
be able to wipe hard disks. Before we spend UKP 1k
to 2k, I'd like to be...

Server vs. NAS Storage by
[email protected]
I am trying to think through options for a mission-critical office
requiring a storage server.
What are the differences and pros/cons of a computer/server vs. a
freestanding NAS network accessible storage device? Assume either one
will have a RAID 1 mirroring configuration.

Very Large Filesystems by

Following some research I've been doing on the matter across

numbers about real life large filesystem and their experience with
them. I'm slowly coming to a realization that regardless of
theoretical filesystem capabilities (1TB, 32TB,...

I want to build a 1.5TB storage array for MythTV by
Yeechang Lee
Recently ran into the account of a guy who built his own 1.2TB
RAID50-based storage array for $1600 (see
URL:http://www.finnie.org/terabyte/). I really like the idea and
have been thinking about following suit.
Like Finnie, I want to be able to store huge amounts of DivX/Xvid

EMC Clariion w/ SATA disks purchase advice please by

Hi,
my company is looking at using Clariion with SATA disks for research quality
storage. This means we want cheap, but still good performance. The nature of
the application is to do sequential reads of many average size 3GB flat
files, say 1TB at a time. So cache on the controller is useless. The...

Second **internal hard drive in Dell Inspiron . Possible? by
Michael
Hi,
I am not a laptop user so please bear with me when I ask this question: Is
it possible to install two hard drives internally into a Dell Inspiron 8200
laptop? It seems like there would not be room for two hard drives that are
internal.

I'm using Compaq fibre channel arrays for the hardware, and those
are fine for low-end use, but they don't have any option
