anyone know where to get an app to control acoustic levels for Maxtors = SATA line of drives? --=20 Remove X_ in address to reply

I'm trying to find info on how Raid 5 works *in the case of 3 data drives + 1 parity*. I understand how exor'ing 2 data would yield a parity bit, but the 3data/1parity algorithm eludes me. I can't think of how you'd have enough info to recover, even if there were such a thing as a 3-input Exor....

I occasionally hear a drive sound like it's going offline and back online in one of the systems nearby. Problem is, I can't tell which computer, drive, or power cable is the culprit. Event viewer has no clues. Is there a monitoring utility that will catch this?

To my knowldege, there are still 3 major players in drive imaging: Drive Image, Ghost and Acronis. Since the first two seem to be in a state of flux, I thought Acronis would be the best bet. Their simple, directl layouts general present things in a way that can be understood in the context of the...

Any idea when laptop drives will exceed 100GB?

Anyone have recommendations for reliable IDE cards? I'm looking to replace my Promise controllers due to annoying errors posting as system events every hour. (Time sync error or whatever. It's a known problem with Promise controllers) Lately I've been getting the above error along with a second...

Has anyone noticed any compelling reasons to use one or the other of these cards? Subjective opinions on whether the 133Mhz is a benefit over 100Mhz? Problems with either?

Different question from the last re 133 vs 100: Any idea what sets these cards apart? It appears that Maxtor OEM's the promise 133 and 100 series. They appear identical, though I'm sure there may be subtle differences. I've heard mixed opinions on whether BIOS's and/or drivers are compatible. ...

I need a PCI ATA controller for a couple systems with extra drives. Any recommendations for brands with reliable hardware and drivers?

I'm currently using Syba 4-port SATA (I, not II) controllers. They're picky about which card slot they're installed in. Not sure if this is normal, but I'd like to find new controllers that are less touchy. May as well go for Sata II, though I've heard there isn't much actual speed...

Any opinions on reliable USB 2.0 drive enclosures? Thanks

I replaced two problematic Promise ATA controllers with Adaptec ASH-1233 controllers, hoping to avoid the glitches inherent to Promise (Promise tech support calls these 'cosmetic errors'). Unfortunately, I've had a different set of problems with the Adaptec. It uses Silicon Image chipset, and...

I used to think that Adaptec was the standard for controllers, etc. Just about anything associated with disk drives. At least they're used a lot, so the beta testing is usually done by the time I buy something. Unfortunately I've had bad luck with their USB controllers. Had been using he combo...

Im buying a new hdd within the next few days, i remember someone once benchmarking 2 ATA100's raid 0 to an ATA133 and the ATA133 came out on top, what im asking is will this be true of SATA as well? Should i buy a SATA 120GB maxtor or another ATA133 120GB maxtor and put them in raid 0 Any ideas...

I've got a 80Gb WD Harddrive which has disappeared from Windows XP. It shows up in BIOS, but not in Windows. It is viewable in Device Manager, but there's no sign of it in Disk Management (Administrative Tools - Computer Management). I've tried Easy Recovery Pro and the trial version...

We inherited a customer who has a single P4 1GHz server with 512MB RAM containing two hard drives, not mirrored or RAID. Both drives are running in PIO mode for some reason and the customer is continually complaining of speed problems. I can't find any comparative benchmarks between PIO and UDMA...

I also have the USB2 Maxtor 3000LE external. My Windows XP machine can handle 300 gig drives... but when I try to put 1 in the 3000LE case... it only sees 137gig. Did you have to do anything special to get yours to work? Where did you see that chipset... and part #? I don't see anything that...

I've been using ghost to create and restore ghost images from one pc to another via a USB cable and using ghost boot disks with usb support. I'd like to switch to Drive Image 7 to accomplish the same task. I can't find anything in their documentation or website to indicate that they support this....
