Anything available to recover from an error - drive was formatted by mistake. HB

This device is a sort of small HDD in your hand but it could be better if somehow fitted it with the cellphone, as it will not be hassle free to carry two devices(cellphone and BluOnyx).

Here's a Maxtor 200GB SATA/150 HD that should have been RMA'ed. Maxtor wouldn't RMA it because it was supplied as a Sony Desktop PC component (OEM HD). But doing a low-level format gives the illusion that the drive is now OK. EVEREST reported: ID Attribute...

Assuming an external USB hard drive is connected and powered up, does usage have anything to do with wear and heat? I ask because I have one and I play my music from it for long periods of time. The drive gets pretty warm. Is that a concern? If I were using the drive to say access financial...

Hi, It seems that everytime i'm working wireless on my laptop, the file i need is on a usb drive somewhere in the house so i can't get to it. In other words: i'd really love to have a NAS solution. Of course, i'm dreaming of a 2TB NAS device to which i can hook up my existing usb drives,...

How do I use the Properties of HD to figure out the physical location of the HD? The primary and secondary channels from the motherboard are not hard to figure out. Such as: Onboard Primary ATA Channel Maxtor 6L060J3: Location 0 (Primary ATA Channel) WDC WD600BB-75CAA0: Location 1 (Primary ATA...

Hi, I'm wondering if there are any differences among 2.5" HDD ribbon cables? Compared to their desktop variants, these cables are 2mm pitch instead of 2.54mm pitch, and 44pin rather than 40pin. However, I'm not sure if there are the 88 conductor cables for UDMA modes 4 and above(since 40pin IDE...

I am interested in setting up a triple-mirrored RAID 1 setup in a Linux environment. I know that eSATA cards such as the SIL3114r support RAID 1 in hardware. However, I do not know if their BIOS supports triple- mirroring. Failing that, can I safely assume that Linux software RAID...

I have tried USB 2.0 and it is just too slow - much slower than my internal IDE drives. My case is full - so I would like to buy an 18" round IDE cable, and run the cable out my case and to an enclosure. The problem is - all I can find is USB and Firewire. Does anyone know where I might find an...

I used a fast 7200 RMP Maxtor, and it was slow as molasses. ANyone else had similar experiences? I used one of the USB-to-IDE kits that comes with a USB cable with IDE on the other end, and a power supply for your drive - not an enclosure.

I am attempting to repair a Lacie 2TB external storage unit. It contains 4 x Hitachi 'Deskstar' 500Gb drives, apparently in a Raid0(?) array. I have been told by the LAcie service dept that two of my drives are faulty. So I am testing the individual drives by plugging them into my slave IDE...

Greetings all, We are using CompactFlash disks here, various brands, currently Apacer. We find that the drive geometry varies even for the same make and model - e.g. a single batch of Apacer 256M has two different geometries : Cyl 980; T/Cyl 16; S/T 32; B/S 512 (501760 sectors) and Cyl 31;...

Hi, I'd like to know if hard drives spin up upon receiving power, or only when the IDE reset signal becomes high?

System is ASUS ASN-SLI Deluxe ATHLON64 2 SATA drives on C+D I am _trying_ to retrieve information from a WD 313600. It is connected to the IDE slot on the board and Windows recognizes it as a PNP and it shows in Device Manager, says it is working properly and also says that the driver is the...
