Working on making a dual boot again, WinXP & Ubuntu by

a database server, running PostgreSQL (version 7.4, most

StarTech ATA-100 cables any good? by
Will Dormann
Tony wrote:
I need a 24" cable and I can get a StarTech round for a good price. Any
signal integrity issues with this brand (since they are so cheap)?
Round cables are a bad idea. Cables over 18" are also a bad idea.
Combine the two, and you're just asking for trouble.
