    Hi all..

     

    I recently acquired a 1 TB 7200.11. ST31000340A8.

     

    It was working fine until recently with a frnd of mine's system. Now i got the HDD and connected to my PC. On booting up it makes a clicking noise continuously. From what i heard the HDD is bricked or about to be bricked. Is that correct?

     

    Anything to do other than RMA ???. What is the RAM process of Seagate?

     

    Any help appreciated.

     

    *ooh i am depressed today*

    Hi all..

     

    I have 3 Internal HDD's and 2 Ext HDD's connected to my PC. A genric 450w PSU.

     

    I have few issues, Any ideas?

     

    1. During Video playback the player gets stuck and the HDD light blinks

    continously. and i have to kill the app from task manager. sometimes

    i cant access that HDD again after that and have to restart the machine

     

    2. Sometimes one of my HDD's just disappear from My computer. I have to restart my machine many time.

     

    I use Win7 and KmPlayer.

    Well...

     

    I am all into linux this time, but..

     

    I have no idea wether RAID is for me. First, I have no idea how it works. i know the theory yes though.

     

    And 30 watts power??.. Even with a twin disc setup it will go up that. i think. even if its WD Green.

     

    ION2??.. mate why going hifi over this.. all u do is turn on..it will run and u access the file...

    Hi All...

     

    I have a real big pblm...

     

    Most of my ext HDDs, other than MyBooks, are on generic ext cases.

    So sometime when booting up they wont be recognised. It will show

    a small dialog box saying to format. If i connect the HDD to my PC

    via SATA then it works ok. I guess the case is the culprit here.

     

    So i need another ext storage solution, similar to a NAS.

     

    I have abt 5 HDDs of abt 5 TB to be shared. My idea is to get a

    very low end Proccy+Mobo+Ram with a low capacity OS drive and

    install WHS in it, making it headless and connected to my router.

    Then connect the 5 HDD's via SATA. and share them.And map them to my PC's

    and laptops. Is this idea good or bad?

     

    Or is FreeNAS on a CF card is a better choice?. Anyone know whats the boot time

    will be for this thing?

     

    And the hardware.

     

    I am looking for a cheap Proccy+Mobo+Ram, but most mobos have

    very low number of SATA ports, so is getting a SATA expansion card

    good. Any models to recommend and prices?

     

    And is using a Atom board with a PCI SATA card good enough?.

    As it got only 2 SATA ports. My OS option is FreeNAS on a CF card for this.

     

    Any potential pit falls? Or any better ideas?

     

    These HDD's will be storing videos, HD and non HD...

    so the trasnfer speeds should be good enough.

     

    And i have a genric 450w PSU. I was plannign to use it with this.

    It got 4 Molex power and 1 PCIe power, will use with SATA power coneverters.

    Is this good? or which one is good enough for me.. with room for expansion.

     

    Any advices will be appreciated.

    Honestly...

     

    I never run 64bit.... Its just confuses me..

     

    I am talking from a developer perspective. the System32 and wow64 is really unnerving for me.

    But nowadays people are hung up on 64 bit... so i guess win7 64 bit is the way to go. and legacy support is there. so its all cooll...

     

    I develop my "work" on 64 bit though...

    oops.. VR is WD veloci raptor, as the OS drive... for the extra ooomph... and get the 1 TB WD Green

     

    Excellent choice for the gfx card.

     

    Hmmm.... WC ???..

     

    U do know that its not the one time thing as in air cooling...r8?.. it needs maintenance, care and what not. One of the reasons i been shying away from it for some time...though want to do it sooo bad. I think a 3rd part air cooler will do just fine... as u got A/C for 24*7. Just hit the lowest temp ur a/c can do.. think u be ok...

     

    but that case is sooo yesterday....:chucks: ... but its a fine mighty nice case... just lots of new models have come since...

    @MT...

     

    Honestly Avoid SSD's for now. not worth the money... for now... let it come to a bit more acceptable range. If u want to spend more money get a better Gfx card.. seeing that u can couple with ur 52". I am sure u can wait a minute to boot ur machine up and not gonna do any folding or number crunches r8?.

     

    Get a i7 920, X58 Giga Extreme (My pick will be Evga X58), 6 GB DDR3, 160 GB VR, 1 TB, 5970 .... money better spend.

     

    and yeah if u need cooling a Thor maybe.. and a nice case. get a Corsair modular series if u can get it... guess the one u pick is also very good enough.

    i am also considering to get earphones....do you think the sound is good enough of PL30's to hear distinct footsteps of enemies on MW2 (i also use earphones to play xbox)?

     

    i used a friends creative 630, and it was pretty good enough and was going to get that, now I am considering PL30 too...

     

    PL-11 is also very good. i been using the PL-30 for few months.. ahh its just ordinary for me atleast.
