Hard Drive Questions (SATA/IDE/BLAH)

Case 38 C
CPU 46 C

or----

Case 100 F
CPU 113 F


how is that?

edit, i dont know how to tell each hd's temp :(
 
hard drive... you need hard drive. it's in the options somewhere to detect the ide drives

k wait, found 2 ide hd (cant find third)

1 - 30 C
2 - 42 C

edit: found 3rd

3 - 37 C


k... so now what :(

p.s. i love you and your volvo
 
I've just dropped in here to say that RAID in a non-server/workstation environment is worthless. As was said, unless your data is absolutely priceless and you can't be bothered to back it up to CD or DVD, then you're not going to see any benefit from running it. Anyone who tells you Raid 0 is considerably faster is full of shit.
 
I'm not exactly sure what you need more, space or size, but there isn't an easy trade-off. Some myths to dispell:

a) You won't notice a major speed difference in a RAID0 array. There are plenty of real-world (not synthetic) benchmarks that show speed increases are minimal.

b) You won't notice any speed difference in a SATA drive. Sure the bandwidth is expanded to 150MB/s, but no drive can write that fast anyway.

If you want the benefits of both speed and size, get yourself a 36 or 72GB WD Raptor (10k RPM) and use that as your primary OS drive. Install Windows and all your programs there. Then buy yourself as many 300GB+ drives as you feel necessary. Speed obviously won't be an issue since they're storage drives, so don't worry whether or not they're PATA or SATA.

/me recoils in horror. What, loose even a minute of my beloved Bride of the Burro volumes 1 through 40? Or ten years of Mexican Trany vs Thai Ladyboy Kickboxing world championship bouts?

Philistine.

raid is a huge fucking waste of fucking time and hds

unless your data is fucking worth gold and you cannot lose your data for some fucking reason, raid aint worth the hds

raid 0 is a waste cause if one hd blows, you lose everything on the raid

It's frustrating. It seems like you should be able to have the operating system aggressivly cache hard drive data into RAM so things like load times for my favorite game are instantaneous.

It seems like the common current generation motherboards can take 4 gig of RAM, 3.5 of which could be productivly used to speed up level loads.

ramdrive if you have 4gb of ram precious.

I have that same motherboard, 2 SATA raptors, and 2 IDE harddrives. I haven't had a single problem with that setup.

Just know that you'll need the raid drivers from the mobo CD in order to get sata drives working even if they're not on a raid setup.

I've also got a question I've been wondering about for a while. When I setup my raid 0 array, and formatted the resulting disk, it took about 2 seconds to do. I put a SATA drive in a computer I built for my parents a few months back and it also took only 2 seconds to format. Is this just a function of the drive being SATA or newer HD technology?

Quick format does not go through the drive to check for bad sectors or anything bad on the drive, its an assumption that the drive is good. When i get a new drive i always put it through the long ass format the first time i format, every other time its Quick format

Rich, i have same board remember... i have 5 hard drives, 2 SATA 80GB Hitachi's in RAID-0, WD 250GB IDE, WD 180GB IDE, WD 120GIG IDE
 
dont buy a maxtor

my motherboard is currently telling me "warning drive failure imminent on Maxtor (insert model # here)

As I remember it using a ramdrive means I'd have to install the game to the RAMDRIVE, hope it all fits into the 3.5 gig available, plus remember to back it up to the real hard drive for restoration later after the system's been turned off.

It's too much like work.

I think hes talking about the hard drive thing that makes a hard drive out of up to 4gb of RAM sticks
