I have it at work and home. You can remove one of the arms if you only want to use it for one monitor.
I just got 2x 2tb Samsung F4 drives in today. I'll try them out.
Just to clarify, I'm booting freeNAS (linux) from a compact flash and then mounting the SATA drive.
IDE. Yes, one drive was from an AHCI enabled computer, but I don't think that would effect boot. I went back to the original configuration, but it will not get past the POST screen with the SATA drive connected. I think the SATA controller may be messed up :|
SATA 150
It was working fine...
This is on a Shuttle SB61G2 I was using as a freeNAS server. It was working fine with one SATA drive attached. I powered it down to connect a second one and copy the data over. Ever since then, it will detect the SATA drives present but hang at this point:
I can boot fine to an IDE drive...
Looking for a minimalist microATX case. I have a full-size heatsink , video card and normal ATX power supply. 120mm fans are a plus, but 80mm would be ok. All I need is one 3.5" or 2.5" bay (internal), no 5.25" bays.
Just seeing if there is anything out there that is like my current case...
Yes, I should have clarified, I'm using this for a desktop. The other options are one of the Samsung drives.
Another thing to take into consideration is that I'm running XP, not Windows 7.
Anyone with firsthand experience of this drive in day-to-day use?
I primarily use my computer for web browsing, media, and running a virtual machine once in a while. I need more space than what I can justify spending on a SSD, and this drive seems like a good compromise.
Well, I tried it out. Temperatures are exactly the same as with Arctic Silver 2. I haven't tried to pull the heatsink off the chip, but from what I've seen of the dried copper compound, its still soft and scrapes away easily.
