i choose ide because its an older computer and it lacks sata support. Now you guys got me thinking, my main rig uses IDE as well but i have sata drivers on board. I might actually replace those aging ide drives and drop in 2 of the WD 640AAKS mentioned above into my main rig. Then i would take...
I am replacing a full 80gb HD on my dedicated torrentbox. I'm thinking about getting a 500 GB drive because they seem to be the best value for the storage.
This comp runs 24/7 so I'm thinking about energy and wear here. I also want a quiet drive and fast read/write.
I'm wondering which...
Update:
Repair shop guy had a look for $20 and said that the mobo was basically junk. and would need to be replaced.
Looks like I should just sell the thing for parts.

Do I buy one stick more? will...
Thanks for all the help guys, I guess I better take this one to the repair shop.
At least i know there is nothing I can do about this software wise (I'm not about to take apart a thinkpad).
It must be the motherboard or the graphics chip, because I've tried using the External monitor option...
Well, i pulled the hard drive and i get the same thing. Bootup shortcuts don't work. It seems after trying the f11 and f8 options during bootup i was unable to return to these menus.
You could be right about the failing motherboard, but at this point I just don't know. Guess I'll try a boot...

Been looking at 500gb USB externals for exactly the same reasons (backups, etc.)
I've been deliberating over this for a few days.
LaCie vs. Fantom Titanium II vs. My Book Essential vs. build own
Also worried about drive failures.
Any input to help...
I have this same problem. My system has been fine for about a year, a few times it woulden't boot the first time around, the monitor's LED would just go to idle mode and no picture would show. The system would just sit there fans spinning but nothing else.
Recently I tried to boot up and...
I dont believe this story, he's way too coy about the way he tells it. I mean seriously, what kind of gangbanger gets in gang fights then posts to anandtech forums?
