    How to and what to get, Dual Gigabit ethernet card PCI x1 that can "team" ports

    Quick update, I figured out it is possible to mod a x4 pci-e card to work in a x1 slot. Since a dual gigabit card isn't likely to push over 250mb/s at most anyway, it should be find. I got a couple IBM/Intel dual port cards. Now the question is, how exactly to team them together (is this...

    How to and what to get, Dual Gigabit ethernet card PCI x1 that can "team" ports

    Very long story short of an evolution toward figuring out wth I need/want to build for a little network attached backup system, I settled on building one. The goal is to connect my main system with about 10 to 12TB of storage, to a secondary system that I want to mirror all of my data onto. I...

    How fast is Raid 0 with 5400RPM Drives?? Recommended??

    I think I pretty much agree with InvasiveDoc I would add though that the numbers for actual mb / sec you see on drives could vary vastly depending on what you are using. An old 80gb 5400 drive vs a newer 1TB 7200 drive would be night and day. Like probably around 30-40mb/s vs 120+ From my...

    Replace power button soldered to mobo on Dell Inspiron One 2305

    Thanks LTC8K6, appreciate the effort. On this system, the power button is a little odd, the actual power button, is soldered directly onto the motherboard, very uncommon. The button on the shell pushes the actual button that is on the motherboard. I don't know where those power button boards...

    Replace power button soldered to mobo on Dell Inspiron One 2305

    Just as an update. I have looked through all of Digikey & Mouser for both tactile & momentary switches, over 10000 parts and not one is the same as what I need.

    Replace power button soldered to mobo on Dell Inspiron One 2305

    I think perhaps the "motherboards" section would be more appropriate, but I've never had to delete a post before and can't figure out how to do so

    Replace power button soldered to mobo on Dell Inspiron One 2305

    I have this Dell Inspiron One 2305 that I just got, love these systems. It was left in the snow, I managed to fully get all the water cleaned out and dried up before turning in on. Problem was, my cats... One of them knocked it over in the night and busted a corner of it. Power button got...

    Dell Latitude D620 won't start.

    This is a good idea. I have done this before when I've got a nuked laptop & someone wants it fixed, or, I want to fix it up and the shell/mobo has major issues. It really does sound like you nuked the board. Usually with a cpu you can turn it on and it will run for quite a bit before it gets so...

    My apologies for lack of clarity, while I've drank a pot of coffee today, well anyway, I guess it only goes so far. Also I want to express my thanks for all the input so far, thanks everyone. I realize being succinct and getting to the point while providing enough information is generally...

    A Real Boot Program (Other than Acronis OS Selector) & Dual boot problems w 98 & XP

    That was what I was originally going to do, however, this machine is intended to be set up fairly idiot proof (including me I guess) and not require people monkeying around in the BIOS to boot one physical drive or the other. So I decided that wasn't going to be a good way to go, also I wanted...

    Attempting to try that program now, installed in XP, not sure what to do with it now though really. However, starting to read up on this, I'm not sure it's going to work and be different from everything else I've tried. " Grub4dos utilises two different methods for booting operating systems -...

    A Real Boot Program (Other than Acronis OS Selector) & Dual boot problems w 98 & XP

    Been looking for a boot load program that actually allows you to boot multiple OSes without having all of the boot sector, boot files etc exactly how they would be normally to boot anyway. For example I have tried lots of programs that were useless to me because all they do is execute the...

    Dell Mini 10 with Windows 7 clean install intriguingly slow using Firefox

    Got this netbook that has an Intel atom 1.6 Ghz processor in it. And that may be the problem in and of itself. Basically installed Windows 7 ultimate without a hitch, did all the updates, installed latest firefox (version 30 currently) & flash, then proceeded to try and watch a youtube video...

    Hooking Vid card fan to different power source other than card itself

    So I just got this nifty MSI 9800GTX+ from a gent on ebay. I opened up the package all excited to have a nice new piece of hardware but to my dismay upon visual inspection there was a problem. One of the pins of the fan header, on the back side of the board where the solder connections are...

    sick of tapes - good disk backup solution for small/medium businesses?

    You made me think about a couple things, I have no idea what you are talking about with the vsphere platform however. I thought about using the USB method, I think Kremlar did as well, but neither of us wanted to go that route as it really didn't seem like that robust/reliable of a technology...

    sick of tapes - good disk backup solution for small/medium businesses?

    Yeah, I've been working on this for a solid year now off and on, coming into it with pretty much no idea what the heck was out there, only knew exactly what my requirements were, which tied in closely with the backup software I wanted to use, I knew from the start though that I wanted fully...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    Yes, as I continued reading the entire article, i noticed that, thanks though Razel had I not seen them already, only numbers I was still curious of was that Transcend SSD you had mentioned, sustained read & write was what I was curious of, of course I'm sure seek an such is ludicrously fast...

    sick of tapes - good disk backup solution for small/medium businesses?

    I too am looking for pretty much exactly the same solution, I've been researching for a while now. We have a lot of 2U servers though, so I don't even have a 3.5" bay at my disposal. Thusly I've been trying to find something that can hook up via Esata, that is a mobile rack, like an external...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    Thanks Bruce, much appreciated honestly, however I think I'm going to amazon a few of either the Samsung or one of the WDs ( cheap freaking price compared to elsewhere and I happen to have Amazon Prime for free 2 day shipping :D ), I'm having a hard time finding MTBF numbers for each of them...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    So I guess my final question is this, which one does everyone think will live the longest, the Samsung 160, the WD 160 or the WD250? (most durable and long lived in service is what I meant by that btw)

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    After a few hours of research and looking up benches on models of parts I could find, I was loosely coming to the same conclusion, although I should note that you indeed rock Razel, lol. I found this article saying the Samsung at the time was the fastest drive out there...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    Ooh, what kind of numbers do you get out of it if you'd be so kind? And also I was rather hoping Razel would expand on all of that. Also the idea of one of the 5400 rpm drives being as fast potentially as that 7200 but with the benefit of more space for the same price. (also, i found this...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    Thank you Razel, that was exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. I figured it was highly likely that there is a 5400 rpm drive out there for teh same amount or less with more storage that would bench equivalent or better, now, the drives that I have found available for new in 7200 flavor...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    I have tried that exact same search string, actually with -sata, and it seems there are some out there that SAY they are new, but from my experience on ebay, unless I found some that were retail boxed, someone can seal just about anything and call it new, I don't want to be the rare buyer that...

    Impossible to find new 2.5" IDE 7200 rpm drives now???

    I need to find a laptop hard drive, IDE type in 7200 rpm flavor. Reason being for a speed boost on an old Inspiron 2200 for a friend. I'm trying to not spend a fortune on it, I've been able to find a ton of 5400 and also some expensive prices on 100+ gb IDE 7200 drives. (Sata 5400 drives are...

    Slow Writing/Copying to 1TB Drive

    I have an idea, if you have access to another computer or a friends, try the drive on that, I'm willing to bet it works like a charm. The issue is highly likely to be your board, if you can just get a different model of hard drive and it will probably work just fine. Thats my humble opinion...

    Slow Writing/Copying to 1TB Drive

    Dude, it's clear that your mobo or something else in your system simply hates that model of hard drive, do you honestly think you got 3 bad drives in a row? Um... no, you didn't, it just doesn't work with your system, the RMAs were unnecessary. Update your bios maybe that will help. Try a...

    External Removable Sata Drive Based

    Merlin - I thought I had read somewhere that they offered an internal version. Unfortunately the servers in each location are 2U so I wouldn't have an available 5 inch bay for them, I thought about just routing the cable outside the case and making it external anyway, but I'm sure my boss would...
