It’s actually a 15 drive machine…

I really like it. I’ll have the new article on it posted soon…. building that machine was nice. That case is really great, well engineered.

We’re using it with one (for now) 8 port sata Promise FastTrak SX8300 controller.

What case are you putting 16 drives in? I am looking for something like that for work.

oh god not the maxtors, I wouldn’t put that picture up if I were you. I don’t envy you for having those maxtors, its more of pity. I spend years replacing every maxtor I own (bought them way back then before I knew better) with Seagates, and you went and bought new maxtors. tisk tisk…

The only data I would but on a maxtor is maybe my browser cache…. maybe. Have fun when they start clicking.

You should have used the new Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB hard drive. It uses the new perpendicular recording that allows greater areal density and is about as fast as 10K rpm Raptor drive. I sell them all day long at $419.99.
Faster, bigger and “not” Maxtor. This is my next drive to handle the 8.25GB 1 hour HD files I record over the air with my ATI HDTV card.

PS – I cand now Snipstream them as much as 50% which allows me to wait before I have to buy another drive.

I dunno… do you really think that your 1950 is faster than a dual-dual HP DL145 G2?

I’d be happy to benchmark against it.

You know I enjoyed it as well [yea yea besides the whole craxtor drives part]. I love behind the scenes anything. I thought I noticed some pickup on the last updates. Enjoy the new hardware.

lol, yah, the maxtor drives were a topic of much debate on the drive over to Fry’s Electronics to buy those four you see there. We pray they don’t all spontaneously explode one day, but they had a price we just couldn’t pass up.
