i upgraded due to heat and power consumption

from what it looks like, prices ARE going down, little by little... I bought a seagate barracuda lp 2tb last week for 69.99, i'm just keeping my eyes open for similar deals and checking them out when I receive them.

I regret not buying more 2tb's in June 2011 when they were $59.99 out the door at my local Micro Center. I picked up two in hopes that for Black Friday I'd be able to snag them at $49.99. BOY was I wrong. I'm lucky to find one at $119.99 right now. ... guess I just have to wait til prices go...

free bump, price on HD's is tempting...

NICE FIND, sorry to hear about your friend.

great thread

sell everything separate... that's what I've done and seems to be yielding better results ($$$)

I have this card, stock, what benefits can I get from flashing that firmware? I've heard it mentioned A LOT

antec 300 with a core2duo build would be great for you, and cheap. would be plenty for a file server.

I very much hope so...

I was locked into my previous speed of 20/5 since 2004, I was paying $39.99... I just recently upgraded to 50/20 and am paying $94.99, I needed the extra speed but call them up and have them upgrade you to the other plan... might as well get the most speeds for your money.

oh ok... I decided I'm just going to buy all the drives I need and set up the raid array at once instead of trying to expand it overtime... I have 20 bays free so I was going to do TWO (2) RAID6 Arrays with 10 x 2tb in each.

like ckryan said, very cool for those who like to hide all their wires...

what browser are you using? is your flash player up to date? also it might be your codecs? i recommend you use VLC for video playback.

im looking into flexraid, thanks for the recommendations guys... I was also thinking instead of redoing this and taking days of downtime maybe i should just upgrade the processor to a q6600 or something to solve my encoding/transcoding issues
