Heya, I'm trying to decide which HDD to relace my aging 12x1.5GB (16.5TB usable space) RAID 5 array with. I've got two drives with SMART errors and a third one failing - and I'm down to one spare. Drives are Seagate 7200.11. I'd like to replace these with 4TB drives. My options seem to...

Hi, Looking at the MBP spec'd with the 1920x1200 display... few questions... Firstly, how is the screen? Blacklight, viewing angle, colour representation? I do a lot of photography so this is very important. Secondly, how well does the battery life fare with the screen brightness down...

Hi, Just got a RAID going with some 7200.11 drives on my RAIDcore. Both ATTO and HD tach reflect the same issues and would explain why an array expansion from 3 to 4 drives is going to take 91 hours...: Using a small data/block size in ATTO yields a 500MB(!)/sec read however as soon...

Hi, I have the above motherboard - the ASUS P5E WS Professional which uses the Marvell SATA controller for the two additional motherboard ports and two external eSATA ports. The problem lies where I can't safely remove anything on the eSATA as it doesn't come up in Windows as hot...

Hi, I finally received my 3007WFP-HC (secondhand) however I am questioning the colour accuracy of the panel. The backlight seems a bit reddish to me and the colurs all seem a bit 'strong', I remember reading something abotu this being common on wide gamut displays. I remember using a...

As per title, I'm looking for a system that can drive a Dell 30" at its native resolution. I'd go a MacBook Pro for this one but the person who'll be using it is unfortunately anti-Mac. Is there anything else out there that'll do it? I was under the impression that all nVidia 7000 series...

As per title. How's the lag thing treating us these days? I got burned with a 2405 and had to send it back due to lag. Bugs the hell out of me. I have a thing for the S-IPS panels and find them nice on the eyes but the tech is way too old right now (and the current gen 23" S-IPS tend to go...

As per title. I currently use a Sony G520. I had a Dell 2405FPW for a short while - I noticed the lag straight out of the box, so it went back to Dell for a full refund. I liked the size, but found the screen a bit bright for me, plus I could feel the heat it was belting out in my face...

Title says it all. I owned an A01 last year which I sent back for a refund due to the input lag. Just wondering whether the A06 revision has the same problem?

Yep. It's a weird one. Whenever my card does a bit of I/O or I have a failed disk, the PS/2 mouse will cease to work. Sometimes it'll come back after a while but other times it requires a reboot. USB mice are unaffected. I had this issue on my old Gigabyte 7NNXP and assumed it was the...

All, As per title, I wish to build a Xeon system based on the i7525 Tyan board in a V1200B Lian Li case. This is similar to the V2000 cases but not as high (but still E-ATX) Now mounting the board isn't an issue. As for the coolers, there are appropriate holes in the case for standoff...

Yep. I went for the Opteron route and am impressed so far - only thing I miss is the lack of PATA ports (only one!) as I have three HDDs I cannot connect anywhere but they're 80GB drives which really should be migrated to the RAIDcore anyway. Now I need to cool them quietely. I currently...

Ok, I'm considering either the Tyan Thunder i7525 or Tyan K8WE. I'll be mounting this in a Lian Li V2000B - I have a strong preference towards the Xeons due to price however: 1. Can I mount a Xeon board in my case? 2. How can I cool the processors quitely without modifications to the case...

Howdy all, As per topic, I'm trying to decide between RAID controllers and I want to know whether the AU$120 difference between the HPT and the RAIDcore is worth it. The HPT supports NCQ but I don't believe the RAIDcore does. I'll be hooking up some Maxtor Maxline II drives to it (but I...
