arg! a 500GB just went up in smoke on me[views:2624][posts:47]_______________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 12:55pm - the_reverend ""] I was in the process of backing things up from it.. like all my RTTP shows and a ton of other things. almost nothing copied off of it and then it started to smoke! the worst thing is that the other drive that I could have replaced the burnt up part from... well.. I just sent it in to get replaced last week! arg! I hope they send back the same exact drive back to me. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 1:35pm - the_reverend ""] ok, the controller board for my new maxtor fits perfectly.. slightly different part number, but the drives are identical. think it'll work? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 1:49pm - handinjury ""] Tis the season for dieing hard drives. My laptop's harddrive is done. Which kinda sucks because I spent 3 months configuring the laptop for mobile audio use. Ironically the church gig was the last time I really used it. I guess once I got the lords chants on my hard drive it killed it. My internet pc is acting like whore, Its either the hard drive or the power supply. The power supply is only 1.5yrs old, so I am leaning towards the hard drive. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 2:02pm - the_reverend ""] I've had sooo many hard drives die on me you would think I would be used to it by now. I need to back up even more aggressively I guess... just need to get this friggin data off. |
| ____________________________ [Nov 10,2007 4:57pm - Uh ""] raid dat shit, nigga |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 4:58pm - the_reverend ""] USB RAIDs are $$$ |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 5:29pm - Dertoxianli ""] seagate has drive recovery services. a 500GB would be in the $1500 range though. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 10,2007 5:37pm - the_reverend ""] gay. I just sent them a drive that died a few months ago too. I'm going to try to swap the controller board with the other drive I found. if that works, I will copy everything off of it and then wipe and RMA the drive. |
| ____________________________ [Nov 11,2007 1:21pm - Uh ""] no sata raid? what are you? 1994 or something? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 1:30pm - the_reverend ""] I don't know how I would hook a SATA RAID up to a laptop without a pc express card. BTW: SATA was invented in 2003 |
| ____________________________ [Nov 11,2007 1:48pm - Uh ""] Man.... you're playin' around with TB's of data with a laptop? I thought you'd have some mean server or something. I wanna get a big box and fill it with hdds and get a gbit lan going w/ redundant epenis installed. the_reverend said:BTW: SATA was invented in 2003 Okay. That confirms that we didn't have SATA in 1994. :spineyes: |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 2:09pm - the_reverend ""] these tb's are just storage. I don't want to put them in a machine cause then I would leave them on 24-7 when I don't access these except to dump data on them once or twice a week. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 6:48pm - NIGGER ""] BURNT DRIVE = NOW IT'S BLACK IMPROVEMENT |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 9:00pm - the_reverend ""] I swapped the controller board with another drive and I'm backing it up right now. once it's done, I'll try to low level format it and then send it back to seagate. drive #2 this month that I've had to send back to them. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 9:00pm - the_reverend ""] I'm thinking of making a USB RAID solution. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 10:08pm - Dertoxianli ""] dont go usb. i'm pretty sure you can get eSATA cards for laptops. 3GB/s >>>>>>> 25MB/s |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 11,2007 10:14pm - the_reverend ""] eSATA are pc express. I don't have pc express. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 12:45am - Dertoxianli ""] it sounds like you need a drobo http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...ils.asp?EdpNo=3143432&Sku=D162-1000 |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 12:47am - the_reverend ""] sounds like I need a money tree. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 12:55am - the_reverend ""] the_reverend said:eSATA are pc express. I don't have pc express. card bus or whatever. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 12:58am - Dertoxianli ""] well the Drobo is pretty new. They're going to be coming out with one that has networking soon. I'm sure the price will drop and you'll be able to find a drobo bundled with the drives for about that price. The beauty of drobo is you don't have to worry about setting up raid at all and you still have full data security. You could pull a drive right out while it's running and it would replicate that data onto another drive in the background and you wouldnt lose access to any of your data while this goes on. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 1:13am - the_reverend ""] yeah, that rules. I just got all my data off that drive that burnt. now I can RMA it tomorrow. cunts. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 1:13am - the_reverend ""] I think it's warranty lasts until 2011. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 1:37am - sxealex ""] i need to back up some stuff my new wd drive is hot to the touch... all my maxtor drives run cool |
| _________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 1:50am - sxealex ""] wtf that drobo is kinda a waste of money.... i mean u can do that with raid and shit its way cheaper than 500 billz. plus it comes with no space! |
| _________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 1:51am - sxealex ""] and it says mucking around with raid???? on os x u can just click software raid on drives... wtf? |
| _________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 1:53am - sxealex ""] although im sure having a controller would be better |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 7:42am - the_reverend ""] you can do software raid in windows too... DON'T DO IT. you will only be able to view them on that computer in the same orde/setup. I had a huge issue when I switched up computers. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 7:56am - the_reverend ""] oh and what are you comparing your hd temp to? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 9:47am - the_reverend ""] FU seagate, my original 500GB that I have a delivered tracking number for they are claiming that they didn't get! |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 9:52am - porphyria ""] I just bought this motherhumper to put my photos on Iomega 1.5TB eSATA and USB 2.0 UltraMax Pro External Hard Drive - RAID http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/5169...mega_33744_1_5TB_eSATA_and_USB.html |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 9:53am - porphyria ""] hopefully it doesn't suck, I haven't purchased anything from Iomega since the Zip100 days. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 10:02am - the_reverend ""] tom: One year warranty no thank you. I always get 3-5 year warranties. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 10:08am - the_reverend ""] HA! someone from work just came up to me talking about hard drives and the first words out of his mouth "I looked at all the drives and western digital mybooks and iomegas sucked so I got maxtors" |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 10:10am - porphyria ""] the_reverend said:tom: One year warranty no thank you. I always get 3-5 year warranties. I know, but it's the only external raid drive I found that had eSATA and the amount of space I was looking for. I've never had a drive die on me so hopefully the good luck continues. I have an 80gb maxtor from 2001 which is always spinning that still works great. Even if it does die, all my stuff will be raid 1. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 10:21am - the_reverend ""] I've had sooooo many drives die on me now. so so so so many. I need to buy 2 more 500's. $200 verse $1500 recovery cost. it's a no brainer. I wish that 1TB hard drives would come down in price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148278 granted, I spent that much for an 8GB in the 90's. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 10:23am - porphyria ""] btw, a lot of the maxtor and wd high capacity external drives are 1-year warranty as well. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 11:13am - the_reverend ""] funny, that 1TB I just linked says Pros: Enormous drive, very quiet, low heat, 5 Yr Warranty. Professional version, not WD gamer kind ! put that in an external case and bang, 5 year warranty. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 11:22am - porphyria ""] yeah, it's one seagate drive, internal. I was just pointing out that the external WD's and Maxtors are 1 year warranty as well.... probably because they think people are going to be moving them all over the place. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 12,2007 12:13pm - Dertoxianli ""] sxealex said:wtf that drobo is kinda a waste of money.... i mean u can do that with raid and shit its way cheaper than 500 billz. plus it comes with no space! yeah but with raid you're limited to how many drives, type, and size depending on what raid flavor you go with. With drobo you can pop in any drive of any size and it will work. All the data security is done by the drobo software. I know that a friend of mine has one of the earlier drobo's. He had a drive that was on it's last legs. It kept crashing and telling him the drive was unformatted and then after a restart it would work again. So he knew it was ready to die. It was a 60GB. He popped it in the drobo with a 160 and in about an hour all his data was backed up to the other drive and he could pull out the 60GB and toss it. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2007 10:23am - the_reverend ""] $5.mo is amazing. I might seriously look into that. DYA: those look like SCSI, not IDE or SATA |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 3,2007 3:38pm - the_reverend ""] I just got drive #1 back (drive #2 is coming on the 5th). I sent in a 7200.1 or 7200.9 drive and got back a 7200.10 drive! |
