This week (Apr 23 - Apr 29) Circuit City is offering a Seagate ST310011ARK
(100GB, 7200 RPM, 2MB cache, PATA) HDD for $40 after rebate. The ST310011ARK
is a 7200.7 model.
This seems like it might be useful as a second HDD for my six year old Dell

Looking at adding another one to my current Pioneer 109,
mainly so I have one in each of the main PCs.
Makes sense to have more than one brand/model.

I just bought a Dell which came with a SATA hard-drive. I want to put
my old IDE hard drive into it as a secondary drive, but the connections
don't match. Do I need to get a simple IDE-SATA converter (like the one

This is an alert to the community I felt compelled to share based on my
recent experience with Adaptec's SNAP Servers.  We had a simple plan:
to back up one SNAP to another using the S2S replication software
allegedly designed for this purpose.  After spending over $1000 on the

I apologize in advance for the cross-post as well as the length of the post;
I have previously posted this in an ASUS group and have contacted the
various suppliers involved, but I screwed around with this issue for better

I have a C++ program (console shell)  that runs on a linux system (bash) and
on win32.  Ansi escape code work fine for cursor positioning on bash.  I

the debugger or the IDE?

Appreciate any pointers on these questions, thanks...
Was going to use one of the usb 2 ide cables or maybe even an external
usb 2 ide enclosure for frequent backups from an external ide drive.
It looks like I'm going to need drivers to get 98se to properly use an

On an NTFS partition, I deleted some files accidentally (Shift +
Delete, skipping the Recycle Bin), and cancelled midway of complete

We're running out of space on our current DLT1 and DLT4000 tape

I've been noticing that newer Adaptec RAID controllers no longer have drive
LED connectors on board, which seems stupid to me.
For example, the 2410 SATA RAID controller, and the 2130 SCSI RAID
controller.

Does anyone have any experience with this drive?
I have a basic question which may pertain to any network drive of this
type...
My home wirless network is an encrypted one (WEP). We have 4 computers that

I have a 74GB SATA Raptor that I am trying to reformat. I unplugged m
other harddrive and put in the XP CD. When XP CD was starting up,

Am I better off installing windows on a 4GB usb 2.0 flash drive than I
am installing it on (any) IDE drive?  I heard they're 3x faster than

If so, which 4gb+ usb 2 drives are the fastest?
