Asimov Posts: 104041 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time Online	Yea, I used to love seagate, but heard quite a few bad things about them lately (particularly being slow) Would be a good backup drive though - something where speed doesn't matter. Not a refurb either - it's new. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money. Especially what I say.

Genesis Posts: 130775 Incept: 2007-06-26	I've been very happy with Hitachi in the larger capacity disks for the last few years. Zero failures. WDs have been troublesome of late -- there are some bad firmware loads out there in the wild, and if you get one you're in trouble. The Colo machine has had SEVERAL faults over the last year with these ***ers -- I think I finally have all stable firmware revs in there, but it took a while. Good thing I have a nice RAID controller in there eh? I've also got some of the smaller Seagate's (~300gb) that are in a complex RAID array box here that are slowly going into the trashcan as they fault out. The biggest problem I've got with the larger Seagates is that they're slow. The 2TB 5xxx RPM drives are particularly slow, but they're stable -- I've got a few in service around here and haven't had one puke yet -- they're ok as backup drives but I wouldn't use them where you care about I/O performance. The 7200 RPM Seagate units are nice but I still prefer the Hitachi's at present. It's not a strong preference though -- as long as they're both 7200 RPM whichever is cheaper I'll go for. ---------- I don't care if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2012-04-02 08:36:39 Permalink

I really need more storage, but that money thing kinda puts a crimp in it. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Asimov Posts: 104041 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time Online	Ok, something special, but I'm afraid it's first come, first served. Please don't ask for it if you don't plan to use it. $20 off a $200 or more order from tigerdirect.com. First person to PM me and ask for the url gets it. (It can only be used once and karl's url testing would screw it up if posted publicly.) It's good only through April 17th, 2012 at 11:59PM ET. I have no intentions of buying anything anytime soon so there's no point in letting it go to waste. Again, please don't ask for it if you're not going to actually use it - but if you will use it, feel free. I'll post here if somebody takes it. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money.

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx Online	Williams-Sonoma has a Shun vegetable knife on sale for $100. Depending on where you look, that's discounted at least 38%. The cheapest I could find this anywhere else was $160. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/.... I went by my local store and they had one left. It is very well constructed and the core of the blade is made of VG-10 steel. The spine is fairly thick and the blade does not flex. It is ground and has a bulge in the handle for right-handed use.

Jotapay Posts: 16733 Incept: 2008-08-26 Austin, Tx Online	It seemed a little expensive to me at first, but with so much VG-10 steel in it and seeing how well it's made, I'm happy with it now. 2012-05-09 23:12:36 Permalink

Obsidian Posts: 2448 Incept: 2008-10-10 Eagle Mountain, Utah	Acronis 2012 at $0 is still not (and never will be) worth it. It is a complete piece of ***. The one thing I needed it to do was to xfer an image from a HDD to an SSD. I had to fight it for 4+ hours before it would finally complete. ---------- 232-Th + n --> 233-Th --> 233-Pa --> 233-U.
