"Two Raptors" usually means the smaller, older, LOUDER ones. The "Second Generation" 74GB ones have fluid bearings and are quiter than the 36GB versions. There is supposed to be a "Second Generation" smaller drive on the way but nobody has seen any around yet. Search on Raptor in this forum or just ...

I was looking at AOpen boards this past weekend and noticed when doing "comparisons" that only the 79D-400 MAX full size board listed "Adjustable CPU Vcore through BIOS" and "Adjustable CPU Ratio through BIOS" while other full size boards only listed the Vcore. None of the MATX boards listed either ...

All the 74 GB Raptors are Fluid Bearing but I don't think the smaller 36 GB Raptors have been changed from Ball Bearing to Fluid Bearings yet. If you can buy it, the smaller one will be BB. I recall folks saying the new smaller FB drives would be called "37" GB to seperate them from the older "36" o...

Devilsown, Have you run Maxtor's AMSet utility? It usually does a good job of reducing seek noise. As far as the temps go, how is it mounted? If you don't have metal to metal mounting (noise transfer) the temps will climb. That's why you see so many systems here with active cooling of the HDDs whic...

The first attempt was with some steel 5.25" -> 3.5" drive adaptors holding it up. I don't know if the aluminum is any cooler but it is a much neater setup and not nearly as wide as the earlier one as it now sits below the drive.Jan Kivar wrote: That sounds cool. Was 40-43°C with or without the stocks?

I find the 40 GB DM+8 in my e-mail/browser system quite silent. How hot it's running? I've seen few of these in work, and they seem to be over 40°C when hard-mounted to the case. I can only imagine the temps if the drive is sitting on a foam. :? Right now DTemp says 25 C . But that is with the 5V 8...

Just think back to the days when an upgrade from 8MB to 16MB was an expensive undertaking... How about 2MB to 4MB? Way back before some of you were born I had a 386/40 with two Meg. I had enough money for either doubling my memory to four meg or buying a 387 Math Coprocessor. I studied the thing ca...

Crucial Memory Prices +25%
Just went to Crucial.com to check on the price of PC3200 512MB and found the price had jumped from $90 to $113. Strange, just because I was planning on buying a Gig Anyone heard of a reason for this? The price of gasoline, a FAB in Japan burned, the snow in Idaho is melting?

I find the 40 GB DM+8 in my e-mail/browser system quite silent. I have run Maxtor's AMSet utility to cut the seek noise and it is mounted on aluminum channel stock sitting at the bottom of a microATX case on dense foam. Others here say their (larger) Diamond Max +9s are also silent. Others say they ...

Mike, Saw the pix in the forum and had no problem with it at all. When it showed up on the home page a day or so later it grabbed my attention but I thought it "cheapened" the look of the site somehow. Not quite sure how to say it, but there was something about it sitting there that struck me. When ...

Yes, it is a great little article. The more I read about the Mobil XP the more I think it will be a replacement for my passive PII 333. Underclock to one Gig, undervolt too. With a 5v Panaflo L1A on the heatsink who will be able to hear it from 1m away? BTW, what an ugly, anoying use of ads on that ...

If you use the Hitachi tool or Maxtor's tool AMSet to quiet the DM+9 you will have one of the quietest seeking drives around (second to the new Samsungs acording to C't). As others have said the WD had an annoying idle noise and does not quiet down much with acoustic management. Halcyon's post of th...
