  1. I’ve been doing this for almost 8 years. Since I got my Quantum Viking II UWSCSI 9.1gig. Now I run a Quantum Atlas 10K2 SCSI160 36gig as my main drive.

    I’d highly suggest it to anybody.

  2. The best part of this post was that he talks about how the drives are expensive, and then goes on to say they are 150 to 200 dollars. It’s crazy how cheap super fast and big hard drives are now. I imagine a 9 gig SCSI hard drive was actually stupid expensive.

  3. i’m running a 150 GB western digital 10,000 raptor and a 500 GB western digital 7,200 caviar.

    they’re great.

  4. My first Quantum Viking II 9.1gig was $450-500 I think. Still worth it though. lol

    I think it’s things like that that made me totally burnt out on buying electronics anymore in general.

  5. Damn Matt that sounds pretty pimping. Your computer is space age. You need to install World of Warcraft on it.

  6. Why not just raid the storage portion, so then you’d just need the one extra drive.

  7. Unless you’re going to raid 50 or something, raid is totally pointless. Might as well use LVM which gives you flexibility in data distribution in a software raid solution (striped). Mirroring these days is so overrated.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
