I can't believe how clean the desks are on so many of the pictures being posted.

Too many way too clean desks!

I don't see the need to make a change. Not sure how updated the list is, but a 20t minimum means we would barely have a top20. 20t isn't a whole lot, but some spend thier money on quality like raiding out systems and such rather then just pure storage factor, as its generally harder to...

In my younger years I once booted my machine up with a hd on the carpet, i saw a flash of light and a small smoke cloud rise up from behind the box, needless to say that drive was done for.

Please PM with when warr expires on the HD's

Is this just the SATA model or does it support SAS also?

I've been using 15k sas drives for about a year now on my webserver, they are sweet

I got 2x256 somewhere maybe even 4x256. Ill dig through since i might have a 2x512. I know I have some ECCREG-PC133 512mb
