You want to know what is going to happen in five years? You're going to be sharing a cell with a hippie pot smoker, and a first degree murderer. You sold illegal computer hardware, the hippie smoked a joint in public, and the murderer killed five people. The scary thing is, the murderer is...
I think people are missing the point. This is not just about computers. If you read it, it applies to every digital device. We're talking about mandatory copy protection in pocket calculators, digital answering machines, cell phones, microwaves. Basically anything with a chip in it. This is...
What? Scarpozzi, you have no idea what you are talking about. How about we try a couple of real reasons...
1. If you don't stay over the middle of the ski, there isn't much behind you. You get in the backseat, and you're in big trouble. Slalom skis used to be a lot longer behind the ski...
I wish people wouldn't talk out of their ass so much. As it has been pointed out by a few smart people, if you've ever used Photoshop, 256 is not going to cut it.
Does your buddy really need a 1.4tbird? Nope, he could get along fine with a slower Duron. Do you see where I'm going with this?
I went from a Delta screamer to an Alpha 8045 with a Panaflo, and the difference is huge. Now there is a quiet background hum. With the Delta in there it sounded like a fricking wind tunnel. Temps went noticeably down too.
The Seagate is so quiet you won't know that it is there. I have a new Maxtor with the fluid bearings, and I can hear it every once in a while. The Seagate is silent, for all intents and purposes.
It's not that bad. I've got one on my wife's computer. It's not nearly as heavy as an Alpha, so I don't think you've got much to worry about. I am going to stick a panaflo on there though, the stock fan is too noisy.
Look at it this way...it doesn't take much for some dumbass kid to forget to put a heatsink on his processor, fry the whole thing, and then have a his leet friends post "reviews". Take them with a grain of salt, or don't read them at all. Nobody is making you :)
How is this even considered a credible source? bjorn3d?
You obviously never had a Rendition video card. These guys were around at about the same time as Tom's Hardware, if I recall correctly. I didn't even know they were still around. I stopped going there when they switched over to mostly...
My friend, you need a Seagate. The Barracuda IV is silent. Seriously. You will not hear it over your power supply fan. And you don't have to settle for a slow 5400RPM drive.
They are kinda like the 60mm delta fans in reverse. No one ever believes how loud they are until they have one...
I'm glad everything worked out for you. It took balls to come pack and edit your post. Next time look before you leap though :)
If you're looking for a new harddrive, the new Seagates are sweet. What are you going to go with?
