  1. I had WD wait a full month before they sent me an advanced RMA. They stated they did not have any drives that were the same size & they had to wait until they aquired more. I vented on this board when that happened a couple of years ago. Here's the link to the original post. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4485.0 Phil
  2. Damn bjp999 it looks like you must have peed in someones Cherios. I have read several threads were people were mad at you. Or at least misunderstood you. I haven't seen it that way & please don't be discourged by these people. You have always been very helpful & I hope you will continue to be into the future. Phil
  3. Not if you're me and happen to live in Delaware which has two CompUSAs and no sales tax! That'll work...
  4. CompUSA also has the same deal. If you are lucky enough to live by one of their reopened Brick & Mortar stores then you can walk in & get the same deal. No shipping that way but you will have to pay sales tax.
  5. Yowza, I feel your pain I'm only at 4 drives right now, waiting for another to come back from RMA. I have 15 total slots: 3 data, 1 parity, 1 cache (not currently using cache though). I have a long way to go. You'll get there.. lol
  6. This just plain sucks. The last 3 drives that I have purchased have been Hitachi 7200 2TB drives. Rock solid. Will be a shame to see them go.

    Ears format question

    His sig states that he is running the Plus version 4.6. Doesn't he need the jumper on the EARS drive with that version of unRAID? Is the Mac format so different that it won't mess up the drive like a Windows format could? Just wondering.. Phil
  8. I answered your question in the Good Deals forum.. The PS you asked about there is a single rail supply with 54 amp output on the single 12 volt rail..
  9. The Corsair 650TX is a great PS. I would keep it if I was you. Plus you bought it at a decent price. Corsair does stand behind their PS's. I have had several Corsair supplies replaced under warranty 3 & 4 years down the road. No questions asked. The pictures on the Egg show the X series supply has a single 12 volt rail rated at 54 amps.
  10. No such thing as a stupid question. Just something you haven't either heard of or learned yet...
  11. Dang bad timing. I just bought 2 used on eBay for 65.00 each shipped. If you still have it after Christmas I may be interested. Phil
  12. On most motherboards it doesn't matter which way you plug in the power switch. There isn't a plus or a negative per say. You can power up your motherboard without the power switch. You just close the contact between both pins. You could use a screw driver or any flat metal. When the power comes on remove the short & you are up & running. Didn't mean to be so long winded on this one. To make a long story short. You are just touching 2 wires together for a second to complete the circuit & the power supply comes on.
  13. Yes you need to jumper pins 7 & 8 on EARS drives in unRAID. Doesn't matter if it is a data, parity or cache drive.
  14. I guess I'll go against popular opinion also. I have a couple of Samsungs & they report their temperature accurately. They read around the same temp as my WD's and Seagate drives. We are not the Norm or Samsung did release a few bad batches of drives. All manufacturers do do that from time to time.
