  1. is there anyway to check if its ok? ive done it (run as administrator) he gave no error.. he just took another line... when browsing to the usbstick i dont see anything (not even hidden, i thought a hidden file would be there, like the manual says) so any way to check?
  2. well, the u3 is deleted so only one disk now but i keep getting error typing: syslinux.exe -ma g: in dosprompt accessing physical drive: acces refused did not succesfully update the mbr, continuing.. if im doing it through run/start in windows 64 it just flashes but i cant read... i assume its the same error
  3. i got a sandisk cruzer micro 2gig usb stick when i plug it in i get two drives: - a cd station? f: U3 system - another g: station which i can store data on i tried to use syslinux.exe on g: but i get error: accessing physical drive: acces refused did not succesfully update the mbr, continuing.. whats wrong, and how come i get 2 drives from the usb stick instead of one i'm also not able to format f:
  4. well i got 3 new wd20ears drives, should i do it?
  5. Mine is being collected... everything paid. Is preclearing really necessary?
  6. just got an email everything is on stock they are awaiting my second payment (which i did yesterday) cause i ordered another hdd so i think they will ship tomorrow
  7. mm well im waiting today they received my payment today , and everything was checked green, only the mobo is not so waiting for that... i'm curious
  8. ohno.. i just ordered there too.. whats wrong?
  9. Take no preemptive action in this regard. You should observe the SMART values on your drives. If a value seems abnormal or excessive then take action. You can always post your questions in this forum. so i should wait first and see...
  10. it says 2271 hours running and 33092 load cycle count thats a lot no? so you used hdparm -B 255 /dev/sdf?
  11. ok but can someone answer to my question on top of this page (2)?
  12. 3031 counts? how long since its been running 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 096 096 000 Old_age Always - 2963 thats a lot in 9 hours no?
  13. So in short, is this a concern or not? should i do something or not?
  14. 3031 counts? how long since its been running
  15. so all people do it here? i'm beginning to doubt buying these drives first the jumper thing now this
  16. so all people here using wd20ears, know of this? and actually set the APM to off? by adding hdparm -B 255 /dev/sdX where X is your hard drive device? Doesnt this also mean eleminating the power savings?
  17. this is a bit of chinese for me, so what should i do?
  18. i've read that WD 20ears harddisks have problems with going to sleep many times. This causes a lot head parks, which results in dying. Someone gave me a tip to put this commando somewhere: /sbin/hdparm -S 0 /dev/sdd (th s 0 makes them not going into sleep every couple of minutes) is this the case with unraid too?
  19. i want to make a change too, you did that by mail?
  20. I'm doubting if i should go for a second WD 2tb 20 ears drive in the same shop since its +- 10 euro cheaper and i dont have to drive to it... but i keep reading that buying more than 1 hdd in the same shop (from same batch) isnt good cause when one drive fails you have more chance that the same one dies too so what should i do, take a second one in the same shop or get another in different shop, 10 euro more expensive and i have to drive 40min to it..
  21. cleaner ? lol.. its looks not.. Fewer cables = cleaner. The cables I posted allow you to power 3 or 4 SATA drives from just one molex cable. Using the splitters that you were looking at earlier, you would need one molex cable, one molex splitter, and two molex-to-SATA splitters to power the same 3 or 4 SATA drives. How exactly is that cleaner? true! thx for the advice!

  23. how big should the usb stick be? is 2gb enough? or better 4? (cause i got an old 2gb sandisk cruzer usb stick, should i get a new 4gb one?)
