[quote author=“Drachen”][quote author=“deichenlaub”]“The US and Britian are two great countries separated by a common languate” (or words to that effect) - Winston Chirchill
I think he was quoting George Bernard Shaw, a man I admire for, among other things, his concern over the inconsistant spelling of English. I think you’re referring to the famous story where during WWII, the English generals wanted “to table” a plan because it was important, which outraged the American generals because it was too important “to table”. :D
[quote author=“rich”]that lapinator thingy would also prevent your jacobs from getting too hot and making you a jaffa…
Jaffa kree!
Sorry… I’ve been watching way too much Stargate.
Anyhow a laptop cooler will probably be your only option for cooling down your system unless you pull out a dremal and make some more vents (great way to void your warrenty).

Happened to my HP… by the BestBuy employees of all people
I always noticed my TR3A getting REALLY hot and I hated it… I guess that is the same with all though. My S and HP ZT3100 are/were hot.
I read an article published from a friend of mine on the IEEE forums in regards to the 1.8” hdd and the heat emissions. One interesting point,
the heat doesntget generated because of the spinning of the plates and the motor ... they use a special fluid in the motor chamber ... the heat gets generated IN BETWEEN the plates, because of the velocity and the movement of the particles…. The temperature of the air is around 57-61C in this place.

It is supposed to be complete vaccuum, no particles, when they assemble the HDD’s because, these particles, may scratch, or damage or cause overheating ...

That’s pretty interesting. But is there any discussion of any new technologies to minimize said heat emission? If only to prevent sterilization of my future generations.
The hot hard drive (and noise and crashing issues) will eventually be a thing of the past when we replace them with motionless flash memory drives. What are we up to now, 8 gig modules was the last article I read?
I like such stupid statements ... they are brilliant.
flash is unstable, have really fucked up access, because of the technology used .
flash cannot be read if you are writing to it at the same time
flash have addressing limitations
flash has no CRC or redundancy mechanisms
flash have cycles, each block can be overwritten 100K times I believe,
just to give you a rough example, during a regular life of a hard drive 360,000 MBTF x 4 it overwrites the same block way over this number
We all read about the 3D FLASH from RAMBUS, the datacenters for all the stock exchanges… how they put SSD instead of HDD’s ... but it is all bulshit ... marketing scams. Show me a SAN with SSD’s with specs similar or better than san with conventional HDDs.
DayWalker - lol, you missed many discussions dealing with flash based hard drives. Welcome to the realistic side…you are joined by myself, Groovy, Drachen, and several others.
I wanted to stay out of this one until I heard your response.
I have 2 IDE HDD (actually called FFD) made by M-Systems. I tried to make a quicker, cooler, and silent PC for the fun of it…the flash drives just sucked to be perfectly honest.
look at that URL ... the guys @ clearcube made millions advertising this COOL IDEA of having a central computer with all the pc blades in it and only a keyboard and a mouse at each terminal. VERY INNOVATIVE, RIGHT ... same shit with the flash memory. I even participated in a project, where we customized a memory bank with DRAM and made an addressable array of 20GB (that was a lot back in 2000..) wrote the binary code, rewrote the firmware so the system would see it as a SCSI disk, everything. THAT SHIT WAS BLAZING FAST, although, this is RAM even ECC, still halts ... no CRC recollection, no ECC, no data recovery mechanisms some of which are found in SMART. If you wonder how we got the money for that memory (it was bad memory at the first place, we took the chips off and designed a new board). MAN I MISS these times… Now I am a fucking consultant, dealing with stupid motherfuckers all day long. NO cool stuff for me anymore. Sometimes I just want to take off and go back to school again…
I paid around $200 for 2 GB of IDE drives, it was worth the gamble to find out myself. I have the drives somewhere in my place, not sure exactly where.
Everything else I own from M-Systems works as advertised…those IDE drives were meant as storage, not for an OS, I suspect.
