Re: [H] Capturing websites
Someone mentioned HTTrack. I second that motion. I've used it many times to backup websites for customers who couldn't get a hold of their webmaster and needed to transfer their site to another webhost -Tharin O. --- Anthony Q.

Re: [H] RAID0 SATA vs. single disk SATA 2
As always there are little niggling differences that can be a pro or con for either. But spindle speed is definitely the biggest deciding factor. SATA2 can achieve higher burst speeds due to the higher bandwidth of the interface + caching. There is an edge in performance when transferring small blocks of data. Overall a 10k or 15k rpm drive should definitely out win out over a 7200rpm drive regardless of the interface. The main idea is that sustained transfers from all conventional hard disks aren't capable of even saturating the slower interfaces much less the faster ones. -Tharin O. --- James Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Is there a difinitive answer to the question of performance between a RAID0 array of 10,000 rpm 36 GB Raptors vs single 7200 rpm SATA 2 drive for the OS? I am looking at a re-install of Windows XP Pro in the future and am looking at my options. Both would be on SATA 2 mobo ports. Thanks, Jim Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Second that, Teleport Pro was very good but not free.

Alternatively, I used to use an app called Teleport Pro. Haven't used it in years, and it isn't free, but it did an excellent job at mirroring websites.

[H] Links req'd
This is audio only. I have seen a few links for Vinyl Record-2-CD solutions. I suspect some snake oil in what I read because I do not know how to evaluate the analog-to-USB preamp that feeds the signal to the PC's sound card for processing. Most of the turntables I see look like crap! Very basic. Not what I'd wish to run my collection on. And, it appears that phono cartridge specs do not matter any longer. This I find strange. Does anyone have links for a quality Vinyl-2-CD packages? I am not even ready to dabble in my old 12in video collection that need update to DVD! That's a 2010 question, maybe :) Best, Duncan
Re: [H] RAID0 SATA vs. single disk SATA 2
Thanks Wayne, Tharin and Greg for your replies and insights. So the consensus is that 2 1st generation Raptors in RAID0 would be the better choice for a boot/OS drive than a new SATA 2 drive? Would love one (or even better, two) of the new 150 GB Raptor drives, but they are too $ at the moment for my budget.

Re: [H] RAID0 SATA vs. single disk SATA 2
James, You are way ahead of me. Is there some real world reason you use a RAID pair for a boot drive? Excuse me. I have missed something. Is a RAID pair faster than a single device (raptor?) boot drive? Best, Duncan At 22:28 02/13/2008 -0800, you wrote: Thanks Wayne, Tharin and Greg for your replies and insights.
