[H] Quantum where?
New hds arrived this am. Quantum, Atlas III, 18GB, 10Krpm, KW18J461. (or Dell KW018J2DEL) Have googled for the past hour trying to run down some documentation about these hds. IIRC Quantum was bought by someone else (?Maxtor), that was then absorbed by someone else (?Seagate). I checked both Seagate and Maxtor but get no hits on the drives I have. The drives are bulk packaged, no docs, and all carry Dell part numbers on the decals. I'm going to check Dell next. I'd like to confirm the position of J7 before install. Anyone have links to doc files? Thank you, Duncan
[H] DSL Modem
Greetings all, My current GNET BB2062 DSL modem is on the fritz. It keeps disconnecting several times a day. I need to buy a new dsl modem so I was just wondering what are you guys recommend? Are GNET modems bad to begin with? Should I use something else such as Speedstream or D-Link maybe? What DSL modems have worked well for you? I don't need a router/modem combo just a regular DSL modem, although I will by a combo and just use the modem part if it is highly recommended. My network is wired. Thanks Jason Carson

Just status: new drive installed in RAID (0:5) The Quantum Atlas III is actually more quiet than the current IBM drives in the other 2 positions! Server is now attempting to re-build its' array. This is a good sign, no? The only odd visual is that the Adaptec bios screen now shows an added object: o (0,0) Missing Component I read this to define the missing dead hdCorrect? Thank you, Duncan
Re: [H] DSL Modem
I'm using a Linksys AM200 modem (just modem alone, wired) and it works like a champ!

[H] Server died again #5
New drives in hand. One installed in the failed position. Server booted and held at the bios prompt (ctrl+A) for the raid array. All 3 drives NOW read optimal. In bios, I gave the RAID REBUID command. (at ~1400hrs, my time). It is now ~2020 my time. All I have witnessed (seen, heard) since is that the Activity LEDs (yellow) of all three drives of the RAID array blink ON every ~10 seconds. It is just a 'blink.' I do accept that my raid card only has 32MB of SODIMM RAM. But still.. Greg, you may just win this hand! OK, if I leave this machine alone all night, will I have coffee in the AM with a re-built array, maybe? I can accept even a RAID controller that is toast! (if so, the next question is: does anyone have a cheap A-3200S for sale) LOL! Sometimes, this hobby is just way too much fun! Yagotztaluvitsometimes! Pull no punches here, please. I can always just start over. I still have the bios-level command of CREATE :) Thank you, Duncan
Re: [H] Server died again #5
What's your rebuild rate? Most cards I've seen default to 20%, which will take about 40 billion years to complete. Even at 80% rebuild rate, my Areca 12x500GB RAID6 array takes about 8 or 9 hours to complete a rebuild. However, during the rebuild, you should be able to use the drive as normal.
