I may be sorry for reviving one of our more acrimonious recent
threads, but I thought this might contribute to the discussion:
Why RAID 5 Stops Working in 2009,

The storage version of Y2k? No, it’s a function of capacity growth
and RAID 5’s limitations. If
In the sidebar of the article about RAID was another interesting story:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=2415
The author reports that MS is seeking to pay pundits to write anti-Apple
stories. They offered to provide all the research to write from and
$15,000.
I guess that is easier than fixing
So the first time your new car breaks down, you buy a new one? What about
when you just change the oil? Or do you buy a new car then too? You must
buy a LOT of computers, even macs if you toss them if they get a kernel
panic.
Interestingly the article actual reaches the same conclusion as you,
We missed it like global freezing, and that other catastrophe the inventor
of the internet keeps droning about. Funny how all these RAID setups just
keep humming along in face of the 'facts'.

When I disconnect the external hard drive USB connection the light goes out

turns it on. If I unplug the USB when computer is off and then turn it back

Now I'm really confused - why would the external HD's power supply not be
supplying its power?? What, pray tell, does all this mean as far as the low
power messages?
I think you have demonstrated that your drive's power supply is kaput. So
the drive has to pull all its power over the USB.

Depends on why it failed. If I look at it and realize that I made a very
bad mistake then I would send it back. I have done that with PCs on more
than one occasion.
Keep me informed. I'm pleased that you were able to get through
but I'm very concerned that it wasn't easier.
I am particularly interested in knowing how smoothly the installation
goes and what your opinion of the product is.

I want to install new typefaces fonts on a computer. I already know
how to do so using Windows XP Control Panel. But there are a lot of
fonts to install, so I wonder if just to copy paste them to the
Windows Fonts folder will do. Can I?
That can corrupt your registry. Not a good idea.
Perhaps you got one of those checks from MS too?
If only. Ballmer won't return my calls.
Apple has got MS scared to death and for good reason.
Not really. Google, OTOH, does and for an actual good reason.

No. Highlight a chunk of the fonts, right click on
My recollection was that the drop (line from the street) was supposed to be
pulled and laid prior to the
truck install roll. The Verizon install folks seem to budget about 4 hours
per install and like to
get three done per day from what the technicians have told me over time.

Do you mean the power supply of the External HD (which I just recently
bought)?
This is getting weird; Now the computer (last 4 times or so) has started up
fine, whether or not I have the External drive USB plugged in or not, and
even with the other 3 USB devices plugged in.

I was told the same prior to the install, but it seems that it didn't get
done.

Of course, we've expected them to match FIOS speed eventually, so this
