  • IDE Sata question

    I got really excited when the latest blow out sale had a Seagate 320 G Sata HD on sale.  So I purchased it for my PC.  Then I decided that I rather have it for my notebook computer, and went online and purchased the AMS enclosure for the HD, not realizing that it's IDE and not Sata like the HD.  Both of the items were REALLY good ...

  • external enclosure w/ internal mounting rack

    I am looking to buy an external hard drive and came across two examples of external enclosures that come with mounting racks that install into any 3.5 or 5.25 drive bay.  Somehow I managed to forget the site I found this on.  I found one of the hard drives but have been unable to discover any more.  The enclosure I found was a ...

  • HDD's failing... maybe mobo?

    I've had my rig for a little over 5 months now.  I've always experienced some issues with the PC (if I play a bunch of videos back to back, or skip through them in WMP, my comp crashes), but I didn't think much of them.  Within the past month, my PC has been crashing with some regularity.  Vista said it was due to the NVIDIA SATA ...
