Howdy,
I bought a 8TB hard drive. Seagate 8TB 5E8 Exos ST8000AS0003 is the
exact model info. It seems to be slow. First, I had it hooked to a
adapter to a USB port. I expected it to be a little slow but it gave me
memories of the old dial-up days. When it shows KBs/second, it's
getting slow

Cost was $11.60 at Newegg. Gives you two satas, one ide. Only has one sata

Sata drives I am thrilled with are:

I have two of these set up in software RAID0. Lightening fast, quiet given
the speed.
2. Sata drives - what have you found to be reliable
and work well. I've
crossed Hitachi off my list because of my experience
with the Ultrastores.
Western Digital works OK for me.
in my .config:
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y
That is very nice to know. I like the price G. Thank you for this and the
drive info.

Thanks. I'll look at them. Anyone want any used IBM 36 Gig SCSI Ultra 3
drives G.

I have a system I need to upgrade from SCSI with an Adaptec 3210S RAID (I'm
using HItachi nee IBM SCSI Ultrastor drives which aren't holding up too well)
and am looking at going with SATA. Some input from the those with
recommendations or experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark, for the info. Sounds like I need to avoid ATI G. I'm in a
position where I have a motherboard that doesn't support SATA so I can either
go IDE or SATA and going SATA appears to be the future way. That means I
have to add a card.
Wat the Promise used on a Linux system?
Sounds

I'd love to keep this card (it has 256MB of ram, too) but the problem is that
it's running six IBM/Hitachi Ultrastore drives - all of which are useless.
They keep going bad and even though they are under warranty and get replaced
I can't build a system that keeps working for any period of
the dev tree? I didn't have anything like
/dev/sda.
Oops, sorry, I didn't see this part. If the SATA
drivers are loaded when LiveCD boots it should see the
drive. I'm currently having a tussle w/ a SATA drive
myself(mostly resolved)
from dmesg:
...
[ 31.970006] nv_sata: Primary device
It loaded sata_nv and I'm pretty sure the drive is probably set up. I'm running headless at the time so I can't confirm. This is a 3gb/sec SATAII drive and controller, so I'm thinking it might be unsupported, at least by the kernel on the live cd (lspci is showing almost everything as NVIDIA
Hey, I just got my first amd system in a long time. It has a 250gb sata drive and the Gentoo live cd has some dmesg messages about nvsata or similar, but it doesn't say anything about where it's stuck in the dev tree.
Does the Gentoo live cd support nvidia nforce4 sata interfaces? Do I have to do
Livecd found the drive but you have to format/mount
it.

Yes I'm aware of that, what I don't know is what drive to partition, format and mount. In an IDE it is /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc. In this I have no clue...On 12/8/05,

Well it looks like either Linux or Gentoo's live cd don't support the 3gb/sec SATA yet. It does load the sata_nv driver, but it doesn't seem to do anything with it since it's an older version. I guess I'll have to wait until I have a monitor and can run Partition Magic or something (though I do
Thank you both for the comments. This helps.
