Still powering on and off. Maybe it has something to do with coming out of sleep. Nothing to do with the performance profile either it seems. Well after many hours of silly setting changes I finally changed the power options from 'balanced' to 'performance' in VISTA. It might have done the trick...w...

Maxtor Diamond Max 10 constantly powering off with VISTA
Hi all,
I upgrade my OS to VISTA and now my Maxtor is constantly powering off on low activity. Does Maxtor Diamond Max have auto APM?

Would it seek noise really be affected by how they're mounted? Absolutely; huge. There are many different ways if you start reviewing some posts. My favorite as above though you will find other people have their favorites to include sorthobane. I even have one hard drive on another computer in a sm...

Re: Me to
I also got the Western Digital WD5000KS (well, it's listed as the WD5000KSRTL at MicroCenter as is every 500gb Western Digital drive - but the drive itself says WD5000KS on it). And I to am a little under whelmed by the quietness of the drive. It was a pretty annoying seek/write noise when I hooked...

Quiet! with a fair amount of vibration
Just got the WD5000KS installed. Very quiet! Lots of vibration though compared to my maxtor DM9s. No way can this be mounted in any way but foam or suspension.
Ended up using sponge rubber weatherstrip 1/2" from Ace. Pretty good stuff..wonder how it compares to sorbothane.

Using a PSU calculator it seems a p4 slightly loaded system with an ATI 9700 PRO can max out the 5V line.

30A 5V rail should be enough for that system
The 550W NEO has 20 AMPS on the 5V line. Shouldn't that be enough for one P3?

Looks like it won't work on a GA6CX PIII board? Note that they talk of amperage on VCC_CORE which does not directly translate to amperage on 5V line. VCC_CORE for a P3 is something like 1.6-1.7V ? Anyway while it does draw on the 5V line in old motherboards, it is transformed from 5V which means th...

No, the issue is that old (really old) Athlon XP and P-III chipsets powered the CPU from the +5V line. I don't think I've ever come across one of these boards personally, since they were around before I played around with hardware much. From the Intel docs: The Pentium II and Pentium III processors...

Hi, From the review. Why is this? Is this related to how many 5 volt PCI cards? As I said I have a ABIT AS8 but I also have a GIGABYTE GA6CX I'd like it to work with. Both boards are PCI 2.2 or better. The majority of the output capacity is available on the +12V rails. This closely matches the power...

I read on another forum that someone emailed Maxtor and asked them, and they told him there wasnt a way to do it. I think that's pretty odd. hitachi tools works on the DM10. If you can't get it to work then ...

Well I've got my DM10 setup with AAM now, and I'm really impressed. Quiet idle and seeks now, and such a huge difference compared to my old WD. I could probably even sleep with this one on now. As far as reliability goes, I don't see it being an issue. Knowing how I like to change hardware I imagin...

There are super quiet versions of the 7200.7's out there, if you can I.D. them, but it looks like PC Pro got the not so quiet version. As far as I'm concerned, Seagate are in a different league when it comes to reliability record, with Maxtor near the bottom of the league. That is exactly how I fee...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive and want something quiet. I currently have a Western Digital WD1600 (IDE) which is really pretty noisy. When it's reading data I can hear it from a different room, and at idle it's got a very noticeable "whoosing" sound. I know that any of the hard drives I'...

I use the sony DRU 500A. Its a slower burner by todays standard but is quiet.
This looks interesting but I'm wondering if it slows down.
