SCSI vs. IDE In The Real World
An anonymous reader writes "Gerard Beekmans has a really good comparison of the speeds of IDE and SCSI drives up over on devchannel.org. Should help put an end to the myth of IDE erasing SCSI's speed advantage." Note that Beekmans' test handicaps the SCSI disk a bit, with interesting results. (DevChannel, like Slashdot, is part of OSDN.)

Proxies baby!
p.s. fuck off and die
We need more creative, humourous, and well-thought out trolls like the one above.
Surely your ISP will have an interest in that you're abusing proxies. Remember, unauthorized use of open proxies is a felony. And we sure wouldn't want you immature GNAA morons behind bars, now would we? I suggest you leave Slashdot and never come back, or I will complain to Roadrunner, and we'll see what they have to say about it.

Help me. I've been modbombed by a few people with entirely too much time on their hands.
Apple appears to do more quality testing on their hard drives in that since Apple started shipping Macs with IDE drives, I have had two failures. Compare this with Wintel boxes like Dells where I have had close to ten IDE drive failures.
I'd be willing to bet... you deal with 5x as many Wintel boxes as you do apples..
Maybe you just don't know what you are talking about.. Apple uses the same exact Western Digital and Maxtor hard drives that dell, gateway, sony, ibm, compaq, whitebox uses. They come from the same factory, from the same companies, and are tested the same by the MFG. There is nothing you can say that will convince anyone with a clue that apple "tests" their IDE hard drives more than the competition. They use the EXACT SAME Model numbers. Your statements are just ridiculous.
This is starting to change with fast SATA drives however and I am looking forward to some new options with the G5.
You mac fanboys are all the same.. SATA is integrated in a variety of motherboards nowadays, and from a variety of OEM's systems (namely, Dell, but who cares about the names, its there and has been for a long time). And your maximum of 2 SATA drives per G5 system is a huge limitation. The thing is a $3,000 workstation for crying out loud. it's physically larger than any Dell systems... And only 2 HDD slots MAXIMUM.
In the end, you used the hard drive performance discussion to spout off idiotic fanboy comments about the mac that don't show anything beneficial for the platform. You could have explained how easy the OS is to use, or how high performance the new CPU is.. but insted you tried to take a stab at the Mac's superior storage capability... Here's a hint.. it isn't superior in this reguard. and hasn't been for a loooong time.
Two infinite things: your stupidity and mine. But I'm not sure about the latter. If my sig offends you, I'm sorry.

good god.. you are just so fucking sad
of course he doesn't.. he'll just try to substantiate his absurd claims with a ramble about his own experience with macs and how after 10 years of "thinking different" he still has yet to figure out a good way of fishing condoms out of his own asshole
