Seriously, this thing doesn't even support the x86 instruction set (yet?), and is not form-factor compatible with today's processors.
When it finally comes out, hopefully they will have integrated the "3D" chip-stacking tech into it as well, and HOPEFULLY it will run both cooler and with less power requirements than today's offerings.
That's not NEARLY effective enough for Today's recovery capabilities, much less $tomorrow's.
HOWTO: Safely decommission a hard drive so that NO-ONE can EVAR get (your?) data off it again:
o Obtain chainsaw (and safety glasses) o Obtain a vise o Obtain welding torch or equivalent o Obtain round-trip plane tickets to $volcano or $deeepdeephole
o Don safety glasses, and move to a shielded area o Secure the drive in place o Cut drive in (4) pieces with $chainsaw (Poulan makes a good brand, just sayin' )
o BURN the pieces with $welding-torch
o Package the slagged pieces up into $box
o Arrive early to your plane flight to get thru $security
I don't use the RAID "feature" on the card; but it's a decent cheap IDE expander. Pretty much standardized on it because there is Linux support for it out of the box, and if I need 4 more IDE drives or an extra DVD burner in a system, it fits the bill.
I've even started stepping away from LVM with drive capacities getting larger these days. One disk in an LVM goes bad and you're fscked.

--Dude... I think you might have just facilitated the invention of the Transporter, by an order of magnitude... ;-)
--They gave it to him on (2) DVD's. Couldn't they have just burned it to a dual-layer?
:b
How about DRAW YOUR FARKING BLINDS before doing stuff like that, jackleg??
;-)
ZOMG, her pussy was EXPOSED on teh Intarweb?? Everybody PANIC!!11one!
;-)
Acronis (or even linux + dd, after zeroing-out the free space) is good backup. ;-)
I would say you might try P2V'ing it to a VM but it would prolly not work.
Nonono, I mean backup the state of the machine as-is. If it's faster and more secure... ;-)
:)
Only downside like you said, is mebbe it only works with the Sims. But if you can get it working with other software, you win.
--The speed boost will be even better when they reduce the OVERHEAD of running everything on separate cores.
Hmm; your ideas intrigue me, and I have subscribed to your newsletter. ;-)
If you have info on current costs of 8-way x86-64 boxen, pls feel free to contact me offboard.
Indeed, but only with Vmware and/or OpenVZ. ;-)

Back it up anyway; maybe you can reproduce teh results with another prog. ;-)

Would you please post (somehow) which brand and model of controller did this + date (year at least)? TIA
?
;-)
You say what now??
Dammit... Did anybody get a crash dump so this can be fixed for the next race??
;-)
o That is only a SINGLE CHANNEL IDE card (2 drives max)
? id=31c ontrollers/m/19271025
o It's a bit pricey compared to a Silicon Image IDE-133 RAID-capable card:

o IDE is $dying. SATA and other tech is the way to plan for $future, and believe me I am currently fairly heavily invested in IDE drives.

Good old Bruce Dern; what a classic.
True story: Back in teh day, I was in the hospital overnight for kidney stones. Silent running came on TV ~2am.

Niiiiice... ;-)
Even 10% on a 16-core could prolly still be optimized a little tho. (You start noticing these kinds of things whilst running vmware in the BG.)
