theres olny 26 letters in the alphabet and the floppy drive uses A, so windows must get very confussed

Edit: I only count 24 :S
If his information (which says theres 28) is right thats over 4 TB of diskspace.
Lots of porn and films and porn films :grin:

Why is the pic not loading after drive p cause i wanted to see for it'll be named.
Also it has 4116 Gb !!!! I have 40 Gb :( Man thats a lot of games, music movies (Non x rated) and as madman66 sayz lots of porn (& For ppl with the white theme porn)
Too much money eh ??? I have no idea what the hell anyone can do with 4116 gb :S I dont think u can even fill that much space !!! Even if i would have never deleted anything that i had in the past 3 years i had this pc i would reach 300 gb thats it !!!
Plus no cd rom drive :undecided:

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hhd's in a pc! by Chris.1 on 02-01-2005 at 11:52 AM

Maybe he's doing lots of high quality video editing. Or he's trying to remake all the scenes from LOTR.

twisting my words ;)

For a standard desktop / home user - there is most likely no need to such a large amount of storage. I could understand it if was in a corporate environment.

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hhd's in a pc! by user27089 on 02-01-2005 at 12:30 PM

Maybe he has a lot of games, by the looks of it he does, look at the names of the drives...

HDD's use low power. A 600W power supply should be able to handle that - I imagine two would be better tho :P

According to the specs I posted, he has 1 x Antec True Power 550W. But.. he has no (space for) cd-rom drives, so that saves some power :p. And he has a crappy graphics card :p

Doubt that a 600W would do the trick.

i seriouly doubt you have a 3.3 gb disc in your computer. its probably a partition they use to backup your stuff. if i bought one i'd delete it :P.

You have an 80gb drive with a 3.3GB Recovery Partition, this would be why you had to make your own Recovery cds. You simply tap F10 to load into a full system recovery. Not Dodgy but half smart half stupid.

Whaaa, this is crazy.

If I had that many hdds, I wouldn't remember where I put my files later.

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by Millenium_edition on 02-02-2005 at 11:52 AM

would be fun to have that... it would beat time's 120 gig of porn :refuck:

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by Tasha on 02-02-2005 at 01:37 PM

woah. Thats a lot of space. :p

Must be hard to keep though..

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by lizard.boy on 02-02-2005 at 07:06 PM

the proper way to do it would be like yoshi's 2 tb server and have them raided so that there is 1 or 2 drives volumes.

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by mad_onion on 02-02-2005 at 09:25 PM

wow thats a lot i doubt any normal users needs that much

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by _Humphreys on 02-02-2005 at 09:31 PM

What does Windows call drives after 24 drives by defualt. Is it something like AA or A+ or A2?

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by Ezra on 02-02-2005 at 10:59 PM

You can't have more drives... Z is the last one

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by jren207 on 02-02-2005 at 11:17 PM

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by Fredzz on 02-03-2005 at 02:38 AM

C'mon.... you don't have to know Swedish to understand that
  • Chassi = Case
  • Moderkort = Motherboard
  • Minne = Memory
  • Graffekort = Graphics Card
  • Kontrollerkort = Contoller Card
  • Nätagg = Power Supply

And I guess that
Kontrollerkort  2 x Silicon Image ATA-Controllers (4 st diskplatser på varje kort = 8 st)
  2 x Highpoint Rocketraid 454 (8 diskplatser på varje kort = 16 st)
  (samt de vanliga IDE-platserna på moderkortet så totalt finns det 28 st diskplatser)

means something like

Controller card: 2 x Silicon Image ATA-Controllers (4 hdd slots per card = 8 hdd slots)
2 x Highpoint Rocketraid 454 (8 hdd slots per card = 16 hdd slots)
  (alltoghether that gives 28 hdd slots on the motherboard)

Ya it would be seriously problamatic. Would need to use search a lot :dodgy:
RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by Chris.1 on 02-03-2005 at 11:05 AM

As someone mentioned above - you would simply RAID them into 1 or 2 very large volumes, therefore only seeing two or so drives.

RE: You know what? Let's put 28 hdd's in a pc! by lizard.boy on 02-03-2005 at 07:16 PM

heh i said that would be the smartest way to do it. he simply has 20+ drives under my computer.

the only way to get that many drives onto a production motherboard is to use ide controller cards.
(or s-ata or SCSI depending on the driver type.)
