But you don't want to swap a hard drive.


I don't need to...Apple does it for me.

I had a choice of drives for my server, so I bought four of these:

Seagate Constellation ES 2 TB Internal hard drive - 300 MBps - 7200 rpm


Seagate/Maxtor is a pretty good drive


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem with Apple, at least in former days, was you had to buy the
drive from Apple at excessive price. Same frikken drive as on a PC but
with a unique identifier in the SCSI packet. I designed Maxtor drives
and they were the same exact drive except for the identifier. The
problem with WD drives was getting them to be reliable at 7200 rpm. As
Jim McCoy, Chairman of Maxtor when I worked there, stated, anyone can
build a 3600 rpm drive, hard to handle the head flying and control at
7200 rpm. Lots of turbulence at the extra rpm.

That's no longer the case. You can buy drives in many sizes
from many vendors. I could upgrade the drive in my laptop, for example,
in about 10 minutes.

The server I have is made by Synology, not Apple. There is a long list
of recommended drives you can use with it. The device comes "driveless,"
as it were. Took longer to take the four drives out of their packaging
than it did to install them in the server.

A couple days ago you said you'd met me half way.. and I chose Maine.
As expected, you were a 'no show'.
Do you really expect me to travel all the way to Philly so you can re-
direct me to your drug supplier.... probably in a housing project in
a questionable part of the city?

Oh, Suckling Don the Coward, you try SO hard, but you still come out
looking like the low life coward you are. Hey, what about that bet that
you wanted to make with me, you know the one, where you said you'd bet
$500 that John was right in that I'm Kevin? Want to go for it? I didn't
think so.

Little iLoogy is so slow he doesn't realize that if I wanted to, I could
show up at any almost any public place in Maryland with a concealed
firearm. Those of us with Maryland concealed carry permits can do that.
D'oh. And he could be arrested on public property for fighting, too.

It matters not...he wouldn't show under any circumstance.

I don't give a ****, go for it. Where do you want to meet? And yes, I
WILL show up. Try me.

He's too much of a coward to go out of the house. He expected me to
visit his house. Of course, the coward showed his true colors when I
told him I'd meet him anywhere on public property. Notice he's too
scared to accept? Did anyone except Don expect anything other?

You gotta love the erroneous conclusions intellectually challenged
posters like iLoogy and iSnotty reach.

For year here I've stated that I wouldn't inconvenience myself by even
crossing a street to meet up with certain posters here. So now one of
the idiots wants me to drive to "public property" to give him the
beating he seeks?

I offered him conditions I said were non-negotiable. Ever since, he's
been trying to negotiate.

The terms:

Presentation in advance of verifiable identification.
Meeting by arrangement.
Meeting here.
No weapons.

Seems simple enough.

His fear of arrest is absurd. He can be more easily arrested on public
property.

He's just a loud-mouthed pussy, just like his buddy iSnotty.

WTF are you talking about, Suckling Don the Coward?? I've stated over

cowardly to do such. And you are nothing but his personal butt plug.
