We have been using primarily Western Digital drives in all of our server (Raid Edition Series "YS) but have had some problems recently with failing drives, or SMART errors on drives that were only a month or two old. I'm beginning to think maybe Seagate is a better choice?
Based on all of the experience out there, which way do most of you lean...WD or Seagate?
Are there anyone using those WD Green Power HDD? Do you suffer performance loss because it doesnt always spinning at max speed 7200 rpm?

I found many, but I dont know who to trust?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a company that could provide a reasonably priced, reliable, unmanaged server for me somewhere in western europe?
I'll need a reasonable amount of bandwidth, so this is a consideration.
I'm based in the UK, but willing to look at other, more digitally enlightened countries nearby (Norway, Finland, France, Germany, etc) to get a better price since servers are very expensive here.
The server be hosting a big AJAX application so latency is a consideration also.
Is there a way that I can check if the host provider installed the correct hardware for my server?
I had 3x Seagate 73GB 15k RPM SCSI so I wonder if there is a way to confirm that make sure they gave me the 15k but not 10k?
So I bought 4 little simple SCSI drives to build up an older dual p3 server... and they worked great.
Later I bought 4 more and was going to build up an identical machine... but I ended up sitting on it for a few months.
Now that I've gone back to it... I've discovered that the more recent 4 drives have a SUN firmware on them... and CentOS doesn't know how to install on them.

I've managed to download SeaTools Linux CLI and other tools for downloading (uploading) a firmware file to the drives.
However, I can't figure out a way to copy the existing flash on the working drives to a file, or I can't find a firmware update for the drives
How much faster is a Raptor 74GB 10,000rpm compared to a Seagate 250GB SATA-II 7200rpm? Both are priced the same. I'm comtemplating on which one to use for a database..go for more storage or a faster drive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust wondered if anyone had had any experince with Digital City Hosting?
I took a package out with them about two months ago and have been hosting my site top100links.info on it for about a month and half without any problems.
Then on Thursday my site went down and stayed down until last night which is pretty shocking. I emailed them about four times and they still haven't got back to me, which i'm pretty annoyed about.
Has anyone else encountered similar problems?
Should I move my site to someone more reputable or stick it out and hope that it was a one off?Chris
I've had my VPS with Digital Linx for a little over two days now.
I've had nothing but PURE EPIC support from these guys. They are completely honest when you ask them a question about their company, and most of all, they ALL know EXACTLY what they are talking about!
Support is really good so far, I haven't had any really urgent issues as of yet.
I will keep this thread updated as my experience goes on, but so far, perfect.
I'm working on a project that requires patients of a large medical practice to go online and fill out various medical question/information forms at their own leisure. This information is entered through a complex system of forms (depending on the type of patient, injury, etc.). However, on many of the forms a patient would have to fill out by hand, they need to sign to ensure information is completed accurately and completely.
So here's my question - what exactly is required to make a digital signature from a website that will hold up in court as strong as a hand-written signature? I've seen other forms that have you type your complete name and date, but is this all that's required? This needs to be as strong and mean the same thing as a signed piece of paper.
I've done a little research, but there really isn't much out there on this stuff. I found some information at W3C (sorry I can't link; I do not have 5 posts yet) but to be honest, I'm really confused by it all.

I have had a VPS with Digital Linx since December 4, 2008. I am more than happy with the service I have received from them. At first, their order and billing system was a bit wonky, but now it is working just fine. I have dealt with support a few times, and they have been very quick to respond. Their MSN support person is online a LOT. At one point, there was a heavy load on the VPS. I msg'd support on MSN and they were already dealing with it. It was fixed in 5 minutes. They were also quick to set up TAP/TUN, and were really good when I said I was going to set up the VNC I am currently running.
They have added a number of good VPS images since, including 2 VNC images. With this, the offer more than most VPS providers. Their support people have always been very quick to respond, and their prices are very competitive. I am thrilled to get this level of support for the amount I pay.
I currently do not have any website hosted on that VPS. I am using it as a VNC server/remote office. But, just so you know, I am posting from it! I have reported my domainname/IP.
I highly recommend Digital Linx. They are one of the best value VPS companies I have dealt with, and I have dealt with a few.
