Hell, there was a supercomputers built with PS3 clusters. Maybe that explains why the Steam Machine only has a 1Gbps nic...
I'm most surprised that they removed SMART tooling. My primary pool is still spinning rust for the foreseeable further. And I just retired a drive based on SMART testing and TrueNAS's alerting.

As was already said, 160 was pretty common, think increments of 20 or 40 is what i remember. Raptor drives had kinda odd size increments compared to other consumer drives. Looks like it would be 36Gb circa 2003.
I once got some retired scsi drives. Man 10,000rpm drives were loud and hot...

Makes me wonder if there is self hosted project like Google Wave... and if that is a good idea...

Hi Mike, going to need to have you calculate a new slingshot trigectory to Earth after I get through your list of jokes with Wyoming.
