Dell 8200 HD problems:
I did try checking to make sure it
was seated and tried a second time but it still doesn't have the USB icon to safely remove it. That's what I meant about it not registering. Robert |

Robert It is properly seated ? The drive I mean. Adapter plugged in ? Signs the drive is spinning up ? You should double-check the enclosure on your 8500. Paul |

Dell 8200 HD problems:
I'll open the Startech case again
and re-check/re-seat it. Yes, the Adapter is plugged in No, the drive didn't spin up which was another thing. I usually hear it when I turn it on. Double check enclosure on the 8500? I don't understand? let me check the Startech case/HD ,.. I couldn't see anything out of place or broke and re-seated it. http://i66.tinypic.com/2z5m1bt.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/i445g2.jpg However, I must have done something when I tried the 160GB HD in it. The fan isn't moving and I tried two different adapters. Robert |

The fan isn't moving and I tried two different adapters. Robert The fan is probably evidence of the state of the +12V. Unless the fan has a switch, then +12V is probably not available inside the enclosure. I would look for a fuse on the controller board inside the enclosure. Since you've tried two adapters. The adapter itself should have current limiting, making a fuse unnecessary. But have a look around for something like that. Normally, you would expect a failing adapter to act up, but not two adapters going out at the same time. Unless the fan has been switched off (some enclosures have a switch for that cooling fan), then I'd say something is preventing +12V from powering the inside of the enclosure. Paul |

Dell 8200 HD problems:
The fan does not have a switch, it's
totally enclosed. There's only the on/off switch Look for a fuse on the controller board? That's why I provided the pictures because I could see nothing and if there had been a fuse I may not of known what it was because some are square? I think I may have damaged the Statech case but I hope the HD is intact. I'll just have to buy another. My fault entirely Robert |

Dell 8200 HD problems:
You would not believe all the emails
I've received from Newegg and Ontrac since the 10 day delay of the video card. When I called about the delay they said they couldn't do anything and didn't. I ended up calling Ontrac and talked to a supervisor and gave him the tracking number and he was as amazed as I was that for 7 full working days it went undelivered. In the meantime, I had ordered another Startech case and again the screws were very tight. They should be finger tight. I installed the 2TB Seagate and seems to work fine and had the safely remove icon. So all is good. http://i64.tinypic.com/23s8b53.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/volxnc.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/2v3ovna.jpg In passing, did you see that China now has the fastest super computer in the world using 'Made in China' technology and components that is 5x faster than anything in the U.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X32lZHKTck4 Do you have any thoughts about that?

I responded earlier but for
some reason it didn't take? I did end up ordering a new Startech case and installed the 2TB Seagate and every thing seems ok: http://i64.tinypic.com/23s8b53.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/volxnc.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/2v3ovna.jpg In passing did you see that the Chinese now have the fastest super computer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X32lZHKTck4 http://www.wired.com/2016/06/fastest...ay-taihulight/ Robert |

Which is 5 times faster than anything the U.S. has!@ Robert |

Robert The computers are good at different things. http://www.wired.com/2016/06/fastest...ay-taihulight/ "Aside from relatively slow memory - a conscious trade off to save money and power consumption - this rig is ready to go to work" That means the machine works best, if the code kernels fit into L1/L2 cache. (And this is no different than any other Supercomputer - locality of reference always helps...) ******* That machine is not likely to make your copy of Firefox work any faster :-) And there are machines that you could run Firefox on. "1x login/development/visualisation node" - that means there is one seat, to look at your computed results on this machine. And you don't have to worry about sweating in that room, as it looks to have lots of air conditioning. http://www.cosmos.damtp.cam.ac.uk/ This is some output from the machine. The machine from a benchmark perspective, would be a lot slower than the Chinese machine. But you can also run an ordinary OS on it. I bet you could even view the Yahoo News page, without it stalling :-) http://www.cosmos.damtp.cam.ac.uk/images/wmap.jpg Paul |

Dell 8200 HD problems:
Did you see that Google did not have any posts
for 2 days? Hence all my posts(above) and tests because I didn't know what was going on? I still don't? Really? FF wouldn't run faster on that? It sounds like what your saying is that some PC's are as fast or faster like game computers for instance? Yeah,, yahoo, MSN,.. etc what a choice! and they are getting worst just as you said they would. As I said all is good. Robert |
