[xXxSTENCHxXx]

I have a wd 640 gb and I bought a raptor but I don't know how transfer my os onto my raptor

[coldplayer001]

[TehTune]

[123boooom]

hey im not a real teck person but i did everything on the video, but when i try to turn on my pc it sends me to a settings right away i cant do anything at all, please help

[xazule]

if i get a caviar black and my motherboard is dell studio 540 will it work?



[NoahViBrittania]

@xazule You tell me.

[90210blackman]

Interesting to hear about the 2.5" to 3.5" adaptor. Looks so cool. Does anyone know what it's called & if it's available in the UK? Also while watching that video, I was wonderiong wtf that was sitting on top of the cpu on the motherboard. The cm v10 by any chance? Not a nice design by far.

[imonlyhelpin]

If it was a brand-new HDD then would I have to buy a new OS?

[manlazy602]

@imonlyhelpin No you wouldn't unless you take out your old hardrive.

[eddyjt13]

i thought he was goin to says its right up your ass instead of ally

[jewie27]

If I had a dollar for every time I heard basically, i'd basically be rich.

[TheMusicalSensations]

@jewie27 Basically shouldn't even be a word, it's not necessary to be used in a sentence ever, it only elongates the conversation :P

[ROBATORE]

@jewie27 HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA LMFAO I know right!

[boneawl]

What plugs into the slot where theres 4 small pins ontop and bottom?

[zof31091]

yeah, basically

[SilentPhenomed]

yeah....slam those hard drives ontop of eachother....touch the bottom with the oil on your fingers......-_-

[denzelz0r]

hehehe

[DarknessKingCoH]

Is that a psu in your pants or are you just happy to see me 7:03

[wolfermen]

what the fuck... there are still ppl who doesnt know this?

[thepapper]

i need 2tb >_<

[Disinf3ctant]

Albert Rules!

[samof12]

ssd is more for speed but hdd is more for space

[kensuu1995]

damn i love tigerdirect...... hope yall are good!

[Zachariasism]

he sayz basically a lo- FUCK, somebody already said that... :(

[amexnamedluis]

Basically !

[EloxxDj]

I hope its not up my alley.... 0.0! xD

[daxeflame]

what if i'm upgrading to a modern pc but want to take my pata harddrive from it and install as my primary hdd (and then the pc would have a sata harddrive as well as a pata)

can i do that?

[wolfermen]

@daxeflame

No, if you do that Windows cant load. But you could just install your old HDD into the new pc and then just copy all your junk to the new hdd (and still use both HDDs)

I hope this helps :)

[NOXXism]

That's not an adapter in the velociraptor, that's a heatsink

[Peetah16]

@NOXXism Its pretty much an adapter that also works as a heatsink XD

[NOXXism]

@Peetah16 i think it serves more as a heatsink than an adapter. Because if it was a crappy plastic adapter it would overheat or people would remove the adapter, place it inside a ps3 and when they turn it on they can watch their ps3 melt from inside xD

[TheRealBiscuits]

"basically"

[FRURMELLL]

1 terabyte is "enough for most people"

LOL! Most people only use like 200-350 gigs! 1 terabyte is MASSIVE, and you can't do anything with it.

[DanDeath303]

@FRURMELLL actually, my 1tb is almost full, and i bought another one lol

[PRODVDi]

I'm actually having a hard time not filling up my 3 500GB HDDs.

[willferrelsux]

Man I'd love to build a rig with Albert. The guy is an expert.

[Matz20Rios]

s that a V10?

[chri001eddy]

@Matz20Rios yes it is a cooler master V10

[Matz20Rios]

that's so huge,.haha,.

[GunSotsOverMe]

I don't know anything about computers and planning on building my own PC.

This video explained everything well and simple so I could understand

Thank you :)

[dingumfCallofDuty]

Watch when you fuck up your entire computer and break everything.

[soccersport]

@GunSotsOverMe Trust me, Albert is the best person on the station for tech answers. Watch other videos on this network, that's how I learned how to build a computer from scratch.

[LeviathAileron]

Basically

[taxesarehigh]

5 stars! Good vid Albert for the people who are just venturing into the DIY computer thing. I made the mistake a few years ago and bought a IDE for my optical drive, it was my first build. I wish I would have seen this first.

[b0ss6769]

03:56 , 300gb not 400 but ok :)

[triforcelink]

you guys should more of these! ( maybe go more into more details)

[TupacxKobexBiggie]

Hard drive installing is easier than masterbating

[mastersniper13]

over 11 minute video on just INSTALLING a hard drive.

what a fail

[RickArter]

Yea I agree mine was like 4-5 mins.

[superrey19]

guess u didn't watch the video, he explained a lot more than just how to install it.

[timabad]

agree... he should have just said, plug it in.

[b0ss6769]

haha

[MrUnofficial]

well he did talk about IDE, SATA, SSD, SSD adapter, various plugin types, performance, capacity, RAID 0 RAID 1advantages/down falls, imaging, adding drives etc.

[KILLACAMFOO]

now that's a case fan!

[MsPoitras]

Nice tuto thanks!

[meekoman25]

Teaching people all of this adds more competition for jobs in the computer industry. It makes no sense to me why they teach these things to the public.

[nandoGdog]

The jig is up!

[alexsp007]

Logan is on razethew0rld and FreakingLogan

[1staronly]

lol psu on the lap !!

[intruderwings]

Where is LOGAN ?

[UnknownEst1]

dude logan is gone for a loooooong time... so stop looking logan here

[comedyguy1262549]

@UnknownEst1 why is he gone?

[JamboyStu]

It's good to see you guys doing these tutorials again.

Where's Sam and Betty go? do they just make everyone coffee around the office now?

[mikitymike]

i think they were just interns

[olympusflash]

I think in this video he says "basically" for 9999999999 times :@

[superfish7]

What cpu cooler is that?!

[x69Crunchyx]

coolermaster v10

[BsgJunnex57]

its the cooler master v 10

[JamboyStu]

coolermaster v10

[squanto273443]

wow thats always random

[tugfngjfuvj]

8:26 What did you do to the Pins?

[warhunterNL]

Its for the front panel controllers, you sometimes can't put them directly in the motherboard and you need to use stand-offs first.

[tugfngjfuvj]

i dont mean that...look on top of the Q-Connector... there's a Pin bent over :O

[hardeeerock]

actually i just started my first build and found this super usefulllll

[nVidia6000]

Make a "How to" video about RAID and how to set one up that'd be cool, thanks.

[JayKay3000]

Some old SATA drives may come with the SATA power & legacy power (molex) connection. But the internet sells molex to SATA power for like £1.50

The laptop form factor drives tend to be more expensive for equivalent storage space.

You also don't need to fiddle with any jumper settings with SATA which might confuse novice installers.

I wish they'd change the rules so that manufacturers state the usable space i.e 160GB drive = 149GB usable

Overall really useful install vid!

[tsg39]

Really who are you aiming this stuff at?... The quality of this channel is heading downhill

[FRENETIC11]

im excited for the tutorial on how to start my pc, yay! LOL!

[boqallaf]

no kidding, this guy is really a special techspert.

[TechnoGuru27]

We are not stupid...

[DjLMFAO]

ROFL this is like how to not piss in your pants lol

[cobaltdan9]

With some ingenuity I managed to get it to work on the bran new drives, but I'm unsure of whether this presents any problems if I try to configure a RAID 5 array.

Thanks for any information and advice you can give me,

Dan

[cobaltdan9]

my other existing HDD in RAD 1. But I really don't want to do that since they generate a fair amount of heat/vibration. These are all 7200 drives btw.

My main concern is that I do not have any OS discs if I need to reformat my existing "C" drive. I'm a student and managed to get an electronic copy of Win7 from an online company. The problem with it is, in order to install it, you need to have another copy of windows on the harddrive.

[cobaltdan9]

My mobo has an onboard RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 1+0, and 5. Is the best thing for me to do to go buy three more harddrives and just set them up as RAID 5? Or is there a way of setting up the two that I already have, buy a third, and have the computer recognize it as a RAID 5 array without reformatting anything?

I think what I need to do is buy three more HDDs, use two of them in combination with my C drive and set that as RAID 5 and then use the third in tandem with

[cobaltdan9]

My name's Dan and I'm currently deciding what to do with my computer. As it is, I have two 640gb hard drives, JBOD setup. In short, I want to set up a RAID 5 configuration. My goal is to end up with a very good machine, and this is a project I want to work on for quite a while. With that said, I'm unsure of what my options are in this regard; I already have almost 50% space taken up on both of the existing drives and neither drive is backed up.

[HybridPineapple]

@cobaltdan9 raid 0

[cobaltdan9]

I am worried about redundancy though. There's a huge amount of media files and important documents on the secondary drive. That's why I'd rather stick with RAID 5 unless you know of a reason why that's unwise :S

[JANEMBA9000]

I want to know more about that thing you put the SSD Drives into because I want to build my first desktop PC this year & I want to use SSD Drives at lease 2 or 3 1TB SSD Drives.

[iTehTunePawd]

Look at that Cooler Master V10 beast!!

[mrljthedj]

you are a knob faggot

[stagtolis]

i am waiting for more how to..... ;)

[amirudin920927]

nice videos for begginers..

[TylerGRRR]

You are a noob fagget

[amirudin920927]

LOL u are fucking noob..

[damianson]

5 TB's and i still fill them up >.>

[german199denuevo]

-.-'

[crimson177]

buying a second hdd for a raid 1 is cheaper and faster than a external drive

[crimson177]

Ive got a 250gb for my os and other programs and 500gb for my other stuff. i am getting a 1tb hdd soon.

[Nefus2]

13th Comment!

[TheDemeaning]

any advanced how to's coming in the future?

[lestube001]

with the sata how do define the disk to witch you boot from ? is it in the bios ?

[damianson]

at startup, hit del to enter setup, than -> to book disck or boot options, usually 2nd option down, enter, select from list and f10 to save and exit, once your done if you want to switch and repeat and change. same step when booting of dvd to install a OS.

[SoliDeoGloria348]

@lestube001

Yes, it is in the BIOS.  Basically you set the order of your hard drives to be loaded and the first one in the list is where the MBR (Master Boot Record) is loaded from. The operating system can be on any of the hard drives it doesn't matter, but the drive with the MBR on it must be first, and the drive with the OS on it must be in the same location as when it was installed as well.

[anzonix]

I wan't to learn more about RAID 0, I have assembled my own PC. But I never really take time to learn how to use RAID's

[EliteComputerBuilds]

@anzonix Raid 0 is easy with windows vista or windows 7. If you need any help please messege me and we could work something out.

[esponert105]

so you i need 2 hardrive for using raid 0?

[cobaltdan9]

but raid 0 has no redundancy and that's my main issue. i absolutely do not want to go with raid 1 if i can avoid it, because raid 5 seems so much better for the extra money.

I guess I'm just not sure if I need to set this up with completely new drives or whether I can use the ones I have now.

[oli3659]

you need 2 hdd for any raid

[oli3659]

only saw a one sentece post :P

Cant help you on that - i just have my 1TB (the same one in this vid) then my 1.5TB F2 for stroage ;)

[cobaltdan9]

true thanks tho lol

[EliteComputerBuilds]

@esponert105 Yes you need 2 of the same hard drives..

[tippete123]

speed and performance = same, did u mean storage? haha

[4N0NYM0U557]
