the shipment of harddrives is flying in tomorrow. All minimum 120 gig, in removeable trays, in a chained FireWire Farm......



sometimes being #1 sucks.....

sometimes it's so sweet it brings a tear to the old hardened eye.




here's a pic of my beach for those that don't appreciate infinite expansion.

you getting into video?

That makes my dick hard, you got a gallery of that thing?

Wow you're mousepad looks raped Amp. What the fuck did you do with it..

I'm with you on this one.

I was happy with my removable hard drives but now I have a new toy to buy.

Aaron promised to pose nude next to them when he lands here in December. Nothing will convert higher.

I thought we agreed that those pics would only be used for your private collection?

I'm just happy being witness to the shoot.

Great now I just drooled all over myself

too much masturbation.

Ah figures..

Good luck in editing Amp, only need that kind of fire power for video.

When ya throwin out some samples?

Those are Western Digital though. Better becareful about those drives they fry fast, might wanna consider Matrox after ya see what I am talkin aboot.

i just came.

hehehehe..... no one knows the utter Goliath that is, Adult.com. I too am shocked. But we digress....

as we all know, I don't keep an online portfolio any more. However, I've been kicking around an idea that I have yet to discuss with Lensman, which may bring some of it to light.

no Western Digital here..... everything coming in on the plane tomorrow is straight up IBM.

IBM DRIVES ARE *PURE SHIT*

Just be sure you save the boxes they come in... actually, you might as well request they are shipped in individual boxes.

IBM's RMA return policy requires them to be shipped in drive boxes -- and trust that you will be returing them for RMA at some point.

I don't have any IBM drives now that HAVEN'T gone trhough the RMA process - most have been through twice or more now.

So in closing, :321GFY IBM HARD DRIVES.


For that matter, their Thinkpads suck too. They have been using the same buggy trackpoint components for the past 10 years or so.

hehehehe..... me too. :winkwink:



I've been driven to meet the standards and demands of one of, if not the, largest and most successful adult players in the biz. This happened out of sheer necessity. The need to keep up withthe rest of the team. I've dumped a ton of money into new gear to keep up. This is only a qwik pic of the first delivery which came early.


I think I'm coming again.....

looking good :thumbsup

yeah.... they fail on me after 12 months.... but they're cheap as dirt. And with the backup system I have, I can afford to replace them once a year. No data loss. It's a write off.

Dude.. with you in HI, the RMA shipping alone (that comes out of your pocket - deduction or not) should be enough to keep you away.

Go Seagate, Go WD... hell even Maxtor... but NEVER IBM for hard drives.

They couldn't even handle their own warranty repair stuff anymore on their drives... they had to contract it out to some other company. Hitatchi maybe? I forgot. I don't even bother sending them back anymore... they go straight to the shitcan anymore.

im jealous. or horny. i cant decide which. maybe both.

RMA??? LOL...... dude.... hard disk fails, hard disk goes in the trash. Fuck RMA for anything less than 2k.

I have never had an IBM or Wester Digital hard drive go out on me. EVER.

knock on wood

I've used tons of drives... and seen even more in use in friends hosting businesses.

I've never had a HD fail on me OTHER THAN IBM's ;)

/me gets wood & knocks on it.


Drives aren't supposed to be disposable.

I once heard that IBM's response to those drives were "They weren't intended to be on all the time" or something to that effect. :1orglaugh

definately consider yourself among the lucky. My hard drives NEVER last more than 12 months. The main drive that's out right now lasted 11.

Long as I can continue to get full credit off on my taxes, I give a damn.

Note to self....Bring an extra suitcase to smuggle AMP's new firewire system out of his house.

HD's are disposable at this point. They're cheap and easily replaced. If you think you're going to buy a harddisk and have it last for 5 years like in the 90's,.... you're dreaming and immersed in utter denial.

Dont tell me you are gonna start talking about your wood next?


I patented the morning wood line , get your own :Graucho

I'll have to shoot you.

amp's right, when you're running a good raid 5 setup or something like that, just as well go cheap and large.

i've been looking at dropping some samsungs in a machine because they're ultra cheap.

i've been very lucky with hard drives, not one of my _personal_ hard drives has ever died. *knock on wood*.

hard drives are a poor storage media in general. if you have raid 5, just swap them when they die and move on with life. for as cheap as you can pick up a samsung 160gb, 12 months is plenty of use out of it.

coincendentally neither have i...

maybe its the newer ibm drives that fuck up easy, god knows i put mine through hell and back

:glugglug

finally.....



there is intelligent life on GFY.
