it doesn't say so in the manual? I think the 3.4Ghz/3.6Ghz should be no problem if the power circuitry holds up
best to mail Chaintech support for a defenitive answer

Didn't see it.

Chaintech has not answered my last two tickets. I'm disappointed that none of the 5 reviewers mentioned the extremely poor manual and tech support. Perhaps Chaintech responds quicker, accurately and in understandable English, to reviewers. :

I'll keep asking around.


Thanks,

I got this info from the Tigerdirect website, so I don't know if it is entirely accurate or what not, but in the specs it said:
"Processors Supported: Intel Prescott Ready
Intel Celeron up to 2.80GHz
Intel Pentium 4 up to 2.60GHz @ 400MHz FSB
Intel Pentium 4 up to 3.06GHz
Intel Pentium 4 up to 3.20GHz @ 800MHz FSB"

I don't know if it is right or not though. Maybe check a few other retailers and see what their specs say?

Hi V:

Thanks for the CPU info. Intel P4 3.2 is my understanding also. I figure I'll keep an eye on the pro

Sorry I don't know anything about memory.

BTW: I've gone back, from RAID1 to RAID0, RAID0 is noticeably faster. I'm working on finding an easy quick way to back up the essential folders (those changed during the day) each night, perhaps automatically.

Thanks jmke, sounds just like what I'm looking for. Does this require that I know DOS?

sorry for the previous short reply, it was 7:30 in the morning, had to leave for work here's more complete one:

basically you want to copy sensitive data away from the RAID0 array, or try to avoid putting anything of worth to begin with

let's say you your RAID0 array is drive D:
drive E: in windows is your normal , none raided drive.


create a folder on the D: drive

d:\tobackup

move all your sensitive data in that folder and from then on edit/add files directly from/to that directory

now make a new folder on your E: drive

e:\backup

now open notepad and type the following:


xcopy d:\tobackup\*.* e:\backup\*.* /D /E /C /I /F /H /R /K /O /Y >e:\latestbackup.txt


save this notepad document as "backupDtoE.bat" to your E:\ root


here's a quick guide on how to use xcopy,

XCOPY source [destination]

these flags I used
/D Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
assumes that destination must be a directory.
/F Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/R Overwrites read-only files.
/K Copies attributes.
/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.

Now go to start -> Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks

add new task, browse to the .bat file, and choose to run daily or whatever suits your needs
then try it out by double-clicking the backupDtoE.bat

then open the e:\latestbackup.txt file to see if everything went well

I have a similar script running 3 times a day at home, works perfect and fast!

Any answer to the question that I asked?
