My new RAID controller card and 8 hard disks turned up today (ordered through Scan). I was going too fit them into the file server, but I\'ve realised one tiny little problem. I don\'t have enough spare power connectors. I need 6 (I\'ve ordered 8) molex -> SATA connectors for the 8 x SATA disks, and because I\'ve already used up all but one molex connector, I\'ve also bought several Y splitters. They should arrive in the next few days, as I\'ve got Aria to send them via Royal Mail. I may still have a slight problem though, as four of the disks need to be screwed into my 5 1/4 inch bays, and I don\'t think I have enough spare brackets lyng around. So perhaps that\'ll be another order.
Don\'t you just hate when you have a scratch on your foot and you\'re wearing a shoe? I also finished State Of Fear by Michael Crichton. It took me a while to get into it, but eventually I was hooked and couldn\'t stop reading all 700+ pages of it. It's certainly made me more open minded about global warming and science. I think I might cook some pasta for dinner tonight.
