Newbies...Pay attention!
Don't let this happen to you. Cover your ass today.
"[11:04] Amputate Your Head: dude, that fucking hunk of shit drive box I got, I don't know what to do with it..... if I send it back the fuckers are gonna gouge me for 25% right off the top.... I get fucked on all the shipping fees.... plus I don't have their original box or the plastic bags the cables and shit came in so they'll fuck me because of that too.....
I think I'm gonna end up eating this whole thing
[11:05] Amputate Your Head: and of course, there's no way to talk to anyone there on the phone about it
[11:05] Amputate Your Head: fucking bastards
[11:06] Amputate Your Head: wanna buy a drive enclosure?
[11:08] AaronM: I would love to have a nice working setup liks that but my experiences in external firewire enclosures is not good. That's why I switched to the pull out drives.
[11:10] Amputate Your Head: it actually probably works fine if I would have hooked it up like I should have, using the 1394b 800 cables from each bridgeboard.... but I don't have the 1394b adapter in the box... I have the 1394a... the 6 pin.... so I daisy chained the bridgeboards together and ran one 1394a cable to the box.... and I think that's where she broke down. Worked fine with four drives, but when I bumped up to 8 drives, it all collapsed.
I bet if I got a 1394b adapter it'd work fine....
[11:13] AaronM: Don't forget to install flapjacks too.
[11:14] Amputate Your Head: that's why I lost all the data on three drives.... I didn't have Flapjacks runing in the background to shield them
[11:15] AaronM: Ya know...I expect this kind of shit from the idiot newbies but not from you. How many threads have we had on GFY warning people of this?
You done fucked up bro.
[11:16] Amputate Your Head: well, it probably wouldn't have helped anyway... all I have is a 30 day trial beta version of the new flapjacks xp
[11:17] Amputate Your Head: it's a hot new version man... lets you run waffler scans and everything
[11:17] AaronM: I was on the Beta team and can get you the full version for a fraction of the cost if you like."
