Which Samsung Hard Drives Support Native Command Queueing (NCQ)?
598923
Native Command Queuing boosts drive reliability and performance. Serial ATA II has created new opportunities for performance improvement at lower cost. This enhanced feature of SATA II interface, vastly improve the performance by allowing multiple commands to be accessed within a drive at the same time. In other words, NCQ command protocol has an internal queue where outstanding commands can be intelligently rescheduled and reordered. Therefore, highly transactional workloads are intelligently processed according to their task priority, which eventually leads to improved drive performance. The introduction of NCQ with SATA II interface will eventually closes the gap in performance compared to higher priced SCSI drives.

Look at the old hard drive.  There should be a label with the model number and manufacturer on it.  Search the model number at the manufacturer's web site.  It should tell you which kind of hard drive it it.\n\nTypically, it depends on what connector is on it.  A small connector which is about a little over half an inch is a serial ata connector.  A larger connector about 2 inches wide is a ata/uata/dma/udma/ide connector.  Each of these different modes are different transfer speeds, but plug looks the same.  By researching your model at the manufacturer's site will tell you what speed it will transfer at, thus giving you the right protocol hard drive to purchase.  \n\nfor example,\nultra 33 - theoretical 33 MHz transfer\nultra 66 - theoretical 66 MHz transfer\nultra 100 - theoretical 100 MHz transfer\nultra 133 - theoretical 133 MHz transfer\nsata 150 - theoretical 150 MHz transfer\n\nThere are also SCSI drives, but most mainstream home computers don't have them.\n\nHard drives don't come in RAID form, it is how how you set up your hard drives if your motherboard/host adapter supports RAID.  RAID is an array of hard drives.  You can use multiple hard drives in RAID to get effects such as combined output from multiple hard drives for more output speed, or for redundancy such as writing to two hard drives at once so you have an extra hard drive with with same data for backup in case one happens to die. More advanced versions of RAID can do both of these functions (combined output and redundancy) at the same time.

Yeah, either move the Samsung to the same IDE channel that your hard drive is attached to, or make it the master, and the ROM drive the slave, on the channel they're on now.

Uhm, might it not be SOHW-812S?\n\nThe SOHW is the first part of the model number of a drive manufacturerd by the LITEON company.\n\nhttp://62.58.201.212/eu/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=178\n\nAt catagory select optical storage and then select SOHW-812S from teh drop down menu at MODEL NUMBER, and your a way for the firmware.\n\nDrivers are not needed for any operating system, except dos. for Dos you can use Adaptec or Oakrom generic drives (i think).

go to start, al programes, accessories, command prompt type chkdsk press enter this will check your hard drive.

The only viable option besides copying to the hard drive is the Disc Stakka from Imation. See more info here: http://www.imation.com.au/products/disc_stakka/index.htm\nhttp://www.imation.com/products/disc_stakka/index.html\n\nAdded the U.S. link. My mistake.

just buy a good drive, maxtor ( now seagate ) or western digital\nmake sure the interface is the same ( it's probaly PATA and not SATA is you got a 33gb hardrive ), most all are 7200 rpm\nyour biggest problem will be weather or not your bios can handle a drive over 137Gb if you get one that big, you also did not mention your OS, and what you be foramtting the drive to ( FAT32 or NTFS ).

It means Internal Hard Drive

not a problem at all.  you can have multiple drives each with its own letter designation

Take my word, purchase Maxtor One Touch 2. Its a 300Gb hard disk worth around $250. Its can handle loads upto of network file server. It has 7200 RPM disk speed with 16Mb Cache. Its the cheapest, and best in performance. I am a music video collector and have divided it into 6 partitions of 50 Gb Each. I purchased it to connect to my laptop. It is also pretty stable, has a long life. It can handle heavy server loads too. Before buying, I did a one month research on various factors. Just one word of precaution, don't buy Maxtor One Touch (250Gb), this is one Touch 2. In case you need to back up your files, you just need to press a button on the hard disk, and it back ups automatically.\n\nThe only one better than it is Sony 400 Gb hard disk, but its price is almost double and not that great enhancement in performance.\n\nAn interesting info, it is better than most laptop internal hard drives themselves.

Sata-1 would be a good place for the primary drive. When you expand add to 2, 3 , etc.

Enable 48-bit LBA Support for Large Hard Drives should help you out.\nhttp://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1115/

If you have a Maxtor or a WD hard drive, go to their web site.  They have a tool you can download for free (but only works on their drives as the target drive) that will do what you want.\n\nIt's basically the same tool, but setup to work for only that company.

I have seen some models with 60Gb/100Gb IDE drives.  The 60Gb disks were 4200RPM.  Most likely to be 2.5" disk drives.\n\nHowever, if you want higher storage capacity then try external hard disk drives.  These can plug into the USB ports. You have the option of using either 2.5" disk drives(expensive) or 3.5" disk drives(cheaper, used in desktops).  You can have upto 200/250Gb or even 400Gb depending on your budget.\n\nBattery Wizard\nhttp://www.ComputerBatteries.co.uk
