You don't have to use the more expensive RE versions of WD hard drives. The main difference between RE and non-RE is that RE drives have the Time Limited Error Recovery disabled while regular drives have it enabled. Look at this thread about it and the links to download the WDTLER program...

I am building a new server to test out Hyper-V but I'm not sure how I should set up the hard drives. I want to buy 6 disks overall, two in a RAID1 and 4 in a RAID5. I was going to install Server 08 host on the RAID1 and then install the VM's and data on the RAID5. But then I read where users...

I don't have any complaints about the fan noise on the Jasper I have. I have a CSON made unit so I believe it uses different fans than the FDOU units. I hear hard drive noise and disc drive noise before any fan noise.

I finally got my Jasper yesterday at the Best Buy in Beavercreek, Ohio. I had to settle for an Arcade with an 120GB hard drive. I got an 844x, 11/5/08, CSON, 12.1A. But they still had Arcade falcons even. They had A LOT of TMEM elite repacks, and some Pro repacks while most were also...

I went to the Target in Huber Heights, Ohio around 10pm tonight. They had about 2 or 3 Arcades, didn't see what they were but were likely Jaspers. They had 1 Elite, and because it was my first Jasper hunt and I was nervous, I was only able to peel back the cardboard and see that it had 14.2A...

I really like Calling All Cars! and I am waiting for Fat Princess when it comes out next year. I have the Flock demo but haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

No, they only have the standard 16mb of memory installed.

I think so! This is great news, I had almost given up hope of getting one by Christmas. The targets here are still sold out and didn't get any in yesterday. Maybe he should buy it so he can get the first jasper elite (and then ship it to me =)

I plan to be hitting the Targets in force. We have like 6 or 6 Targets in the closest metro area and they have been out of stock on elites and some on pro's all week. I hope they get shipments in on Saturday and if they do I am racing out to take a look.

Agreed. It's nice that people have found Jaspers and all, but once they do and have questions about them (like connections and whatnot), they need to make a new thread. The topic summary for this thread has been "please stay on topic" and that is what we need to do, so the people who are...

Hey thanks!! Glad to know I don't have to worry about finding a Jasper arcade. But I am definitely hitting up Target's this weekend to see about the elite Japser. The target's have been out of stock on elites for a couple days. I called the huber heights store and the lady said they get...

Awesome, good to know. I'm glad to know that my post helped you out, but credit goes to the xbox-scene forums where I saw a post on it. About the Dell sale, I think that is more true on Arcades. Someone on the slickdeals.net thread for the Dell sale today said that they got a PRO falcon...

Yep, a DVD player is only going read at the standard 1X speed, as it only needs to spin it that fast to read a DVD movie disc. The xbox has a 12X drive and reads the games at that speed so it is going to be louder automatically. Though when playing back a movie, I think the xbox would only...

Good point, forgot about that. The only issue is that you can't see that from outside the box. I know you can always return it but I would rather not have to deal with that. I just got to be patient, but my patience will wear thin if I don't find one by Christmas Day.

That's what I was thinking...
