  1. Does anyone want to re-build this thing and try Ubuntu on it? If so, my fees will be extraordinarily reasonable; just provide the hardware, some food and coffee, and a well-ventilated room for a day or so.

    Oh, and a trampoline.

  2. Wow, that’s a lot of hard drives…

    Those are SSDs – solid state drives. They cost a lot more than hard drives.

  3. Thanks for this post. My friend living near the Eiffel Tower may need to look into this. However, I am skeptical at drug companies and their promises. I wonder if this will be another one of those “lifetime treatments” or cures

  4. Those are SSDs – solid state drives. They cost a lot more than hard drives.

    Ans, they do not have as high of capacity as conventional drives although this is changing. Hence all the drives, which can actually make seek/write times faster, due to using RAID. One wonders what type / how many RAID SATA (I assume not SAS) controllers are in that rig.

  5. Marty: Well spotted!

    Indeed, since they never mention anything about crashes I assume they are working in full Windows Denialism Mode. (WDM) so we have to take this whole thing with a grain of salt.
