Yes, but SATA hdd's? The seek time and server capabilities arent that great on them, just because mb/s is high, doesnt mean that server performance (lots of read and write cycles) with be good too. My old 10k 9.1gb atlas III beats out my maxtor wd2500ks, and the WD2500 has tons of reviews on newegg saying its fast. 15k=seektime. But if you were to use SATA, I would say use these: http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/bi...star/p7k500/HGST_Deskstar_P7K500_DS_FINAL.pdf
The 500gig serial ata's w/2 gen perpendicular recording. Their previous 500gb models bench @ 12mb/s windows xp startup, and are fluent through HUGE queue depths.

So can we donate money for bandwidth or money for HDD's or a better pic server? :rasta:

It's not always a good idea to spend more money.

With the price of a 15k Scsi hard disk i can buy 6 SATA harddisk and place them in raid 05 (2 arrays of 3 HD in raid 5+the arrays itselfs in raid 0), wich are way faster, safer and more reliable tha a single 15k HD.

15k are for people who don't have space, or need REALLY HIGH performance. Way higher than the ones from a server like icmag.

Also, if ICMAG is running on a 64 bit processor, with the same money you can buy GIGS of ram or place cache on the raid controller, and using a virtual disk you can keep permanently the images on ram. Wich is WAY FASTER than a 15k HD.

It has been a bit quieter around here but I'm sure it'll pick up again when photo uploading is reinstated. I'm certainly not going anywhere else :D

perchance with this new update will there be new skins available, so i can get rid of the green cannabis background and make it a little more work safe? i would love to just have a plain looking site that anyone who peeks over my shoulder wouldnt be able to tell exactly what im doing? i hate nosey ass people..

Co-signed. As a security measure, there should be access to a "lo-fi" text-only version, as well as vague skins. I have no problem viewing the gorgeous cannabis canopy at home, but I do travel with my laptop and log in from time to time, and this would be a great help!

Thanks for making this entire site possible, Gypsy! You've enriched the lives of countless cannabis warriors around the planet!

I miss a feature from the Overgrow days... When you posted to a thread, a link to that thread would show up on your user cp page automatically. I think the last 5 threads you posted in were available in this way.

This made it easy for posters to keep up with the thread, instead of what we have here, now... you either have to subscribe to it, or go looking for it manually to catch up with a thread. Having those last 5 threads you posted to right there in your user cp page was an awesome feature.

CC- like the My Posts feature in the User CP? Thats what I usually use to keep track of the threads I have recently posted in.

I know about the place to check on the last threads I posted to, but what I liked about the OG format was that it popped up on your user pc page automatically. This way you could see the latest activity in the thread without having to go to another page. Maybe this is possible here and I never knew it? I can't find any option here to do what I'm talking about.

I do this by looking for all post by me? that basically the asme thing you want shows your last ten posts; so with our upgrade we get any cool new features :)?
