Re: [cobalt-users] Qube3 - Speed Increase

[Sonny Taite <sonny@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have also tested replacing the (Qube3) Hard Drive with a new Western
Digital 40gb 7200rpm HDD.

1. Replace HDD
2. Run restore procedure
3. Run hdparm instruction

This is a nice little package used together. (sorry can't comment on the RaQ
models, although somebody might like to try it as a test....... 7200rpm is
better that 5400rpm....)


hdparm link again:
