Re: Possible Hardware Problem???

Thanks. I was hoping hardware. I'm guessing the SSD went south. No reason for the OS to get corrupted - no changes except for patching.

Possible Hardware Problem???

Re: 24x7 weather computer

Self promotion :o Hey, when I think a product is well designed and implemented, I think it deserves some positive press. If it's a POS, it deserves the razzies as well.

:D Well, my FIT-PC2 arrived yesterday. I strapped in the 30GB OCZ SSD, Installed XP SP3, and had it fully configured with all the FIT-PC2 drivers and the 63 additional Microsoft updates inside of an hour. Needless to say I was IMPRESSED!

Re: 24x7 weather computer

One more question.

Which OCZ SSD would you recommend.

30GB Vertex or the Vertex Turbo (EX)? There's only about a $20.00 proce difference.

Re: Operating Temperature with SSD

Makes sense. You might want to clarify the temperature tolerance in your specs. I got confused. Others might as well. :?

Re: Distributors/Resellers for Fit-PC2i

Great!. I am looking for the 2GB, diskless model x 2.
If Amazon doesn't offer it, will I be able to order it direct?

Distributors/Resellers for Fit-PC2i

I read the press release about January 2010 availability. Where will the Fit-PC2i be available? Will it be available from Amazon or other USA resellers?

Re: Operating Temperature with SSD

:mrgreen:
Thanks for the clarification. I was worried.

Why the difference in heat tolerance between SSD & HDD?
