AI Thread Summary
The SATA-II Toshiba HDWD110 Internal HDD is likely compatible with both the Foxconn H61 MX motherboard and the HP Compaq Elite 8200 SFF PC, as both systems support SATA connections. Compatibility with operating systems is generally determined by the file systems used, with Windows supporting NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT, while Linux and macOS have their own respective file systems. Although a ten-year-old HDD can function with a ten-year-old motherboard, there is no guarantee of performance, especially if the drive has been inactive for an extended period. Users are encouraged to test the drive to confirm compatibility and functionality, as theoretical compatibility may not always translate to practical use.

I am asking if a SATA -II TOSHIBA HDWD110 Internal HDD Storage Device software is compatible with a FOXCONN H61 MX Motherboard with Celeron 6 1610 2.6 GHz Processor PC ? or if a SATA -II TOSHIBA HDWD110 Internal HDD Storage Device software is compatible with a HP COMPAQ ELITE 8200 SFF PC Motherboard with intel core i5 2400 Processor PC ?

What have you discovered about the HDD storage device?

I would suspect the manufacturer's website would describe its capabilities and supported OS platforms that they have written device drivers for.

It seems there is filesystem support for:

• Windows: Typically NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT.
• Linux: ext4, ext3, XFS, Btrfs, etc.
• macOS: APFS, HFS+.
 
Will a ten year old drive work in a ten year old motherboard? Probably. Will someone guarantee that it will? Probably not.

To add: if your drive hasn't been in use for years, it might not work when plugged in, even if "compatible". These do not last forever.
 
The theory is 'yes'.
Now, you should start experimenting.

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...

Thread 'Cooling a processor chip'

I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
