18 Mar 2010Eurocom’s D900F has always been a powerhouse workstation notebook, but now they’ve really outdone themselves by managing to get an Intel Core i7 980X, a six-core processor, inside their newest iteration. The rest of the notebook is pretty impressive, too, with a top-of-the-line graphics card and enough RAM to run a server.

Those who order the Eurocom D900F will either be able to choose between the Core i7 processor the Xeon W5600 processor. The display is a big 17-inch display that’ll come with either a WUXGA or WSXGA max resolution. You can order a D900F with up to 24GB of DDR3 memory – that’s right, 24GB of RAM on a notebook (although it’ll add over $2,000 to the cost).
Other options include either a CAT-oriented graphics card like the NVIDIA Quadro or the consumer-oriented GeForce series cards. (They’ll be offering the Quadro FX 3800 and GeForce GTX 285, respectively). It’ll come with a whopping 12-cell battery (even with that, don’t plan a long trip. These are desktop-grade components.) and weighs in at 5.4kg, so it’s a pretty thick notebook. The notebooks have room for four hard drives, and offers RAID 0, 1 and 5.
Obviously, Eurocom is pushing the D900F as a desktop replacement notebook. It’s certainly powerful enough. Some have actually speculated that it could be used as some sort of mobile server.
Pricing for these powerful notebooks start at $2,977 and they go upward from there quickly. The $3k base configuration doesn’t even include an operating system installed, either.
Eurocom’s D900F notebook is now shipping from their website.

That is high. Return it if possible or take it in to have it diagnosed.
The link below is talking about the external temps. The internal would most definitely be higher, but I can't find much on this issue. So maybe you should check the external temps and compare with their test.
"Temperature
Despite the compact design, the fan can apparently ensure a sufficient air flow inside the case. So, the heating of the surfaces is very limited.
We recorded a maximum of about 34.7 °C for the top side of the base unit. The bottom side got slightly warmer, but a maximum of 41.2 °C is still alright."

RAID 0 is striping. RAID 1 is mirroring. READ 0+1 is striping and mirroring. You need at least 4 drives.

in a raid 0 you will need to duplicate the data onto another raid (or single HDD) first. Raid 0 distributes data between multiple disks with no parity (meaning if you break your raid, you are going to lose all of your data)
To answer your question, in raid 0 it doesnt matter what size you replace the disk with, just make sure you backup your data before you do so
Oh yah.. you better do it quick before the drive fails, while there are recovery tools to get your data, once the failing drive goes, so does your raid, along with your data.
For future reference, I would recocmend Raid 5.
Raid 5 requires at least 3 disks (best to make them the same size). The best part of raid 5 is that if one of the drives fails, you simply replace it, rebuild the raid, and your good to go without any data loss whatsoever.
The best thing about raid 0 to remember is 0 is the amount of data you can recover if it fails
Hope this helps!
