Author Topic: How many labels does it take to double the thickness of a CRU bay?

Seriously guys, do you not understand that you can't just keep slapping new labels on top of the old labels? Don't be so lazy. The drives will get jammed into the CRU bays with a bunch of labels stuck on top of older labels like that. Complaining to you doesn't work, so maybe pointing this out publicly will make some sort of difference.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 11-24-2013 02:33 PM                        I had one the other day where the label on top of the pile started to peel back when I pulled it out of the bay; got bits of label stuck on the little roller wheels, which I had a bit of a chore to clean off. I'm thinking that I'll have to start tearing the labels off before putting them into the machine in the future if they're in that condition.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-24-2013 06:27 PM                        Doesn't really need a label at all, just a permanent serial number. The movie name and the number could go on to the box shipping label, and the booth person can match the number to the drive when repacking. We're already dealing with stupid "code names" anyway so it's pretty close to the same thing.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-24-2013 07:01 PM                     A sticker is not bad, serial numbers only create too much work. If only they would use easy-off stickers. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 11-24-2013 07:12 PM                     Or maybe they could use rewritable labels?  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 11-25-2013 12:38 AM                     What gets me is when the sticker is applied half to the drive caddy itself and half to the USB dock - so you have to break the sticker to put the caddy in the server.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-27-2013 01:57 PM                        I always tear the stickers off when I put the drives in. The real bitch is when the screws are coming loose out of the carriage. I always double check the screws before I put any of the drives in now after getting one stuck on a loose screw.  |  IP: Logged
