I don't have much to add, but you can't do much in a rental. Get a good conditioning UPS or two.

Antivirus dude is nuts or what?

You're still using that old technology? :D Maybe try a 3960X or if speed is more important that number of cores, then ivy stone bridges?

There is nothing wrong with the 1D-X. It is disappointing to many users for what it is not. Certainly it is a step up from the 1D III that you have, but some people keep their 1D IV as well.

Your English is quite good, so there is no reason to fuss over a word or two. :)

100% more frustrating. I played +8 myself at the the store and it's awful. It's like A giant cell phone. :(

This drive is damned goofy. :geek:

Hopefully the last president I ever see anyways.

"Past times include: buying and selling drugs and related paraphernalia, using drugs as well." Not funny at all. Around here sales is usually a serious charge.

So the Intel is a section of the 910 in a drive?

There is nothing amusing at all. Idiots like that should be in prison if the statements can be believed.

What stuff? I'm not the one with the hypersensitive olfactory. Anyway, the post was in the wrong forum. :oops:

The drive is labeled 7K1000-1000, made in the Thailands in Sept 2012. It has the advancing format.

I don't recall the 1TB 7200 RPM mobile drive being announced, but it is already here. Dopes anyone use this drive yet?

I don't smell anything around the legs. Perhaps there is a little something nearer the top, but my sense of smell is not the greatest. It seems that you may be rather sensitive. It is probably inherent and there is nothing that can be done. :(

They were 139 in the store. Now when will Seagate add a fourth platter?

If you want less choices, and pracically no upgradability, then buy the new Macs. :)

Not me, but maybe others that don't have orthopedic issues. Merc can tell us what his T520 weighs, but I bet it is 8lbs. with all the batteries. I'm a big fan of smaller and lighter being better. My Fujitsu can do a rated 14 hours with the bay battery that brings the weight to 3.5 lbs...

Sorry about the cat, but I'm glad you did not have expensive property damage like so many.

Where do you need to run a computer for such a long time without power? Even when I am in a tented camp in Africa, there is some power available every day or two.

I'm sure it is not heavy at all with the 9-cell pack and the big battery slice. :erm:

Yes, and it is always a working day.

Yes. IIRC his elderly mother is living there so they may have taken up temporary residence elsewhere if power is still out. I know some people in NJ and NY have days or weeks left to wait for restoration. The fuel situation is a cluster**** too.

I don't know that he has a laptop or smartphone, so it may be a power issue as well as the obvious priority issue.

I would add more RAM after purchase, and an SSD if budget allows. The SSD makes a huge difference over a hard drive.

Just wait for the Surfactant 2. :)

Buy what you need now.

The egg shipping buggers the mind. Two cheap 18" cables were packaged in a large box with tons of paper and then a 400+ SSD in a flimsy padded envelope with no signature required. Bozos.

The Lenovo is upright, which is causing all the problems.

Thanks, I never knew that name. Does anyone know if you have a small disk and insert it into the vertical slot, will it fall out? I assume a small disk in a Veronica tray will fall out.

It's about 170MB/Sec. :(

I don't normally measure transfer rates USB 3.0 at all. Maybe in jictins or milimeters?

Copy speed from internal SSD to external USB SSD is only 10GB/minute. :( Is that a normal limit of USB 3.0?

Well yes, but maybe a ghost of Job on iTunes was at work.

It looks like Apple fired the guy in charge of the os and maps.

Samsung now has an 800GB drive, but of the 15mm thickness SAS variety. SM1625.

If the drive supports encryption it only requires a small portion to be overwritten, not every data cell.

You have it correct. I have some configured one internal and one external.

How many can you reject without being penalized?

Well it should last a good long while if it is anything like the previous Japanese notebooks. I Have two from 2008 and even one from 2003 that still work fine. The oldest one has a dead battery, but that is to be expected.

I would probably use the boot drive for ~1000 hours assuming the notebook lasts until 2016-2017. Most likely I would change it out in a year or so. The main thing is that I can't afford to suffer from BSOD or other nightmare in the field. I would probably destroy the drive if it were not...

He's in Flushing, Queens IIRC.

I see that the price for the 512GB Samsung 830 in $ is about the same as the capacity in GB. Is there any drive better and more reliable than the Samsung today?

I have one from the store and it works fine.

I meant something like this one.

I don't know how that happened. There is something not quite right going on here, but I cannot put my finger on it. :dunno:

I need the 2.5" FF for the notebook, but it can be 9.5mm in height. The Samsung 840 drive series is disappointing in that the max capacity is only 512GB, although all the chips are on one side of the board. I don't think space is the issue. My other option is to buy two 512GB drives or one...

Can you live within commuting distance of work and be closer to a more personally productive locale?

It looks like the 7.7' type is only from the carriers. I guess the Nexus is the one. I hope to find it at retail in November.

If they made 1TB SSDs, people would buy them.
