:bleh:I'm more concerned about cleaning.

That is not bright enough to illuminate a damned thing. ;) :porc:

I think it is simply time to get the 17 TS-E. The front element is scary though. :bsmurf: Did you not study physics sufficiently in school?

...but not on a video conference.:bounce:

I almost chose a roll paper printer a few years ago, but decided it was not for me. Besides the obvious cost and size issues: 1. Most large printers don't print on small cut sheets so a second printer is needed, preferably with the same inkset. 2. Choices in paper are rather limited; many...

70-80 MB/sec. is fine for copying files from a single drive to another. You'll only achieve 100+ on empty drives for large, sequential transfers. Do disk benchmarks such as HDTach, Atto and HD Tune return typical results?

Yes, but the market is now mostly aerospace. At least they use Cannon connectors rather than the wretched 9-pin FW type. USB 3 will take over from FW800 in the consumer market. I used FW extensively in the early-middle 2000s and typically achieved 40MB/sec. from FW400 vs. 75MB/sec. for FW800.

TMI :bigeek:

There are no failures, though I may redo a few later. Paper is $3-5 per sheet and each 80mL ink is $50 or so. They are supposed to be more economical than the inks in smaller printers, but almost everything from the project is printed larger than was typical a few years ago. :cheese:

Printing is killing me. Over $200 in a few hours and weekend is far from over.

There are ways to save money and ways to enjoy spending it, but refrigerator lights are not on either list. :elephant:

The cost of the replacement LED is still prohibitive. CFL is a poor solution for a reefer.

Hitachi was fine with ... 400GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB 5-platter drives for highest capacity in the class. It is their way.

Backups?

Compatibility is always crap beyond basics. That is the way it is. Nothing new.

Well, you can buy just one first. :cyclopsani:

I have determined that the crash occurs a few hundred ms after the Desktop starts. It is probably some goofy app loading.

I was expecting early next year, but it is not surprising in any event. I'll have to build a new computer. :(

50MB sec is about half of what a new notebook HD can achieve. The older drives had less sophisticated caches as well. I abandoned my old notebooks for another reason though, the 2GB RAM limit.

Of course I have others. You know I would never, never post from a business computer. After a while it resets itself.

The older PATA notebook drives were slow for sure. It's too bad they topped out at 320GB (160 GB/platter). The 7200 RPM drives were even older technology. :(

Locked out of the computer... :mad:

A refrigeration unit usually moves more heat energy than is required to operate. I don't know the actual efficiency, but 100WH may move 500WH for example. Of course the heat ends up in the surrounding room, which is another issue.

Greg, you just discovered the 44-pin notebook drive? I hope you don't have to work with 1.8" drives with a half a dozen different connectors. :bravo:

That would use more juice than the light. ;)

:D The economics of that light are not good. It would require hundreds of years to recoup the electricity.

I have 8, but rarely use it. Some of the claims are laughable. Is 10 more bloated?

Why should the cable matter? I have cables from 500GB era drives that work on 2TB drives just fine. Do you have other controllers to use the drives with?

Bummer. I'm having flashbacks to the 1970s. At least there are no CRTs to implode and slice into your back. :(

Then there is the X25-M price effect. :cyclop:

Do they show up that way in the BIOS? A 1TB drive should be displayed as 931GB and a 2TB drive as 1.81 TB.

429 lumens is not so good for 9W is it? :) I think they have a ways to go. You can buy a case of CFLs for $16.

Tonsils. My organs were removed nearly 50 years ago.

After the first one, the second one is not so bad. I have no tonils. Perhaps that is a difference.:porc:

My suspicion is that price is inversely proportional to stock qty. :cat:

The economics must make sense for Hitachi or it would not be the business model.

The newer Samsung 2TB drive does not cause the indicator to remain lit. It is curious. It is tempting to buy more, yet I know that 3TB WD drives will be here soon enough.

Does it sleep and turn off the backlight when power savings are set in the OS?

:roll: Of course MD was not that specific.

I'd love to have one of those. Maybe someday...

Hitachi has more platters. They were first to achieve 500GB, 1TB and 2TB 7200 RPM drives. If others have 4x750GB this year, then Hitachi should be able to reach 5x800GB next year.

The actions required to reasonably achieve the prerequisite of image capture would be against medical advice. It is a peculiar situation.

So this time the Robot Egg recommended a Thermaltakei BlacX, an assortment of three i7/i5 CPUs, and AutoCad LT. One out of five. :)

It's laziness for those that cannot write.

In the middle of the day seek subjects in the shade.

:dunno: I am not allowed to do that.

Samsung will be bringing up the rear. ;) I'm not sure aboujt Hitachi. They may skip 3TB for 4TB.

That is not new. It's done frequently for astrophotography. Of course they chose an extreme example that required significant levels correction.

I am uncertain as to why the rabbit appeared.

Other brands will achieve the same capacity in similar timeframes. I'm surprised that WD is not first, and they well may be first to the shelves. What is that white rabbit for?
