We all remember the Slugfoot, especially at 3600 RPM. :) The issue here is the FF, not the speed. The WD should be OK in that department. Their 2-platter drives are usually faster than similar models from other makers.

Perhaps someone could make a 4TB SSD Bigfoot, but who would buy it?

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Aw, now it's coming out of my nose.

That Slav Leia character is around quite a bit. What are her powers?

I meant the apostrophe. :mrgrn:

Oh no. Merc will blow a fuse at Mark's last sentence. :lol:

Fujitsu and Hitachi reintroduced the 12.5mm notebook drive only a few years ago. Hitachi was most recent with the (166x3) 500GB drive.

Would you believe it if one of your employees claimed that their Blackberry fell in the toilet, forcing abandonment? Doesn't that sound suspicious? Hmmmmm.

I have three 500GB Samsung M6 drives in good working order. One of the first three drives exhibited bad sectors upon receipt, but its replacement was fine. POH hours are rather low, so I can't vouch for typical usage patterns.

I visited the Youtubes site once. The comments posted below the video box were truly horrifying. :pale:

I was asking the SD how many he could ID. ;) Oh, no double quotes?

Why, for the viewfinder? Doesn't the EOS 3 accept all the 1 series screens if indeed that is the reason?

It may be possible to use those drives in some PSDs if the cover is hanging out a bit. It's not worthwhile at the introductory prices, though.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: That one is from 2000 or 2001 - no rewind crank by then. ;) Have you figured out the others yet?

It depends on the lens. I used mechanical AF lenses for many years on manual focus bodies and often used MF on the early AF bodies that were not very good at AF. The better USM or AF-S lenses generally have a reasonable pitch for manual focus. The cheap little ones are more difficult to...

Perhaps the humongous notebooks from Alienwares will contain such models as a second drive.

Meh. I just want a 2-platter 640GB drive or whatever is for sale by mid-September. The 3-platter WD drives are too tall. Only Samsung has achieved 3 platters in the 9.5 mm height and it will probably be quite some time before they have a similar 1GB drive.

I know practically nothing.

All of the camera bodies should be identifiable except the one on the front right, which could be one of two models at that resolution. I don't know enough about the US version of the Rebels to be sure if other models are similar to the one in the photo. The film body is obvious. The 24 TSE...

The relatively recent cameras* are capable of decent UDMA performance, i.e., 30-35 MB/sec. with UDMA 4 cards. Some of them are capable of UDMA 6, but it is uncertain whether writing speeds will increase with faster cards. I guess we will find out soon as the faster cards reach to market...

Newegg has them already. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208498

Yes, but I was hoping to avoid that. I may check around the local stores. :( This is the closest to what I want found online, but it is rather bulky. Still, it could be used to replace a local table lamp or something and still use that in one of the taps. Why is electrical life so...

These 600x CF cards are interesting. I wonder when Sandisk will follow suit.

TIB files are not restorable from my WD 1.5 or 2TB drives with TI 2009. Have they worked for anyone? I have not done anything yet with the Samsung drive. Fortunately it was well-centered in the shipping box and in a clamshell.

It is very confusing. There are too many OCZ models. What kind of name is that, anyway? It is difficult to decide which is the better compromise in the MLC type. The X25-M II has better random writes, but much slower sequential writes compared to the Vortex described in the article...

I don't know about that last member to sign up today. :scratch: Joker or spammer?

I don't know anything about that scene, but it seemed to be up your alley. A lot of people on the internet claim to be "skinny and blond and have big boobs," until you meet them in person. :o

You have two of these? That's too costly for the performance.

No new X25-E. That seriously sucks. :(

Hey Merc, are you attending Comic-Con this year?

Several smaller, underdeveloped countries. There will be no time to buy anything at the destination, and I'd prefer a power strip that I can use in the long term.

I will use a versatile plug adapter for the input. We've had several incidents. :( It's not cool to blow out the power for multiple units.

So it is not a good idea to change the IP? The computer is connected to one remote outlet and then another remote outlet is plugged into that for the modem, etc. If the first outlet is turned off then of course everything is off, but sometimes I turn the second one off separately. Usually...

It's a very nice lens. IQ is as one expects from a fine macro, but not spectacular in OOF areas. AF is acceptable, but typically Sigma if that makes sense to you. I usually move the camera back and forth to focus at close distances or use a macro rail on a tripod. AF is more useful at...

Does anyone know where to get a reliable US 6-outlet, 3-prong power strip that is fine with 240VAC? Most of them have surge protection and or power indicators that can trip the breakers in foreign countries. A plastic body is preferred for lower mass. Thanks.

:eek4: It's not at all the same. Maybe you're doing something really weird in bed?

I turn the modem on and off almost every day. There is no router though, just a cheap switch, but it is on that same remote outlet.

Bleh. It is 5400 RPM and OEM.

It depends on whether you like eating hunks of dead animals or not.

Most of them can be identified by the shape or configuration, but a few are ambiguous. They are more obvious at larger scales.

It is only one drive.

Does that mean Linux will crash?

Sure, but Egg HD shipping is hit or miss. I ordered a few other items too, and I can just picture the drive at the bottom of a large box.

OEM would be the worst part.

OMG! I've never seen so many guys obsessed about a washer and dryer.

It is a commercial site, not SF.

I ordered one of these drives a while ago. Now the reviews indicate it is not a retail model and that the specs. are erroneous. :( Am I screwed? It's probably not worth the hassle of return shipping and the restocking fee.

Why does a website with a perfectly useable and efficient design, change it all around every few years. I can't find anything. :tdown:

I didn't see anything about the X25E. Will there be a faster one or just the same at a higer price?

If I had time or interest for doing that I would rather have found some lights. ;)
