I see it is now 10 against including my vote. I guess not much controversy here. Thanks for working on all the little things, Doug.

I don't care for it either. If allowed to vote I would vote against it.

Are there any drive diagnostic tools that run in Windows? I need to fully check some USB 2.0 drives. It appears that the Seagate tools wants to create a bootable disk or CD that only runs from some kind of DOS. Thanks

Greg, it is not just the small drives such as 7200 RPM. All notebook drives have been dropping in price. For example the 160GB Seagate was $355 a few months ago and is now only $215. Of course price decline is a routine trend in storage history, but may be steeper in 2006 than in 2005 as...

Dog? :o

Those Zeons are good for everything, eh? ;) Of course if you are dying in the summer heat (108-110 °F) and electricity rates have gone through the roof, it does not seem like a good idea. :(

Yikes, this new version creates a lot of difficulties! There is so much wasted space, huge line amd columns spacing, so much scrolling, etc. I hope the normal people like it and it works out for you though.

One could assume that Seagate already has a plan for that. ;) Perhaps it uses a tiny laser that heats only the area that needs to be written.

Doesn't all that plastic make you sweaty? And what happens to the hosed water?

Presumably although "The Seagoto has dorpped in price liek the rock!" :D the 200GB drive would be closer in price to the early 160GB drives.

250GB :o How can there be so much available? What do you have Merc, 50TB by now?

I think the Hitachi has only been made available very recently, but the Seagate has been out for several months.

A prime is another word for a single focal length lens.

Has anyone used the Hitachi HTS541616J9AT00 160GB notebook drive? I wonder if it is preferred over the Seagate equivalent.

Especially for David this is a really bad idea. :(

OK, now I get it. :) I suppose this is some sophomoric humor by some of the copyright infringement criminals or supporters.

Have you tried golf? I think one can learn more about a person by playing 18 holes than when climbing rocks (not mountains), but maybe that is just me. Many people are struck by lightning on the courses each year. Also, there is plenty of physics involved and the wind is certainly an element.

You have some sort of death wish?

If only I could find an internal USB port...

What wild events occurred last night? The site was full of errors again.

Wild? Nah, that sounds pretty typical - for you. :D

I am not small business guy nor have an independent like many of you.

You IT people are lucky to get some perks... :)

...must resist urge to comment...

Maybe you can run several cards in RAID 0. :)

ROTFLMAO!

They have been in the US for a while now even in retail stores.

That would probably be after there are 1TB drives. It won't be too long really. I would like to see some 600GB drives as well.

Now the 750GB SATA drives are $435 and the PATA drives are $490. I wonder how much further prices will drop by September.

You misinterpret my emoticons. I am simply a bit shocked by all the details. Must be my age, but women did not all talk about that sort of thing. I suppose toys have been around for years. I certainly never saw any in the dishwasher; that's for sure!

The boots are green not the ellie.

:o :oops:

And whatever happened to Gary?

Yikes! What happens when glass breaks?

:mrgrn: Wow that is a horribly slow drive! A CF card can read at >20 MB/sec. reads and write almost as fast. Maybe the flash drives are useful for industrial/scientific purposes, but I doubt many consumers are standing in line to buy one. I wonder how fast Windows XP boots on flash compared...

Can I have eggs with that spam?

That's all too computerese for me to figure out. The EFIX data is long gone by the time I flatten a typical 5-10 layer file and "save for the web."

Howell=cliptin? I did not know that. And how does that page know which camera was used?

I don't think the memory can become loose since it is installed on a PCB.

Ok, how about this? They seem to be $500. :(

The problem is crappy customer relations, not Acrobat. Unfortunately it is more and more the norm. At least the Canon manuals are still downloadable, but they are watermarked with "COPY" so printed versions are difficult to read. Do they think people would be printing the manuals and selling...

:D

:D

I wish it could process 16 RAW files at one time. :mrgrn:

But do they get as much...? ;)

Apparently Hitachi has 500GB in a 3-platter design now. One hopes the T7K500 is cooler and quieter than the current 500GB drive. I'd rather have 4x150GB if some manufacturer could manage that.

:D

No. I found that out in '77.

Merc is the most extroverted introvert yet. :)
