Are there any utility applications that allow efficient copying from one drive to any two target drives simultaneously? Of course two concurrent Windows copying operations from one source drive are uselessly slow. Thanks.

It is probably 4.6% of the former and 95.4% of the latter.

I though about that, but hauling around two notebooks is not feasible.

Thanks, but that does not solve the PSD issue. If the notebook fails, both drives would be inaccessible.

Why is vastness difficult to comprehend? Is it any more difficult than comprehending molecular modeling where the goal is to change a moiety by a fraction of a nm? That is why log scales are an everyday part of life. ;)

Of course. The reverse curve of the shadow on the moon is a dead giveaway. ;)

The first image is nice, but the second one does nothing for me.

Yes, but why?

I can't wait for Q4 2005, only July 31. The 100GB drives are too small for comfort since they hold less than 6000 frames in a PSD or around 5000 frames in a notebook with a few applications installed. In a PSD the 5400.2s have good battery life but poor performance for some reason.

Awesome - just what I really need! :D What do you all think about realistic availability? Will other HD manufacturers have 120GB notebook drives available for mortals by the end of Q2?

D'oh! I have been blocking so long that I almost forgot. BTW, does anyone notice anything unusual about the moon? ;)

Well, there is nothing wrong with not using the avatar. I never use one and sometimes block the avatars of others.

So Samsung has now matched the drive capacity other brands had 2 years ago? Yawn.

This is about my speed. :D

I don't know enough to make an informed judgement.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That IRiver is a bigger beast, not really in the same ultraportable category.

I once upgraded my Fujitsu from XP to XPP. It was fine, but a couple of the default drivers were overwritten and had to be downloaded.

Maybe there is something missing here, but even in some of the most isolated and unusual places I don't receive any mystical vibes. And I am well-traveled. Having visited all seven continents, I have seen some amazing events in nature.

Sorry that was so poorly phrased. :o It is well past my bedtime.

:?: Now you have me confused, Tony. I assumed that Jameson was in reality a professional pornographer based on Mercutio's predilection. However, you seem to imply that her role in the game is as a prostitute. Is that the case? Maybe Merc can explain the function of the game more clearly.

I resisted the urge to type the woman's name in Google, but I can guess her profession. :) With my hopeless social skills, I would probably strike out in the virtual game anyway. ;)

Well, kids always want to be different. ;) It's all nonsense to me and fortunately I've no need to learn the current lingo. I did download the list of internet acronyms from teenangels.org in the past and found it to be useful.

Sometimes evolution needs a little kick in the ass, so why not?

Wow, those Shuffles sure are small! The display must be miniscule. I was asking because I purchased the Muvo in November. I don't think the Shuffles were out yet. It is too bad that is has a rechargeable battery.

Cool. Too bad it was not closer to Earth.

How does the Ipod Shuffler compare to the MUVO TX FM?

I missed most of the winter (at least the snow) so far. A few weeks in Africa and a few weeks in LA helps. ;)

Are we voting or did I miss something?

...bringing a whole new meaning to a hard drive crash, I presume. It is just more crap to malfunction after a few years.

I don't see anything on my computer. It must be out of date.

How do they compare to the bite of the brown recluse we have around here in the US?

$50 for any browser should be enough.

So it won't be blister packed and on the shelf?

Gary, ROTFLMAO! That takes me back some years. How do you remember with such detail - are they on tape? :o

New thread. http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4441 Can somebody please delete these errant posts? Sorry.

I just returned from Africa after 2 weeks, shooting only 5047 frames. The slow conversion speed is killing me, about 27 hours for straight 24-bit 16.6 megapixel images. Ugh! I hope the computer does not explode, after 18 hours the CPU is up to 56° C. Why does RAW file conversion have to be so...

Ah, crap that should have been a new thread.

Brilliant. When HGST has decided that future microdrives are best suited to embedded applications, WD starts making them in CF II format. I can just see someone with a 300D at DPR crying that he/she lost 3000 JPG files. ;)

Hmm. The probe seemed to last only 90 min. I guess that was planned. There were no scaly monsters walking around - too bad. ;)

I think 2.5" desktop drives will be the future, eventually.

It is not that interesting and I have no use for such puny drives. A prospective buyer asked me to find out as I still have a reputation of being the hard drive expert . :lol:

Most of the CUSA branded drives are Maxtors, but this is different. I also don't think Maxtor makes ATA-100 drives anymore.

Who makes this US Logic drive? Thanks.

The Extreme III is here! Naturally they became available at B&H one day after I ordered a 4GB Ultra II, but I ordered 2x2GB Extreme III as well. I can only get about 10.6-10.8 MB/sec reads. I hope there are some compact CF 3 readers available soon to take advantage of the high speeds. An...

NewEgg is renowned for terrible OEM hard drive packaging. I once received a drive with one side right against the box. they did not even use bubble wrap. I only order retail drives from NewEgg. Zipzoomfly hard drive packaging is very good. ;)

I'm not sure what you don't like about the 7200.8, but 800GB in two 3.5" bays for a total of less than $500 was very appealing to me. ;) I don't have a vomit box. I use a regular 10-bay tower.

I voted for Seagate because between Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi and Maxtor it is the only brand I have used that has been trouble-free. I have not seen any Samsungs drives for sale in the US excepting some on-line stores (OEM?).

So is this unit basically a squished and folded notebook without a keyboard?
