hdtune - site broken? by
Terry Pinnell
I've sadly recently found evidence that one of my 60 GB Maxtor HDs is
at risk of failing. It's especially worrying as this 3-year old drive
contains my two most important partitions: C:, my Win XP Home OS and

my program files. The...

Mixing LBA28 and LBA48 on a single PATA channel by
Tom Anderson
Hi,
Is it possible to mix 28- and 48-bit LBA on a single ATA channel?
I have a machine with two channels; one carries a pair of CD drives, and
the other currently has an 80 GB hard drive. I haven't enabled LBA48 in
the OS, so i assume everything is using LBA28. I'd like to add a second
hard drive...

photography and possibly even videos, I expect that amount of storage
can grow quite a lot in the next few years.

Higher RPM hard drive questions by

I'm thinking about purchasing a higher RPM hard drive, but there are
two issues I'm considering:
1.) Does a higher RPM make a noticeable difference in starting
programs and running the OS? (most of my data will be on a larger,
slower drive).
2.) Is there any extra noise associated with a higher...

I replaced my laptop drive four months ago, just to increase speed
(7200 RPM) and capacity.
After I replaced the disk, I put the old one in an external case, tried
it a bit, copied files to and from, etc. and everything was fine. Then
I just left the case (with the disk) lying around.
