Sandisk Cruzer Drill Drill Drill by
ben_k
Sandisk, in it's infinite wisdom, didn't include any way to attach
their Cruzer Mini drives to something like a keychain (the lanyard
doesn't count). I've seen some references to drilling a hole in the
Micro version, but the Minis have that LED on the end, and I'm afraid
of damaging...

Seagate SATA woes and curses by
berk walker
I have 3 ST3120026AS drives, and they, for me, suck. The power and data
connectors are weaker than the cables that connect to them . I even had a connector locating tab break
off .

the trash and buy WD ... or...

Corrupted MBR -Regular occurrence by
Bernard
Hi group,
I've had to format my hard drive around 6 times in the past 6 months
because of a corrupted MBR.
Initially, a few runs of CHKDSK in the recovery console and a running
FIXMBR has fixed the problem for a couple of months only to have the
same problem happen again.
Thinking it was the...

Real performance hit from acoustic management? by
Bert Hyman
I noticed that my new Maxtor drive had acoustic management enabled
(mid-range, 0xC0) and I spent the afternoon trying to find a utility to
turn it off, finally finding one from Hitachi.
I've got 3 HDs, a CDRW and a DVDRW plus about 5 fans in my machine, so a
little actuator noise isn't going to be...

Simulate eject of eSATA disk by disabling it? by
Bert Hyman
Windows XP Pro SP3
My system doesn't have support for "hot swapping" eSATA, so there's no
eject or "safely remove" option.
Is disabling an eSATA disk a safe alternative? Will the OS and disk
internal cache be flushed?

IDE to USB? by

Can anyone recommend an adapter that would allow me to connect a spare
