Windows backup software by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
I've been using Macrium Reflect for a long time. A friend of mine wants
to start backing up his system disk, so I had suggested Macrium Reflect
to him as well. Don't want to keep using the Free Edition indefinitely,
so wanted to buy a license. Found out that the price of Macrium has gone
up...

What wears out in an HDD? by
Micky
What wears out in an HDD? Is it only the tone arm that breaks? or
can the bearings the platter rides on break??? Good watches use
jewels, rubies, as bearings; and cheap watches use metal. What do
hard drives use?
I googled but couldn't find much about this. Does the spindle really
ride on...

life of inactive old hard drive ? by
[email protected]
I had stored some drives from old PCs, removed about 1999-2000.
They were wrapped in anti-static bags, put in a metal box, which was
placed in a cool dry place.
My ex-wife wanted some data off one of those drives, but when I plugged
it in, it just went clunk, and I couldn't read it.
Disk diagnostic...

Seagate 6TB SATA drives -- ST6000DM001 vs. ST6000DX000 by
Percival P. Cassidy
I have some 6TB Seagate drives that were bought in their "retail
packaging" as STBD6000100, but the drives themselves are identified as
ST6000DX000.
The 6TB "bare" drives are advertised as ST6000DM001. (I don't have any
to check to see how they are identified internally)
Is there really any...

Error copying file with UDF on Windows 7 by
Justin[_14_]
I have a 16GB USB3 jump drive and I get the following error when
copying files off the drive. "The file name you specified is not valid
or too long. Specify a different file name"

gift horse 20 drives - only 40 TB by
[email protected]
Local community TV station announced they had got a new 40 TB server
due to a generous patron.
They put a photo of it in their office window. It has 20 drives.
So with RAID, that is probably 2.5 or 3 TB per drive.
Sounds like an old piece of junk and the donor is varnishing the truth.

Best format for USB flash drives nowadays? by
Ant
Let's ask comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage newsgroup as well. I'd assume
exFAT can do it, but not sure if non-computer devices can. I know all
can do FAT32.

WD black too hot to touch by

I was testing some Caviar black 2TB drives pulled from a failed pizzabox
server.
The first 2 passed okay. As it takes several hours for the long test, I left
one running overnight. When I got up, I found that Seatools was frozen
about 60% through. So I turned off, and tried to unplug that drive,...

Round SATA Cables = STIFF by
Ed Light
I ordered some round SATA cables thinking they'd be easy to route. No
dice. They are STIFF !!! In fact, to not try to snap off a motherboard
socket, they'd have to go straight up for a ways.
Just an FYI.
