Extended offline Completed: read failure by
Tom Del Rosso[_4_]
SMART long test shows 90% remaining, but also 9 Current Pending Sectors (was
3 before the test). Does that mean 10% of the sectors are bad, or only 9?
And what do you use to read stubborn sectors?

Defragging a GPS internal flash storage? by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
Hi, a couple of people I know just bought the same model of GPS receiver
(big one-day sale at a local retailer). Now, they have noticed that it
has horrible performance, it takes forever to find any Points of
Interest (POI's), among many other things to do with searching on it. So
I did some...

Any good internal memory card readers? by
Ant[_3_]
Hello.
Is it me or are those desktop IBM PCs' internal memory card readers
really bad? I owned two of them (cost $15 IIRC) so far. Their big
CompactFlash/CF memory card reader slots' pins keep getting bent every
time I insert an old memory card. I even do it slowly and softly.
I did not have...

cloning with Macrium Reflect Free by

I've been using Macrium Reflects (free version) to do
some cloning of single-partition Windows 7 OSes from
one drive to single partitions on another drive. The

tell Reflect to include the boot sector or the MBR as well.

cloning Vista/Win7/Win8 by
Timothy Daniels[_4_]
When starting up a clone of Vista/Win7/Win8 for the
FIRST TIME, is it OK to let the clone see its "parent" OS?
For WinNT/2K/XP that was a no-no that could lead
to loss of random files. Does that danger still exist?

Surprising Seagate 3.5" HDD specs. by

than the "bare drive" versions with the same capacity (at such vendors

Trick to installing a PATA 3.5 inch HD into a drive caddy? by

I have a drive caddy with one SATA bay and one bay for either a 2.5

installing SATA drives or 2.5 inch IDE drives in it but I just can
not seem to get my 3.5 inch IDE drive in it. I think it is because

My theory regarding the high price of 4TB drives by
miso
Well the price did improve, though not to the level before the Thailand
floods.
My theory is the NSA Prism program is sucking up the supply of 4TB
drives. While this may sound far fetched, if you look at the history of
the U-2 spy plane, it used a fuel similar to an oil used to kill
mosquitoes...
