Is there a model identfier for SD memory? by GavinB
Does an SD memory card contain a unique identifier? Maybe it has something similar to the way a hard disk drive has a model number. I'm hoping I can insert my SD card into a memory reader on my PC and read off its exact model number. I want to get some more memory with a similar speed spec to...

WD15EADS grinding - hardware or firmware?? by BD
I recently bought a WD15EADS 1.5TB 'Green' disk made by Western Digital. I plugged it in, on a SATA docking unit that I use. I did some writing to it. After the write activity stopped, the heads kept on grinding. Even after I did a soft-disconnect of the drive and just left it plugged into the...
