Hello. What's a good external HDD to get these days for Windows (2000 SP4 (9x might be needed though) to the latest), Mac OS X (10.2+ to latest), and Linux? It will mainly be for storage/backups and carrying between places with multiple computers so I'd like it to be light and small. It doesn't...

Can high voltage from power supply damage harddrive? by mm
I just talked to my friend who gave me the Dell computer, and he said that his repair guy told him the reason his harddrive failed may (likely?) have been a surge or something coming from the power supply. Is this a cause of harddrive failure? A common cause? A conceivable cause but really a...

Enterprise versus "consumer" grade drives by miso
I haven't built a PC with hard drives in a few years and I have to say I am amazed at the hard drive market. First of all, it seems everyone bought everyone else. Samsung went to Seagate. Hitachi went to WD. Fujitsu went to Toshiba, which is presume is waiting to go elsewhere. Well now I can...

Old made in Japan 4x CD-Rs OK at 24x ? by larry moe 'n curly
Is it normal for 5-year-old Taiyo Yuden and Ricoh CD-R disk rated for 4x to burn reliabily at 24x ? Nero must have misread or ignored their maximum speed ratings and burned them at 24x (drive is Acer/BenQ 48x16x48), but they verify fine and are readable even in an ancient CD-ROM drive that has...

So one of my oldest SSD's just finally had a bad misfire. One of its memory cells seems to have gone bad, and it happened to be my boot drive, so I had to restore to a new SSD from backups. That took a fair bit of time to restore, but the new drive is twice as large as the old one, but it...
