My hard drive crashed so I brought it to JH Computers to see what they could do. I was told that they would need to reformat but before they do I would need to download all the files I needed from it. Since my tower was dismatled and not working anyways, the tech told me to buy the USB to SATA/IDE cable and connect my hard drive to any other computer so the files I wanted could be downloaded. T...
I own two of these, one is in my desktop, the other in an external enclosure. I've had them for 2 years now. I had one die on me shortly after purchasing it. Western digital fixed it without any issures, in fact, western digital is awesome in that you can advance rma it- meaning they ship you a new one prior to you sending yours in. In this way you are without a hd for far less time. This i...
"Maxtor Basics, SATA II/300 Internal Hard Drive Kit"
I upgraded to this Sata drive from an old IDE drive. On my first reboot to windows (after it was installed to this new drive) my system booted up lightning fast. Never have I seen such a speed increase (except from a new processor) in a computer. The boot up and shutdown times increased dramatically - if you have an old and slow IDE drive (3200 RPM) then this drive will show a huge increase i...
The Western Digital Line is a consumer aimed 10K rpm SATA drive that gives great performance for an equally great price. Upon my new computer build, I decided to splurge and see if the extra 2800 rpms compared with the regular 7200rpm offerings was worth it. At first, the main thing you'll notice with the drive is it makes more noise than your usual HD. It makes sounds when its &...

"Masscool External Enclosure"
This review is for a hard drive enclosure. It holds any drive equal to or smaller then the standard desktop drive (3.5"). It seems to do decently at transfering away heat as it never becomes real hot to the touch, which is why I bought an all-alluminum one.Build Quality is only so-so, the drive fits fine, but the screws to attach to drive stick out a little far meaning there are basically ...
I've been using Western digital caviar hard drives in my computers ever since windows 98 was on the shelfs.These are very quiet and reliable hard drives that work for a variety of things. The first thing I noticed about these hard drives is how quiet they are, this hard drive is so quiet you will forget it's even running.And I had no problem setting this up either, as soon as you hook t...

The western digital 320 gb hard drive is very good and really cheap. At the time about 3 weeks weeks ago this hard drive was priced at a very reasonable $56. Now things are cheaper but that's the way technology goes. It has a 320GB space which is plenty of space for downloading a good amount of music/videos/programs/etc. It also has 5400rpm and 8mb buffer which isn't the bes...
When i was buying my desktop i was offered to choose a hard drive from some on the table. I choose the hitachi harddisk. Hitachi is today at a lead in manufacturing hard drives. The hard disk i bought was of capacity 80b and had a rotation speed of 7200rpm, same as others. I found the hard disk to be very useful since my purchase. The first thing that i observed was during the install...
This Samsung drive is a newer SATA model off www.newegg.com . This is the first SATA burner I have installed and used personally, but it is the best I have EVERY used. It is fast. I can write a DVD in under a minute sometimes. This thing burns DVDs, CDs, plays DVDs, CDs, and every disc format besides Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.The looks of this Burner are nice. It is pertty slim (slim for a 5.25" ...
Great value & performance. This drive has excellent power savings over other drives currently on the market. While not the fastest drive, the performance is more than adequate for any typical PC user other than hardcore gamers and business power users. Also a great drive to upgrade your TiVo's storage capacity. I used this drive to upgrade my TiVo HD unit. The stock drive is only 160gb ...
I bought this board because I needed a cheap upgrade for my computer, and had VERY little money. I bought this with a Pentium 4 3.4ghz chip and an ATI Radeon x1650 PRO 512mb and 1gb RAM. This board is amazing. It booted up great, recognized everything, and ran great. All the connectors are great and it is very spaced out. Supports 4 SATA devices, one PCI-E x16 card, 4gb of DDR2 533/400 RAM...
