QuoteExpect the 750GB model they tested to hit the streets for about $590, or $0.79/GB, which isn't really that bad.
Wow, if PC world has reveiw samples these things are really close to market.
Should really drive down the price of smaller, umm 300 and 400 GB drive ;)
Terabyte here I come!
Quote13. I pity the foo' who has to run scandisk!
Also it is a good idea to have Defrag set on a regular schedule. It takes WAY too long to run once you have really fragmented the drive.
XP does drive optimization by default when not in use. (or so i have been told)
It sucks.
I have my server running all the time and its not very optimized.
I just made a crontab / at command to run every 6 hours
I usually have O&O defrag to run on boot and when idle. keeps it fairly clean.
O&O would constantly when not being used comsume 200+MB of memory for no other reason then it could. I couldnt figure out why.
That reminds me, I should try out the O&O for linux again, if they have a new beta. it didnt like my last setup, but I doubt it'll like my new one any better.

Also I think the prices on the 300,400 and 500 GB drives went down.
