No it isn't......................it is its memory. The "brains" would be the processor and RAM, as that is where the computer's equivalent of the EGO lives. As a bot, I don't expect you to understand...

I mentioned the slow performance of an ASUS Net-book in an earlier post.
Eventually I will replace the 5,400rpm electro-mechanical drive with an SSD, but in the meantime I stuck a 4GB supermarket...

It seems to be possible with 98 Second Edition?:D

Not that I would spend 250 bucks to find out :D
Actually I think that the way we use the term...

I have just weighed my Quantum Bigfoot 12GB and it comes in at 2lbs 10oz; the Asus Netbook weighs 2lbs 2oz :D
Your transfer rate works out at around 12MBps which I think is rather slow for...

Hi Shay,
That makes a lot of sense, as both my netbook and the laptop that my wife has appropriated from me have a card reader slot on the side. I have put a 4GB card in the netbook and might...

Hi,
I have tested the second Seagate 1500GB slave drive that is in the Core-i7
1000MB Sequential 158~167/156~165
512KB Random 55~57/84~90
That is pretty consistent with the other...

Hi there Shay,
I have installed one of the 1000GB Seagates as the single primary drive in a Phenom II x2 560BE (no partitions). That's a twin core running at 3.3GHz with no turbo or...

Hi,
It is the free version of HDD Tune.
Yes, I have both Crystal Diskmark and Diskinfo. I haven't tried to run it on these machines though, as I prefer the graphical interface.
I haven't...

Hi, sorry about that mate, I should have been a bit more informative.
I have two test rigs, both running Windows 8 Release Preview.
Rig #1
Intel Core i7 2600K (stock settings) [32nm...

:rofl:
OK. I have now tried the Seagate ST1500DM003-9YN1 (1,500GB).
These were boxed retail versions from CnMemory, a German outfit. They are SATA II connected.
Transfer rates as follows:

Interesting!
I hadn't even heard of that scam until now.
How can you hope to get away with it though?.......... a stick drive would run at half speed and fill up in no time?
:confused:

Not really, as most external HDDs are just a traditional electro-mechanical drive crammed into a fancy looking case with no adequate ventilation.......... where it sweats until it dies.:(
Whilst...

Sorry! I was referring to these new electro-mechanical traditional HDDs. Whilst an SDD does not require defragmentation (it is a waste of time and counter-productive), the old style drives with...

I'll post this here rather than in a separate thread, as it certainly applies to drives like this.
Windows Vista and 7 have a built in defragmentation scheduled to run once a week.
Because it...

Sure, and it has made me reconsider what builds really need/justify an SSD as primary?
I would say that most home/SOHO/office rigs will be plenty fast with one of those.

Western Digital were pretty well drowned in the Thai floods............these Seagates came with a bright orange life-jacket (OEM, not boxed) they are made in China so the only Seagate is on the...

Hi Shay,
They are the Barracuda ST1000DM003-9YN162 and are SATA III connecting. The connection probably doesn't matter as the one that is slaved is on a SATA II board. After all, SATA II is...

OK, I am sure that many of you know the Windows Experience Index that ships with Vista and Windows 7?
A conventional electro-mechanical 7,200rpm HDD will score 5.9. That is also true for Windows...
