So I wou... 2 Mar 2010 06:46
External Storage for Laptop I want to add external storage to my Dell Studio XPS. It has a built-in eSATA port so the Seagate FreeAgentXTreme is an attractive choice. However, I would prefer to set up a 3-drive RAID 5 array in order to get fault tolerance. Dell Tech Support stated that the built-in controller supports RAID and the Tech G... 1 Mar 2010 12:31
Adding a fan to external hard drive enclosure? with the pass thru type connector the fan has, you shouldn't need to use a splitter. it works between the power supply and the hard drive, splitters like that are usually for non pass thru additions or cramped space, which may be the case with the enclosure. if it is, then you will definitely need it. let us know... 19 Feb 2010 19:58
mysterious discrepancy in the reported free space on two ?identicalusb drives Arno wrote: If you really want to make both drives the same size, the only way I see is to format them and then put all files on both using exactly the same procedure. This may still not work, as the metadata is always slightly different, for example in the timestamps. Something like a RAID-based ... 19 Feb 2010 00:01

bad sectors on a mybook WD usb drive Hi. I've lost some data on a 2 tb WD mybook usb drive. When I did a full scan, it found something like 3 mb in bad sectors. However, when I reformatted the drive, somehow all bad sectors were recovered. Apparently, there is some redundancy in diskspace, so it can allocate some of that extra space to substitute... 23 Feb 2010 09:02
