heh, i had 2 of these drives fail on me in my raid 5 array within only hours apart... i put them in the freezer and one of them worked long enough to rebuild my array to a new drive. High fail rate enough?
Glad to know that if i had lost any data, i could now hold them to getting it back. Good work seagate.... would have been better if the drives didn't fail at all though.
i like how everyone i always like "Vista sucks" "its so unstable"... blah blah blah.
let me ask you something... when you first installed vista did it have any problems on their machines? nope. I was on the beta for vista too, and i can verify that there were alot of stability problems. The only thing i would say negative about vista is the fact that it didn't have enough development time for 3rd party devs before release.
And Thats a large cause of the problems. Back in the 90s unix people had to go through the same problems when they learned that you can't stay logged into root. Same idea with vista, thats why it comes up with the annoying UI "are you sure".
whatever I've been using vista for a few years and i love it... don't blame the OS for the program/driver instability though. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying its a perfect program... what i'm saying is its a great improvement on a lot of ideas that have been due 10 years ago! ABOUT TIME!
lol i bet it weighs as much as a bumper too... the thing looks huge!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
