Well, he can say it again, but the message will not be approved. He is one
step from being added to the perminate blacklist.
Thank you,

Hi Eric,
You will be delighted with the Travelstar HD. One freebie HD speed
gauge is "Roadkil's (one L) Disk Speed." Google it. I keep it on the
desktop and save the data for comparison. The Hitachi 7200 2 1/2" runs rings
around the old 5400 Toshiba drive. There are many other benchmark programs
(Sandra, HD Tune, HDM, etc., but Roadkil is extremely to use, small
footprint, and effective.
As for ONE CARE, I realize it's early "beta" but I found it a bit
unstable and it did conflict with quite a few other programs. I'll be trying
it again once they update the version. I did send MS a report pursuant to
the conflicts.
TrueImage by Acronis seems to be bulletproof. I've been a BETA
tester for a few software co's and I not found a better "clone" or "image"
program than Acronis T I. That includes, "Ghost," CasperXP, Paragon HD Mgr.,
Genie BkUp Mgr., Extra Drive Creator Pro., etc.
Paul, KJ8OU sounds very familiar but at the moment, I can't place
him. Perhaps up on 20 mtrs. I'll check his QRZ listing.

Hello Bill,
I just got the 7k100 60 gig one from Buy.com I had a 10% off so it
was $6 more and non-OEM. I cannot wait. I was too cheap to pay the $7
shipping for 3-5 days. Well the warehouse is one state away, so possibly
will be here on Friday. I was happy to read it used the same power as a5400.
I use Windows OneCare Live to backup www.windowsonecarelive.com
but I will be using TrueImage to replace the HD. The laptop needs a rebuild,
but I do not have the time.
Have you ever talked to Paul KJ8OU (Port Huron, MI) I think?
Friend of parents
Eric

Eric,
I have a Toshiba P25 S607 with 17" LCD that came with a 60 gig
5400 rpm drive. Had 512 Megs memory. I purchased TWO Travelstar 60gigs from
Newegg, replaced the OEM drive in the laptop with the 7200 Hitachi. The
result was a BIG difference according to numerous benchmarks numerically,
and in actual use. Much faster in all regards. They are excellent!
I took the other Travelstar, and put it into an external enclosure
from Newegg and I backup once (clone) each 4-6 days using Acronis True
Image. Should the drive in the laptop fail, I just physically swap the one
from the enclosure and I am IMMEDIATELY back up and running. I have
performed the "what if" at least 4 times and it works flawlessly.

Thanks. I think I will order a 60gig tonight. I keep most my
downloads (programs, plus 2-3 versions back.), MS-DVR's (No Russ, not p*rn,
Media Center Recorded files (Scrub's, The Simpson's, House M.D., Boston
Legal if they are keepers)) on a ext. HD.
Thank you,
Eric Vogel
