Back.

Got the new Maxtor DiamondMax Plus HD put in this morning.

Went a whole lot better than I thought it would (amazingly so, in fact, given my penchant for creating disasters where none had ever existed before).

Let's see:
160GB
Buffer Size: 8MB
Average Seek Time <9.3 ms
External Transfer Rate: Up to 133M/Bytes / sec
(Ultra ATA/133)
Rotational Speed: 7200 RPM

That oughta hold me for awhile.

Adding programs back in in a very un-hurried fashion here. No glitches so far. Pete

 

Ah. Nothing like big fast toys to keep a guy happy.

Have fun, Pete.

mmm delicious HD! Glad to know it's going well and I certainly hope it serves you well!

 

Now you just have to figure out how to fill that bad boy up.

 

I suspect that the spy is not going to have very much trouble filling her up!

Welcome back!

 

lol give me one day with your pc lol i bet it not blazey proof lol

 

(you know I'm chuckling over that one)

~shakes head~ not a chance! ROFL! But a 160GB <--you have space to 'rent' now! I've have 20GB and it's only half full. What are you going to put on that beasty, Pete?

Glad you are back up and running!

it will hold you for a while I sure..but the thing is SOOOO big you will not be able to find even all the program layers you run

Fill it up fast pete..I hear the price of gas is going up again.

 

Big?

Okay, not yet, but we'll get there according to this article
