Information on Hitachi microdrives2009-10-24
I bought a Hitachi microdirive MD6GBBP in $50 through Amazon, but it was
not able to connect to any notebook PC through any PC card adaptor becasue
this microdrive I bought wqas a white lavel one even though the ADD page
was shown in blue lavel one as shown in this request page of my review.
There are two types of Hitach microdrives according to Hitachi. One has
blue lavel like shown on this web site. The other has white lavel. Cheap
one had white lavel.
I found the defference after I got a response of Hitachi support center
on my question how to get and install the driver. Hitachi said they will
never support the microdrive with white lavel directly.
Now I use it through a memory card adoptor after re-formatting. It runs
well even though the microdrive is white lavel one.

Beware!2009-09-02
I have been using this microdrive occasionally with my Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 and it worked great - pretty fast considering - until the last time I inserted it and turned on my camera. It immediately shut down and would not power up again. I had to send it into Sony, along with the microdrive, and they reported that the microdrive was "bad" and it caused the DC converter card to blow. $220 later...... and it only has a 1 year warranty.HITACHI 6GB Microdrive MD6GBBP
I needed the 4 GB and not the 6; so they replaced it for me.2008-12-29
I needed the 4 GB and not the 6; so they replaced it for me. No problems in getting the item replaced with the one that I needed, the 4GB instead of the 6GB. No hastles, they took very good care of me and I'd be glad to do business with them in the future.
No factory service available after warranty!!!2008-06-16
14 months after I bought this POS for $279.00 plus tax, it stopped working completely. Okay, I thought I would send it back to Hitachi and they would repair it and charge me for the repair. It turns out that they will not service this product after the 1 year warranty. It says something about their faith in their own product and Hitachi customer support. Three months after I called them I got a call from their customer service department to see if my issue was resolved to my satisfaction. When I told their service rep about their policy, she said that was incredible and she would follow up and get back to me.
NEVER HAPPENED.
I will never give Hitachi the opportunity to screw me again!
NEVER AGAIN will I buy a Hitachi product.
Now dead2007-03-16
Worked great for 14 months using a Nikon 2Dx, at 14 months completely died- camera and computer will not recognize. Lost 6 gigs of photos and wasted money on card. Contacted customer support at Hitachi and they said, "Its out of warranty. Nothing we can do."

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
