Does What Its Supposed to Do Except...2009-06-22
This drive does what its supposed to do, which is back up my files automatically without me having to think about it.

One significant glitch is that if I completely shutdown my computer, the next time I turn the computer on, I have to unplug the external drive from the power source and replug it in order for the drive to show up on my computer. There is no power on or power off button on the drive. The customer service person instructed me to do this and even though it is awkward and silly to have to do this, its worked for two years.
don't buy2009-06-21
This drive worked about 2 weeks then failed. Would not recommend this. I'll stick to western digital hard drives, I've never had a problem with them over the years.
This does not work, do not every buy anything from seagate2009-06-07
The one thing hard drives are supposed to do, is to store files so they won't get lost. my computer has notified me that around half of my music, or 30 gigs, couldn't be rewritten to this stupid hard drive, that was working five days ago. it seems that it is now randomly deleting all my music, and my computer is now fine. but this is around the 10th time there's been a problem with it. I couldn't be more angry with this product. please please never buy anything seagate makes.
Not a quality product2009-05-29
Boy, this driv sure liiked good on paper. Good price, good reviews, well-known name, etc. I wish that I did more research.
To start off, the fact that in most cases this device can't back up photos is a known error. You usually receive a message that "hidden file" backup is not supported", even though in many cases your photos aren't "hidden files". When you remove this property, they still can't be backed up automatically. Of course, you can do a Copy/Paste, but I purchased the item so I wouldn't have to do that. The device allows you to customize a script to specify what files you want to back up, and how often, but within an hour, the system loses the customization.
All in all, a disappointing purchase. Returned it for credit in 3 days.
Backup2009-05-12
I only use this hard drive for back up purposes, but it works perfect for that. It even has it's own program already loaded on it to schedule backups every day/week, etc.

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 ...
