...hard drive.
What, you thought I was going to say penis? Whatdya think I am, a Republican like Rush Limpdick?!
Anywho, here's the three hard drives I'm looking at for my Macbook to bring it up to an awesome 500 gigabytes -- or what I have available on my Linux server (!!!):
-
Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT. It's a Western Digital, which is the gold standard in hard drives. Goes for $150 at NewEgg.
- SAMSUNG Spinpoint M6 HM500LI. This has virtually identical specs to the Western Digital, but only goes for $120 at NewEgg.
- Hitachi Travelstar 5k500. Hitachi bought IBM's hard drive division some years back, during a time when IBM hard drives had a very poor reliability record. No idea what the Japanese have done to Hitachi's reliability record. Just the fact that they're Japanese doesn't mean they solved the reliability issues -- just ask Mitsubishi owners. Anyhow, this drive is $160 at CDW.

You appear to have lots of money to piss away so why not go for the best? Either way you're going to be helping a lady in China eat and I'll all for that.
ReplyDeleteAre you still running on a Mac???
ReplyDeleteOk, yea. Forget that question, what I MEANT was, aside from a bigger penis, are you running on Leopard??
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm running on Leopard on my Macbook. I have also pumped the RAM on my Macbook to 4gb. It works quite well, thank you. My Macbook is the Santa Rosa model. I'm not buying the new nVidia model because it doesn't have Firewire, which I need for video work, and it doesn't have any faster processor than my Santa Rosa model. I can survive without the faster nVidia graphics, thank you very much, but I can't survive without my Firewire...
