There are many excellent hard drives available on the market today depending on the type of drive. For buyers interested in SSD or Solid State Drives, the number one pick would be the Crucial M500. The Kingston HyperX 3K and the Intel SSD 335 also have very high ratings. The top consumer choice for 3.5 inch Desktop Hard Drives would be the Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000.
I'd go with the velociraptor from western digital. I think its the best right now.
if your talking about cardbus/pcmcia then yes. small hard drives are available but are pretty much obsolete now
I have one on right now.. It seems it would be quite hard to drive....
The percentage depends on the size of the hard drive. You would need to know the entire size of the hard drive to do the simple math. 4000000kb equals 4Gb.... now if your had a 100gb hard drive, that would add up to 4%.
Your hard drive. If this is happening your hard drive is already dead. Back up your most important data NOW and get a new hard drive.
The best way to format your hard drive without a Windows disc is to obtain a copy of Linux (any distribution will do) and run the installer, making sure that you select options to use the whole hard drive. You will then have a hard drive with Linux on it which you can either keep on your computer, or install another OS on top. An alternative method is to use Darik's Boot and Nuke, which will destroy the data on most hard drives. You can get it from dban.sourceforge.net.
The number of hard drive manufacturers has decreased dramatically in the past few years. Many of the old reliable drive makers are gone now. Many experts feel that Western Digital makes some of the best drives still available, just be sure to avoid their products that feature digital protection or are advertised as green. Those are not of the same quality and have unique problems. All hard drives have issues, the larger capacity the drive, the more prone it will be to failure. Be sure to have a backup plan, especially for some as irreplaceable as personal photos.
Right now you can get a LaCie drive for about $140 that holds 320GB. I've used LaCie before and have been happy with their performance.
Depends. If you have gigs and gigs of photos [numbering in the millions], then a hard drive might be needed. It's more likely that you don't need THAT much space, and a flash drive would be better, because hard drives have mechanical parts that wear out gradually over time. Flash memory is more protected than a hard drive, though it is slower and more expensive [right now].
About a decade ago, buying a 250gb hard drive was very expensive. Now you can buy one for usually $60. This depends on whether or not it is an external or internal hard drive. Usually the portable external ones are the most affordable. You can find them at Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, Amazon, eBay and Newegg.
If your hard drive goes out and you need to buy a new one, you can purchase them at any store that sells computer products. Some examples of the places you can purchase a new hard drive would be Best Buy, Staples, and even Amazon. Make sure you know the type of hard drive you need and the amount of space you would like depending on your computing needs.
That was a bad idea
