IMPORTANT: Because of the time-limited error recovery feature, this product is intended for server applications and is not recommended for use in desktop systems.

This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dunno.
I have a similar WD 320GB SATA drive in my home computer...
...and it works perfectly. I was thinking it might be the same drive, but it's not.

Maybe if I buy Tiger, I will be able to placate the part of my brain that keeps whispering to me that I could afford a new iBook.

I'm not sure what that means. I've also not used a WD drive in years. I had a series of them fail on me at one point and I jumped over to the Seagate Barracuda line and I've never looked back.

It's not a Barracuda, but this Seagate is bigger with roughly the same cost per gig as the WD drive.

I have WD (and Maxtor and Seagate) at home and work and they have worked great. Actually, I haven't had a hard drive fail in a really long time. I have 2.5GB drives that still work but I just don't have a use for anymore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I know there's freeware out there that will let you create a PDF from a Word doc. Is there anything that goes in reverse? Approximately three thousand of the source documents for my new project are PDFs, and my life would be a lot easier if they were editable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A TLER disk is meant to be used in a RAID system.
Explaination: [link]
WDC's official line: [link]
Basically, the TLER is stupider and less robust about error recovery, since it assumes that the RAID controller will be handling that task.

RE vs. SE? WTF?
I believe SE is a desktop line and RE is a server line and then there is SE16 for a 16 megabyte buffer as opposed to a 8 MB buffer.

Thanks Tom. I want to use the drive for backup, so it seems to be a bad choice. Looks like the 400GB Seagate is a better deal all around.
