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.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

I was thinking it might be the same drive, but it's not.
RE vs. SE? WTF?

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
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.

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