Re: What Hard Disk Drive?
 

i do have a Samsung drive thats a green type drive they are ok for storage but i wouldnt use them for an O/S boot drive.

I always disable powersaving features in windows as ive witnessed a lot of problems with them in the past

I am looking for a network drive to backup my pc.

I have a 500 gb USB drive currently which windows 7 does not always find, so at least once a week I have to reboot the drive and the pc to start it working again.

Most of my pictures are backed up using the free virgin Vstuff service, but this does not manage to back up everything.

I don't like the skydrive service as this seems to compress the pictures.

Re: What Hard Disk Drive?
 

I use winrar to rar all my photos for back up then upload the rar ( with parity)or in skydrive when you goto add files there is a drop down menu in the top right hand corner select original and it will not compress the pics at all
