How to Buy external Hard disk drive? Things to look for in External Hard disk drive


Here I'm trying to discuss about optimal performance but absolute value for money



Brand: Must be top brand offering warranty at least for 2-3 years, don't confuse Top brand is totally different from popular brand(cheaper its popular will be in India most here don't mind performance). These days manufacturers are offering 5 year warranty too.



Connection: Can be two ways Firewire or USB. These days USB is sported high cause can be connected with most computers. But choose what best suits you cause Firewire's performance is unmatchable to USB.






Speed: Seek time <10ms  | Buffer Size > 4Mb  |  RPM : 5,400 - 7,200

(Please keep in mind values here are for optimum performance, go higher if you can spend)



Size: Must be greater than 80GB, as said before if you can spend go for bigger but not biggest it will degrade performance.



Search: If you reading this post its obvious that you are searching sites for idea, but don't stop here. Go to Manufactures site itself compare with their own products. Wide information is available these days use them.



How / Where to get: In Chennai, Ritchie Street (close to 'The Hindu' office) is best to buy but only if you have a expert by your side else opt from showrooms like Croma. Every manufactures are having their own retail shops to check them too. If you are buying in website make sure you choose 'Cash on Delivery' for payment unless you know its a trusted site ;)



Happy in meeting you with another query, many friends of mine owns external hard disk drives but what most of them does is analyses and discuss about it after buying, that's not a great habit to have. But outta those discussions I have brought some ideas, hope they helped you.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

When would the thriller end in Group B?

Chennai, 18/01/2011 World Cup 2011, the final four from Group B is to be decided in the last league match of the tournament. If the last played match in Group B between England and West Indies on 17/03 was won by West Indies there would not be any problem. Now I'll discuss the possibilities! If Bangladesh is to Exit This is the simplest of all, if BAN is going to lose against South Africa they'll make their way out from World Cup. If West Indies is to Exit This is next possible if BAN wins SA, and India wins West Indies they are out with 6pts while team ahead of them will have 7pts and 8pts. If England to Exit This is next in list, If BAN wins over SA. If Ind Vs WI match ends with WI winning by small or moderate margin. If India to Exit The most impossible to happen thats why I say India is already qualified! After BAN wins SA, WI must achieve a target over 250runs in 25 overs or target over 300runs in 30 overs. If India is going to chase West Ind...

A trip to Meluha alongside Shiva

I never comment about his attitude or his grin face very ill tempered guy… no one wants to mess with him. He was breathing heavy probably he just battled out someone near our lake’s bank or was he resting after his regular practice. Why does the blood stains are still there in his sword probably he just put few life to end, just before I could ask him to wash them we heard some announcement deep from Manasarowar. Couple of strangers were using some bizarre tools to shout, actually they are inviting us to their town. I wanted to warn of letting strangers inside village but Shiva had other ideas, he was sure they are not part of local barbaric tribes. May be our ancestors mustn’t have allowed other tribes to fetch water from the holy lake, their thirst was for blood not water. I thought he can discuss about foreigners to him but he was so depressed about next barbaric attack from local tribes. Before dusk another attack we were not able to prevent the murder of kids and women. Ruthl...

why do people sweat more in chennai???

One of the famous ornament of chennai is its summer!. Everyone here would have at least once talked about its effect and the way they affected. People comes out with sweats flowing from the body is the usual scene of chennai noon. The sweat produced is not just due to the temperature of the region. It is in fact due to the high humidity of chennai. To explain this lets see a fact, people in chennai sweats more than the people in delhi where the temperature is higher than the former. This is because of chennai's location. Chennai is located near sea due to which sea water evaporation is high during summer which in turn increases the humidity (Amount of water vapour present in air). Normally human blood temperature is about 35 deg Celsius. If the outside temperature is more than that, then our system tries to automatically cools down by releasing sweat from the body. The sweat which is released cools the surrounding heat by converting into vapour thereby reducing the body te...
