I'm looking into what looks to be a nice compact external USB HD (http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10023), and had a couple of quick question about...
... RPM has a definite effect on seek time and on data transfer times. 7200 is more the norm for desktops and 10k is best. 4200 (though 5400 is an option) is...
Mica, I've been giving the idea of PC building some additional thought (after reading an encouraging set of articles recently in a tech rag) and thought you ...
... Question back for you David, what are you planning on using the machine for? Games machine? Dev machine? media streamer? general pc? all of the above? none...
A 4200RPM hard drive is pretty slow, especially if you plan on doing any compiling on it. Most of the laptops around work either have 4200RPM or 5400RPM...
I would think you would NOT want a USB drive for your primary. I would suggest getting a new primary internal, install a clean OS, then use the old primary as...
... Transferring data isn't really the issue. And I definitely am aware that having a USB drive as a primary is not ideal, but I have my reasons why I'm ...
... Good feedback. What I'm reading from all the responses is: * USB shouldn't be too slow * 4200RPM would be too slow, but 5400 should be reasonably...

I think you might have MB/s and Mb/s confused. USB 2.0 is limited to 60 MB/s (480 Mbits/s). ATA 133 hits 133 MB/s. For example the Barracuda 7200 RPM hits...
Yeah, my bad. That's what you get for trying to compose an e-mail while waiting for you're 30 minute code refactoring session to be acknowledged by Clearcase....
I agree that 4200 is pretty slow. I recently bought a 7200 rpm 120GB external drive with firewire/usb combo interface. (Acomdata, bout $120 w/rebate @...
For what its worth my Desktop has two 7200rpm HD's, while my Laptop has one 4200rpm HD. In terms of set up, configuration and specs (apart from the second HD...

It was painful! I did indeed set up two partitions (Fat32, which Mac recognizes alright, and a Mac partition) but it turns out that Mac OS X (I'm using 10.2)...

But ATA 133 transfers at 133 MB/s more than double the rate for USB 2.0 Of course when dealing with standard video or even Mpeg2 video 10Mb/s is more than...
what do you guys do to argue against flavour of the month architecture? I am in a situation where a young architect recently employed by the client wants us to...
But 133 is only the burst rate; actual rate for sustained data transfer from a hd is much less than that; it depends on the drive, but actual performance is...
Yow. I ran into something similar with a telco PM who wanted everything, I mean everything, to be SOAP-based. We had an API that acted as a wrapper for calls...
