Solid-state drives (SSD) are becoming more affordable and are replacing hard disk drives (also known as spindle, HDD, or platter-driven) as the primary storage medium in many portable devices. But, are these drives really a better choice for desktop users? How do they really compare to hard disk drives?

In this video, LockerGnome’s Brandon Wirtz and Chris Pirillo discuss the advantages and disadvantages between SSD and HDD when used as the primary drive in computers.

how to delete photos from external hard disk that my computer cant detect?

May 17, 2012 in external hard disk drives | Comments (2)

After I backup my photos onto my brand new Toshiba external hard disk, it began having a clicking sound. Now when I connect it via USB to my PC, it cant be detected! I can get it changed for a new one under the warranty but I have to first delete my photos on the disk. Now how can I ensure that the photos are deleted when the PC cant even detect the external disk drive?

Would appreciate anyone’s urgent help!

A clicking sound means there is physical damage. You can’t possibly get anything off the drive without putting it in a new case, which requires special tools.

What’s Really Inside a Buffalo MiniStation 1TB?

There are many brands of external hard drives being sold at the retail level. However there are only a few hard disk manufacturers.

For whatever reason, it is often cheaper to buy a 2.5″ external notebook drive mounted inside a case than to buy just the disk drive, but what’s inside the case?

Western Digital, Samsung, Toshiba, Seagate, Hitachi ?

Let’s find out!

Warning! This WILL invalidate your warranty!

I couldn’t find a video on the Internet anywhere showing how to take HP’s SimpleSave Desktop Hard Drive apart so you can use it as a bare-bones SATA drive. This is a video of exactly that, and should get rid of that nasty VirtualCD partition that runs the HP software automatically.
