Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 23:32:51 -0800 From: John Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers Hello Matthew... Good question... I use my Libretto to make portable my MP3's (3.6gig), Music Videos (5gig), a lot of 3D FPS Games (19gig, I collect them, list available). That is the personal and entertainment area. For work I have Device Drivers (2.6gig), about two dozen installation CD and disks sets (20gig), and then I have several clients with databases that total around 10gig each... I can just work on more at once and not spend as much time copying back and forth to the server. Is faster working internally. I more I can keep with me, the less I have to go to the file server. For my file server here at home I have six 30gig drives which have over 100 gig of data on them at any given time, so I can't even take everything with me as it is. The CD's I would need to carry would outweigh my Libretto. I have to keep as close to total portability as storage will allow. Also, when I am gathering network traffic on site you just can't have too much disk space. The more space I have, the more I can gather at a time, and the better my analysis will be. : ) I keep both of my Librettos going and rotate them from duty on site. Maybe I should just buy newer computers, but I really like these "adorable" computers, and they still do a great job for the types of work I do. At $1500, a new U model is starting to sound really good, I but I need Windows 98 and DOS for complete compatibility with much of the equipment I service. That is what I use my Libretto(s) for... with all this new disk space so inexpensive, it seems my Libretto just keeps getting more useful! : ) John Martin === -- From: matthew patton [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 4:55 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 16:54:23 -0800 (PST) From: matthew patton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers what on earth do you people put on your HD's? I can't fill 20G (not including the OS). I guess if I ripped all of my CD's at some silly bitrate I'd manage to fill the 40G drive. The only sizable thing I have are 5yrs worth of magazine scans in PDF and parts of last year's MotoGP video feeds. But neither will exist on the platters for long. They'll go to DVD/CD. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

[LIB] Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers
Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 15:42:56 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Seagate 160GB HD now available for sale at retailers For example, for $355, you can now get it from one of my favorite distributors online - www.newegg.com. Obviously, a very expensive drive vs. the <$200 120GB & 100GB HDs out earlier. Good for newer Librettos that can handle the larger HDs w/o a drive image overlay program; older Librettos (probably everything below a Libretto L1 series) w/o UDMA IDE connectors most likely will have trouble handling anything over the ~120GB too-old BIOS limit. (Of course, we won't know for sure unless someone buys and tests, but probably ) Thus, for now, the <=120GB HDs out on the market will most likely be the 'largest' 2.5" HD you can drop into any Libretto from the L20 on up (you'll need to use a drive overlay program, do fancy formatting/fdisking per prior posted threads, or use an OS such as W2K/WXP/Linux that supports HDs larger than what the Libretto BIOS can see by itself). The >120GB HDs will require BIOS support of this + HW support of large HDs, and it's unknown at this time if any Libretto can correctly function and see the entire >120GB HD, even with a drive overlay program. Nevertheless, it is a good HD to use to upgrade modern, regular laptops, and this will allow users with 3-drive bays on their laptops to upgrade to a 1/2 tetrabyte of online storage on their laptops =) adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
