There's no fault here. The difference between the 4.4 and the 4.7GB is overhead for the DVD format and index (directory) written when the data meaningful to you is written. If it were a straight, single track song or movie you might get more data but it's all in how and what you count as

I explained that earlier. ethernet ports are vulnerable. Wires pick up from the air radio pulses generated by lightning and power surges. This turns into voltage in the ethernet cable. Not frequent but it can happen. Also, only a proper ups, not a surge protector, can protect you from a

Hello Michael, I'm curious, did you buy this quad new or did you buy it used or is it a work computer owned by a company? I get the feeling that you bought it used. There's almost always a reason for failures and it's usually a problem that can be isolated. If it's a part, it can be

IMO, get the SSD but also install the hard drive, if the laptop allows it (otherwise try iCloud? :-) ), that will act as a backup. Separately, neither may be more reliable than the other but you will be safer. And faster. So back up frequently. For even faster *desktop* performance, shell out

Calm down. try it like echo some new file ls -l some* so is the file there? yes. Is there an error? rm some* echo sominex echo $? 0 so no error. this will work the same in an embedded script and most commands. What's easier? to do a simple test like that or ask a question and wait for a reply
