Half-Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed

EconolineCrush writes "The Tech Report has posted an in-depth review of Hitachi's half-terabyte Deskstar 7K500, the largest hard drive available on the market. The drive is compared with five of the latest drives from Maxtor, Seagate, and Western Digital, so the review serves as a good round-up of the fastest Serial ATA drives on the market. Performance testing is quite extensive, covering desktop applications, load times, file copy tests, multi-user workloads, disk-intensive multitasking, and even noise levels and power consumption."

    What Will Be Done With My Faith Based Response Donation?

    Each $100 gift will absorb the cost of printing and recording *Bibles, and packaging.

    Care packages to New Orleans flood victims will include the following:

    1 King James 1611 Bible or Bible on Tape
    1 Chick Tract (Assorted)
    1 Self Addressed Stamped Envelope
    A small insert containing instructions on where to send a financial love offering of thanks to the Landover Baptist Church once the recipient of the care package gets back on their feet and receives their first paycheck.

    *Disclaimer: If Landover Baptist receives reports that hurricane victims are using the pages of our Bibles are for hygienic purposes, such as toilet paper, we reserve the right to end this faith-based response effort immediately.

  3. O/T: Please DoS This Phisher by RallyDriver · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The following trojaned PC is hosting a load balancer for a network of phishing sites:

    http://65.162.56.73/ [65.162.56.73]

    Spam is being sent out sending people to that IP, which in turn redirects to a network of 0wned PCs all across the US.

    If you have resources, please DoS port 80 on that box.

    The ISP whose network it is on has already been contacted, they are slow to act.
