Thanks, that’s super useful. I have recently had a Seagate die on me.I've always been a WD user so I guess I get to be smug and all; but this is rather important for people to see.
I've always preferred Western Digital drives and avoided Seagate whenever possible. Now I know why.Thanks, that’s super useful. I have recently had a Seagate die on me.
One of my first drives was a Maxtor. I bought a 210MB Maxtor drive to replace the 52MB drive that came with my Amiga 2000.We used to call them Seacrate. I miss Maxtor, they made some NICE drives before they got borged.
I have both kinds of drives, but I assume that any kind of hard drive can fail, even the nearly 10 year old one in this desktop that's worked perfectly all that time. So anything that's important gets backed up on multiple drives. The more important it is, the more copies I have. One thing I have done is keep the original boxes for both desktops. That way when I move, which I have done a couple of times with these machines, I can pack them properly.I've always preferred Western Digital drives and avoided Seagate whenever possible. Now I know why.
The most important lesson here: They put some of the crappiest crap drives in externals. You're *FAR* better off buying a real (and full-size, not laptop) hard drive and putting it in a seperately bought enclosure.I've always been a WD user so I guess I get to be smug and all; but this is rather important for people to see.
But there is "Asteroids" and "Lunar Lander".
A good walk spoiled, indeed. ^^but as the course has 18 million holes, it will be a while before anybody finishes it.

It's now considered a "dwarf planet." Source: "fun fact #4" on this page: PlutoAt that rate, it takes five-and-a-half hours, roughly, to reach Pluto (which is not a planet).
Pluto may have company out there in the Kuiper Belt according to astronomers. They found that a small icy world called Sedna is out there past the planet of Neptune and may have company. This possible small planet known as 2014 UZ224 is about the size of Iowa which is about half the size of Pluto. Located approximately 8.5 billion miles away and twice as far from earth. Scientists have discovered five dwarf planets in the Milky Way – Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Haumea and Makemake. They believe that there may be more out there, about 100 more.
