bezender Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 wd are the most consistant hdd's I have come across. (used to make hardware firewalls with em that would need to run constantly and un-maintained for many months). in some cases a couple years seagate r ok too. nothing wrong with em, they have not proved themselves to me tho. just steer clear of deskstar drves... they are time bombs Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/101/#findComment-4105816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Only issue with WD's I've found is heat. If you run the computer in a poorly ventilated case and the room does not have good aircon on those summer days expect the click of death following a good year of use. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=_Faq8tetLRM Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/101/#findComment-4105924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normsta Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 My problem with WD was vibrations. It was so bad that after removing it, the computer is about half as loud as it used to be.

Cubes Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 My 640gb WD aaks definitely vibrates a lot more than my seagate drives. BUT the WD drive is a hell of a lot quieter when seeking.

bezender Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 jus wondering what ppl use for a browser? i use firefox with a few choice extensions: adblock plus self explanatory really, blocks all those frikkin ads download statusbar statusbar that sits at the bottom of the browser, instead of opening a separate window ie tab allows u to open a page within firefox using the ie engine smart bookmarks bar love this one, strips the name of the url off the book mark and just leaves the logo url fixer fixes typos that u put in the address bar what extensions do u guys use? oh btw am trying the google browser and it fails... so slow Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/101/#findComment-4108803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamageInc Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 on firefox i use foxmarks , backs all your bookmarks up to a server so when you go places or reformat you can either login to the site and browse your saved sites or download them exactly how you have them setup highly recommend this app!!

CRoNic... Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 FF3 with AdBlockPlus I hate IE with a passion. Previous workplace implimented FF as their primary browser across the organisation.
