2. Media transfer rate = 757Mb/s - that&#39;s Megabits per second = 95MB/s. So media rate is slower than interface rate. Average.

Excuse me? Find me a hard drive thats somewhere near 400 gigs that can keep a sustained 100MB/s + transfer rate.

How about this? I&#39;m sure the other manufacturers will be bringing out similar sized drives before too long.

I didn&#39;t say it was poor, or anything like that. But it isn&#39;t exactly stunning either, although admittedly you have to pay a lot for very high performance drives. [/b][/quote]
I said sustain.

That will be its peak transfer rate, and you know these manufacturers. I haven&#39;t known any 7200 RPM hard drive that can, SATA or not.

Sorry, I thought you wanted to compare like with like. I didn&#39;t realise you wanted a sustained transfer rate to compare against a maximum transfer rate. Still, you know these manufacturers.

What I meant by the manufacturers comment is that they may "distort" the truth a "little" bit

Theres no point in anything about 100 MB/s for an IDE hard drive really, or is this on SATA? Oh well I can&#39;t remember.

I&#39;m just looking at your sig and wondering why you&#39;ve got SP2 on xp installed?

its the beta...

since i signed up on betaplace.com(well whatever the new url is) and i was actually able to legally download it does anybody know if i will get like a reward or something in the mail, i read on another website that these guys got a little cheap radio from microsoft for being beta testers on some project which i cant remember.

poor choice if you ask me, had to look for this post &#092;cause I don;t know anyone who would want to install sp2

Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates has outlined Microsoft?s security strategy for the coming year in a letter to customers.


Security changes will be included in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Long term, systems such as caller ID-style technologies for email and behavioural monitoring of software will be introduced.

"Given human nature, evolving threat models and the increasing interconnectedness of computers, the number of security exploits will never reach zero. But we can dramatically blunt the impact of cybercriminals, and are dedicating a major portion of our research and development investments to security advances," Gates wrote in the letter.

SP2 will be released by June. It will strengthen the Windows firewall and turn it on by default, block unsolicited downloads from web sites. It will also include software to work with the new generation of processors, such as the AMD FX 53, which have some anti-virus capability built in. The full letter can be seen on http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail/

I could be wrong, but that sounds like they&#39;re trying to police the interweb.
