One Tb less than I had this morning. Got home tonight and the main hard drive in the computer doesn't work. Pulled it out and whacked in into an external USB dock, spins up but won't mount.

I guess I'm going to find out how good Time Machine is on the Mac!

Bloody Seagate hard drives, this is the second one I've had stop working without warning.

It's WD for me now.

Cheers

I hear you on the point of the Seagates. I had two of the 1.5TB Seagate drives and have just had to replace one of them. In its place, I have installed 2 of the Western Digital 640GB drives. I am preapring to change out the other Seagate drive before it decides to stop working.

At home (or at work), we don't use Seagates anymore, its only WD now.

Ever since getting involved in digital astro imaging I never seem to have enough storage on my hard drive. Over the last 6 years I have updated my laptop several times but it seems to take very little time before my hard drive becomes crowded again.
Think I have solved the problem though now, at least for a while. My new Toshiba has 640 GB That is 2 x 320 GB drives and I have a 320 GB satellite drive that I dump my images onto direct from my DMK. I think my current 960 GB capacity will do for a while.

All you youngin's, I remember we used to have races to see who could move beads on the abacus to calculate pie to the 13th decimal place. And that was before we even had decimals...
