Hard Drive RMA

Leave a comment

My Western Digital 500gb Elements hard drive bought last year from Target at Black Friday died a couple of weeks ago. The warrantee was almost up and I had them do an advanced RMA. The replacement drive is like what you see in the brick and mortar stores, a plastic book. Runs well so far.

I’m thinking of altering my backup solution. Currently I’m using SyncToy 2.0, but get annoyed at the dialog messages popping up in the middle of the backups. Seems it has trouble previewing what files have changed. I click the dialog boxes away and everything goes on. I may go to SyncBack freeware unless there is a way to tell SyncToy to skip the messages.

Power Back Up

Hurricane Ike took out our power around me for three days. We lost the contents of the frig, but nothing major. Going to get new stuff after a lunch today. Was a good way to clear out the old sauces though.

I’m typing this using the new Live Writer Beta. Seems pretty good so far. Will it replace going to the site itself for edits? Not sure yet.
