I did service the ACER laptop of a friend of mine once. Never again. Disassembling and reassembling an ACER laptop is an experience I wish to nobody. You get what you pay for.

I don't know. If I have to clone drives (same size) I simply use "dd" (UNIX). Otherwise, I install from scratch. Otherwise, MPC likes http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm is I correcly recollect.

If you want only one for a desktop or a single-drive NAS go with the WD2001FASS. If you want several for RAID go with the WD2003FYPS whose MSRP has not been published by WD yet.

NewEgg sells the enterprise/raid RE4-GP version there WD2002FYPS there http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136365

But the  WD2003FYPS is not on their catalog yet.

The regular black caviar is there: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136456&cm_re=WD2001FASS-_-22-136-456-_-Product but is deactived.

 It would be nice if the article mentioned which one they are talking about (Caviar Black $ or RE4-GP $+ or RE4 $++ ?)

According to the picture, the WD2001FASS?

...to have a lot of technical books handy. I finally solved the need with a tablet PC (a HP TX2 discounted at $800, got rid of Vista put Win 7 instead). Pros: it has colors, a pen, is not unencumbered with limitations or proprietary formats, doubles as video player, it's a PC. Cons: much heavier than an e-reader, less battery time (my guess), more expensive than an e-reader. A dream come true on an airplane (low-life class seat) when you use it in tablet mode. So far, I love it. Next in pipe: indexing PDF, DOC, CHM with some OSS software.
