That said, the story remains the drive's single-user performance. In the end, the Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 blows away the competition by margins seldom seen in the hard drive world. Though it does not come cheaply, the Travelstar's showing is so superior to that of any other drive's that it stands as the only choice for those striving to attain true desktop-level performance from a portable system.

What is happening. Is there an exception or just nothing? Can you see the plugin in the "Configure Plugins dialog"?
I am using Vitalyb's SDK but it should target .NET 2.0. Are you using the FARRAltTab plugin? (Which was build with the first release of the SDK)

(but... i'm having the problem mouser mentions...)Armando: I'm using locate 3.0 build 7.12260, from the x64 build.-f0dder (December 27, 2007, 06:33 PM)
didn't even notice !Like f0dder, though, I'd go for the faster drive... For me, size isn't a huge factor as I already have a 500GB external and by the time I fill that up no doubt we'll be seeing TB notebook drives...-Darwin (December 29, 2007, 11:56 AM)
The M5S top model is called HD250JI, spins at 5,400 RPM and outperforms almost every other 2.5" hard drive. Even better, it does so without requiring more energy than its direct competitors. Only 7,200 RPM drives such as the Fujitsu MHW2160BJ deliver quicker access times and better I/O performance, but in terms of data transfer performance the new Samsung drive is already very close. Both drives are backed by a three-year factory warranty.http://www.tomshardw...capacity/page10.html
Fujitsu shows better overall performance and quicker access times, while Samsung's drive offers 50% higher capacity and lower energy requirements. So, which one should the real enthusiast go for? If you're looking for maximum performance, there is no way around the MHW2160BJ, as it even surpasses Seagate's Momentus 7200.2 with higher transfer rates and better energy efficiency. For maximum performance for desktop replacement PCs, I'd go for the Fujitsu drive at this time, because additional storage can be added via external storage devices. The mobile user should rather go for the Samsung HM250JI, because it offers almost comparable performance, but has the capacity reserves you might need on the road.

WATCH Canada Border Services Agency!!!!! They'll slap a $5 inspection fee onto your package and then PST and GST and possibly duty as well. I got my Donationcoder mug in the post and had to pay $18.16 in taxes and inspection fees to be able to take possession (NB it shipped with an invoice indicating the price as $99.99).
Somehow, everything I ordered through eBay never went through this lengthy and costly process...)Edit: Is there a GridMove grid-making tutorial? If not I'm thinking of making one.-Tyinsar (December 26, 2007, 10:21 PM)
