Partitioning your hard drive in order to accommodate all the stored files in an organized manner is definitely not a daily task for any user.

Solid-state drives are already the new trend if you own a laptop and have the necessary money to spare. The bad news was that the SSDs are in the pioneering stage and capacity barriers are somewhat low as compared to the classic hard-drive industry. A few days ago, Micron has made a bold move and introduced 32 and 64... |

The conventional design of a hard disk drive calls for a read/ write head to modify the magnetic field of a certain memory bit in order to modify its stored value and thus information. While this method has been in use for decades and it is reliable and quite fast, researchers from the Netherlands and Japan tried a d... |

Usually, hard disk drives are pretty silent hardware components. I mean, of course you can hear them, but the normal sounds they make are not too powerful and they appear under heavy workloads. Or so it is supposed to be, as there are some older drives that make a lot of noise when running at full capacity.Sometimes,... |

It looks as if the entire computer manufacturing industry is having a collective green "fit". It is not something really new, some power regulations were installed long ago, but not until now were they so closely observed and respected.

A room that has a Class 10 certification represents an almost perfect environment. Why almost perfect? Because you can find 10 particles of dust in every cubic meter of air, or so I've been told. Such a room is being used by research companies for analysis of certain elements in a controlled environment. One wel... |
