michael70 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 just bought a seagate external portable drive 320 gb and was able to transfer all my picture, music and document files, but after 2 weeks when I plugged in my portable drive it lit up (the greed led bulb) and kept emitting a beeping sound and the drive never opened in my pc. When I brought it to the retail store they tested it and it functioned properly and the clerk even showed me my files.. when I returned home again it just went beep without showing up in the pc.. can anyone help me with this predicament?

eiddref Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Got a gift from a client.... its a 2TB Lacie External Harddisk! Yey! *Salamat ulit Sir* Quote Link to comment
Gideon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 just got WD My Passport 320GB black... kaya lang bakit kaya 297GB na lang nung ginagamit na??? 320gb is the UNFORMATTED state... I believe the filesystem used the 23gb when FORMATTED... Same lang halos tayo nung Buffalo 320gb ko (NTFS)... Quote Link to comment
arvinix Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 anyone care to explain how the RAID system works using multiple HDDs? Quote Link to comment
wolfy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 320gb is the UNFORMATTED state... I believe the filesystem used the 23gb when FORMATTED... Same lang halos tayo nung Buffalo 320gb ko (NTFS)... The filesystem isn't using 23gb. Some guy in marketing caused this problem a long time ago. Most numbers in a computers go back to a 2 to the power x number. 1 Kb is 1024 (2^10) bytes1 Gb is 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 1.073.741.824 bytes Now what they use in marketing harddisks & usb drives actually anything that has storage is 1 Kb = 1000 bytes1 Gb = 1.000.000.000 bytes That where your difference comes from. So you think you buy 1.073.741.824 bytes per Gb but in fact you buy 1.000.000.000 bytes oer Gb. Quote Link to comment
