Western Digital My Book 500 GB

Posted 20 years ago · 4 Comments

A new piece of hardware! I already have an external harddrive, a Maxtor Onetouch II 250 GB, unfortunately it suddenly broke down (sadly a few weeks after recommending it to Niclas). I can still access the files through file recovery programs, but it’s not of much use when I can’t add new data to it. Therefore, I’ve now ordered a new harddrive, a Western Digital My Book Premium Edition, with a memory capacity of 500 GB, hopefully I can recover the files from the Onetouch II, and format it, so it’s useable again. Naturally I’m pretty psyched about this new one, it looks incredible, and 500 GB should be more than enough. Also, the inner blue light on the front is a capacity gauge, it shows you how much space is free on the disk, pretty cool gimmick. Oh yes, it costs 2,000 DKK, bought from shg.dk.

Some specifications and photos:

Rotational Speed: 7,200 RPM
Read Seek Time: 8.9 ms
Capacity: 500 GB
Serial Transfer Rate: USB 2.0 and FireWire 400
Dimensions: 172.2 mm (height) x 143 mm (length) x 56.7 mm (width)
Weight: 1.32 kg

8th of december is the day! Not that bright preordering it, because now the waiting time is even more unbearable. I also ordered the games The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Red Steel, approx. 3,000 DKK for everything.

To keep the site updated, because I'm bored and because I'm suddenly earning a lot of money, here's an entry about the stuff I've bought lately.

Quake IV and GUN for 100 DKK each in Merlin. Been playing both games a little, interesting gameplay in GUN, although the mouse-controls seem to have some sort of acceleration, so if the cursor is dragged outside the screen it happens in a violent, uncontrollable speed. It's still pretty entertaining though. Quake IV is very cool, nice graphics, off course, and exciting levels. Although, as most FPS-games these days, the difficulty-rating is a joke, it's not even that challenging at the hardest option.

70 DKK in Blockbuster, couldn't help myself, enjoyed the demo so I had to buy the game. The tactical possibilities are entertaining, although they could've been implemented better. Also, the AI isn't working optimally, the soldiers don't always understand how to hide behind obstacles.

I also found the Island, cheap, in Merlin. I saw the movie in the cinema, wasn't that impressed, but still a fine action-movie… and Scarlett Johansson stars in it.
