PC`s are nearly ready to loose their internal harddrivesfor faster, less energy-intensive drives with flash memory, like in a camera or mobile phone, according to memory maker Micron. That is exciting news for victims of crashed hard drives and people who always want something new.
“I think it’ll be a story in 2011, and it’ll be pretty good penetration in 2012. But, you know, maybe I’m wrong,” said Mark Durcan, president and chief operating officer of Micron, during the Reuters Global Technology Summit.
There are some notebooks with SSD flash drives(like Apple’s super-thin MacBook Air) . but more are expected on the market as problems with this technology are diminishing — power efficiency now beats hard drives, and annoying problems which slowed solid state drives have been solved, he said, comparing now with when Appleton spoke, on the cusp of 2006.
“In 2006 it was the promise. It wasn’t the reality. But it’s real now.” Still, he added, computer makers are wary of the volatile prices.
The new Windows 7 has a built-in tool that walks you through making your own repair disc for serious system errors and major disastrous errors.
To make a repair disc, go to the Start menu and then the Control Panel area. Open the System and Maintenance category, select Backup and Restore. In the task panel on the left, click “Create a system repair disc” and follow the instructions on screen; you can use either CD or DVD.
If Windows 7 asks you to insert your installation discs, it means it can’t find the files it needs to make the repair disc, so you do need to dig up the original system discs here. Once you make the system repair disc, keep it too hand as it may come in handy. If you need to use it, boot up from the disc to see the system repair and recovery options at hand.
With the HX series, silver coated solid metal composite of 0.32mm width is used for cord instead of ordinal twisted copper line. The metal composite has excellent characteristics for transmitting low frequency signals and is also coated silver for high frequency signals. It delivers a pure digital signal for the best picture and sound.
The flat shape of the cord keeps adequate distance between the inside lines and therefore avoids signal interference between them. Although a comparatively thick solid cord is used for the HX series, thanks to the flatness, it is still flexible enough to bend without data interruption. Connection becomes easier, even in the tight space behind flat screen TVs.
