Title: New HDD Technology--Will effect Imaging Software! Post by NightOwl on Feb 4th, 2010 at 10:34am
To All
Well, here it comes....New HDD technology that will cause older imaging software to have potential problems going forward... This new larger HDD technology is probably at the root of why with WinVista and Win7, the type of Master Boot Sector (Track) has been in transition from the old style 63 sectors.

Possible link?--I've never linked to a *newsgroup* here on the forum--is that possible--or is that something that can not be rendered on a web browser--requires one's email program to act as a reader? (As you probably can see, I don't spend time on *newsgroups*--just can't fit it all into my schedule!!!) This is what I love about Radified forums--there are smart people who are savvy, search the web for technology information, keep up with the ever changing information, and share it here! I'm still wrapping my head around the new HDD technology, the new terminology, and it's effects on how imaging programs will interact (interfere?!) with creating and restoring HDD images--never mind the ongoing debate as to whether the average person will notice a performance hit vs not noticing! To be honest--HDD's that are becoming so large--there's a tipping point where making backups of one's data (be it OS partitions or all the other data) may become an impossibly time consuming task if one is actually using and filling up those huge HDDs with programs and data! |
