Spam Sammich

DaGoddess @ 05:32

Anyone else getting spammed heavily this weekend? Thank God for Akismet because I’m getting slammed by spam in the comments section. Someone’s gone loco with hitting WP blogs!

Speaking of computing (blogging=computing in my book), here’s a question for tech-ish people: which external hard drive do you recommend? I found a 1TB Western Digital external at Walmart for $78. I don’t know Western Digital or how good it is. I only know I will NOT use Seagate. I’ve had nothing but trouble with their stuff in the past. Then there’s a Toshiba 500GB for $74. Um…I just don’t know if there’s any real difference in quality between some of these brands or what. I only know that I’ll need to do something about my storage/backup system in the relatively near future and I want to do it right. (I could even go 2TB on Western Digital for $128…)

I’m in no rush. I just thought I’d ask some of you because y’all’ve always been smart and helpful in the past.

Now I’m going to go to bed. The blues festival ended last night at 2230 and I didn’t leave there until 0400 or thereabouts. Yeah, sittin’ around chatting away, listening to good music, talking about nothing and everything. Go figure. (I should probably upload the 1848 images from the show, but I’ll do that later. I’m beat.)

  1. I don’t think I’ve used a Toshiba hard drive, but I’ve never had a problem with a Western Digital.

  2. Check Tiger Direct for deals on external hard drives. I got a Toshiba for a ridiculously low price, and I see that have a 1 terabyte doohicky on sale for only $79.99. That’s a lot of storage for the money.

    WP needs to get its act together.
    (sigh) too much time clearing spam
    spam! spam! spam!

  6. Then I’ll go with the Western Digital. The price is right and I am quickly becoming a crazy ass shooter with far too many files to back up!

    KPete, whatever it was that came rolling in this weekend, it seems to have tapered off. Weird, huh?
