A great little HDD camcorder with one exception.
The first video I took with my SDR-H40 camcorder was of a small conference inside a moderately illuminated, windowless hangar. Since I was new to the camcorder, it was set to auto-white balance. The video came out fine, and better than I expected. When it [...]

I believe problems are resolved !

Maxtor L01P200 Internal, Great Hard Drive

Great Hard Drive
This is a great drive. It’s fast (about twice as fast as my other 2 and 3 year old 7200rpm drives) and it’s silent and seems to be reliable. It’s also at a great price for the capacity, and it’s Maxtor, a trusted name in hard drives. I got the ATA card with [...]

I have been using the WD Studio II 2TB on my 2008 iMac OSX 10.5.6 for two weeks. Connection: firewire 800. Today, it did not mount when I booted the computer.

A little pricey for its capacity, but a solid hard drive

I ordered this drive because of the capacity and the price figuring that when it arrived I would simply reformat it as HFS+ and plug it into my Macintosh Network. The problem was that every time I tried to use Disk Utility to reformat it I kept getting [...]
