WD My Book 3 TB

My new 3 TB WD external hard drive arrived today from Tiger Direct. It's one of the new generation drives with > 2 TB capacity. It was a little pricey but having that much capacity on a single unit justified it. I have been playing with it, seems OK, works well, comes with its own driver. The only disappointment is that the WD TV Live media player won't; recognize it, the current firmware doesn't support anything above 2 TB. I traded emails with one of their engineers, sounds like they are working on a firmware update that may provide that support, but it's not guaranteed yet. they have had a lot of trouble with data getting corrupted on the larger drives, even their own. Has to do with cluster sizes, etc.

In any event, I have hooked up the drive via USB 3 to my server, will use it as a network share for the time being.

tue night

the kindle is getting page numbers finally, and DEC's Ken Olsen dies.

it's supposed to be ultra cold tonight, it's 20 F right now and the weather man said we will go down to 10 F or less, brrr.

monday

monday night, eating some late night dinner, watching CSI Miami in the background. watched bits and pieces of the superbowl yesterday, the half time show was cool with the black eyed peas and slash, plus usher, cool. got tired before the game finished, so skipped the fourth quarter .
