    Laptops Laptop Stutters with very slow performance

    Does it behave the same way when not connected to the mains? If yes, how about when the battery is removed, but powered via the mains? I have seen similar problems where either of a bad power adapter or battery was the cause especially in situations where the HDD checks out fine.

    Looking at alarm clocks

    Maybe I just got a lemon, but after about three months, the second hand on my Seiko analog clock is stuck rendering it useless. I've now got to lug the thing into a service center.

    Storage Solutions WD Elements vs Passport

    I use an RN104 with 4TB Reds. None of the Red drives I have used needed WDIDLE3 to be run (i.e.) the aggressive head parking was not enabled out of the box. On the other hand a WD Green needed to have WDIDLE3 to be run and that was really easy to do. My experience with the 4TB WD Reds is...
