Here's the link to the Seagate site with info on that drive. Sounds pretty good with the 8mb buffer. Glad to hear it's a Seagate since they now have a 5 year warranty. http://www.seagate.com/products/discfamily/momentus/ Here's a link...
Thanks. I really was confused about bluetooth and blackberry. Was told by people at several stores that bluetooth was an idea that came and went. Maybe they meant blackberry. Either way, I'm looking into it now. I allready bought a...
I ordered the bluetooth with mine but not sure why. Maybe to interface with a cell phone or PDA? To be honest, thought Bluetooth was Blackberry (duh) and knew that some cell phones and PDA's use it. I travel quite a bit and just thought...
