Apr 2, 2009E6400 comes with 10/100/1000 ethernet card. However if you connect the laptop to 10/100 router,..
it will always connect at 10Mbps. I have other laptops with 10/100 ethernet card and it can connect at full speed 100Mbps. Why E6400 chose to connect at 10Mbps?.
I have checked the setting is Auto-Negotiate:
- E6400 connects at 10Mbps
- other laptop connects at 100Mbps

Apple :: 2007 Macbook Pro1.5Gb/s Vs 3.0Gb/s SATA
Nov 25, 2009I am planning on purchasing a new hard drive for my mid-2007 Macbook Pro. My MBP currently has a 120GB FUJITSU MHW2120BH, which runs at only 1.5Gb/s. However, the hard drive I want to purchase, Seagate Momentus 7200.4 runs at 3.0Gb/s. I don't know if there will be issues with this and if so, what are possible solutions?
View 8 Replies View RelatedApple :: Full Disk Encryption Options
Mar 17, 2010Was thinking about flipping the switch on FileVault, but the reported issues with backup restorations, increased susceptibility to corruption due to sparsefile usage, etc., have me concerned.
I currently use encrypted DMGs for the absolutely must-not-be-plaintext stuff, but I don't particularly want anything on my laptop available in the case of theft.
I'm also using a Time Capsule in conjunction with Time Machine for backups at the moment.
All that said, is anyone using, say, TrueCrypt or some other approach to full-disk encryption which they support?

Apple :: New 15 MacBook Pro - Should I Unplug It When The Battery Is Full
Jan 9, 2009I've been working with the new MacBook Pro for two weeks and I've found the battery life impressive. It let me work the whole morning (around five hours with a couple of ten minutes breaks, with wireless and half bright). I'd like to maintain this performance as longer as possible,
question is:
1. When I get back home I usually plug in the laptop to electricity to recharge the battery while I keep working in the afternoon for several hours, should I unplug it when the battery is full? Is a good thing to keep the laptop always plugged in?
My second question has to do with the fact that I'm a bit distracted, then,
2. Does this laptop have any way to let me know that there are, for instance, only ten minutes left before it go to sleep? (an acustic signal, a warning...)
Sony :: SZ160p Sata 1 Or Sata 2
Mar 9, 2010Has anyone installed a SSD drive in this model with success? If so, does the BIOS need to be upgraded? I have a Vertex 120 SSD drive I'm not using and am thinking about putting it in the Sony and installing Win 7/32 bit.
I would like for all the current functions to work such as the camera and video card. Would this be a big issue or should I just reload the original OS(XP).
Apple :: Full Startup Disk Errors With 40GB Free
Feb 4, 2009my 4 month old MBP keeps kicking out errors saying that my startup disk is almost full even though I have something like 40GB free. Windows partition works perfectly fine in boot camp. I've run Disk Utility's verify disk and permissions options with no errors and I was able to repair disk permissions just fine. The bootup hardware diagnostic tool with the OS X disk runs fine too. Onyx runs its cleanup functions fine, but I still get the error every now and again.
Obviously I have performed a backup and will likely make a trip to the Apple Store but has anyone encountered something like this? All signs point to software issues, but I'm still a little worried.

Dec 3, 2009Does anyone have any idea why? Is this something affecting Dell globally or is it just UK/Europe in a mess?
I guess I could survive with just wireless G, but it seems ridiculous to be limited to that these days;
I guess I could also just order it and pick up an intel/dell Wireless N card for ~£25 and install it myself,
but again the question arises, why is it necessary? I assume some of you do have an 802.11n card of some description in your 1645/1747's have you seen any problems with it? .....
Apple :: Spare Hard Drives - Home Replacement - And Full Disk Imaging
Jan 12, 2010I currently have everything I ever need on one laptop -- a mid-2009 15" MBP. Having had a slew of hard drive problems over the past few years, and given that such disks are regularly the source of problems (before, say, a logic board), I'm considering purchasing a spare hard drive and keeping it, or the one in my machine, as a backup disk for the day when my current drive dies. The closest Apple store is ~45 minutes away, and I'm perfectly capable of doing my own computer surgery. An inoperable laptop would be a pretty significant problem for me.
So basically, my questions are twofold:
- From perusing the hard drive threads a few months back here in the Apple forum, it seems like WD's Scorpio Blue (500 GB, 5400 RPM) is the popular choice. Given the time that's elapsed since its release (and the thinning of hard drive threads after the last "big one" I found), are there any other drives, SSD or standard, that can beat it in terms of power usage / noise / performance overall without gouging the bill too much?
- I use Time Machine with a Time Capsule to keep everything nice and backed up, but an HD/SSD swap would be best done with an image of my entire drive. Is Carbon Copy Cloner still the go-to for that?

Here's mine:
Dell :: E4200 128GB SSD Speed
Oct 30, 2009Does anybody have HD Tune or HD Tach benchmark for 1.8" 128GB SSD that comes in E4200 ?
I originally ordered refurbished E4200 with 64 GB SSD because I read it has better performance compared to 128GB model, but canceled the order because I realiezed 4 cell battery might be too small and the one I ordered does not come with fingerprint reader and bluetooth.
I ordered another one with 128GB SSD, fingerprint reader, 6 cell battery and bluetooth for just $40 more. (at cost of a little slower processor and no DVD-RW and latitude on capability )
I found HD Tune bechmark result for 64GB SSD, but I don't see benchmark for 128GB model.
I will be great if someone with 128GB SSD post HD Tune benchmark or at least post its modem number so I can read specifications.
R173J Module,Solid State Drive,128G S2,Thin Micro Sata,Samsung,XLO
This is what it says on my order, which is not very helpful in figure out what this SSD really is, other than its samsung model.

Oct 28, 2009I am trying to decide between the following 2 Z's which are approx. the same price.
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz / 4GB RAM / 128GB SSD / DVD±R/RW / Hybrid Graphics / 802.11AGN / WWAN / Bluetooth / GPS / Webcam / Windows 7 Professional [ SON VGNZ880GB ]
Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 2.66GHz / 4GB RAM / 500GB HD / DVD±R/RW / Hybrid Graphics / 802.11AGN / WWAN / Bluetooth / GPS / Webcam / Windows 7 Professional [ SON VGNZ850GB ]
I do everyday tasks like MS office,MS Streets, and use approx. 10GB for my multimedia files.
My first question is, will I notice the difference in speed? Will be the SSD with P8700 faster than the HDD 5400 RPM with P8800 in terms of boot,read-write documents etc?
If I go with the 128 GB SSD, how much free space can I expect to have on the drive after W7 ?
