I ordered me another external harddrive last week from Buy.com. I got a Cavalry Storage 500GB USB 2.0 drive and it arrived today.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Who is Cavalry Storage?” You know what?! I asked myself the same thing until I read the user comments on Buy.com that said this thing worked flawlessly and quietly. On top of that, how can you beat 500GB of external storage for $144.95 and free shipping?! I mean that equates to like 29 cents per gigabyte… Great find if you ask me.
I have it plugged in, formatted for use with my MacBook and can’t even hear the thing over there running. The only way I know it is on is because it has a beautiful blue LED on the front of it and Mac OS X has recognized it and mounted it successfully. The transfer speeds are great since USB 2.0 is so good to me. I look forward to loading this thing up with, uh, something soon. I’m sure I have some files and folders I can pull off of my1 60GB internal SATA drive in my MacBook and throw on there.
Anyway, I wanted to tell the world about my new “gadget” and how it is working so far.
Until next time…

Sounds great! Do I need one of those? Probably not anytime soon! Although I might need some help cleaning some junk off our hard drive. I think it’s in desperate need of some spring cleaning — and maybe a disk defrag!

Do you need one of these?! Only if you have data you would like to backup or if you have a digital camera and want to store your digital photos of your beautiful kids on there for safe keeping. You can also keep photos of your husband on there, too. I’m just saying!

If I had the $$$ to get a digital camera, I’d probably get one of those! However, there doesn’t seem to be a surplus right now to update my gadgets!

We’ll see what we can do. I have an Olympus C700 that has had the glass lenses broken out of it that I may can get fixed and pass it on to you and your family.
I’ll see what I can do.

That would be nice! Do you know what we’re using for a camera? Remember the camera Mom and Dad gave me in high school that “printed” the date on the pictures? It still works, although it won’t print the date anymore!

What?! No date?! That’s ridiculous! I’d see if it is still under the manufacturer’s limited-lifetime warranty!
