Watched the Forbidden Kingdom today in theaters and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
10 out of 10 in my book…
Bought a Belkin Latop Cooling Pad to replace my Antec one (from BestBuy). The Antec ChillPad is kinda loud so it’s going to sit under my external HDDs if anything. My laptop rests happily upon my new Belkin Pad, silence….

Well, the WD 500GB External (3.5″) was disappointing as well thanks to the long delays between spin-downs and that it still generates heat, like the Seagate did, when not in use.
I returned the drive because I did not feel it was worth $170. I’ve dropped the External want for now and have settled for another WD Passport drive, 250GB model (2.5″) off my brother for a mere $30 (in store prices are at least $100 more than that). It’s used but so is my older 160GB one I bought off him and it works 100% fine still to today. (My Zune was in the photo so I mentioned it.)

So I bought a Western Digital My Book 80GB external HDD I think 3 years ago? and it’s a good drive but I’m now sick of running out of room on my external HDDs (and internal), I have a 160GB external WD ‘passport’ (2.5″) drive but it’s silly to use that as a main external HDD in my humble opinion.
Which leads to my latest purchase, the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 500GB. This baby was on sale for $100 at BestBuy this week (down from $200). It’s not only USB 2.0 but also eSATA, no firewire – however firewire 400 is silly and it comes with most externals. 800 would have been nice but hey, it was $100 and has some nice software tools/backup utilities (plus a 5-year warranty).

EDIT: I’ve since returned the Seagate drive because it would get hot enough to fry an egg with. I bought a WD 500GB My Book and was not impressed with it either, so I took it back to the store as well.
