HP Mini Note 2140 Review

After a week of taking the HP Mini Note 2140 for a spin, I’d say HP has finally made a comeback in the fight for netbook market share (and HP doesn’t even want to call the mini a netbook).

Unboxing: Western Digital My Book 500GB

I have an old external generic drive case which I got at a cheap price of around Php560. Its now handling a 160GB Seagate HDD which I use to transfer media files from one workstation to another or to my laptop (the 54Mbps LAN just wouldn’t cut it). So, when I saw this Western Digital 500GB My Book at a sale price back in Funan IT Mall, I grabbed one right away.

I was un-boxing it last night while taking pictures…

The thing looks like a black XBox 360. Been transferring files from the old hard drive to this one in the last 24 hours and it’s still just over half way there. Though this one runs at USB 2.0 speeds, the old one is hooked up on a USB hub which seems to be downgrading the transfer speed to USB 1.0 or something.
