According to transcend's website the model I'm referring to is 25m.
Welcome to Transcend Website - StoreJet 25M (grey & orange). Its the only kind I've seen at shops.
I haven't come across the 25f.(Welcome to Transcend Website - StoreJet 25F). Doesn't seem as sturdy as the 25m either.
Is there a big difference between the 2?
yes there is actually......for the review on the 25m.....heres it....
Transcend StoreJet 25M - DigitalVersus
this says-It takes 41 seconds to write 1 GB to the drive and 33 seconds to retrieve it.....so not a pretty good....write speed.....plus the only thing backing up is the rubber casing.....
i believe go for a hdd that has the esata connector port as till the usb 3.0 doesn't come into scene...the fastest write and read speeds are offered by esata only......
but...going with esata could also pose as a problem.....if suppose u carry your ext hdd with u...and u end up using pc somewhere that doesn't a have an esata port...there this may become troublesome for u...otherwise going with esata based drives is a good idea if you dont have to carry it with you always and every where.....also if you are actually interested in carrying the device with you....go for the-Seagate 500GB FreeAgent Desk USB 2.0 External Hard Drive.....or the Western Digital My Passport Essential 500GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive - Black...or the Seagate Expansions 500GB External Desktop USB 2.0 Hard Drive

@topgear
At 3.15ghz, I am able to boot into windows with all power saver features turned off.
But the my pc restarts as soon as the cpu hits 100%, even at the last moment the temps don't cross 65c.
I guess it is due to voltage or the ram is holding it back.
And i can't really buy an x58 mobo and an i7 right now so not in the mood for a massive upgrade.
Thats why i prefer to go for a (ddr3 + avg. overclocking + p45) mobo and i will get the transcend 2gig ddr3 ram for 2.3k, i guess after selling my mobo and ram and 2 packed(with warranty card) transcend 4gig pen drives and a pixelview tv tuner(inbuilt) i can get the new mobo + ram for like 2.5k or a bit more(as rest i would gain by selling).
What say??
Is my decision okay?
BTW, why am i not able to post a new thread in the bazaar section?
My post count might be low as i don't get enough time to be an active participant, but i am sensible enough to post in the bazaar section & if it is really to do with my post count then how many posts should i have before i can start creating new threads?
Sorry for this query but i am using my phone with superslow internet and unlimited browser restrictions and hence i just cannot ask by making new threads(yes i can create them but not in the bazaar section) and for me time is also a very big factor for me as i am preparing for iit jee.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry forum members and MODS if it hurts.
regarding the temp and overclocking problems of yours......i swear i tell....you reading this from you prev posts.....i have an intel p4 based sytem too....and my mobo is like really old..!!!....but who says they dont have bios overclocking.....its always there....goto your BIOS...there will be an option called....frequency/voltage control.....use that to change the fsb as well as the cpu volt......but remember as u said that ur pc is being pushed off limits before even crossing 65 C(good you turned off all power saving features...even form the BIOS i believe)....the reason is...although the said temp is good for the the sys u have now.....actually the voltages aren't working fine(is it greater than 1.5V...if it is....this is not good)...
cpu usage becomes 100%....and ur pc restarts...this is becoz....firstly....the overclock aint working good.....
1.goto the BIOS and reset all settings to default values....
2.do not use any software volt alteration or fsb alteration....rather do it form thr BIOS...becoz the actual voltages are diff...the one shown on the software(even cpu -z) have voltage overheadds added to the value...
3...then reset memory module voltages and frequency to default as well....
4.then its time to play...go to the said option in the bIOS...and change or rather increment the fsb slowly...in small values.....and then check the prime 95 for only 15 min session.....
then after a "not an extreme" but "fairly ample" overclocking is done....run the prime 95 for a larger duration...and then if necessary increment the cpu voltage....further if its necessary.. change the memory frequency and voltage as well...though i advise you to ....change the memory values only if you are like very interested to do so...
.....and buy a cooler only if the temps go higher than the said safe value of 65C....but i know it wont....and don't overdo the overclocking.....i advise you to only increase in smaller steps...
and regarding the posting of thread problem.....i believe the inability to post new threads in the bazaar section shouldn't be related to the smaller post count....delete the temp internet files ,cache etc of ur browser and login and try again...and see if it works or not...or else try any other browser too...
...i hope all this helps....
now regarding the temp count....
