Got a new WD 320 GB HDD and a 19″ SAMSUNG LCD

September 13th, 2008 by Fahd

Well I got a new Western Digital 320 GB HDD for storing my mobile HDD disk as its having some problem. Circuitry heats up and the USB based drives just disappear from My Computer. Pretty strange!

Thanks God, its still in warranty limit and I am gonna get it replaced. Though for moving its data that’s already in the portable HDD, I asked Farhan (my friend) how should I do do. he suggested that we should get the HDD crack opened, connected to SATA port and then transfer its data into brand new HDD I bought. The idea works and I have all my Movies and the Ebooks rescued :)

I am still checking my Samsung LCD. The computer shop named Regent Computers didn’t proved to be sound professionals, they sold me the LCD monitor for PKR 16,900 and its price they mentioned a day before was PKR 15,500. Its a rip off. Anyhow I believe they would pay for it as when you do such deed it all tells upon you.

One thing I dont like about this LCD Monitor is, it doesn’t have the back panel for varying the height of the LCD screen. The second thing is, I am unable to bend it to an appropriate angle. Yeah it looks good in comparison with my Old Philips 105 E CRT monitor (15″) but its not very impressive even if its quite glossy. May be I am expecting too much. Honestly I don’t care about the price but you should get what you pay for. In this case, I don’t think I got what I wanted. Anyhow this is life.

About the 320 GB HDD, I am happy/satisfied as it saved my life. Saved my data for me. And they sold it to be for PKR 5,900.
