portable hard drive 10 tb image
M -
Today i just bought a new WD Elements 2 TB portable external HDD and formatted it to the default allocation unit size and NTFS.
My problem is that while i tried to transfer files (both, from my internal laptop hdd to this new one and another external hdd i have of 500 gb to the new one) the transfer randomly freezes for about 10 seconds and continues again (the bar gets stuck and the remaining data to transfer remains at the same number).
For example, i try to copy a few files to the WD hdd and the transfer goes up to 40 mb then at some file it gets stuck for 10 seconds and it resumes with a speed of 10 mb increasing its speed again to 30/40 mb and all over again at some random file the same thing happens.
Im using Usb 2.0 ports with windows 7 and i consider the speed its good for my system but this is the problem...the random freezing.It doesnt happen if i transfer files between my pc and the other 500 gb hdd i have or between my internal hdd partitions.
Any kind of methods i could try would be really helpful !!!

This is not strange thing, this is common in windows. When you are copying files to and from your External HDD, there will always be some system configuration files or some files with hidden attributes like .ini files or .db files. While copying windows will check for permissions level you have and authorize you to copy the files, doing this it may take some seconds.
If you copy large files at once like Movies or Games, it will copy faster.
When you try to copy images it will copy at a slower pace and may freeze at times.

Jennifer
My dad is finally letting me get my own laptop. But I've recently been liking the IPad. I not really interested in all the apps I could get on the IPad. Im just gonna use the internet. And what I need to know is it better than a laptop. And also can you get microscope word. And can you take pictures, and videos on it.

Here's a little pro/con on the iPad:
Pros:
Apple OS (If you like Apple)
lightweight (1.3 lbs),
thin (.34 inches thick),
Front & Rear Cameras, front is VGA, rear is 720p,
Video output supports up to 1080p (which means you could hook this up to a pocket projector or other monitor),
10 hour battery life (I can't verify),
White & Black color options
Cons:
â¢Apple OS (If you don't like Apple), 1GHz dual-core A5 CPU (A low-end, $299 laptop at Wal Mart usually has at least a 1.7 or better processor, can be up to 2.3 GHz for a low-end $399 computer. So you double the speed and cut the price in half, basically, if you go with a laptop.
â¢512MB RAM, The same low-end laptop at Wal Mart usually has at least 1 GB of RAM, which is double that of the iPad. The $399 laptop can have up to 4 GB of RAM, which is 4 times the RAM of the iPad.
â¢16GB, 32GB, 64GB storage options: Good grief. Your most low-end laptops have at least 320 GB of storage capacity. A good $400 laptop has anywhere between 500 GB and 1 TB (1,000 GB) worth of storage. I have a 5 year old Gateway Tablet PC (look up M280E on Google Images) that has more hard drive space than the iPad, and it even had a stylus setup.
â¢9.7â³ LED display with 1024Ã768 screen resolution at 132ppi: This isn't bad for a tablet, but a netbook (which is about the lowest grade of PC you can get) has about this big of a screen, and it still has better other options. (Storage capacity, RAM, etc.)
The iPad probably has a word processor built-in. (Or it might be available as an app... I don't know.) But it would be a royal pain, I think, to actually type out anything on that small screen. A full-size keyboard is larger than 9 inches to begin with, so to fit the keyboard onto the iPad, they'll have it shrunken down. Trust me, it's a royal pain to use that kind of stuff. (If you've ever had a phone or used a friend's phone that had a touch screen, you understand what I mean.)
To me personally, I think it's a lot easier and a lot better to buy a regular PC laptop from Acer, HP, Dell, etc. and just upgrade what you want. Even the base models have faster and better features than what this iPad seems to have. And you can even buy spare batteries for a laptop. You probably can't do that for an iPad. The same goes for the iPad's internals. You probably can't replace the hard drive, RAM, or other internal components yourself. With a laptop PC, they are made so that you can easily replace the internal components that I mentioned. And there's plenty of online sources to show you how to make the upgrades you want. I highly recommend going out and purchasing a laptop PC. And here's the specs you want to look for:
CPU Speed: Around 2.7-3.0 GHz. That will last you a long time, and you can do a lot more with a good processor. An i3, i5, or i7 processor from Intel are all decent processors. Look for a quad-core rather than a dual-core. Dual core processors were good when they first came out about 10 years ago, but now they're starting to get phased out in favor of the quad (4) core processors.
RAM: 4-16 Gigabytes is what you want to go for. If all you'll do is surf the web you won't need a lot, typically 4 Gigabytes is a common number in decent laptops.
Hard Drive Size: 500 GB to 1 TB (1,000 Gigabytes) are good sizes to look for. They have plenty of space to start with, and you can get a 1 TB external drive for around $125 at Wal Mart if you need more room, or more portable space.
Video Card Capacity/Speed: Now more than ever it's important to consider how fast your computer's monitor can put out information. You don't want to get a laptop that can't play a DVD. (Even low-end ones can, but don't expect to play 3D high-resolution games on it) A "Non-integrated" card is really nice because it can be replaced, but a laptop with a non-integrated card can be very expensive. (upwards of $800 or more.) It's a good idea to have a laptop with an ATI graphics card, or an nvidia graphics card. They're the best cards out there, and even the low-end cards they make are better than the cheap ones in the low-end laptops.
Networking capability: Most laptops have a connection where you can connect an Ethernet cable for line-based networking. However, you'll most likely be using your laptop at school or a public internet place that uses WiFi technology. There are three kinds of WiFi: B,G, and N. You want a laptop capable of using an N network. It's the fastest connection currently available, and if you have an N capability, you most likely have G and B capability as well. (G and B are slower connections. G is the most common in schools and libraries where I'm from in Wisconsin.)
I hope you can understand all that, and I wish you well in finding what you'll need.
