I haven't tested a Macrium image yet, but the backups
seem to have gone smooth, I like Macrium.
Now I'll put this 'Acronis True Image WD Edition'
to the test--I have a nearly identical (to my boot
drive) Caviar Blue, still in the static bag, perfect
--thanks very much for pointing this out.
I also have a Seagate drive--and it is a little noisy,
now quieter after a defrag, but still noisy compared
with the WDC Caviar. I'll have to poke around, I guess
my PCs bios manages the WD drives better than the Seagate
or I need to change the settings for the latter.
The Barracuda was one I added...the WDC Caviar Blue
shipped with the PC. That little popping sound reminds
me of my first noisy PC twenty years ago, a noisy 100MB
HDD--gotta fix that, although most of the time I just
use it for the backup images and deactivate it.
On my first PC I had os/2 and a tape backup, boy was
that slow, but at the time it was very cool, ha! |
