After a chum of mine read a story about Seagate's general availability of its Barracuda Serial ATA (S-ATA) drives at the end of January, he gave me a call on my cell.

Apparently Seagate will be releasing the Barracuda series of S-ATA hard disks sometime either at the end of February or at the beginning of March.

She said that its biggest capacity drive will be the 5400 RPM (revs per minute) 300GB model, which previously was going to be a 320GB drive.* and it pays to know people.

As far as the CDand cdrw the fastest one is 56x, I was simple able to relay it to drive a little faster and with the hepl of a inducing program "like" Nero's cdspeed amplifying program i achieved my, 72x it's not that difficult. However the cdrw was a little more difficult, i sent it in to a buddy of mine as I was only able to achive the write speed of 52 he did the rest .. based on the same priciple I used to speed up the normal cdrom

funny how the largest Seagate drive on their site is only 182GB....

There are NO 56X drives out there, let alone 48 rewrite drives

and you cannot make your cd-writer or cd-rom faster with Nero CDspeed... sorry its all :x

username you made your point, the guy is posing....
