For those who’ve graduated to more modern systems, there’s the new 3TB Hitachi XL USB 2.0, an external archive solution designed to be sat horizontally or vertically and operate with both PC and Mac platforms. Lastly, the company is finally shipping the 7K3000 and 5K3000 internal hard drives to OEMs and channel partners, but the 3TB version of the latter won’t hit until next quarter. As for pricing? All’s quiet on the western front… save for that XL, anyway — that one’s going for $249.99 (3TB), $169.99 (2TB) and $99.99 (1TB).

December 15, 2010 No Comment
So what if Google knows and remembers all our data, at least it’s turning that stuff into something useful. The latest enhancement to its Gmail client is a neat Contacts restoration option, which can rewind you back to a maximum of 30 days ago, offering a chance to recover rashly deleted email addresses or to remedy an ill-advised sync with any of your other contact-keeping services. As is par for the course with Gmail, it’s a neat and seemingly minor improvement that’ll probably keep users from leaving it for greener pastures over the long term as they grow accustomed to its security. Just how Google likes it. Gmail can now restore deleted contacts, still can’t mend broken friendships originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 15 Dec 2010 02:42:00 EDT.
