Mass transfer of data?
<< < (4/10) > >>
JonnyBoy:
It's not an enclosure, per se, just a cable with an attached usb port and a power adapter for the molex pins. But I agree, it's the same concept.

Oh, and a word of caution...I'm pretty sure the drive has to set to master for the enclosure to work (at least mine does).  So, if you have problems with windows seeing the drive, make sure it's jumpered to master.
JonnyBoy:
Thanks for the warning. My hard drive is currently on master so I don't foresee a problem. I hope to have my cab done by the end of the week and have some serious data to transfer, I'll keep you guys updated.

Your e-mail most likely doesn't work behind the router due to the configuration in your e-mail client. Most isp's allow for "simple" e-mail server config when directly connected to the internet - you just use "mail" as the server name. When you connect through a router that generally won't work and you have to supply the full, actual server name. Here in Canada on shaw cable an example would be:
simple server config  = shawmail
full server config = shawmail.ok.shawcable.net


You could also use a crossover network cable to directly connect the network cards on each computer and transfer files.

I still don't see what the problem with burning five DVDs would be. You transfer your data and you get a backup. Win-win. You could do this on a Sunday afternoon while you drink beer and watch TV. Win-win-win.

Or are you one of those guys who think that drive failures only happen to other people? I used to be, before I lost my first hard drive.
