FAQ on external hard drives:
1. How to share the hard drive between PC & MAC?
The external hard drives will be delivered to you properly
partitioned and formatted as NTFS or FAT32. NTFS format
can not be read/write under Windows 98 / ME / MAC OS 9.x,
Mac OS 10.x will be able to read but can not write it. If
you want to use it for MAC only, then you can use "Disk
Utility" to erase the hard drive and format as HFS+
(MAC OS extended), see the picture on the right.
If you wish to use the drive between PC & MAC just
for data/file backup purposes (not for system backup), then
you can use FAT32 which can be read/write by Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
and MAC OS 9.x/10.x. Please add your special request to
format the drive as FAT32 while order online if you want
to. With Windows VISTA gradually gaining popularity, NTFS
becomes much more popular choice than FAT32 because Windows
VISTA is not compatible with FAT32 (it will not even read).
2. How to avoid hard drive crash / how to maintain the external
hard drive?
Hard drives are delicate machines, they are prone to vibration
and shock especially when they are powered because they
are spinning at very high speed (7200 RPM), vibration and
shock can cause the reading head dip into the magnetic surface,
which may damage the reading head as well as the magnetic
surface (bad sectors).
The golden rule: Do NOT move the external hard drives once
they are powered; and move them only if the power is off.
This rule also applies to the internal hard drives of computers
/ laptops: Do NOT move the laptop /computer once the power
is on.
3. What brand is your external hard drive? What is the warranty?
As mentioned, Allcam is the first in UK to assemble external
hard drives. Most of the external hard drives have Hitachi
Deskstar 7200 rpm hard drive inside, occasionally some 80
GB external hard drives might have Excelstor or Western
Digital hard drive inside. All the external hard drives
and portable hard drives we are selling comes with 1 year
warranty (Return to base, Nottingham). Extend to 2 years
for £10 and 3 years for £25 only.
4. Is your external hard drives Windows VISTA compatible?
Yes! Most likely all our external hard drives works straight
away by powering on and plugging in (Windows VISTA will
install the new hardware automatically and show it as a
new drive in "My Computer"). However, the early
version of Windows VISTA is buggy and you might have to
manually install the driver even though it already exist
in the Windows VISTA system. Please also note that Windows
VISTA no longer support FAT32 file format, so if the hard
drive was previously formatted as FAT32 then you would have
to reformat it again.
