After my last problems with Dell I thought I would try Dabs.com for my next purchase, they had a good over on, order £75+ and have £5.00 off and free delivery if I order over £100, so I made up an order, a big 500GB hard disk (I’ve filled my 250GB drive), an external enclosure for my old 250GB drive and a USB 2 multi card reader to download for my camera’s pictures and to make the order upto £100.
The order was delayed fours days for security checks! I knew I shouldn’t have asked from delivery to the ARC. Ha.Ha.
I spent the last two nights copying data from my old drive to the new one, fitting the new one in my PC and fitting the old one from my PC into the enclose, so I can keep a backup of my files.
Last night I thought I would download the pictures from my camera using the new Dabs Value 53-in-1 External USB2.0 Reader @ 480 mega bits per second (sorry I was an excided geek).
I plugged in the card reader, 4 new hard drives displayed, gr8, inserted my camera’s compact flash card into the reader, 4 drives disappeared, O know I thought, unplugged it, 4 drives displayed once more. I know I’ll try the card which came with the camera, plugged it in, off they went again! Looks like I’ve got a faulty card reader. I’ll have to pack it up and send it back.
