Well, I'm on 36GB at the momemnt, so the HDD is essential.
I've been told that 5600RPM is the quickest speed available for a laptop HDD, where as desktops can go higher.
So, I think it'll be 100GB 5600 HDD, and use the 40GB as an external/transporter.
Regarding the files, I wasn't bothered about them reading the file names, just accessing them. But, the confidential ones start : confidential lol.
It isn't a technician doing the work, it's the local computer shop doing it, so although I doubt he'd be interested, ya never know.
Plus, I doubt he could be arsed trekking though my files.
Can I request to be present, to make sure nothing is accessed?
How do I encrypt files to a sufficient standard that access cannot be granted to a the guy doing it? Do I need a program or anything?
I suppose I could just burn them to a CD in the meanwhile...
When he clones the drive, is it just like starting a program and waiting for it to finish, or does he have to manually select every file?
I'm just worried about the files he will get to see. They are nothing special, just confidential financial figures, tech specs of various prototype engines and the like. But it's in my contract not to show anyone...
Btw, I'm a marine engineer if anyone is interested...
