I was building a laptop today on HP's website and I noticed an interesting feature under one of the hard drives. You'll have to take a look, screen attached.

thats interesting does it come loaded with some special software or?

I'm not sure what that's about, but it pisses me off. My Compaq Laptop must have something like that. Whenever I try to access shared files on it, it asks me for a username and password. The thing is that no username/password combination works. I tried running it as a server, and it was an utter failure.

cool, a harddisk that's secured for networking... how do they do those things!

The PC probably has no modem or NIC! I'm on to you HP!!!!

Haha, how great would that be.

I think the hard disk has a chip on it to encrypt your files.

i love there selling point for the next 100GB hard drive

"Store GOBS of music, files and photos"

They've definitely done an awful job on this one....maybe they think they're going to make gobs a new technical term?
