When you disable SSC, does it diminish the performance/speed of the drive in any way? I've had the same problem with my new PM G6 Quad recognizing a Seagate 500gb SATA internal dr…

Some of you might have seen my post at Macrumors, but I thought this might be interesting in it's own right. I have an 18 months old iBook (1GHz, 768MB RAM, Tiger 10.4.3). My usage…

Shutting off at 50% is a usually a good indication that you need to calibrate your battery. (Here are the directions for calibrating an iBook battery.) However your usage pattern m…
