Focus on Code

Two month ago i bought out a Western Digital My Book World Edition II to save my downloads and keep my archives in a single media to quick access. My version of My Book is created for LAN usage. It has no USB connection directly to PC ( It has a USB port but it’s for data storage ). So you have to transfer files from LAN using your ethernet cable.

The problem starts here.

I’m using a 100Mbit LAN at my home. My switch is a 100Mbit switch. My other two PC’s can 1Gbit but because of my switch i use them in 100Mbit mode. And my laptop… It has 100Mbit connection also.

You can say that why you do not prefer to upgrade your switch and buy out a PCMCIA port for your laptop. I can’t. But this impossibility is not dedicated to my fault. It’s because in my country to follow technology beyond most people can not be! I searched all markets, shops, internet shops but i have no chance on finding a PCMCIA cart for my laptop and a 1Gbit switch.

So what are you doing you say.

I’m trying to reach nirvana while i’m sending 45GB of fresh downloaded DVD’s, Archives, Education Videos (It’s a huge set consisting of so many legal ( and some illegal ) things ) to my storage drive. I hope this patience will be raise my rank on the God’s eyes.

Patience must be first virtue in computer related world i think. If not i’ll be confused of my time which i spent on waiting data transfers using 100Mbit connection!
