Life Around Me http://blog.iamshaazz.com Its about me, my life and my thoughts...!

After one week of its use i am writing this review.

Style and Design

Checking out its style, it got a pretty neat and stylish purple look. It is built with a triple-layer protection to ensure that the data is safe even if the drive is accidentally dropped. This 2.5- inch length external hard disk incorporated with a brilliant purple anti-slip rubber enclosure, it includes a reinforced hard casing that evenly distributes the force of an impact, and an internal hard drive suspension damper. The drive is powered by USB and there is no need of external power. It is also equipped with an extremely convenient OneTouch auto-backup button, which lets you instantly backup and synchronize data with your computer.

Features

  • Super speed USB 3.0. (yes, it is backward compatible with USB 2.0)
  • Bandwidth up to 5 Gbits/s. (in USB 3.0)
  • Shockproof/ anti-slip design.
  • Meets U.S military drop test standards.
  • Plug and play(No driver needed).
  • 256-bit AES file and folder encryption.
  • Power saving sleep mode.

Usage

As i started using this, it  is likely similar to the previous Transcend hard drive i had. The first thing is to register the product via online for the 3 year warranty. As for now i had only USB 2.0 in my laptop, the transfer speed while transferring a file is 24MB/s using Tera copy, which is good! It also comes with a Elite software(Windows) which lets you to manage synchronization. The MRP of this external hard drive is 9K, but i got it online for 4K( that is very cheap for an awesome drive like this) So as to conclude, this is one stylish, secure and portable hard drive with a good reasonable price. For anyone who is looking for a high capacity portable hard drive, i would totally recommend this. :)

Thanks to Midhun. After spending a lot of time trying out its features, I thought to write about it and most of all Google+ is the currently trending topic.

This will be like a small review.

1) The first thing i like is its design! elegant smart interface!. Its pretty neat and easy to use.

2) Introducing circles, which we will have more control over what we are sharing also lets you organize like friends, family.

3) The best feature i like: “Hangout” (To me, The most awesome feature!) Its more like a conference room where a group people can video chat. Who ever says loud will come to the bigger screen, so that every body listens it.

4) “Sparks” is just another feature that is based on your interests. It pulls out the links of the recent contents from the web based on the interest.

5) +1 button is there, but not showing in the profile!

6) Just like Google’s dropbox, Photos are uploaded so fast and it has the slide feature.

7) Yes, this is what some people like, you can update and your status and receive notifications by mobile.

8) Google profile, buzz and there are lots of other features. Also the whole system is has bugs, well is just launched and it is expected to have bugs.

So comparing to Facebook, I’ll give Google+ :8/10 rating.

Google+ will survive! Lets wait and see how it goes! :)

But it was all wrong. First of all this project has to be done in december, but it was delayed due to the some personal problems of our project guide. Now its been a week since we came here and it delaying again and again also all others who came with us are leaving tomorrow. But me and my team is still stuck here. We tried our best to finish it asap but our project guide is too lazy.. :@ . Now only hoping that it will be completed at least this week.
P.S : My mind is with my butterfly.. Missing.. :-(

You might be wondering what does that even mean. Well since last week there is a construction work going on at my home and all the things are messed up here and there. Totally messed up. Also i have been working on my college CD brochure with Praveesh and Varun. Starting from the morning i go to college, work from there and returns by evening and up to the night one thing is always with me which is my bag. A bag which contains a laptop, a camera and some other cool gadgets :) . In short, i just need only these things to live now. i didn’t care about having food or even sleep(i know its bad for me). If i got a internet connection and my laptop, time will pass for me so easily. Living with this bag or life with this bag is easy for me and i am loving these days. :)
