...to use backup solution, but it also features HPs unique "One Button Disaster Recovery" or OBDR. As the name suggests, if you loose you system (disk crash etc) you can recover the whole thing from tape by pressing just one button. How does it work? You simply load the back up tape in to the drive, power off the system, press the eject button on the tape drive and power everything up, this put's the tape drive into it's OBDR mode and the system sees it as a bootable device and boots from the tape, this then triggers the full system recovery... and guess what? It works! much quicker and easier than rebuilding from scratch.

#36GB Native 72GB Compressed
#Transfer rate of 23GB/hour

Advantages: Small, lightweight, efficient, reliable. does what it says Disadvantages: Tape, small capacity, price, slow, storage/usage issues
...The Sony DGD120P is the second incarnation of the DDS tape format used for computer backup in the 1990s. Back in the days when company data took up a few gigabytes of disk space, the DDS2 cartridge provided a relatively cheap and efficient way to backup and restore data easily.
~~~ Appearance ~~~
Looking not unlike a modern Mini-DV casette, the DGD120P measures 72mm x 52mm x 10mm in black plastic with a small window showing the tape spooled inside. Unlike a video casette, the tape contained within cannot be easily accessed by prying fingers and the wheels used for spooling the tape are inaccessible until the cartridge is inserted into a drive. On the spine of the cartridge is a small white switch allowing the user to write-protect the tape and preserve a copy of the data contained thereupon.
Each cartridge is also supplied...

Advantages: Cheap, good performance, easy to install Disadvantages: Power button too touchy
...Bought this computer for the gf. It (along with Vista) was very easy to get up and running. Only issues have been with the operating system and the power button. The OS has run VERY well out of the box (so kudos to MS on that), but it is definetely NOT XP. The power button is easily hit if which is rather annoying.
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (2.2 GHz)
RAM installed : 1 GB DDR II SDRAM
Hard drive: 320 GB Standard
Dimensions (W x D x H) : 7.2 in x 17.9 in x 14.6 in
As it comes with vista now it is a very good buy and worth its money....
