Whenever you have an external hard-drive, it's like bringing the whole computer hard drive with you anywhere you want. Therefore, it would really be a good move to set requirements before you buy your very own external hard drive.</p> <p>It is a requirement that you have a thorough knowledge before you even purchase your very own external drive. A thorough knowledge would mean that you need to search online and ask from your friends the best brands and you should know the personal experiences of the users on the different brands of external drives available in your area.</p> <p>o Go Branded </p> <p>I would suggest that you go from the branded ones. This is not because I work for a certain company but I believe that these companies have already gained trust from their customer that's why they still exist in the market. Another benefit of having branded external drives is the after sales customer support. Whenever we buy non-branded stuffs and we encounter problems after bringing them to our house, we usually have the problem of contacting the manufacturer. The big companies selling their brand of hard drives would surely be more than willing to help their customers whenever they encounter problems with the product.</p> <p>o Connection </p> <p>Most computers have USB ports of either 1.1 or 2.0 connectivity while some could use Firewire. These are the methods of how the external drives can be connected to the computers in transferring data. You also have to know if your USB port is 1.0 or it already supports 2.0 USB port. Most, if not all, external drives already function with 2.0 ports, therefore, it would be more helpful if you also have a 2.0 post so that data transfer would be speedier.</p> <p>o Storage </p> <p>External hard drives are available in different storage size that goes up to hundreds. In choosing which one to buy, you have to first determine how you intend to use it. If you would need to bring in with you large files, you may opt for the 500 or more gigabytes but if not, you may just go for the 80 or 120 gigabytes.</p> <p>o Compatibility </p> <p>The compatibility would not just be on the USB port but also on the operating system that you use. The three most common operating systems include Windows, Mac and Linux. Most external drives are actually compatible with these operating systems but it would still be advisable to the check compatibility of the external drive that you wanted to buy with the operating system that you have.</p> <p>o Design </p> <p>There are different designs of external drives. You can go for the stylish formal ones or the multi-colored ones. The option actually remains on the end user and his intended use. The size of the drive should also be a consideration. It would be better to have smaller drives when you are always on the go since they would surely weigh lighter but the decision would still depend on you. However, you should ensure that the drive has shock protection so that your data would at least be more secured. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/tennessee_code_title_32_chapter_11_comment/page/50#post-1653 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:56:20 +0000 Linda R Mulford 1653@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>[The following comment was added on the <a href="http://www.lawserver.com/law/state/tennessee/tn-code/tennessee_code_title_32_chapter_11">page located here</a>.

A power of attorney for health care decisions is a document that appoints someone else to make health care decision for you if you are incapacitated. A living will, on the other hand, expresses your personal wishes as to what type of care you wish to receive. To make matters a bit confusing, sometimes a power of attorney will be included within a living will. Take a look at <a href="http://www.lawserver.com/law/articles/living-wills">this article</a> on living wills if you haven't already. I hope this helps. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/living-wills-v-poas-for-health-care-decisions#post-133 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:33:25 +0000 Anonymous 133@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>What's the difference between a living will and a power of attorney for health care decisions? </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/religious-issues-in-living-wills#post-123 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:44:54 +0000 steve 123@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>It is certainly appropriate in a living will to address the actions you want or do not want to be taken on your behalf based on your personal religious beliefs. Your local church office may even be able to offer you specific guidance. Here, for example, is a good <a href="http://www.diopitt.org/difficultdecisions.pdf">brochure on the subject</a> offered by the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/religious-issues-in-living-wills#post-122 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:15:45 +0000 Anonymous 122@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>Is it permissible to include provisions in a living will that address specific religious issues regarding death and dying? (eg: Catholic right to life and natural death) </p>
