This means that the primary power cable of the unit is using a Direct Current. If you want to plug it to an outlet, you take the same DC cable and use it with the AC converter.<\/p>\n<p>When opening the unit, I noticed it came with a 30GB Fujitsu 4200rpm hard drive. This was <em>waaaay<\/em> more than what I really need, but hey I&#8217;m not complaining. 4200rpm is pretty slow for a HDD, but then it&#8217;s a portable device, so better to have less heat when you could (who am I kidding, I just want to justify having a measley <em>4200rpm<\/em> HDD hehehe). At least 30GB makes up for it (4,500 RAW shots right there).<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, the laptop HDD is simply &#8220;slid&#8221; into the HDD pins of the G2, with no bracket to hold it in place whatsoever. To make things worse; it&#8217;s connected upwards, so the forces of gravity may disconnect an already loose HDD connection (if the unit is standing up).<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately in my case, the friction is pretty tight on the HDD and probably won&#8217;t disconnect unless you drop the thing (which will probably destroy the HDD anyways). Having said that, this design flaw is forgivable in my opinion; just take care of the thing. Other than  running after [or being chased by] wild beasts in their photography, I&#8217;m sure anybody can excercise a decent amount of care for their ImageTank.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;ImageTank G2&#8221; &#8220;View post&#8221; Actually, this probably belongs to the Technology category&#8230; but who cares?
