    Hot SSD deal

    My current, ancient ultraportable fits two hard drives with my custom modfication, but most don't. Of course SSD capacity is not a significant problem in a desktop system, where one can place an SSD on the PS or hanging around.

    Hot SSD deal

    When will we see 1TB SSDs? I'd get one if it were less than a buck per gig.

    WTF is the value of the Windows Experience? I can't fund that option, but I don't have Vista.

    Samsung Drive

    I was thinking that the SM#RT would be enough. I assume you are talking about some kinds of RAiD.

    Samsung Drive

    368 reallocated sectors and corrupted files on the 203. :( After all of the carnage was done, I found three other questionable 2TB drives according to the SMRAT data. How do I monitor that continuously for the future?

    There is often an Androidinous problem. :rolleyes:

    SoHo Gigabit Router?

    No, I mean the 12V or whatever the supply is for the router. I want at least 24 hour run time. My large UPS with external battery pack would be wasted on that.

    I'm not convinced that acting macho is indicative of that. By the same token, some rather effeminate men are completely straight.

    SoHo Gigabit Router?

    Does anyone have experience powering the modem and router on batteries? Does the voltage in need to be well regukted, e.g., ±5%? Wang to be able to withstand 24hours power blackouts and the UPSTATE is inefficient at such low loads.

    Hot SSD deal

    Well it is no bargain if you need to but two, one to use and one as a backup. Of course other SSDs have some defects as well, but OCZ is particularly notorious. :)

    Do you trust 500GB TO OCZ?

    The newer disc release the better. Content doesn't matter I much, but you may want to check out the 3D.

    2TB drives under the duopoly

    Of course Merc is just trying to abuse them. The consumer drives are meant to be used as singles.

    Hitachi 5k3000 3TB 5400RPM Drive

    I did not see them for less than $120. Surrey the 3TB model was not $95 normally .

    Windows 8

    Sure, if Windows 8 is so awful. As much as I dislike 7, for now I should buy about eight copies before it is discontinued. Assuming there are drivers for a few more years, I could build the final few computers in 2015.

    It seems like last weekend the power was out all over. The facility near Cincinnati lost power during production and all was lost. :crap: I know some people in Virginia who had no power for three days and there were power outages in PA as well. I have to go there next week. :(

    The obligatory Blackberry thread

    IIRC it was T or U that moved the focus to the most recent message. Of course it's been a while since they confiscated the blackberries.

    Only if you are intent on being irresponsible. There are plenty of healthy, fun and interesting activites that have low risk factors. Amateurs and incendiaries don't mix well.

    No, it's not about the air. Fireworks were banned in the large southland cities like LA around 50 years ago. They cause fires (not good in the dry summer months), personal injury, and death in some cases.

    2TB drives under the duopoly

    Damn. I would be very happy with those drives. I have several of the 2TB EADS and they have been fine, especially compressed to the unreliable Samsung 2BG green drives. Today 500GB platters are relatively small so the speeds are on the slow side.

    But you could still use windows. I guess the question is whether the Androgen can run on muticore, multiprocessor x86 systems.

    My computers are screwed up, usually hardenware, drivers or something not compatible. My mainboard should be exterminated.

    What's the best 32" 1080p LED TV?

    I find it hard to believe that a new TV does not have the HCPD. even the <$100 TV in my toilet has it. I've never heard of vizio, but they probably use commodity parts that have the necessary functionality.

    Many people are on PTO this week, but the rest of the world isn't slowing down and timelines always need to be met. Most of the usual teleconferences have been shifted to Tues or Thurs.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    The specs vary, but SSDs designed as rerpacemets for 5V mobile drives should be not be much more than the 2.5W typical for such drives.

    Samsung Drive

    I put a 204 in one computer and it shut down, rebooted, but I thought that might have been part of the GParted.. Then in the bay on the other computer smoke is coming out and something smells burned. Now I have to open up both machines. Computers suck. :(
