    Good point about Intel's Matrix RAID. Although none of the traditional HDs that have died on me have given me warnings either*. Thanks guys for your input, I will give an update once a decision is made *My first HD was a WD Caviar for my computer...DOA. I bought a WD external to...

    Ok, the computer I built for my family's HD just died a week ago. With the cost of SSDs dropping fast that you can say "Moore's law," I'm (un)officially DONE with traditional HDs. I'm RMA'ing the old HD and will use the replacement for backup. With that in mind, do I: RAID 2 of these...

    EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked

    Thanks for the article Rob....this will probably replace my 7900GS (that needs new coolant for the tidewater but I don't want to mess with coolant and watercooling in general)

    Obama administration supports RIAA's ludicrous fines

    It also helped that his campaign was able to get voters TO vote, not just staying home/acting like a talk radio blowhard and regurgitate campaign propaganda like the McCain campaign (and most DNC/GOP campaigns)

    5 month Core SSD v1 review

    I probably will test every 3-6 months at least. The loss of performance seems normal as Anand pointed out, traditional computers seem to slow down as well. I'll probably test my non-ssd computer as well, seeing I'm planning on doing a format as soon as I replace the coolant on my tidewater VGA...

    5 month Core SSD v1 review

    With all the talk this past year about SSDs, no one outside of PC Perspective has taken a serious look of the long term usage, so I thought I'd might write about my experiences. I won't write the story why I got the Core v1 64GB since the story can be read here. Basically after I got it, I was...

    OCZ's 1TB SSD

    I have this feeling this beast is for servers...that thing is gigantic...*drool* Interesting that at $1.46/GB, that's not bad considering my cheapy 64GB is $1.56 per GB (including all the discounts)

    SSDs Suffer Performance Degradation Over Time

    I've had my SSD working since November, no significant degradation with about 40GB of 60 used. Albeit this is not the gaming computer, so only startup time and Explorer response time is only what matters. Still boots, reads faster than my main computer with a 7200RPM HD...

    Happy 1234567890!

    Hmm..is that why I've seen some files on a computer that were created on Jan 1st 1970 (when the computer is under a decade old?)

    Is Microsoft Rushing Windows 7?

    It didn't help that no one had a powerful enough computer/had enough RAM until 2003ish too... SP2, boy, I recall people moaning and groaning like they would when Vista came out..

    World's most valuable sports teams?

    It is Texas...you guys have a few HS stadiums that are bigger than Wisconsin's D3 colleges (including Whitewater who's been to the nat'l championship like every year the past few years...) :D
