    Wiping data from HDD securely???

    I remember one day at "Ye Olde Computer Workshop" when I ended up low level formatting some hard drive, at the behest of the owner, just before I ghosted an image onto it. Obviously a single low level zero write format isn't anything to write home about really, but what happened next is. After I...

    Corsair SSD in Real World Applications

    Yes, who cares if those aren't representative of programs you would have loading? Also it's obviously not a video aimed at the likes of you or me who clean their boots/installations/running_programs/etc with a fine tooth comb. It still show a major advantage over getting to a Ready-To_use status...

    1 Intel X25-M 80GB SSD or 2 x Intel X25-V 40GB SSD in raid?

    I happen to own the Intel SSD X25-M G2. It's Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) is somewhere around the neighborhood of...hmm...lets see here...1.2 million hours, aka 136.98630137 years! Also, I have had several mechanical Hard Disk failures, and when they fail, I mean really FAIL, there isn't...

    Corsair SSD in Real World Applications

    Bottom line is: SSD are the future, no question about it. We are really no longer in "Early Adoption Phase' anymore really, more like mid-early phase. Sure, you can wait for the tech to get better and cheaper, but that goes without saying for pretty much any piece of computer hardware, it's the...

    Corsair SSD in Real World Applications

    Are you kidding? Have you even read AnandTech in the last year? Anand has repeatedly shown reasons to justify the cost of switching to a SSD. In fact, Anand IS the reason I bought my SSD. Reading this thread reminds me of how some people are slow to adopt new technology, and how they claim...

    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB DDR3 - Physx?

    Yeah, I had a 8800 Ultra running it, but I sold it off to a friend. What is the cheapest alternative for an extra Physx card without it being a crappy alternative, any ideas and/or links?

    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB DDR3 - Physx?

    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB DDR3, will I be able to use this card as a Physx card, or is it just a bit too slow to cut the mustard?

    Gamer Itching to Upgrade - But What?

    Hmmm, I usually go for the WD Greens for storage. I can't think of a reason I would need super fast storage, even when I stream to my PS3 it only needs several MB of throughput at a time.For my storage of large amounts of files I use something that will be the most efficient as possible and last...
