I have 2 of the 1285's and have had good luck with them. I also have an APC that I have replaced the batteries on and use it on a spare system. I prefer the Cyberpower over the APC. If I were in the market for an UPS I would go with the 1350 you linked to.

I have bought a lot of items from Warehouse Deals and have had mostly good results. I have bought tools, kitchen vent hoods, bathroom fixtures, toasters etc. The prices were too good not to take a chance. I have noticed that the bargins are not as good as they used to be but still can save a...

Fortunately or unfortunately (however you look at it) :D my result have been different. I have had 5 memory related failures in the past few years and they all showed up in the first test pass. And it has always been test 5 that they failed. I have had a couple sticks that would not even boot...

I usually find my memory problems in the first pass. However I am usually having problems with the system when I run the test.

I removed the update and Windows wanted to reinstall the update also. I went to windows update and reran check for updates and it disappeared. What is weird is that one system removed the update without it showing backup.

I have one but I like to have these around when I just need a quick spray on a small job. Damn sniffers have drove the price up, Gotta be 18 around here to buy these.

The only thing wrong with these is they are only 7 oz. but it is still a good deal.

15% off + $20 rebate on most. Ordered the AX760 today. $133 AR.

Received my H80i today. Only downside is that it did come with the old 3 pin fans and old firmware. Corsair will replace but you have to submit an RMA for the fans. And the FW is upgradeable with the Corsair Link 2 software.

I own one of the OCZ Vertex 3 drives and the new Firmware does appear to fix the drive. That being said, last week before the new firmware was released I pulled it out of my system (4 to 5 BSOD daily) and replaced it with a spare drive. I then order a new Crucial M4 to replace it. The FW came...

Depends if you want speed or reliability. The SF are fast but reliability is questionable, especially the OCZ Vertex 3 (Go to their forum and read before you buy). I have a OCZ Vertex 3 128 GB Max IO that had been working without a problem for months until about a month ago. Starting getting...

Best bang for the $.

I wish they would put their SSD's in boxes. The last 2 I have received have been in the so called padded envelopes from UPS with nothing to protect the SSD. They did work however.

My results with the new drive are mixed. My first V3 Max IOPS lasted 2 days before it bricked. The replacement has been trouble free for over 6 weeks. There have been a lot of problems with the V3, but that appears to be fairly normal for the release of a new version of a SSD with OCZ. You...

I recently upgraded from a Vertex LE (SATA 2) to a Vertex 3 Max IOPS (SATA 3) and in normal operation I can't tell that much difference. Virus scans and backups are quicker but boot up time did not improve. I was expecting more gain but it is not there. The benchmarks do show an improvement...

It is more then firmware. I had a OCZ Vertex 3 Max that bricked within 2 days on FW 2.02. I flashed the replacement drive to 2.06 the day the firmware came out and have been using it for over a month without any problems so far. My fingers are crossed. Appears to me as if Corsair is being...

I have one of the Super Crypts and they are as fast as advertised with the Super Talent drivers. They are picky about cables if you use an extension cable as I do some times, you need a good quality cable. I use it to transfer large files between computers. It is faster then doing it by my...

Sata Revision 3.0 http://www.sata-io.org/technology/6Gbdetails.asp

The new generation of SSDs require SATA-III (6GB) to obtain their rated performance. HDDs do not benefit.

I have several USB 3.0 flash drives and the Patriot Supersonic is by far the best I have. I also have an ADATA S102 and the Super Talent Express Duo. They really don't compare to the Patriot. The Patriot will easily get the rated speeds. The ADATA is the next fastest, and the Super Talent...

Download the latest OCZ toolbox 2.36 and do a Secure Erase.

I recently upgraded from a Vertex LE to a Vertex 3 Max IOPS and other then higher benchmarks I can't tell any difference in boot time, apps loading or anything else. If I had to do it over I think I would go with the Intel 510 due to compatibility issues with the Vertex 3 and the supposedly...

Before you get the Vertex 3 I would go to the OCZ forum and do some reading. There have been some early compatibility problems, especially with certain laptops. I currently have a 120GB Vertex 3 Max that I just installed. This is the 2nd Vertex 3 Max. I had to return the first one due to it...

I would not even start to do any of the things discussed here without a complete backup on a separate external drive. I have successfully done several of the recommendations without a problem but there is always the chance of making all partitions on the drive unreadable.

Go to the OCZ support forum and you will see that there are some compatibility issues with the Vertex 3 series. Especially with certain Intel Chip sets (Intel 6 series) that are requiring some Bios and registry editing. These have to do with Hot Swap settings and LPM incompatibility.

Have to disagree with you on this, at least in my case. The Vertex 3 Max IOPS I purchased lasted 2 days before it became a brick. The drive was not ''RIGHT" from the beginning. I had a system that had been running a Vertex LE for over a year without a problem. I tried to replace the LE with...

Shows 1 - 2 month before shipping. Did you order one when they were in stock?

I don't think you really need it, but from my brief research it may provide some benefit. I already had Diskeeper and it was only $10 for Hyperfast so I bought it and have had it installed for about 6 weeks. Can't say if it has helped or not, but does not appear to have caused any problems...

255 watts is not enough except for the very basic and I do mean basic system. My computers will not even run on a 255 watt system. A minimum of 800 watts is needed for proper UPS backup for almost any computer system. You can get a good UPS in the 1000 to 1500 range for less then $200...

I would like to see tests on production models with the actual production chips and firmware instead of prototypes with non production chips and no telling what type firmware before the Vertex 3 is declared the best of the best! They may turn out to be as great as advertised but with OCZ's...

This plus the free Rush Processing for same day shipping if ordered before 12:00 p.m. pacific (2:00 p.m. my time).

You need to read more about this and see if you still think they are decent. Yes they are addressing the problem but they only started the free return when they got caught shipping different low performing products with the same model # and no way to tell what you were getting until installed...

Just had an RMA to newegg. Had to pay shipping, used first class mail and returned in the same flimsy envelope they used for eggsaver. Cost was less the $2. Not worth the hassle to try and get free shipping. They did pay for shipping on the replacement. Paying shipping to return defective...

I agree that the 256GB is too expensive for most users, I know it is more then I care to spend. And I want to see actual tests on a production model of the OCZ Vertex 3, not some pre-production model that may not be using the actual chips and firmware that will be in the final shipping product.

2011 is the first version that works correctly without tricks to move an unaligned image to an aligned SSD and not screw up the alignment. I have most of the previous versions as well as 2011 and I could not get the previous versions to work (align correctly) when moving an image from a non...

You are corect. Amazon is closing its distribution center in the Dallas area because of a dispute with the State over sales tax collection!

Here is the diskpar output for the last drive I did. The previous HDD that I transferred the image from had a starting offset of 32256. The follow is after the transfer using TI 2011 using default settings for offset. I did partition and format the SSD before I did the transfer. c:\>diskpar...

I have been using Acronis True Image 2011 (Build 6696, 2-2-2011) with plus pack to transfer images from unaligned disks to SSD successfully. You have to partition (format?) the SSD before you do it or it will not be aligned. The format may not be necessary but it is so quick that I do it...

I have had the Sunbeam Tech Airbox in USB 3.0 for about 8 months http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817709028 and really like it. And it is on sale with rebate for $29.99 + $3.99 shipping. It has a cooling fan which really helps to cool the HDD. I would recommend you get...

Mushkin make drives similar to the Vertex and seem to have a good ratings. I know their memory is excellent. It is about all I use. OWC is another drive that has good ratings. I currently have a OCZ Vertex LE and a Intel G2, and in real life daily use I can't tell the difference, so Intel...
