Honestly they need to focus on content.. I have activated Amazon Prime Video on my PS3 because it is starting to have more of the content that I want to watch.. It did not use to be that way, Netflix had what I wanted to watch, they are slipping in the content game.. And that is too bad, I...
I use my HD+ all the time, literally every day for web browsing, Netflix and youtube, and sometimes email. I have not rooted it or anything, since it has the Play Store built in now you can run just about any Android app you like on it without rooting. (not 100% as there are device restrictions...
There are so many consumer 3d printers these days. Makerbot's only claim to fame is thingiverse.
Otherwise, soliddoodle, replicator, Robo 3D, Aluminatus, UP, RepRap, Cube 3D, and probably a hundred others are still out there.
Depends on what you mean by complete garbage.. you can side load pretty much any android app that you can get the APK file for, without rooting:

I just got a Nook HD+ for $169, new from B&N.. (Goodyear store)
It seems they are doing a test market pricing in AZ right now (from what a little bird told me)
Searching the web finds that some other states might have it better...
I am using Carbonite due to their firesale pricing they had after the big data loss of a couple years ago.. I do keep important data in a few places, for the cost I couldn't pass it up. (it was 3 years for $60 unlimited data, that won't happen again) When the time comes to renew, I will have...
Interesting, as I had a HP Procurve freak out on the amount of traffic I was sending across it (24port managed gigabit, forget the exact model expensive though) I tried everything to get it to work, brand new out of the box, nothing worked.. I swapped in a $300 (at the time) GS724 and it is...
Umm say what?? Compellent has done dynamic tiering for years and no you don't set it's triggers. (they were the first to do this by far, I recall my former roommate setting it up at his work over 5 years ago)
The integrated cloud stuff NetApp has is cool though.
Compellent does automated tiering too and solid-state can be one of the tiers as well.
But I haven't worked with any of that type of rigs directly. I do have friends who do and they much prefer Compellent over the older EMC stuff.
Non 4k aligned access is huge! How did you create the partition? and what OS? (not that it pertains to the issue at hand) Because you could have a definite speed issue if your partition isn't 4k aligned.
My work purchased a lot of WD 2TB green drives for use in various NAS devices. (on the order of 30 or so) And pretty much all of them are dying one by one. (not just TLER dropping out, but dying) In our experience they suck and we have a new policy of no WD drives in RAID systems. Hitachi /...
Considering the drivers for the SATA2 ports should already be installed, you should be ok swapping over to one of those ports. If your boot crashes, just move it back and boot again off the marvell. I have not done exactly this, but if you have the Intel SATA drivers installed you should be...
Too new for any reviews:

I have one of the earlier Performance 3 drives and really like it.
Uses the Evil Marvell controller that is slower than poop:

You are better on SATA1 (150mb/s) much less SATA 2 (300) or SATA 3 (600)
It may technically be "SATA 3" but it's such a crappy implementation.. just don't do it.
I have used Hyper-V quite a bit at work, but not for a HTPC/desktop. But I highly recommend installing NOTHING at all on the host OS. (just Server-core is best, no gui) AV is the only thing other than Hyper-V that it should have on it.
Run anything else as another virtual client. Two (or...
