    Did EA Lie About Battlefield 4?

    all i can say is that i agree with your statement. Dice can't code, and the worst part is that EA is rushing them. Frostbite 3 engine is "nice" and all but BF4 is "meh" factor after all the bugs, I'm glad i didn't bought it just like preordered BF3. i own every BF game since 1942 but the...

    iomega 1TB usb 2.0 enclosure with 2.5" samsung 100UI series drive (5400RPM) after a year is still going strong, so as the Samsung G3 USB 2.0 external, both drives are used very much in work, at home. Not a single bad sector yet.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP Review @ [H]

    The first and most important thing that potential buyers should ask is how are the failure rates for the TOP version of this vga. My GTX670 TOP died after one week of mild usage, nad now it's almost aboslete in e-tail or retail. So a nice bs that the "yelds" are low, i blame ASUS poor quality...

    ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP Video Card Review [H]

    I am very much disappointed by the product quality of ASUS these times. Three days ago i send to RMA for the second time my ASUS P67 rev 3.2 (first time died with my 2500K cpu without o/c ;/ ) this time around the LAN port died. But to the point, after measly two weeks after i bought my...

    corsair force gt 120 low write speed

    Seems, about 150MB/Sec slow in write, should like 550MB/Sec Read and 515MB/Sec (real life lower but not that low) Check your mainboard manual if you plugged the drive into native intel Sata 3 Z68 had 1 or 2 of them tops. If there are any other Sata 3 ports they could be from a Marvell chip...

    if you got scammed then tough luck, go and torch the place that sells it ;F (joke). There are indeed some kind of fake drives made in china but i dont think that is the case, check the gray port and run some tests, also if drive is 256GB and you have 100GB of data on it, it could be the case...

    Is your controller in IDE or AHCI mode ? if IDE change to AHCI, changing to Marvell controller is not a good idea, they are generally slower than intel native Sata 3 ports. Consult your motherboard installation quide and check for correct native Sata 3 intel port. These results look a lot like a...

    weird seagate RMA - 3rd bad replacement drive???

    Refurbished drives are not worth the trouble, some time ago had two refurbs from seagate, they all had unbearable whine from the drive motor, and the retailer that sent them told the clients that they are "new" ;]

    weird seagate RMA - 3rd bad replacement drive???

    Every drive gets basic tests, but its the same as any other manufacturer, no time for thorough tests in the assembly line ;] Everyone would assume that every drive is 100% tested, it is so but only 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 100 is put thru torture test :] Tried my best to put it to words ;]...

    weird seagate RMA - 3rd bad replacement drive???

    Seagate as any other company that has a mass production of any kind only tests 1 out of 10 units in a assembly line, so it is very possible to get a malfunctioning drive. Curiously i never did a full format on my drives and got any problems, maybe it's because i'm using Samsung ;]
