    What's an ideal SSD for Handbrake conversions on an hourly basis??

    So far, I got a PNY CS1311 240GB and it's great, but there's got to be better alternatives and I plan to upgrade later. So what MLC/TLC SSD can I truly go for that won't degrade quickly due to well, constant encoding?

    Anyone tried out Nvidia's Fast Sync on 1080p/60hz (or 144hz) monitors??

    As much as 1440p displays are awesome, I do not have the budget to upgrade to that component for now. So, has anyone in [H] tested this option with any of the GTX 1070/1080 GPUs??

    Toshiba X300 5TB 3.5" Mechanical HDD thoughts??

    I'm planning to get this HDD later next month for simple archiving of videos. So far, Newegg, Amazon and B&H like it but the noise is bad. I do have history with Toshiba. My PS3 has a 1TB laptop hard drive installed and it's still good. Any thoughts about this one, or should I go for WD or...
