I've got about 8 WD 320 drives (non RE) in a raid5 server and added 2 of the seagates in when they had them for 65$ at fry's. I had one of each for comparison in my desktop machine and I got about 10-15MB/s faster read speeds with the seagates. Can't comment on reliability though, I haven't...
I got one of these (actually a 650) for christmas... it's pretty much awesome.
My only complaint is it doesn't have the capability to save your track... where you've been... to make new maps (for offroad/trails/hiking/etc). It looks like the 750 adds this option though...
Mine did not...
I bet someone could make money if they got about 3 orders of these, and replace the letters of the keyboard to be all the same. So you could sell off a keyboard with all X's instead of the other letters of the alphabet. I'm sure people would buy gimimcky things like that on ebay. :lol:
I didn't threaten to cancel, I just cancelled it. Within 2 or 3 hours, I got an email saying "sorry, we can't cancel! we just shipped it out!"
I got a unit with no packing paper/anything and the manuf. warrantee was dead (sticker broken) so I'm in the process of getting an RMA.
Really...
I went ahead and accepted the shipment for mine. I shouldn't have. Mine was in a box about 20-30% larger than the original box with no packing at all inside of it. I'm very cautious about this unit as I noticed it looks like someone took a knife to the screw hole that's covered with the...
Not only that, at the same time I got a response from my email of "when are you guys getting more power supplies in?"
The response?
Lol, nothing about them getting more units in, they didn't respond until I cancelled my order and even then didn't answer my question. This is just shiesty...
Oh this is horseshit. I cancelled my order yesterday and low and behold:
I'm refusing shipment on this crapt. Never again am I doing business with buy.com.
So for anyone else on hold waiting for their PS, cancel your order. It'll come right through
Here's what "on order" means
"We are making every effort to ship your product to you as soon as possible. Unless your item is on pre-order, our supplier has not given us an expected arrival date. "
They don't even know when they are getting any. I went ahead and cancelled my order and put...
Mine came as fedex freight, but no one would be home for the delivery, so I went out to their hub to pick it up. It came with metal straps holding it to a big ass wooden crate. The guy brought it out with a fork truck and I was like.... uh, crap. Got some metal strap cutters? :lol: Might...
Picked mine up from the shipping hub yesterday...
Dang, I'm liking it so far. My old computer is in the process of dying, so anything much past 1024x768 makes it lock up, so I haven't seen it at full resolution yet. New system is in the mail though, should be put together...
Yea, electronics express through amazon.
I was hoping I could just pick one up from EE in person, but their website had it for 1500-ish (plus tax I'm sure.)
I grabbed it for just over 1100 shipped.
lol, I paid ~90$ in shipping to have it delivered from nashville to knoxville and today it's on its way to chattanooga. No one will be home at the time of delivery (which is required for my shipping) so it looks like I get to take a trip to chattanooga.
FYI, I live pretty close to the...
Free shipping, but tax is still present (~10$ for TN). Came out to just under 100$ for me.
The only part that bothers me is the return policy:
Basic Return Policy Unless otherwise stated, you have 14 days from the date your product left the warehouse (regardless of when you actually took...
I hate each and every one of you for making me buy this thing.
Ok, well to be more exact, my wallet hates each and every one of you. I couldn't be happier.
FWIW, I got notified of my first statement at the end of the month, and I opened the account halfway through the month, a bit before turkey day. I made the initial deposit and then a few days later another deposit. It looks like they calculate an average balance for the month (which I'm not...
A quick question for you eloan savings guys - I read through the fine print and it's a bit vague about the interest payout. I'm assuming it gets paid out quarterly with the e-statements? Does anyone know if this is quarterly based on the first of the year, or it is quarterly based on when you...
I'll second the vote for no reiserfs on something possibly in the TB range. I didn't properly research that, and my ~900 gig raid 5 array took a while (5-15 minutes, i never timed it, but it was a dern long time) to mount up.
Now that I've exceeded the TB threshold, I'm probably gonna go...
ok, so after complaining and going through the red tape, they retracted my financial aid denial and now they're giving me a whopping 500$ for the whole semester... so in short, someone buy a pile of HDs from me! Check the first post, it's been updated a bit
"I got drinkin' buddies in kingsport" bump :cool:
that chest is pretty neato, but i'm not gonna be your way (or able to get over there) for a while (in knoxville)
