I just replaced a failing Seagate HDD from a netbook and put a spare Toshiba inside. At least the netbook should keep going for a while. Also managed to sell that, albeit at half the street price. It was otherwise lying there, so... :) |
Can I just say that downloading Linux distros through torrenting is much faster than direct downloading? :P haha

How does one actually do a legitimate in-depth review of a device? I mean, I've had my desktop for about 2 or 3 months now and if I was going to write a review for it I'd probably get as far as "it works good for everything i need it for, can't hear it over my computer and it never smells like its about to burst into flames. A-ok"
|
I could also jump on the review bandwagon with the desktop I currently have (self-built) and a Desktop I'm building for my family for Christmas. Like a comparison of the two builds :D
Speaking of the Christmas computer, all the components are arriving back in England so I'm extremely happy about that, since I was worried some wouldn't make it in time for Christmas. |

For a detailed example, here's a review Engadget has on the Moto X from last year: http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/11/moto-x-review-2014/ |
After 3 days 2 night camp, I finally came back to home. Well, I had a duty for controlling public audience system. I used my friends laptop and found out that SSD is damn fast. Although the hard disk space is very small, the speed is X10 faster than HDD.
The laptop is acer aspire Windows 8.1 with 1,8Ghz dual core Core i-5 and Geforce 710M ( It's worse than Radeon 6670 lol) |
SSDs are killer and I really wish I had money to afford one with 500 GB :P
Of course, I just always like going with more space than what I need just to make sure that I never run out. |
Whatever your storage device is, as soon as your usage exceeds capacity, it immediately fails any possible consideration since it won't do the thing you need it to do. Might as well as get something with plenty of storage and live with some amount of sluggishness if that's the case.
Of course, if you can install more than one storage drive without giving up on anything, that'd be ideal! |
Well i have a laptop and a desktop. The desktop has 4 hardrive slot so i might plan to install 2 SSD and another HDD.
About the laptop, well... its horribly slow. It has 80GB HDD which has slow writing speed. It takes minutes to boot up laptop and programs. The processor however quite ok ( Intel Pentium Dual- Core T2390 ) But is it possible to change the hdd to ssd? Well i gotta buy 80 to 100 GB SSD one. |

However... Your laptop has a 80 GB HDD in the first place. One does wonder if the storage controller supports SATAII and AHCI, let alone SATAIII... |
Well the laptop is a 2008 model and i guess it does not support sata 2 version ......
By the way more hard disk means faster? |
Quote:
speccy can tell you if it's a SATA 2 drive if you're unsure. |
Speccy is a wonderful program to check the details of your computer specs and I would really recommend that as a true program to check specs at any given time.
Not to say that CPU-Z and GPU-Z are bad programs either. |

That does nothing with regard to random access, for the most part, though. For that, you want 7200 RPM or SSD. Even a 7200 RPM drive is enough to not make things feel awful, compared to a 5400 RPM drive. I finally changed all the wallpapers I use! I think I got tired of my old one. |
Are there any computers still manufactured with 5400 RMP HDDs these days? Seems like most are now 7200 RPM now.

Hopefully sooner or later SSDs can became standard and more affordable at larger sizes. |

7200 RPM HDDs are standard when it comes to desktops, though, but you can also get 5400 RPM HDDs. It's just that it's probably not worth it to get a 5400 RPM unless you're going to use it strictly as data storage. Quote:
I'm still sorting out things on this burner laptop right now while I prepare for travel to China. |

I really need to get a CD binder and label each and every one of my discs. I was trying to search through a pile of CDs/DVDs for a Vista install CD I made, and I found it thank gosh.
Oh, and I'm reinstalling Vista on my old Compaq laptop for the umpteenth time. For some reason, svchost.exe likes to really leak memory no matter how many times I reinstall Vista on it. |
