As a designer and 3-d modeler, I would put this bad boy in a Asus WS board and fire away with some good running content!

Oh okay! Yeah not many people will see the different of 1440 over 1080 on that small of a screen...only when you get to a 27" monitor like I have that really makes the difference! But thanks, I'll consider the G2..... I actually haven't seen LG a whole lot so what's this privacy agreement issue with the G3?

What about the G3?

Of course the usually talk, text, web stuff. But I also stream a lot (multiple things), I want to be able to multitask easier (for example I wish I could browse or text while running YouTube...which is why my current iPhone 4s is Jailbroken). I will be using music of course but that is no issue for me on any phone, granted all my music is through iTunes, but I will still manage. I do use FaceTime frequently, but I know I can achieve the same thing with Skype (though my friends would have to install the app for it since they all have iPhones). I do obviously take photos but I do not overly care about a phones camera specs as much as I do with smoothness of the OS. One thing I do hate is Lag...on any phone, specifically with simple home features that shouldn't happen. I am not opposed to Android as I have used it in the past with HTC. I will take a gander at the LG G2. And yes I know the retail prices of both phones I have mentioned. It is unfortunate that they are so high but I was trying to justify there costs by looking at it over the usual 2 year span. I can afford the retail prices up front...it may hurt but in some ways I will still save some (I think) over the course of those 2 years.

Either the iPhone 6 64GB or the Note 4... I like things with both, but I also dislike things with both. I know the next Android is supposedly not going to allow you to install apps on the SD card anymore due to security issues (I think), which is a bummer. But all my friends have iOS plus the Mac computer part so it technically is the most compatible for me...I just like change really, but I'm not immediately in need of a phone today. Just trying to figure things out.

I'm trying to justify a purchase issue. I currently am due for an upgrade with Verizon, keep in mind I am on an old Verizon plan and not the share everything plan. With my phone, I have unlimited data at $30...which is awesome. But, if I upgrade to a new phone, I apparently lose my unlimited data and must resort to Verizon's Max plan thing for no extra cost, which gives me 6GB of data since I am coming from unlimited. Or I can buy a phone at retail cost and keep my unlimited data. I typically average around 5-8GB per month of Data anyways, sometimes I peak at 15GB. Any suggestions? I could resort to the lower priced phone and data but I will need to start keeping track of when I use it. Or I can pay the full price of the phone, which you will end up doing anyways over 2 years depending on your plan... Is there any other way to keep my unlimited or do people think I should opt out for the 6GB option? What about data caps? Does Verizon cap my speed/data once I get to a certain point or percentage with unlimited? I've read several conflicting answers regarding that...some say they cap it to force you to buy the tiered price while others say even with the tiered options they still cap your speed...wtf? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

We all support what you guys do. I for one appreciate the effort and enthusiasm you all put into your content. It is channels like these that make a true difference in a community. Thank you guys and keep up the good work!

I love the front facing speakers with the new screen on the Z2! Wish more phones did this! Dbrands skins are really wicked! Even this skin! They always do a great job it seems.

Well, maybe I should start a Kickstarter for this and then maybe in a few months send it to Linus! haha

HaHa I enjoyed making it!! And you are very welcome!

Already did!

Introducing for the first time: Barnacules Tear OS pro and Tear OS newb

ShadowCaptain has a good point by using the FlashDrive as an alternative Library, didn't think of that one. For me, since being on my laptop and having minimal USB ports, I use the FlashDrive as my dedicated drive with Steam/Origin/Whatever install on it, instead of a mechanical drive I've been using. So yeah it is just treating the FlashDrive like your C:/ Drive!

You know it!

So besides the fact that the Corsair Voyager GTX is really fast for a flash drive, what else could it be used for besides what the reviews on YouTube, including Linus, have not already covered? What about gaming? Gaming from a flash drive has never been a feasible option. As a matter of fact, running any high end program from a flash drive seems impractical. It runs slow, bottlenecks, and is down right not worth the hassle. Well, in short, this Flash Drive changes this. So can you game on this drive? Yes! Is gaming on this flash drive the best option or the most practical? Maybe...maybe not. If you are a gamer on the go with a laptop, or like to attend a LAN...with a laptop, then this seems like a great option for you. If you are going to bring a small form factor PC like the Bitfenix Prodigy then just use an SSD. This Drive will not be for you. If you are wanting a drive that is small, very fast, and will actually play the game as if natively then this is what you need! Yes the transfer rates on this drive are all well and good as many reviews have tested but none have touched the subject of gaming from one which is what I'm going to break down. My setup: I have a MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 fully stocked...yes hate on me for gaming on a Mac, it works very well actually and I needed the mobility, nuf said...anyways, I use a slim external hard drive to store all my games via the USB 3.0 port. This is all good but at average speeds of 105 MB/s it is minuscule in comparison to what seemed the Voyager could champion over. So I purchased the 256GB version, cloned my external to the Voyager and put Battlefield 4 and Titanfall to the test. To my surprise, it ran very very well. Heat?: The drive did not heat up as much as I thought it would and I checked constantly. While playing BF4, the outer housing remained a steady "warm" feeling...not blistering hot. That being said, if you are not transferring over 100GB of data at once, you shouldn't experience any overheating issues. Performance?: With the majority of maps on BF4 and Titanfall, I experienced a pretty substantial increase in load times. Typicall with my mechanical drive, I found that on BF4 a typical map could take 55-135 seconds to load. To some that may not seem long...just enough time to take a piss. The Voyager had performance that was to be expected. The map load times averaged around 10-30 seconds, sometimes within 5 seconds if the map isn't too big. And on top of that, some of the textures seemed to render (in the beginning of map load) noticeably faster. Longevity?: This drive is relatively new for my setup so how it handles over time will tell. I will follow up with a response on its age/performance. However, aesthetically, it looks great and durable. But this is pure subjective. Benchtest?: I performed four separate kinds of tests. 1: Mac side test with nothing on the drive. 2: PC side test with nothing on the drive. 3: PC side test with 170GB on drive with no programs running. 4: PC side test with 170GB on drive with 3-4 programs running in background. 1---Mac side I used the standard Blackmagicdesign test: Sequential Read: Avg. 426.05 MB/s Sequential Write: Avg. 155.65 MB/s 2---PC side using CyrstalDiskMark---- Sequential Read: Avg. 399.3 MB/s Sequential Write: Avg. 186.2 MB/s 3---PC side using CyrstalDiskMark with 170GB, no load--- Seq. Reads: Avg. 369-397 MB/s 4---PC side using CyrstalDiskMark with 170GB, with Origin, Steam, and 1-2 Background Loads--- Seq. Reads: Avg. 316-360 MB/s Conclusion: -Yes, you can game on this drive very well. Is it the most ideal choice for mobile? Maybe, maybe not, but it certainly helps with speed and overall physical size as compared to an external if you're on the go or at a LAN. Is this good for professionals? Very much so, especially with large models or documents you need to work off of instead of dragging the file to the Desktop every time. You can work straight from the drive. -I believe this drive is a fascinating piece of technology and it has worked up to its expectation. Is it faster than an SSD? Of course NOT, but it is the best solution out there for those who just want pure speed in this sized form factor. Keep in mind, that if you do not have a USB 3.0 to benefit from, then this product is NOT FOR YOU....yet. USB 2.0 will not give you much of a better of performance than any other drive. -Overall, this is a solid Drive that is very well designed and will perform to your expectations whether your gaming, modeling, editing, or even doing large file transfers.
