    question is... is it restricted to 4K resolution detected by the software... that would suck.

    I'll just wait for it to posted on youtube...

    Just got 6 x 4TB of them REDS. First thing was run them through the WD diag tests. Took a while, but ran three drives at a time, while I test RAID building other three and putting some stress and benchmarks on them. Swap and test again. BTW, I Just RMA 5 x WD SE 4TB drives... one DOA, two with mix of sata disconnect and bad sector errors (probably partially related to the chip and bad sectors).

    I guess still "beta"? where to get it?

    Coming from a company that has literally nothing mobile (phone/tablet) in the market anymore and killed Palm... :rolleyes: mobile site better... less ads and clutter. Actually uses the whole screen (especially for high res screens!)

    hrm... thought the X3 is the next version. X1 is out (as in exit stage ). http://www.slashgear.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x3-leak-tips-4th-gen-core-i3-i7-cpu-and-qhd-screen-23302722/

    It was going to happen sooner or later, but MSI quickened it up. Only thing, available for MSI Afterburner (and other non-competing software) only for first 9 months. http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4701019&postcount=13

    only this last sentence mattered....

    OCZ did the consumers good. Kick started the lower cost SSD revolution. Bought A few of their drives, but sandforce left a bad aftertaste... even though it doesn't matter now with better and faster nands. I even run the sandforce ones from intel in busy servers. Toshiba is got a boat load of tech, but they seem to have given up on their own brand haha. I swear, it's must be all the lousy weird un-pronounceable names they used... Quas..? Aqui.. wha? This time, somebody must have said "lay off the naming! just buy a brand!" that too

    know if any more OCZ branded products?

    Both about the same. The larger ones will typically read better for disc that are not perfect. I have a samsung wireless dvd and pioneer, and neither reads as good as my asus bluray drive (external 5.25 usb3) and old 5.25 drives. But they sure save space. As for you old dvd drive... I remember dealing with some cases that are riveted and it's usually a "hidden" clip. If I remember right, one was after taking front panel off and bending metal "spring" where the screws would go.

    Windows + Virtualbox all the way baby! FreeNAS has come a long way since even a couple of years ago. At that time (8.x with new interface), FreeNAS was too limited. Great for iSCSI. ZFS ok, but RAIDz2 was not properly working two years ago when I tried. No native "alarm or active notification for array failures".. not RAID "migration" ability... big PITA for managing. To much limitations and commitment of hardware. 9.x looks better in specs... might try it out with my new drives. I would still do a plain linux + Virtualbox install. Snapshots for VM will save a beginner LOTS of time and frustration. Beginner can also try different types of "media centers" too.

    @Aleks Why not a 1TB samsung evo? more space and cheaper/GB, also better performing (due to more chips available). Btw, thanks for effort putting pictures in post. edit: 90K vs 30K IOPS and 520MB/s vs 410MB/s for write, (500GB/1TB vs 120GB). It's noticeable, especially since the 120GB will be for the OS. Two sticks would looks a little too lonely on there

    still... I wouldn't consider that printout a "photo".

    Apple will be looking for royalty... claiming it copies their "lightning" connector.

    So, it looks like the software is more of an "unlocker" than driver. That's to prevent the user from making a partition spanning both the ssd and hdd (that would cause problems). I guess WD could have shipped it "unlocked" (showing up as a 1120MB drive)... but the user would need to know how to partition it properly, right at the sweet spot between the ssd and hdd . I'm sure they can easily make a utility for Linux and OSX later. I think this is a good way to reduce driver/boot issues from RAID or Sata multiplier method. With this setup, I guess the SSD would be one more point of failure... though I would be more afraid of HDD dying first :lol: .

    Awesome, sick and tired of special batteries, and waiting for them to recharge. Just have AA rechargeable ready all the time.

    (from video 49 sec in) Looks like Cherry just making/assembling switches in the clear housing they already have, and corsair is putting LED's on the board. I'm more surprised there's a "Cherry Professional Gaming" youtube channel. I guess it took them long enough to realize that.

    diarrhea eggs... nice

    I don't know where you are getting that software is needed to use the two separate drives... Software is for migrating from the old hard drive (with the usb 3.0 kit). edit: additionally, software used to "unlock" second partition of hard drive containing the 1TB storage. This is NOT A DRIVER.

    I was checking current model prices, and the X1 carbon touch price has already gone down to $1K. I'm hoping the price will be competitive. It might be my upgrade too (though the touch version... as much as I like high resolution)

    stolen?

    Instead of picture frame... just the glass (clear or frosted with some pattern) + dark back = mirror. Then flick switch to see computer components haha.
