  1. I feel like this series could get allot more fair if it handles multiple warranty claims over different products, given that multiple support clerks work at these places a review of their customer support might turn out unfairly poor if they just got the one crap rep who just started and isn’t long for their job status to stay hired, or maybe it’s scummy mc scum ville in the company returns department but they got a Robin Hood handling their case making the sponsor appear better than they should have. I had this thought because each time I’ve dealt with ifixit support I’ve had replies within a day and in one case when my postage went missing not at their own fault they offered me a full refund or to resend the product (of which I accepted the refund and 2 months later got my screwdrivers after the postman found them) good video with all that said
  2. About the FPV rc car: wifi is 100% the wrong tech to do FPV with. If you want digital video the only really viable option is DJI and they don’t even use wifi because it’s not the right band. The one and only way to FPV is analogue (this is how the FPV drones do it) and there actually is already a cheaper analogue FPV RC car which has been out for a while called the EMAX Interceptor. A review with video footage can be found under my post. I’ve raced these with my mate around his house which has slats and when we get to the 180 turn around at his front door the back goes out and you drift around the corner it’s genuinely the most insane rc car experience ever
  3. Basically cheaper than an ssd but faster than a green, I want always spinning drive, I’ve always had a ssd boot, black overfill for large apps that can’t fit on ssd then a few cheaper drives (greens) for storage
  4. I think I’ll either go el cheapo with a 2tb black spinner or I might just go an SSD with 5 year warrenty as I’m unlikely to hit the write limits they have
  5. A NAS is in the works, but this is for applications that I use daily + photo editing.
  6. Hi All I've been doing some digging into what would be a good replacement WD 2TB Black which is starting to get bad sectors.This drive is used for excessively sized applications/games that dont fit on my boot drive. I was thinking about just getting another, perhapse 4tb instead, however I've found for not much more I could get a 2TB SSD. This would allow me to get that lovely SSD performance boost and maybe? better reliability. However this is where I am not sure as the info out there is mixed. What I wan above all else is reliability. I have backups, however they are partial as I dont want to pay to store my software + I dont have enough excess storage to backup images locally. Therefore when the drive is corrupt there is a process of cateloging what I'm loosing, restoring files from backups and re-downloading software. Therefore I would really like a drive that will last as long as possible so I can avoid this annoying restore process. Out of the following drives, which would likely last longer: Crucial MX500 2TB SATA 2.5" 7mm SSD Samsung 860 EVO Series 2.5" 7mm 2TB SSD Seagate Barracuda 120 2.5" 2TB SATA SSD WD Black WD4005FZBX 3.5" 4TB 256MB 7200RPM Desktop HDD OR what are the HDD's you all would recomend for daily use that is mostly read + storage? The above is just at my local shop which makes it easier for me Thanks in advance!
