    Hard Drive Failure Rates

    I was big Seagate fanboi until I had to replace 7(seven) in 1 year- all different ages and sizes. One of the replacements came dead. 1 died a year later. Long turn around and poor refurbishing from Seagate's Tennessee plant. Costly returns- whether 1 or 4 HDDs. Not even factoring their poor...

    Plextor to Enter the Enterprise SSD Market

    Plextor and enterprise market- LOL. Since when rebadging and hiding the real manufacturer behind marketing mumbo jumbo is considered reliable. Plextor died long time ago and so did its reputation. "Validate" - another LOL.

    Seagate Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend Increase by 39%, Share Repurchase of $1B

    Intel and Micron develop first-ever 128 Gb NAND Flash memory chip

    Sandy Bridge-E and X79 Motherboards Listed on Chinese Stores

    Intel has stuck for long time with 3 brackets for their top processors - $280+,$500+, and $990+, with majority of their sales being in the first. Intel is not going to price their new 6 core below their $500 bracket. The quads (3820) will be in the $280+ bracket. Nothing new. Move along.

    Intel Releases SSD Toolbox 3.0 Software

    I bought my X25-m G2 for my laptop in Nov 2009 and it is still on 2% wear. SSDlife reports 5.2 TB written- it comes down to around 7GB/day. Meanwhile I replaced 7 rotational drives- 6 desktop and 1 laptop.
