Amazingly fast raid

SAMSUNG 840 EVO  SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE120BW
SAMSUNG 840 EVO SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE120BW

Pros: Got 2 of these on a special from newegg with a carrier for $140. Installed as a striped raid array in my windows 8.1 system with a fresh load of windows. After Installing all my other software I ran a HD Tune Benchmark. Min. Transfer rate 738.4 MB/sec. , max 1022.2 MB/sec, avg 996.9 MB/sec. Access time 0.1 ms, burst rate 1954.6 MB/sec . Wow - just Wow!

Cons: none

Overall Review: These are Samsung's cheapest SSD's. I wonder what the expensive ones can do! I have had an 830 since they came out and I thought that was fast - this raid array boggles my mind!

Overall Review: Highly recommend it - great at the price

Worth the money

Huion 5×8 Inches Graphics Tablet (With Function Keys) - H580 Black & Yellow
Huion 5×8 Inches Graphics Tablet (With Function Keys) - H580 Black & Yellow

Pros: Nice size - works well. Pen feels good in my hand, I think I will be overall happy with it.

Cons: Driver CD was missing, downloaded drivers work, but the program to set up the tablet does not work from the taskbar shortcut, must run it from the install folder. Could use better documentation.

Overall Review: My first tablet so I have not a lot to compare it to. Did not want to invest $350 in the comparable Wacom not knowing if I would get the use out of it. For $50 its great.
