OCZ 60 GB SolidState Drive

OCZ Core Series V2 2.5" 60GB SATA II & Mini USB 2.0 Port MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2C60G
OCZ Core Series V2 2.5" 60GB SATA II & Mini USB 2.0 Port MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2C60G

Pros: This is one AWESOME drive, but !!! WARNING !!! you must go to OCZ support forums and search out Reg Fixes to do before you install this drive, or any other SSD for that matter. If you do not do the fixes OCZ says you will permanently damage the drive, the basic fixes consist of memory management ie: disable de frag, write behind cache, delete buffer on shutdown and stuff like that. It is a really easy reghack to do, but you must do it. and this drive screams. I installed it as a system drive on my Dell PowerEdge 1900 Server, boot time was cut in half, drive access was cut in half, USB printer access was 'Right Now' like now no waiting where it used to lag 5 or 6 seconds before.

Cons: Price, but willing to pay to get the performance improvements beware of these drives however, their are lots of mfg's and models, i found 80% to be the less expensive and very low performance.

Overall Review: DO YOUR HOMEWORK EXTENSIVELY BEFORE BUYING

Great Product

BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N150 Wireless USB Adapter - WLI-UC-GNHP
BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N150 Wireless USB Adapter - WLI-UC-GNHP

Pros: This is the best USB Wireless dongle I have owned yet, I have it on a Lenovo Think Centre A70z, All In One. I mounted this AIO to the wall merely just to use it for Magic Jack, The reception is great, fast, with no lagging. As far as the installation, it was a bit tricky, but go slow and watch what your doing, it does work. Here is a tip. You will come to a screen that gives you 2 choices, they will be 2 box like icons that are fairly large, don't remember what they say, but I picked the left one. It was a guess on my part but obviously the correct tone.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Buy this Baby!!!

Awesome Product

Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 57NKH3HS00GZ
Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 57NKH3HS00GZ

Pros: This card was installed into a Dell Precision 690 Workstation, running 2 - Dual Core Xeon 3.0 processors, 16GB memory, 15,000 RPM SAS drive 160GB, 1-2TB 7200 RPM Storage Drive. This machine just rocks with this card. Previously I purchased the GTX 460 for another 690. But the 570 just opens up the flood gates and lets this machine scream!!

Cons: It does not come with the 6 Pin Power pigtails, you must have 2 6 pin rails coming from your Power Supply. I didnt have but happen to have some that came with another card, so that saved me. Otherwise no complaints

The Raptor

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Like all Raptors, these drives are the 21st century SCSI, when it comes to reliability is uncomparible, the speed and read/write and access times are unmatchable. as far as cost, price out a 600GB SCSI drive, here is an example: Seagate Genuine Cheetah ST3600002SS 600 GB 10000 RPM Part Number: ST3600002SS Price: $427.27 I will agree SCSI is a different interface and designed for long years of use and what not, but very pricey, SATA is the consumer version of that, Still very high quality, but more afforadable for the average consumer. I have owned many of the Raptors, and the SCSI equivilents, with no complaints from either. So for all those that are whining about the price, let em whine. My final thought: Now that these are 600GB I can buy an 8 drive external Raid enclosure and install 8 of these drives in a striped raid, and have 4.8 TB of backup storage!

Cons: None Technically

Overall Review: Go for it! and Enjoy!!!

Pros: These are great drives, I have been using Plextor products since the mid 90's. As far as the Cons that ppl are stating they dont fit in certain cases because the bezel is too wide?? I have personally never seen this issue. All drive bezels are standard size. I have fit these into Dells and No Name cases just fine...

Cons: None!!!
