(NAS) DS214 vs DS213j ?

Why would anyone go with Blacks for NAS? If you're going to spend that much money for the 5 year warranty, you might as well spend the extra few dollars and go with WD SE enterprise drives.

(NAS) DS214 vs DS213j ?

True, but there's not really any difference between SHR and raid 1 when using a two bay.

(NAS) DS214 vs DS213j ?

I recently went through the same thing trying to decide between both of these over the past few weeks, and my advice would be to get the DS213J. With the exception of running all kinds of apps (way more than downloads, media, and backup stuff), which I don't think either of us will be doing, the...

Best 500GB SSD for ASUS GT50V

Plextor M5P/M3, Samsung 830/840 Pro, or Crucial m4. If you really need to stay below $400, the M3 is $360, should be back in stock at Newegg on Friday, and is what I'd recommend. I agree Intel is reliable, but you're not going to see deals on their bigger sized SSD flavors.

How good performance can SSD get on SATA2 instead of SATA3?

Yes, Samsung did the same thing by limiting the optical bay to Sata II (They used Sata port 2 instead of 1), but they at least left the main bay (port 0) alone giving my M5 Pro ~1100 in AS SSD. Anyway, I agree and wouldn't really worry about the numbers too much. FWIW your M3 access times look...

What kind of laptop do you have? Intel chipsets traditionally do better than those of AMD even with desktop systems. Also, some laptops get limited/bottlenecked by certain manufacturers with their bios implementation. Edit: Here it is on Sata III in case you were interested (Asrock...

Go with two sets of these - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electr...ds=samsung+8gb Review - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Samsung/MV-3V4G3/8.html They're the same price on newegg, can be overclocked well beyond 1866, and you get 16GB for quite a bit less.

When I said you won't feel a difference I meant between Sata II & Sata III, not hdd to ssd. Something I also forgot to mention are the access times. They're a very big reason why going from an hdd to an ssd is such a huge upgrade that you will actually feel.

Just do it as there really won't be any felt performance loss or difference. I have two SSDs in mine, and despite the M3 being on Sata II (Optibay), it still pulls off these kind of 4k read/write speeds.

Cheaper sure, faster? No way lol. Anyway, I agree the 830 is a better deal @ $159.99, but you're missing three things. First tax kills the $160 deal, over half of the stores are out of stock, and more importantly most people don't live near an MC. Wow and check this out -...

You're using paper artist instead of photo editor. After you take a screen shot and drag down the notification bar, touch the picture instead of choosing edit. You'll now be in gallery, hit menu then advanced edit and choose photo editor. There are tons of options at this point.

This is a JellyBean limitation not a phone limitation. There are mods that allow you to move apps to the sdcard, but you need root and may need to be using specific roms.

I didn't mean everyone and sure, I'll agree there's a niche group of people out there that want smaller phones. I was referring to my relatives, co-workers, friends, and acquaintances who thought the Evo 4G was ridiculous in size two years ago. Roughly 90% of those same people own a 4.7"-.4.8"...

The screen is bigger diagonally (GNI 5.3" 16:10 vs. GNII 5.55" 16:9), while the phone itself is taller, thinner, and not as wide (GNI 147x83x10mm vs. GNII 151x80.5x9.4mm). Edit: FWIW, I think something that's often overlooked is that there are two distinct groups of phone users, and this is...
