Sneaky Seagate slips 'world's fastest' enterprise disk mutant into the wild

Jules Wilko

Anyone seen any reviews?

Or real world benchmarks of this vs 10K 2.5" drives, and 15K 3.5" drives?

Be interesting to see whether there is any real world improvements to file servers / SQL etc?

Reg readers scrap over ultimate bacon sandwich

Jules Wilko

Oh as to Veggies...

I prefer mine well grilled, and no where near my bacon butty, as we know they are all rather partial to "vegetarian delight".

BBQ Sauce

Personally I really quite enjoy BBQ saunce with my bacon butty...

Back, smoked, and slightly crispy to the rest...

Grilled with a light coating of warm butter.

And fresh Warburtons Toastie.

Wow - Fanboi review?

Or is it just me?

Sony outs 1080p skinny laptops

Jules Wilko
Meh

1080 on 13 inches??

How good are your eyes to use this? Seriously??

No way that is going to be comfortable...

1080p on 15 screens is a strain...

It's gone from one ridiculous (786) to another (1080).

...I am sure the only people who have rated down this reply are those with hawk-eye vision...

Nice to see it technologically done... But really? Practical? I think not...

Dell's Kace control freak ARMed for SMBs

Jules Wilko
FAIL

Or many alternatives...

Use Spiceworks? Or many many many other tools...

$2500 you are having a laugh for a 200 device limit in the SMB sector??!!

Glad I didn't waste my time at a local Dell event that was featuring KACE...

OCZ Vertex bashes users with Blue Screen of Death

Jules Wilko
Stop

OCZ Failure

I wish the Vertex 3 failure was a bluescreen for me.

Mine just "dissapeared".

Not recognised in BIOS, not powering up / being recongnised in a USB caddy.

Just plain *gone*

And that was with the latest firmware.

Bought last Friday, dead this Tuesday.

Never going to buy an OCZ product ever again - I should learn - their RAM is generally crap too.

Samsung HW-C450 2.1 soundbar

Thumb Down

Seriously 80%? With no HDMI? You have to be kidding me...

Reviewer- please? Optical inputs only??

Worst roundup ever...

As per A Gould... Where the heck is the Acer Revo R3610 in this review - Belting machine that will whip anything there...

The Shuttle? Hardly a "mini PC" ??! (Let alone the WRONG model shuttle if you were going to pick any at all).

How about the Asrock Ion mini PC's? (Although admittedly just like the Esprimo, but Atom based).

Glaring omissions, poor, poor article...
