    Latest BackBlaze drive stats

    Is there anything definitive written about this? Time was an enterprise drive was usually a physically a different beast with higher IOPs (higher spindle speed) and lower STR (less platter density). But the ones that look the same on paper, is there actually a physical difference? I have...

    Latest BackBlaze drive stats

    Incomplete raw data is provided (nothing on environment, role, etc which I'd definitely want to know), but they aren’t only providing that. They use the statistically insignificant data to draw conclusions and include them in their representations of the data. Not to mention that they know very...

    Latest BackBlaze drive stats

    They don't even have 50 units of some models in use and they publish data. Some of their previous 'statistics' have included models where they have had around 10 in use.

    Latest BackBlaze drive stats

    BackBlaze's results are really meaningless outside of their situation (constant reads/writes 24/7), and complete meaningless in some instances due to the tiny sample sizes. Hard drives are mechanical and they can, and do, fail. Rarely there's a bad model - not manufacturer - that's more...

    Dying Light - PC next gen zombie open world game?

    I heard that since the updates this game isn't balanced for solo play, is this correct?

    Refusal to buy games because its not on steam

    I too pay extra for glorified uPlay shortcuts. :/ Would sooner be tied to no platforms, but when that's not an option the fewer/most convenient the better even if you're just launching another client. If uPlay and Origin want to compete they need to get more on there (Steam's dominance is not...

    Best software for virtualisation?

    http://www.tekrevue.com/parallels-10-fusion-7-virtualbox-benchmark Parallels has always performed better than Fusion, and integrated into OS X better as well (if you like that). But try them out, see what you like. I haven't used Fusion 7, and Parallels 10 leaves this extra annoying window open...

    Yosemite rubbish for anyone else?

    I haven't had any problems really. Caffeine (lasted updated in early 2010) hasn't worked properly for a long time, not since Mountain Lion made changes and introduced new commands.

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    Cruzerlite Bugdroid is not a very good fit on the sides, still waiting to hear of something better.

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    Been about a year since I killed my 2-3 pair a month habit. Monster Gratitude, VSonic GR02 Bass Edition, and JVC FXD80, I'd say.

    Best place to sell iMac

    Gumtree is good, and bear in mind that there are no 10% fees, postage, and chance of issues when people make you offers. Members Market will be hassle free but you'll probably get the least for it. eBay will usually net you the most money, even after fees. The sites offering to buy it will...

    By the time you see this you'll be used to it.

    What's the point of the mac mini in 2014?

    I don't think either of you actually understand what it is I'm talking about, because it isn't actually technically possible that you are not experiencing judder, and that was just one thing amongst many. OS X is just technically poor for video playback (as it suffers from anything to do with...

    What's the point of the mac mini in 2014?

    Then I'm happy for you. I never said it didn't "work" whatever that means. OS X has poor playback software, renderers and drivers. You'll never get the playback quality that you can using Windows say, I still don't think you can even avoid judder as you can't use 23.976Hz. On top of this...

    Owncloud vs Onedrive

    Why not OVH - http://www.kimsufi.com/uk - where you can get a whole server for a fiver? You really don't need storage on an SSD... Consider these too: http://seafile.com/en/home https://pydio.com/solution https://ind.ie/pulse http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/download http://barracudadrive.com...

    What's the point of the mac mini in 2014?

    Silly choice for a HTPC. You can get all the hardware you need for a fraction of the price, and OS X is poor for video playback (don't know what he's on about), let alone full HTPC use. There are far better platforms and packages.

    Recommend me some android customisations

    Tried Google Keyboard? You can play with loads of settings for the stock one, could help. I use Textra for SMS, was my favourite after trying a few out.

    Can someone recommend me something like Photoshop (or Photoshop!)

    Pixelmator is very good, hear good stuff about Acorn as well. Both are aimed at PS users.
