    External USB 3.0 SSD, Fast sequential, excruciatingly slow random

    Sorry, forgot to say - I've seen the Angelbird and it looks impressive but it's far too expensive. I've been digging so far and I found this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/15/ten_usb_3_hdd_enclosures/page6.html Which is quite useful information. So far I know that the Akasa Lokstor X21...

    External USB 3.0 SSD, Fast sequential, excruciatingly slow random

    Does anyone use a USB 3.0 enclosure for an SSD with good 4K performance? How do I know that an enclosure such as this one will perform well? http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-2-5-inch-SuperSpeed-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B007019HJW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374185530&sr=8-1&keywords=ssd+enclosure Now...

    External USB 3.0 SSD, Fast sequential, excruciatingly slow random

    Screw that. 180 euros for this? I'm just going to return it, buy a normal SSD and an enclosure for it.

    External USB 3.0 SSD, Fast sequential, excruciatingly slow random

    This is..... painful to watch I will test it on 100MB and 4 runs now and see what happens, but it doesn't look promising.

    External USB 3.0 SSD, Fast sequential, excruciatingly slow random

    The problem is: The reason I bought this is to keep my workstation with a virtual machine on it. The performance has been REALLY, REALLY slow so far, though large files copy very quickly. I also notice that while the VM is open even doing basic stuff like navigating to folders takes ages...

    External USB 3.0 SSD, Fast sequential, excruciatingly slow random

    Hi, I have bought an "Integral 256 GB" external USB 3.0 drive. The sequential access speeds are really fast, but when it comes to small files (and 4K writes) it is EXTREMELY slow. Any ideas what might be the problem? I've tried this on my (USB 3.0) laptop and on my PC with the same...

    Dual Link DVI-D Cable, Maximum resolution & frequency?

    That's all I wanted to hear - I see the same, (wrong) copy paste description I started to get confused. Thanks

    Dual Link DVI-D Cable, Maximum resolution & frequency?

    You mind reading the post? Sellers saying DVI-D dual link keep saying 60hz is maximum resolution?

    Dual Link DVI-D Cable, Maximum resolution & frequency?

    120Hz. If the cable can support 2560x1600, it can support 1920x1080 at 120Hz. Single link DVI cables can't.

    Dual Link DVI-D Cable, Maximum resolution & frequency?

    I need to get a dual link DVI cable for my 1920x1080@120Hz monitor. (BenQ XL2420T). I've seen a whole load of sellers with descriptions like these for dual link DVI-D cables: • The DVI-D dual link configuration provides enough bandwidth for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and allows high...

    Can I run a 5770 on an 18A 12v Rail?

    Here's an image of the power supply specifications: I'm also running a core i5 2320 (non overclocked), 6GB of RAM, and a couple of case fans. I know that the 12V amps don't just "add up", so I'm wondering if it's enough, considering the 5770 is a pretty efficient card.

    Dual channel RAM question

    I have four slots for RAM on my motherboard. If I get two sets of these: 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC1333 8-8-8-24 Memory Would this give me better performance than 2x4GB sticks? with the same latency and so on. So, would 4x2GB give me better performance than 2x4GB?

    Underpowering a GTX 680

    ok ok, guys.. It's done :P I got the new power supply, and getting a new fan for my CPU. I'm pushing everything now. I have my CPU at 4GHz but intend to have it at 4.5 after I get the new fan. Playing the witcher 2 at ultra with ubersampling - I need to have my graphics card as 132% TDP to...

    Quiet LGA1155 cooler for i7 OC

    I'm going to overclock it though. Up till 4.5Ghz.Will it keep temps below 60 degrees? The intel stock cooler hits 95 degrees at 4.5 right now.

    Quiet LGA1155 cooler for i7 OC

    I'm leaning towards this now: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-001-CS&tool=3 despite everything else, just because of the price. Any other ideas? The local scan store doesn't have the Mugen 3, and I can get the Hyper 612S for €12 more than the A50. Is it worth the...
