Thank you for your very informative answer! That's what I wanted to know! I don't care about the difference but I was curious about that difference. I also saw my same HDD model get 200MB/s based on other people's benchmarks, so I was just wondering why these differences exist considering how...

I was wondering why it's slower than another drive that was the same model and had the same firmware, what's wrong with this question? Sorry if I made you angry.

I don't see anything like that on the label. I looked for "refurbished" "rectified" "recertified". Does this mean it's new? I did send it back the day I got it, maybe they took that into account and sent a new one.

on the HDD itself? I'll take a look... Thanks for your help!

I'll keep that in mind next time I do this, I never RMA'd a HDD before, usually they lasted until after their warranty, so I have no experience with this. So there's no way to find out if this is a crappy refurbished driive? it's the same model, same everything, but the speed is a bit lower...

Yes to the last question. And I compared them when they were both empty. So it means a faulty drive got repaired and they sent me that crap? Damn... as if it was my fault they sent a broken one in the first place. I'm even sadder because the new one wasn't even defective, it just had a minor...

I RMA'd a drive and got one that's on average about 8-10MB/s slower. Is this normal? I'm planning to make it a OS drive. I'm talking about the WD10EZEX from western digital.

thank you!

I actually did mine something like a 1BTC a few months ago, when it was worth about 10-20$, it worked fine as well but I'm not sure how intensive btc mining is, considering it doesn't use anything except the gpu, and in the gpu it only uses the processor itself and not the vram (that you can...

I got it in 2011, so about 1-2 years old full specs: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3606#kf I have: 2x 1TB HDDs 2x4gb ram i5 2400 running at 1.15v with turbo on (3.6ghz) HD7850 running at 1200mhz OC (factory clock is 800mhz) average gigabyte motherboard...

wish people would stop using so many fucking hyperboles! it doesn't DESTROY it unless it's 150%, double or a few times faster! DESTROY DOESN'T MEAN 5fps FFS... god damn it... What the hell is wrong with you people? For example, let me give you an analogy. 2 racers are competing in a race. At...

why didn't you buy a 5XXX gpu for bitcoin mining? 5850 for example. What you're doing now isn't profitable at all, you're actually giving your electricity provider a stable income by mining with your GPU now. What are you making... like 0.2 bitcoins a day or what? wait a sec... why are you even...

another update http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4804102 P8086 My max overclock seems to be about 1290mhz at 1.225 (max voltage without installing custom BIOS which I won't, heard a lot of people permanently bricked their gpus that way, either immediately or in a few days after they did that) temps...

awesome driver, got P8065 in 3dmark11 with 7850 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4776387
