So the drive is at 35 degrees C, which is ~95 degrees Fahrenheit. Have attached a screenshot of a fresh benchmark - not sure what the issue is. Read speeds seem to be fine, but the write speeds are a concern.

Hi Maxx and wadec22, thanks for your replies. This is set up as a fresh drive, using a bootable USB Sandisk Extreme pendrive as the install media. Used the latest Windows 10 ISO from MS and it picked up my 10 Pro key directly from the BIOS and activated itself. All the drivers are updated...

Need some help guys. I installed a Sabrent 512GB variant on my new X1 Yoga 3rd Gen - but my write speeds are quite low. Any idea why this might be the case?

Yep, I have a 4K monitor, and my budget won't stretch to a Titan XP. I game at 1440p right now, and the 970 is showing its age. Thought the 1080 would be a better investment - I'll keep the card for 3 years minimum.

Thanks. How is the cooling on the Founders' Edition cards? Decent? Or better to go for a third-party EVGA design?

So I'm looking at replacing my GTX 970, which is a Zotac Dual Fan version. It is about 20.4cm in length, and I have an NZXT Tempest EVO case. Which are the shorter GTX 1080 cards out there? The PNY XLR8 and Asus Strix are about 30cm in length, and will bang up against the HDD cage in my case. I...

? I'm quite happy with the Venue 11 Pro, i5-4300Y + 4GB/128GB. Good performance.

LOL! For anyone who wants to know why I get the Indian version of the Steam Store - I am Indian, and live in India.. therefore the rupee payment option :)

It's 899 rupees on the Indian Steam Store as well. I picked it up, that comes to about 14USD.

It is cheap here in India as well - 889 rupees = around 13USD.

Ditto. I have the Z2 and an S4 with the extended Anker battery. Use both, but I really like the Z2. Need to replace its battery though, and the headphone jack is acting funny.

The sony z6..sd820, stereo speakers, IP68, microSD, 5.2 inch screen.

No, check the Amazon fulfilled option.. Ships in 2 to 4 weeks, still at 99 dollars.

Dell venue 11 pro for me, ipad Air for my daughter and for me and the wife to play Scrabble on.
