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.

Went from 1050p straight to a good IPS 4k monitor. Text seems better, but I would prefer the 16:10 aspect ratio.

Ordered a P2415Q, seems to be backordered here in India. Should take 2-3 weeks to be delivered. How's the scaling on Windows 10? What % scaling do you guys run it at?

And no, you can't use a Plasma as a computer monitor. The static Windows desktop images will cause burn-in.

Better for motion handling and viewing angles. The OLED will have better blacks and "smart TV" functionality, if those are important to you.

So? I have a Zotac reference model, it's absolutely fine.

So what would you guys recommend, this one or the P2415Q as an upgrade from my 2209WA? general desktop use and some movie watching. My wife will use a lot of Illustrator and Photoshop on it as well. Price difference is 6000 rupees or 100$ here in India.

Joe, nice equipment. One suggestion, as a Pentax shooter, you'll get good hits when you post these on pentaxforums.com buy and sell also. All the best for your sale.

So I've ordered 2 of these drives, any experience with them? Going to use them as data storage drives, replacing my old 2TB drives with them.

So I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my SanDisk Extreme Pro 480,UEFI mode. Boots are a little slow compared to my laptop with a Samsung 830/256. Any way to trace boot delays? Thanks.Rest of the system in sig.

Already linked above.

Got the Zotac basic twin fan model. Nice and quiet under load, 5 year local warranty.

? Why the hate? I have an Extreme Pro 480GB running as my boot/games drive. Nice and fast, 10 year warranty.

Err, isn't the USB 3 feature for the internal memory? I thought the microsd card interface was separate?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1026015-REG/sandisk_sdcz88_128g_a46_cruzer_extreme_pro_cz88.html It's around 140USD at Newegg and Amazon. 240 MB/s write, 260 MB/s read. Offer valid till 30 August.

Willing to ship to India?

Any media made in Japan will work well. Taiyos are still #1.

Nope, no Indian version with 3g. European, I think, but not here in India. We get the same version you do in the US, at a worse price.

I like my 2012 Vaio 13. 1600*900,hybrid Intel and GT640M graphics, full fat Core i5 3210.

Why not buy an international version S5 from eBay unlocked and root if you're interested in custom ROMS?

I have the A50 and K50 1.2 both, amazing what you can get from thrift shops for the equivalent of 100 dollars!

So we had a deal here in India for the HD800s for 57000 rupees, which is around 900 dollars brand new. A bunch of my friends picked one up, and are now crying about the fact that they will have to pay an equal amount on amplification!

The K3 buffer is what Nikon shooters were expecting from the D7100. The Pentax has better weather sealing and a full line up of good weather sealed lenses.

PM sent. Need 4 keys, thanks.
