Don't buy "Insert item here"
« on: Fri, 03 April 2015, 00:15:38 »
Thought I would share a bad experience with a product I just got. In the product description it didn't say "Ideal for low-drain devices". Needless to say two double A's took about 3-5 pictures with a camera before dying. I tried RMA but I would only get back about half what I paid for them.  :blank:


Anyone have any horror stories on bad products or pictures of things that aren't worth buying?

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The 840 EVO problem is very specific, only to OLD files..

So if you do a read test using hd Tune across the whole disk, You'll see areas with these dips

It should be almost a straight line across..
