Yeah I'd have liked 2, but on the flip side, it's nice that more people get to benefit from the price when they do it this way.

No idea, but I can't say I've ever noticed much variation in comparably sized and sped drives.
26/12/2022 - 11:48
Yeah I'm concerned about this ... when buying from overseas I avoid 'bare' drives figuring the ones in caddys will have a little more…

Exos are enterprise, so reasonable assumption that they're better (albeit, will the average consumer be able to perceive such an…

I'm not a huge expert (but do have a ~200TB Server, so do have *some* experience). These are geared towards 'NAS' usage, so they should be…

It was borderline 'too good to be true' territory, but not unprecedented. Especially as newer larger drives are making an appearance; that…

Seagate IronWolf Pro 14TB 3.5" Hard Drive $308.27 Delivered @ Amazon AU
14TB Seagate drive, without the need to Shuck. Looks like the best price on 14TB for many months, and ships from AU rather than UK/US.…

I was curious, so did some research. Although there are a lot of news articles (seemingly all referencing the same survey about how unaware…

I'm in a very similar situation to you, so thought I'd add my experience (though won't help with the crashing issues) I too am a life-long…

Does anyone know how they link the points back to your account? I used the same email address, but my kid's accounts are linked to the same…

I think this is why my teacher sister refuses to live / shop / go out anywhere near the school she works at :) But honestly? If it's…

Yes, we looked at that one a few times, but did wonder what the build quality would be like - didn't look quite as sturdy. However. we did…

Maison Camp / Beach Trolley - $134.98 with Free Shipping @ Kathmandu
We've been looking at this trolley for a while, but the price tag was a bit higher than we wanted to pay - sure it is normally $260, which…

Great price, and needed a new messenger bag to accommodate the new 70-200 lens I just bought! Thanks!

Strange, switched to my other eBay account, and worked fine!
19/12/2018 - 10:38
Anyone having a problem applying the code? I've added a few bits from the Sony Store (even followed the link directly from the eBay T&C…
19/12/2018 - 10:20
Yes, though this does appear to be a common issue with the socket mechanism spec, rather than specifically an ASUS issue. Frustrating…

True that a 16-core CPU isn't really for gaming. But though its a 'ROG' board, and has an overload of LED (not for me thanks!), I would…

Figured if TR2 comes out, TR1 may drop in price - though Zen+ chips I believe came out cheaper than the original Zen chips did, so perhaps…

ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME Threadripper X399 Motherboard. $378.60 USD Shipped (~ $501 AU) @ Amazon US
I've been on the fence about a 1950x for a while now, so been watching this item closely. This is pretty much the best X399 board you can…
23/05/2018 - 14:13
thanks OP - had been torn between a 1050 ti & 1060 - still outrageous prices, but if you need a half decent card now, this makes it a bit…
16/05/2018 - 23:51
Any reason to pick one over the other between this and the Galax? I don't stress mine as it is (don't really game much), so don't think…
16/05/2018 - 23:36
Great price - was planning on grabbing the 2700x, but may have been swayed to this if I'd been a bit quicker!
28/04/2018 - 20:17
It varies. I'm very careful about giving out my number, so it's usually a relevant phone call, rather than cold-calling. But, I take the…

a 24" FHD is not as *tall* as a 34in ultrawide, so you have the same number of pixels high, but on the 34in, they're 'stretched' over a…
15/04/2018 - 21:13
Great find OP. I was on the fence about replacing my 27in with a 34in 3440x1440 Samsung ultrawide. After giving it some thought over the…
