And I'm even more excited that it was by Hitachi, known for their AAM-enabled quiet hard drives, versus Seagate's loud garbage. Tom's Hardware  Hitachi's new Deskstar 7K1000 is clearly worth recommending for those with huge storage requirements. Its 1 TB represents a […]
Read moreI love competition, and this is a great example why. It forces companies to be innovative, and if they just rip off another company's idea, at least don't charge the consumer as much.

Those of you anxiously awaiting the release of the Xbox360 Elite can finally waste…err…spend those savings. If you can't wait, you can go to Ebay & be gauged to be one of the first.

Read moreI've never posted a link to DL.TV, and that's really my fault so I apologize. I should show my loyalty considering I used to watch this often. The show features Patrick Norton, from the old Tech-TV glory days, and they often feature home theater programming.

Read moreBlu-ray may have just won me over. This is exactly (possibly…specifications are still pending) the kind of drive that needed to be released for the PC market.
