    ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145881 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145875 or a SSHD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178340 (this one has a promo code on it) The drawback on using 7200RPM drives in a laptop is heat and battery usage. Spins faster = uses more battery power/generates more heat. Battery consumption will be marginal but it will still drain the battery faster than a 5400-RPM drive.

    SMART is built into the drive. If you want to actually want to read the signals it gives off, you have to enable it in the BIOS. Firmware can be installed from the OS level.

    I would only get a larger SSD if you could afford it. SSDs are still pricey despite the benefits. But 120GB should be fine. I would still check to see if the program you used did align the parttitions correctly. Most should, but you never know. It booted and you're running so that's a good sign. You can enable SMART on the new SSD if it wasn't already. Check the manufacturer for any firmware updates for that SSD.

    Meh. It's the middle of a serial leading to the season finale next week.

    Was it MBR or GPT?

    Interesting. A new Unreal Tournament is finally coming, mod-friendly and free

    I know....oh well.

    New trailer, with subs:

    Ah. Thought you were going from a large HDD to a smaller SSD. Be sure to check (just check it) the alignment of the old drive before cloning and realign the new one after cloning. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/113967-ssd-alignment.html http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/checking_ssd_alignment SATA 3 drives are compatible with SATA2. You will just lose some potential speed benefits of SATA3. In most cases, you won't notice it. All 2.5" drives are the same width, hence the 2.5"-label. Same height? Can't be sure. Especially with larger HDDs. Though most should fit without problems. Brands? Your mileage may vary. I've used Western Digital HDDs, Segate HDDs and SSHDs without many problems. I've only had 1 Seagate fail on me in recent years. I've used Samsung and Crucial SSDs without problems so far. I've gone through Hitachi's, Toshibas and others with about the same failure rate. Again, your mileage may vary.

    Oh...You're switching to a SSD. You might want to read some forums and help guides on that. Especially if you're going from a larger HD to a smaller SSD. There is some work you'll need to do to the hard drive before migrating to the SSD.

    And here I went lighter with a rMBP. I don't game on my laptop so I was fine with that direction. Yeah, that's one of many adapters. They're nice to keep around since you'll never know when something will break and you need to extract data. An enclosure will also be good if you want to reuse that hard drive as spare storage. I've done that with a few laptop drives after upgrading to a larger drive. I'll also throw my weight behind CloneZilla. Used it a few times already to migrate to a larger HD. Worked fine.

    Some of us came to that conclusion way before the time stamp of this statement. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37082&p=1098010 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37082&p=1099634 Anyone who says they're "investigating the issue" or still thinking that line that Big West had any involvement with this should serious "talk" to us.

    FYI Release schedule (IMDB)
  15. azrael
    I bring it up only because we're at this now. Only 3 months since Titanfall. So when I saw this, I just said, "Wow, how low can we go with CoD? Apparently not low enough."

    Call of Duty: Titanfall CrysisAdvanced Warfare trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sFu5qXMuaJU Wait a sec, didn't Black Ops 2 already do this advanced tech crap?
  17. azrael
    Initial screening reactions are coming in. Cover your ears.
  18. azrael
    I didn't really see any new footage of the Turtles in this compared to the last one so I'm not terribly impressed. Hence, the "Meh".
  19. azrael
    Not sure how much faith I want to put into the novelizations...Anyways. Seto is probably right. If you've ever worked for a company with a large workforce, beyond your group or the few faces you see daily, it's unrealistic (for normal people) to recognize some 10,000+ people. And lab assistants come and go all the time.

    JJ is also Executive Producer on Persons of Interest, Revolution, and Believe. So I doubt it had to do with Abrams. It's more likely that it wasn't a ratings magnet. Look at this thread. Not many posts despite starting a year ago when the show was announced.
  21. azrael
    Meh.
  22. azrael
    Oh Robotech. Not single ounce of creativity. Not even among their fans.
  23. azrael
    Not thunder thighs like that.
  24. azrael
    Well, to be fair, at least it's above the waist line. Thunder-thighs got a small spare tire.
  25. azrael
    BOMBA!
