Price wise I usually find Scan to have a better selection, plus I get free next day delivery through an old promotion they ran so it's usually cheaper when time is a factor. I've never had any problems with them really, though the one time I had to RMA something was a bit long winded.

On the other hand, I had an excellent experience from eBuyer when I recieved a TV with dead pixels. They let me select a replacement as the original was out of stock, price matched it (only a few quid), delivered it the next day and collected the faulty unit.

So really, it all boils down to who has the item I want, and whoever is cheaper.

Oh well.. That about justifies the cost of that thing.. Had a pretty sweet deal on it anyhow, RAID-0 anyone? :giggle:

Yet thinking you could have five (5) 1TB Samsung F3 disks for the same kind of money as one of those...

for comparison, this is what a current sata3 wd 1tb can do (the 2tb ver should be faster, not sure)

@Inspiration:

Someone might make an assumption theres a slight bug somewhere with the S.M.A.R.T. on that one. ( I guess my dump disks both sides of the ssd would be a bit hotter than 30' in case the SSD was really that warm. :giggle:

)

Addition: For comparison, Samsung F3 1TB on same controller:

Ruger 10/22 the worlds funnest firearm.

Its supposed to be a gift, :-(

I put about 300 rounds through this thing for around $7. The guy in front of me at the gun shop had 10 boxes of .223 fmj (1000 rounds) and his bill was over $400. My box of 500 rounds was $12.

edit
Now I'm wondering wtf this guy was buying all that fmj for, it's no good for hunting. :unsure:

Dude looked a little shady really.

and itll probably take all 500 rounds if you plan on stopping anything with it

Rabbits, groundhogs, squirrels, birds, etc, will fall in one shot. I used to hunt with an (American) Indian fella who hunted deer with a savage rimfire 22. He'd work himself within 50yds and put one shot behind the ear, the deer would drop like a stone. Every family should have at least a. 22 rifle and pistol.

LMFAO. You might want to check the statistics. After car accidents, more children are killed by ingesting adult medications every year than are killed by gun accidents. Gun accidents are not a statistically significant cause of child death. Choking on small lego pieces is a greater risk, should we not let kids have lego's? Ban all prescription medications?

I would MUCH rather have a kid who is familiar with guns, gun safety, their proper use and storage, and who enjoys spending time walking in the woods hunting than some fat-ass future diabetic who sits on his butt pounding computer keys or an xbox controller all day.

all of that does not require a gun, it can be done perfectly well or even better without it

you're just another gun nut and I was just being sarcastic and because teaching kids how to use something doesn't automatically make them responsible about it, kids are kids, not exactly famous for thinking much or being careful with things

SkribEdit: Bit slow are we? Maybe you should read my post again...

we? oh you feeling slow? don't worry, the guy below is slower than the both of us

If you want to learn survival, go to the bloody outbacks in australia and fight some crocodiles. Dundee style, all he needed was his lovel hat and trusty knife.

Seems people can't read. So for the last time. Shut it. Make a new thread if you want to discuss this further.
