The Barracuda ES

Advantages: Large capacity, Very Fast transfer rate
Disadvantages: Internal setup may pose trouble for some

...I've been using the Barracuda 320GB Hard Drive for some months now, I bought it for the capacity, speed and new features aswell as many past experiences with seagate drives that have always been good, they may not come top in benchmark tests but there usually in the top five and are one of the most quiet. As with most drives, after formatting you lose some space, the 320GB ended up being about 298GB, but no complaints here 298 gigs is more space than I'll ever use. The "ES" models are the ones to buy if you want reliability there designed for 24/7 operation mainly used in businesses, the Barracuda ES monitors temperatures and shuffles I/O requests to allow the drive to cool if it gets too hot. Internal is cheaper than external and you save desktop space, plus some external drives require a separate power supply so you also save...

Barracuda 7200.11 AVOID at all costs

Advantages: low noise
Disadvantages: no reliability what so ever, will definitely break unless you update firmware

...The Seagate 7200.11 is probably is worst hard disk there is. I have only had it for 9 months and it's broken. I will keep myself to be subjective when writing this review though - so there's no need to worry! = the BASICS The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 was released in 2008. It was the 11th generation of the Barracuda line of hard drives. It comes in 160Gb, 320Gb, 500Gb (mine), 640Gb, 750Gb, 1TB and 1.5TB. It runs on 3 disk platters and can be subjected to forces of 350Gs when not operating. =my EXPERIENCE The hard drive was working well, compared to my previous (Western Digital 250Gb) which at times doesn't work and clicks occasionally, displaying error 51 in Event Viewer. 9 months down the line of first buying it one day the computer does not boot up at all. Going into BIOS and the hard drive is not recognised! So I looked...

Barracuda Enterprise-Server

Advantages: fast, quiet, five years warranty
Disadvantages: hot

...The Barracuda ES line is the higher-end (aka server line) series from Seagate, one of the big player in the storage business. It's designed for 24/7 operation and comes with five years warranty. This one is the SATA-II type which allows a maximum 3Gbps transfer rate. Some old motherboards can't accept SATA-II type of harddisk, so Seagate puts a jumper to "downgrade" the Barracuda ES to SATA-I specification (1.5 Mbps transfer rate). It has 16MB cache for maximum speed and reliability. Most hard disks come with 4-8MB of cache size. This one is very fast, reliable and impressive. I've been using it for almost 3 years, 6-12 hours a day and no single data corruption to date. It's relatively quiet but can be pretty hot when using continuously. Yes, I said hot, not warm. Sensor reading from the software "Everest" shows that...

HP LP2475w

Advantages: ok
Disadvantages: no

...exaggeration to describe HP LP2475w. I was initially hesitant to buy this because I didn't have a good experience concerning the HP All-in-one printer. The ink dried up before my make-up worn out. Therefore, I felt that my hard earned money went down the drain. The manual as usual is, I guess, a HP patent. It never delivers proper instruction and you suddenly start feeling as if you are at a big loss. I struggled for the first few hours .,,,exaggeration to describe HP LP2475w.

LP3- Better than their Classics!

Advantages: Interesting, original, experimental, something different.
Disadvantages: Non-specific genre means it's not marketed well.

...Ratatat aren't very well known here in the UK. Even when they played in London, the venue was small and exclusive and it was obvious from the reaction of the crowd that these were not just folk 'trying them out'. These were proper fans. Fans who weren't anxious about being disappointed, because they knew they wouldn't be. Ratatat consists of Mike Stroud and Evan Mast, and LP3 was created in a derelict old house in New York, chock full of extraordinary instruments that were used to full advantage. LP3 has been reviewed over and over again as perfect 'advert' or 'opening sequence' music. And whereas I can appreciate that many of the tracks could be used to aid all manner of inspiring scenes or purchases, the album on a whole has a lot more depth to it than that. Ratatat have progressed and matured slowly into less use of their guitars...

The Marshall Mathers LP

Advantages: Great Lyrics, basslines and productions. Funny and intelligent.
Disadvantages: Containslanguage and contecnt that may offend.

...The Marshall Mathers LP Genre - Hip Hop / Rap The title of the album derives from Eminem's real name, Marshall Mathers. Eminem's second major album is absolutely incredible: Who would have thought that it would be even better than his previous album, the fantastic Slim Shady LP! Another gritty and sometimes very dark album that it certainly delves deeply into Eminem's personal life. Fantastic, intelligent lyrics and great beats from Dr Dre make this album a must have. The record hit the number 1 spot on many album charts all around the world: It sold 1,760,049 copies in its' first week of release, which made it the fastest selling rap album in history. The album isn't for the light-hearted and may offend some listeners. It is certainly controversial, with references to drugs and murder along with attacks on celebrities such...

Review of Sony MDR-E 818 LP

MARSHALL MATHERS LP

Advantages: Eminems amazing lyrical skills
Disadvantages: A few weak songs

...After the "Slim Shady LP" propelled Eminem into the limelight with contreversial lyrics and bad language, comes Eminems second album "Marshall MathersLP". Another slice of contreversey perhaps, but a great album by a lyrical genius definitely. "This is another Public Service Announce ment brought to you in part by Slim Shady. Slim Shady does not give a f**k what you think..." The scene is set by the intro. A disclaimer? Well maybe not, but it tells you stright that Eminem doesn't care if you like him or not. Don't like Eminem? Then the first track is a message to you. "Kill You" sticks a finger up to all of his critics over a great beat and a catchy tune. Everyone knows the next track "Stan". A hit in the UK, this track has an amazing hook sung by our own Dido. In this track Eminem describes a situation where an obsessed fan...

Watch the Sony MDRED21LP

Advantages: good sound quality and very cheap
Disadvantages: will not last forever

...The Sony MDRED21LP which i am still using is one of the cheapest headphones you can get now our days with such high quality best in-ear sounds it provides. When am using the Sony MDRED21LP, the bass and tweeters i get in my ears are so good that it can be compared to being in an underground club and dancing when you feel already tipsy. You can imagine what i mean. The stereo type music is so sift that you can hear every instrument that was used in the music you are playing and what intervals they were used. If you are a music fan, this is what you will need to end your search for headphones. The sound changes to the better as more as you push the headphones deep into the ears. The hydrid design of the headphones makes it sits in your ears. With the music in your ears, you can still talk to people outside by just turning down the volume...
