"More hard drive space, it's what we all need. File storage, backups, and programs eat up tons drive space. External drives are perfect for backing up data and storing files like MP3s. They are quick to install and portable from computer to computer."

"All in all, the new Samsung SpinPoint SP1614 drives performed admirably well in all of our tests although it is not the fastest drive we've seen to date. Surprisingly, the ATA-133 version (the SP1614N) performed slightly better than the SATA version (SP1614C) although both drives share the same specifications and even the IC controller..."

"No I am not joking the first thing that takes you is how small this block is. Then you start to look at it and you really do begin to become captivated. The block itself is strange in shape.

"Whether or not you believe that this chip was announced purely to rain on AMD’s parade is irrelevant. What matters here is that Intel has created a very fast CPU and consequently hasn’t been left behind by its competitor. Unfortunately the price of the Extreme Edition is quite simply too prohibitive for the vast majority of PC users, no matter how obsessed with games they might be...."
