    PC Peripherals which one b/w hp 2050 v/s canon mp287 v/s epson tx121

    Dont generalise by brands but instead use models. The Canon MP287 uses 2 tanks of black + colour.. not individual colour tanks. And HP also has models that use individual colour tanks.. some with upto 5 colour tanks. Both canon and hp reserve individual tanks for more costly models. In the...

    Storage Solutions Need fastest internal HDD 1TB above

    He is correct. With RAID 1 mirrored data, you can read data from both disks in parallel and increase throughput. Only write speeds won't improve. 100khz only needs to load sound files quickly, so read performance will suit him. This guy makes all his recommendations based on gaming! In this...

    CPU/Mobo Which motherboard and SSD to buy for Intel G620

    Any SSD is a good upgrade. Just that there are SSDs which cut corners to be cheap, when saving a bit more tends to give you a more well rounded SSD which will still be good value for money, eg - crucial m4, intel 320 (if the firmware is up to date). I wouldn't recommend a crippled H61 chipset...

    Storage Solutions Need fastest internal HDD 1TB above

    USB 2.0 is obviously your bottleneck. You can only get faster speeds from your goflex drive by opening it and connecting it directly to a SATA port. Your warranty will be void of course. Hard disk reliability is like looking at a magic crystal ball! Nobody can recommend either WD or Seagate...

    Monitors Help me choose new monitor

    You can try peeling off the anti glare layer without peeling off the polarizer. I haven't seen any eIPS panels for demo. You might need to find a member nearby. You have a 30 day return option with Dell if i remember right. Check and see. You could use that time to get to know the monitor and...

    Storage Solutions WD Blue hard disk performance and health issue

    Your transfer speed charts show sudden big drops in speed which indicates a problem. Is the disk and CPU free during the testing? Try another SATA cable. Check SMART parameters. HDTune's Health tab should report SMART statistics. Does your motherboard support SATA III? Your drive wont...

    The WD Green drives do not actually have a variable spin speed. Most likely runs at a similar 5900rpm speed as the Seagate Green.

    Monitors Help me choose new monitor

    8 bit P-MVA.. VX2025wm? If the backlight is dying, try replacing it. You might not notice the effects of 6 bit + AFRC. 6 bit IPS panels will not suffer from contrast and tonal shifts like TN panels. Even VA panels suffer from tonal shifts. Your bigger concern with e-IPS will be backlight bleed.

    Monitors monitor dark on the left side (L2461x)

    The left half of your backlight is dead. Getting a replacement backlight will be difficult. The backlight is tightly integrated with the LCD panel, so you also need someone capable of disassembling the delicate LCD panel and fixing it. Ask Lenovo India if they will be willing to repair it...

    CPU/Mobo Which motherboard and SSD to buy for Intel G620

    Force 3 uses async NAND which is slow and doesn't meet its advertised speeds. There aren't many options at your budget. Should have saved up for a better SSD. I humbly disagree. The only place SATA III will make a difference is in sustained sequential speeds. In real life, SSDs are faster...

    PC Peripherals Can the printer still print?

    Agree with the post above. Your cartridge will have clogged heads by now. Your printer should work fine, assuming the drive belts are in good shape. Getting new cartridges will be the problem, and in some cases not worth the price. Which printer is it?
