So yea... My muscles are aching... And well! The week has been pretty busy. But I don't really have much to talk to this week. I've assembled 2 computers this week and I also got my 2 2TB Seagate Cosntellation drive, dual bay RAID drive and a USB 3.0 portable hard disk drive enclosure. Oh! My USB 3.0 Desktop adapter for my Seagate external hard drive as well! All works pretty well! So yea... Pictures!

Hard drives loaded up!
The picture on the box looks big, but in actual fact, not a lot bigger than the original case

Loaded into the new enclosure!
What can I say? I spent a lot of moolah! I feel so sad... But at least these stuff will last me for quite a while! USB 3.0 is super fast! Except for some reason, when I use on mine, during the last 5 secs, it will load for awhile before ending, unlike USB 2.0. Which is weird but acceptable since overall process is still faster than USB 2.0.
I've thought long and hard and decided, its not time to buy SSDs yet. For the amount of storage and price, I personally find that SSDs are just not economical despite the performance it gives, patience is a virtue. I'll wait for SSDs to have bigger storage at a lower cost. Hybrid drives are not stable at the moment, a lot of complaints about the Seagate Momentus XT so I'm sticking to the good ole sturdy magnetic hard disk drives! So yea! Hoping the price will drop soon!
Next year in January, will be the final time I'm buying stuff from USA, things that I want, unless its absolutely necessary like shirt, pants, whatever. The last thing I'm buying will be a pair of boots by Bates. Why? I'm saving money for my driver's license, Nikkor 70-200mm and to take up courses in 2013 as well as for my private diploma in IT at Kaplan. I can't wait to finish serving my national service! Oh! I'm buying lightstands as well since my fellow NSf is going to the states next year =D
That's all for now, good night world!
P.S: I'm going to invest in a Flickr pro account next year for 2 years, anyone wanna get that for my christmas present? I'll be extremely happy! =D
