Sorry for the delay - been having a bad day - but it ended well but enough about me.

Well the midweek stats break has stan still as top dog
But KE1HA, Biffa, piggott, vertica, Happy and Team MS have all pull out the big guns

On the flip side some major drops too - you know who you are slackers

But overall the team has really made a major push this week.
The EOC graphs are rising instead of the peak and valley of the last few weeks.
And our average team PPD is on the rise.

Nice to see a few old faces rejointing - great first week verbal!
(and sorry to see a few leave) hope you all can stick around.

And finally a big welcome to all the new members

Got two samsung 32gb slc's this christmas - the quiet is great - the speed is ok but they are not in RAID yet

If it's under £2 a GB you are going well - intel still is the best (makes great boot drives due to random read/writes)
But programs/data are better on a Indilinx based drive. V high write speeds

intels wear leveling is 5-80x better than the compertition.
if you don't have a intel or a SLC drive it is an issue
But then 2 years is a long time in performance hardware - just look at where raptors were two years ago.

X times faster/quieter/lower power that a v-raptor
