Am I a bad person for preferring OSX over Windows 7?

OSX isn't really a bad OS, although I'd personally still prefer w7 over OSX.

**SGTNAPALM** · 22nd February 2012

I've never even really used OSX so I have no opinions on it. If macs weren't so damn expensive I'd have bought one by now to try it.

**Brt5470** · 22nd February 2012

The 3TB drives are back instock at amazon for 199 each.

Oh my god, should I do it? buy 4 of them?

SHOULD I

**Protocol7** · 22nd February 2012

not before I buy them all

muahahahaha

I've been using it in a VM so far, I don't think I'd willingly buy Apple hardware unless I had a load of money to spare though.

**Brt5470** · 22nd February 2012

66$ per terabyte for single TB platters, 64mb Cache, 7,200RPM.

tratzzz · 22nd February 2012

Before you paid ~40$ for a terabyte drive.

Seems to be a good enough deal, get it! But I would not get four of the, but yeah, I do not know your financial state so....

Fuck it, get them!

DO IT

HELL, BUY SIX!

If I had the money, I suppose a top of the line Mac pro would make a good door stop (I could get rid of my spectrum then!)

I want RAID 0 performance and then mirroring. So Raid 10. hence 4 of em. I paid 80 for my WD 2TB greens. So yes, about 20 bucks more per TB, but also those drives were much slower and much higher fail rate. So I don't see it as much of a difference.

Buy them all.

I just realize my brother only has 160gb of storage on his PC.

That's what happens when you build a PC using a majority of old parts.

What's the minimum amount of storage you would accept?

**Makol** · 22nd February 2012

Smallest hard drive I've personally owned was a 500gb that I still use now, but if you count SSDs it'd be 120gb.

**Brt5470** · 22nd February 2012

Fuck this is a lot of money. I need to get a credit card to build credit.

I think the current hard drive I have is 300gb.

I only got a credit card to build credit using Newegg purchases when I built my current rig and bought parts for my brother's rig.

How do you live?

I have a ~300GB Windows partition.

Difficultly.

Seems like Engadget has one of the first reviews on the Razer Blade.

I have about 14GB left on my 500GB hard drive. Sometimes it even drops below 1GB.

[EG] Pepper · 22nd February 2012

I can easily live on 160GB

But that's because i have my 6TB server

60gb SSD and 143gb HDD, I'm officially worse off than Makol, where do I sign up for the free case?

**Brt5470** · 22nd February 2012

Did I ever tell you guys that one of the guys who works here was diagnosed with cancer and was told he has 3 months to live.

That happened in august. And he's still working here. No idea why. I just thought of it because he submitted a support ticket to add some Vlans.

I like being charitable, but I'm going to have to stop or slow down with it.

**Makol** · 22nd February 2012

This reminds me. I have a spare 750watt Antec PSU sitting in my closet.

same model as the one that DID explode

Maybe because he is still alive?

My arts teacher has/had cancer. She has been wearing that wig for around a year now I guess.

**Brt5470** · 22nd February 2012

/r/hardware are assholes. I post a question asking what people thought of a four drive raid, and within 5 minutes I get 2 downvotes bringing my post to negative karma.

**Makol** · 22nd February 2012

That's why I don't go to those places, people are either assholes or pretty stupid most of the time.

**Brt5470** · 22nd February 2012

I normally go to /r/hardware for posting stuff because USUALLY they are people who aren't children and want to talk about comp hardware.

Alright well, from this point on, I see nothing I even really want to buy anymore. Watercooling would be nice but that's only for even quieter stuff. I want you guys to stop me from buying more shit.

KaY!@?
