Lol, DX11 videos, yeah...

As he says, not all CD players are made equally. If you have ever listened to much music on CD, you will have heard what happens when discs can be read but not properly. If you are fairly young then you might have little experience with actual CD's though. In any case, it's very obvious to me when a CD player has to interpolate data.

Don't forget he is changing the cables in a DIFFERENT PHYSICAL BOX than all of the later analog domain stuff. There really isnt any way that any electronic field that can/may be emitted from the SATA cables will have any effect on the analog components later down the line. Due to his testing method he physically eliminated that possibility. If it was all in the same box, I would say yeah maybe this could have an effect, but the carrier frequency of even SATA 1 is 1.5Ghz, WAY WAY WAY beyond audible range. If there is a source of RF noise infecting the analog part of the circuit, it's coming from something else.

When you have uncorrectable errors on an audio cd, you do NOT get 'subtle' changes, you get very nasty sounding pops, clicks, and things that clearly indicate that there is a problem. It's not a matter of one sounding better than the other, it's a matter of one working and the other not.

Even SATA 1 uses a 1.5Ghz carrier signal. That's NOT going to affect your audio. Frequently, however, there are other sources of crosstalk which can infect the audio, but the solution to that is a better or external sound card.

When you use a phone that supports UMA and have TMOBILE you can do this. For example, on my blackberry I can disable the mobile network, and have ONLY the wifi enabled, yet still place calls and send/receive text messages. Look up UMA. Cool stuff. Doesn't cost anything extra either.

Still is a terribly slow processor.

Warranty replacement should still count as the lifetime of the device. I think that they are being rather cheap about it there. Say you had a lifetime transmission warranty but the transmission went out, well guess what it's lifetime is over and now it wont be replaced. Would you like to have that happen to you?

Hrmm, lets see, 10 years ago you should have been able to get a 600Mhz p3. So, yeah, a 60Mhz PPC IS terribly slow.

It's the same RAM chips, but there are just 9 chips on each stick, instead of 8 (or 18 instead of 16). It works just like raid 5.

No, the very easrly versions actually have more ram & flash than the GL version. I have a v2.0 at home and it has 8MB of flash and 32MB of ram. I believe the GL only has 4MB of flash and 16MB of ram.

I believe that they were referring to the fact that initially 10K disks were only available in an enterprize SCSI platform, where as now you can get a 10k drive in SATA flavor, not that SATA has replaced SCSI.

that they are using an ancient system to do the tests? I wouldn't be surprised if the system itself is a limiting factor with some of the SSDs. Crazy.
