This week the guys help Jim buy his first SSD. They talk in depth about the characteristics and inner workings of SSDs while trying to help Jim get the best bang for the buck. Though it’s an excellent choice, you might be surprised to see what Jim finally settles on.
Mushkin Callisto 120GB SSD Install and Performance Specs
Jan 21st
So last weekend I put and Mushkin Enhanced Chronos (MKNSSDCR120GB) 120GB SSD ($150) in my personal PC here at home and saw some amazing results. I posted about it here. Later that weekend, I was talking to the Worship Guy at our church and he had seen the post as ask if I thought an SSD drive could speed up the PC the church uses for video production. It is a Dell XPS 630i with (Core 2 Duo Quad Core, E8200, 2.66, 6MB Wolfdale, 65W) but came into our hands with a 500GB OS spinning drive and just 3GB of RAM. Of course my answer was YES and how fast can we get one in! He smiled.

Mushkin Chronos 120GB SSD Install and Performance Specs
Jan 14th
I recently purchased a Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR120GB 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) from Newegg. It can be found here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226236
I purchased it to replace a Western Digital 1 TB WD10EACS Green Drive that will be moved into my storage pool on the Window Home Server (where it belonged in the first place). It was also a bit slow at times. See the stats below:
Did You Miss CES 2012 in Las Vegas this Year? No Worries, 45 Videos Has You Covered!
Jan 12th

Over the last two years I have made the trip out to CES to cover the show with my friends from the Home Server Show. This year I opted to stay home, take a few hours off from work and help Dave McCabe cover the show from the comforts of the Average Guy studio! It ended up being a good call! Together, Dave and I produced almost 45 Videos that cover CES 2012 across 5 days and hundreds of products. Most of the videos are less than 15 minutes in length and are a quick watch. I few cover more content and are a bit longer. If you are a tech guy or gal, I am sure you will find them entertaining.
