2.5 Terabytes For Now

hdd1

This is four stack of hard disk I have with tons of japanese animation, software, tv series and movies. The past few years price of per Gigabyte constantly drop which getting higher capacity hard disk is more affordable. Till now I have 2.5 Terabyte of SATA external storage space which not added yet on my desktop~

hdd4

I was more hoping to purchase 32MB cache but as always the demand for that model always ran out of stock yet I'm fine with 16MB cache as I'm more focus on storage capacity and performance is second priority.

Here is a simple list of storage space conversion:
1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes
1 Terabyte = 1048576 Megabytes
1 Terabyte = 1073741824 Kilobytes
1 Terabyte = 1099511627776 Bytes

And here is a conversion which in the near future we might going to reach:
1 Exabyte = 1048576 Terabytes
1 Exabyte = 1024 Petabytes
1 Exabyte = 0.000976563 Zettabytes

To makes things simple:
Byte > Kilobyte > Megabyte > Gigabyte > Terabyte > Petabyte > Exabyte > Zettabyte

Sarotech HardBox FHD-354US2, The box I use to transfer almost all my SATA hard disk which this model is fully advance aluminum for good heat dispersion and eSATA supported for high speed data transfer.

Shure SCL2-K

I have this in-earphones before I purchase Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro and few days back only I got back this headset due to the right driver issues that doesn't come out any sound. Took them three month and I just had to go ask them again about my headset and ended up and finally they give me a new one. Since I got this in-earphones quite a while so I just post out what I have right now.

Accessories
-Orange Foam Sleeves (3 Different sizes)
-Clear Flex Sleeves (3 Different sizes)
-Black Soft Flex Sleeves (3 Different sizes)
-Wax Guards
-Carrying Case

Shure does provide a good set of ear tips to use and Wax Guard which its glue on the in-earphones to prevent dirt or ear wax from getting in the in-earphones. Shure produce an entry level product in the market which its one of the most affordable in all Shure in-earphones. Basically for an entry level product it does provide a good level of isolation and sound quality with its single dyniamic microdrivers which produce full sonic range and resonant bass.
Personally I lost a little confidence on this product as I barely use it for three months and its defected which causes me to wait for whole three month for warranty but good thing they replace a new one for me.

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro

~Ultimate Ears 10 Pro for Serious Audiophiles~

Nothing more I can explain on this product more than saying "WOW~!!!!! Superb!!!! Oh~ Sorry I can't hear ya?!?!?". I just found out that Ultimate Ears is a Logitech company so I'm expecting Logitech will come out their own version of Ultimate Ears patent design and product quality. Many celebrities and artists uses this product which really made this one really premium product and really high markup price for its brand.

For those who is a audiophiles, they might know this product and would mostly give comment on it that its really expensive and yes I totally agree but I think I'm on of the handful person in Malaysia to have it. Basically this product cost USD 415.00 (Yes! Very close to RM 1400.00) due to its superior design, quality and excellent sound isolation. Some might not understand and some don't know the difference with a RM25.00 in-ear headset with RM1400.00 bombastic in-ear headset but for me I feel satisfied enough as I do notice the difference and I doubt any other in-ear headset could satisfy me more unless I purchase the Ultimate Ears Custom Series.

The closest experience to custom personal monitors available.

The triple.fi 10 Pro is the sonic equivalent of sitting in the world’s best recording studios. Imagine your favorite artists performing a private concert just for you.

The triple.fi 10 Pro has the same sonic signature as our custom personal monitors. It is the perfect backup set for touring musicians or for consumers who demand the best-of-the-best.

This is one superb Compact Metallic Travel Case with the 'UE' engraving on it. Yet its best to place the headset only which not including the extension

ue5

Universal Fit Eartip Kit, Basically I use the medium size silicone eartips

ue4

Middle: 1.4" Adapter Jack, use with professional home stereo equipment
Left: Sound Level Attenuator, Lowers the overall volume levels for noisy sound sources
Right: Cleaning Tool, Easy cleaning tool

This is what I like the most, what you see here is the in-ear headset without the wiring (I didn't do anything stupid to cut the wiring off) as I can replace the wiring rather than changing the entire headset. I find most problem of replacing a new headset is not because of the headset spoil but more of the wiring connected to the headset got loose or cut off. At least now I don't have to worry about my wiring since its replaceable (With a USD 20 of course).

This is the photo of the cable connector plug out from my Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro

Overall I feel like my cash flow been suck out badly due to a single in-ear headset but after using it, I ever doubt that I can get used to use normal in-ear headset and it's quite a worthy investment since I'm particular in the overall sound quality I hear and also real good sound isolation.

Our iPod Touch

Haven't got the time to compile my recent updates but here is some photos I found in my phone while I did some digital clean up. As shown on the photo here, is three iPod Touch which belong to my sister on the far right, middle is mine and far right is my girlfriend. Photo taken that time iTouch was in version 1.1.4 which has JailBreak supported and my iTouch was the only one installed. That time I was still new and exploring on the functionality and the wonders iTouch can do.

Till now, the iTouch we have still brings us entertainment on the move and personally if you ask me on getting iPhone, I would just say it's truly a waste on investment with the reason listed below:
  • Costly, due to its low phone functionality with a premium price
  • Average load speaker
  • It's a 3G phone or should I say 3G connectivity phone which mean it's not a 3G phone that allow you to do video conferencing
  • iPhone is better than pda phone (Can't remember who said that but my opinion "Don't even compare man")
  • iPhone is selling cheaper now but of course *Term & Conditions Apply* and you basically have to pay your bill in Singapore Dollar if you want to get it legally
  • A number more which I not adding if not iPhone user will come looking for me to debate

Back to iTouch, I just enjoy watching TV series (if I have the time...), listening to my favourite music, play games (still trying to spent time to get all those games...) and try out interesting applications. Oh~ forget to add the Accelerometer which can turn ur iTouch any way you want and possible to swing and smash it on the wall if you give a 7 years old to play it~

There is news saying that there will be new iTouch design to be release which I don't know as it's still a rumors but as usual~ expect constant updates and changes in technology. My advice, once purchase... DON'T WHINE about it~!

v4_1It has been a while since i got this phone and for your information this model is not DOPOD P800W but HTC P3300. Even its same in term of its design and specification but surely i can tell that the quality is different and mine is not market for Asia.

Basically i got this phone thanks to my sister after winning a tournament. Basically she don’t want to use it as she is planning to get another one which i completely have no idea which one but surely not this. So I’m the owner of this HTC P3300 and it surely took a while to flash the ROM from French to WWE (World Wide English) ROM. Initially this phone is set for Mobile 5 but i always have the habit to check for new updates and found out Mobile 6 already release and the good part is that the official ROM for my phone is already out. So i start on ROM flashing and i got the latest ROM on my phone but… still it wasn’t enough for me.

I continue to search and since I’m a little more experience on flashing custom ROM, I manage to find PDAVIET Rom Black & Blue Edition which surprisingly this guy manage to extract out HTC TouchFlo technology and incorporate it to my pda phone which its code name Artemis. Somehow this ROM have some bugs but sooner or later Tom the person who developed this ROM will get it fixed.

About this phone, what i enjoy the most is the GPS system which i manage to get MapKing and been playing around with it while i travel to few places. Besides that the scroll wheal is useful, camera somehow a little blurry while the finishing touch of the phone durability is better than average. Not forgetting the phone loud speaker is seriously load and the clarity of the speaker while talking on the phone is seriously clear so this is what i truly enjoy this phone.

There is a lot more features i haven’t really try but i got all the time i have to try it out. Cheers!

My O2 XDA II Mini

o2miniFinally i got a phone that i can really mess around with which is O2 XDA II Mini!!! As a first time user honestly it’s not easy to get used to due to its function and mostly the hardest part is when trying to set the ring tones, write sms or mms and many more but still its worth it as i manage to fully utilize most of the function and also experiment around with overclocking and customize the theme and also working out creating custom mp3 ringtones. The hardest part to customize is the template during incoming call as the file is related to Mac operating system so i might need help from Mac user to design or show me how its done in order to settle my design… But for now at least i don’t have anymore reason to change a new phone for a long time hehehe~
