All Agility Series SSD  drives come backed a three year warranty and OCZ's legendary service  and support. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7042571475968243473-498922939911373523?l=oofnivek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/feeds/498922939911373523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/2012/01/ocz-agility-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7042571475968243473/posts/default/498922939911373523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7042571475968243473/posts/default/498922939911373523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/2012/01/ocz-agility-2.html' title='OCZ Agility 2'/><author><name>Kevin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042571475968243473.post-7547407405510510036</id><published>2012-01-25T15:48:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-25T15:52:41.276+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SSD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Corsair'/><title type='text'>Corsair Force Series GT</title><content type='html'>&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=B005ACIYXI&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=B0057QETGS&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=B005JRH9WQ&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=B005IZ4IRS&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Built for speed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;You probably already know that solid-state drives are fast. With up  to 85,000 IOPS and read speeds of up to 555MB/s, Force Series GT is on  another level. Whether you're building the ultimate gaming PC, a monster  of a video or photo editing workstation, or you simply crave serious  solid state storage performance, this is the SSD you want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Real-world performance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;All the impressive performance numbers translate to this: disk  operations &lt;em&gt;up to four times  faster &lt;/em&gt;than  the fastest mechanical hard drives. Starting up your PC,  launching  applications, loading and saving large files and documents, and just   about everything else you do with your PC is faster when you remove the   bottleneck of old-fashioned hard drives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The Force Series GT is particularly adept at moving compressed  data.  You'll appreciate this real-world benefit if you work with music, movie   and graphics files.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Compatible with SATA 2 3Gb/s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? Like all Corsair components, Force   Series GT SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades.

Pro Nuts are also a great value as they  cover a similar range with  seven sizes as nine sizes take in other  brands (this also helps to reduce  overall rack weight). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7042571475968243473-2890688089923528723?l=oofnivek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/feeds/2890688089923528723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/2012/01/camp-pro-nuts.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7042571475968243473/posts/default/2890688089923528723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7042571475968243473/posts/default/2890688089923528723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/2012/01/camp-pro-nuts.html' title='CAMP Pro Nuts'/><author><name>Kevin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042571475968243473.post-6846765311733310641</id><published>2012-01-18T15:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T15:52:20.381+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Black Diamond'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rock Climbing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trad Climbing'/><title type='text'>Black Diamond Camalot</title><content type='html'>&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B002LB2PE0&amp;amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B004A1WILO&amp;amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B004A1YF9M&amp;amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=kevsblo-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B0031KI2E2&amp;amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The gold standard for camming units, the Camalots’ double-axle design  allows retraction of larger cam lobes, giving them a much larger  expansion range than traditional single-axle units.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;

The GRIGRI 2 works equally well for lead climbing and top roping. It may be used on all single dynamic 8.9 to 11 mm ropes on the market (ideal at 9.4 mm to 10.3 mm). Both compact and ultra-light, the GRIGRI 2 will accompany you on climbs around the world for many years. The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Belay technique identical to classic belay systems: both hands on  the rope. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of  the rope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Assisted braking capability: during fall arrest, the belayer holds  the free end of the rope, the cam pivots and pinches the rope,  increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during  the descent. One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to  unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release  of the rope. In combination with the strong braking action of the cam,  it gives a great feeling of control when lowering a partner or  rappelling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The GRIGRI 2 is compact and ultra-light at 185 g (25 % smaller and 20 % lighter than the GRIGRI)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The construction includes a stainless steel friction plate and cam to ensure a long life for the product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;For 8.9 to 11 mm single ropes (ideal at 9.4 to 10.3 mm)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Diagrams for rope installation engraved on belay device (interior and exterior)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7042571475968243473-8807729779051305848?l=oofnivek.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/feeds/8807729779051305848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/2012/01/grigri-2-belay-device-with-assisted.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7042571475968243473/posts/default/8807729779051305848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7042571475968243473/posts/default/8807729779051305848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oofnivek.blogspot.com/2012/01/grigri-2-belay-device-with-assisted.html' title='Petzl GRIGRI 2'/><author><name>Kevin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
