Plextor M3 Pro 128GB (PX-128M3P) Solid State Drive Review
Final Thoughts
The Plextor M3 Pro 128GB is just full of surprises. If you are starting to get excited about this release, but have a little more coin to spend on a larger model we've already published performance benchmarks in our 24nm Flash Face Off article last week. Our full review of the 256GB M3 Pro will hit the site in a couple of days. While finishing this article Plextor released a new firmware update for the M3 Pro drives so we're going to go back into the Secret Bunker testing facility for some one-on-one time. We'll publish the updated results in the full M3 Pro 256GB review, so stay tuned.
In the introduction we talked about how Plextor is emerging as the big Marvell controller based SSD manufacturer - only time will tell if this is just a situation where luck played a big role or if Plextor is going to stay on top of the hill. Plextor certainly knows how to play the role of being the best on the market. Their innovative thinking made Plextor the leader for enthusiasts for several years in the optical reader market. Solid state drives, at least in the consumer space are headed to the same commodity product status within the next three to five years. That means the focus on speed and truly innovative features will slow while companies turn their attention to price reductions. Hopefully this time around Plextor does not slow development and presses on with their instincts to push the envelope of performance. Just to elaborate before you may get the wrong idea. Anyone looking for the highest quality optical drive should still look no further than Plextor; just the really remarkable breakthroughs like bit-to-bit disk duplication are few and far between these days.
Getting back on track. Plextor has managed to use that performance instinct to take the Marvell controller to heights we never thought we'd see. The ground gained in just the last year on the SandForce controllers is remarkable. I never thought I'd see a Marvell based drive using a variant of the same controller released two years ago on the Crucial C300 rut tit-for-tat with a SandForce based drive in enterprise tests.
The same can be said in the consumer day-to-day tests when the drives are filled to 50% capacity. The Crucial m4, another Marvell based drive took a real beating when compared to the SF-2200 series drives, yet somehow Plextor was able to make up ground there as well.
If there is any fault with the Plextor M3 Pro 128GB at this time, it is the price. The dual DDR3 cache doesn't help in keeping the cost down, but this is still the new kid on the block too. Over time the new to market pricing will wear off and we'll see a reduction. Hopefully Plextor will be able to compete on the price front with the SandForce drives just like it does on the performance side.
Given that the Plextor M3 Pro manages to keep pace with the Vertex 3 120GB at 50% fill and manages to outperform most if not all of the SF-2281 controlled drives in the file transfer tests, I'd say this is quite possibly the fastest 120/128GB drive available on the market today. We've yet to see the SanDisk Extreme 120GB, but that will come. Can you ask for 24nm Flash Face Off II? We're working on it, but until then the Plextor M3 Pro 128GB has my respect and endorsement.

IBM reports higher profit despite lower revenue
Raises forecasts
ENTERPRISE COMPUTING GIANT IBM managed to increase its second quarter profit by six per cent despite seeing revenue fall by three per cent.
IBM's recession busting performance over the past four years showed little sign of easing up, with the firm once again posting steady financials that suggest the firm is cutting inefficiencies. IBM announced second quarter revenue of $25.8bn, down three per cent, while profit rose by six per cent to $3.9bn.
IBM's traditional mainframe business saw an eight per cent decline in revenue and Big Blue's overall hardware business rang up $4.3bn in second quarter revenue, down nine per cent from the year previously.
Ginni Rometty, IBM president and CEO said, "In the second quarter, we delivered strong profit, earnings per share and free cash flow growth. This performance reflects continued strength in our growth initiatives and investments in higher value opportunities. These are fundamental elements of our long-term business model. Looking ahead, we are well positioned to deliver greater value to a wider range of clients and to our shareholders."
IBM, much like Intel, is seen as a bellwether information technology company, but unlike Intel it raised its full-year 2012 diluted earnings per share forecast. Since IBM's shares aren't traded for a quick buck its earnings per share figure is perhaps the most important number for investors. µ

Holocaust was God's punishment for Jews claims Muslim leader
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Meeting people you disagree with on some things? Ok, but this guy loves to hate other people and thinks it's ok to kill them because of it. No sane politician should get too close to these 'spiritual' leaders.
This al-Qaradawi guy is sick, political figures in Britain shouldn't feel the need to pander to people who preach violence and incite hatred. It's a good idea for mayors to meet with people of all faith groups, but not those individuals who hold such dangerous views. The same can be said of the Pope who, whilst only slightly less bigoted, gets undeserved invitations.
this man's been pandered to for too long. f**kwittery such as this no longer deserves a listening to. kick the ass out of here.
Stupidity and hate dripping out of an insane mouth seems to be the operative methodology of those Muslims who feel they have the right of life and death over others.
You don't; you are a sterile fool if you do. Learn to love others; rather than bathing in your insane hate filled emotions.
Teddybear anyone? No? So after looking at the photo I was wondering if he lost his mind from a really bad fall on his head, or is it just that he was a complete ranting raving delusional gobshite anyway? At least he demonstrates for everyone who hasn't had a really bang on the head, that Islam, as religions go, is right up there in the mad, bad, and dangerous to know section writhing on the floor, foaming at the mouth with the Christian, Hindu, etc, fundamentalists.
you cant judge a whole lot of people because of one person, damn racist idiot
im not sayin this guy is right but it doesn't mean every muslim thinks like that
this guy incites to killing should be put to trial for this
it is illegal and cna lead to deaths . imagine if i said we should kill all muslims ! how would that go down . i am for peace and non vilence but this guy should be jailed for his words .
stop religions stop religious lies
there is no gods
You can't have religion without fundamentalists.
However I have never heard of Jew speaking a load of hate. It's only the others that do.
al-Qaradawi and his ilk are simply letting us see the REAL face of the Arab imperialist terrorist cult known to some as "the religion of Peace".
A sensible person only needs to read the Koran once to figure out the likely consequences of actually believing its hateful contents.
As for Andrew's fond notion of no hateful Jews, well, while Jewish tradition – in the broadest sense – HAS produced many great & admirable persons of truly humane, tolerant & progressive values, familiarity with the contents of the Hebrew Bible & parts of the Talmud leave one in no doubt about where the fundamentalist Zionist Israeli settlers get some of their violently ethnocentric sense of entitlement from.
Historically, of course, Christianity may be responsible for the largest "body-count" of all, though lately Islam seems Hell-bent on playing catchup as quickly as possible.
Do you think perhaps this carnage just might be SOMETHING to do with the violent, interventionist god-characters of the Bible & the Koran?
It doesn't help that the media make such a palaver every time one of these F*ing idiots opens their mouth, if the media stopped repeating their hate filled rubbish every five minutes they wouldn't have half the audience they get.
what is it with the jews and the gays ????
always getting kicked in !!!
I suppose they are both – two strong communities and successfull !!
I think for the kind of view that Muslims like Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi holds, Allah has given his divine punishment by creating the state of Israel bang in the middle of what was Muslim lands for a thousand years…
The Torah states clearly that if Jews do not follow Jewish Law (which include killing gay men)then the G-d of Israel will send a nation of people to torture and persecute the Jews. This is JEWISH doctrine. Israel should not be a democracy, it is only the Muslims that have the integrity enough to know this.
I am so sick of religious warmongerers! Who gives a TOSS about all this stuff when people and the planet are dying in front of us??
Man can be incredibly selfish, especially extreme religious ones. Surely no 'god' would intend any harm to another human being? End of.
Actually its not PC but quite a few Rabbis have said much the same thing
"Israel should not be a democracy, it is only the Muslims that have the integrity enough to know this."
Of course anti-semites will bring Israel into a wholly unrelated article. FYI: 1. there has never, in all the thousands of years since that passage has been in the Bible, been an case of someone who was in fact executed, ask any Rabbi, Orthodox (conservative) or Liberal. 2. Israel recognises same-sex marriages performed outside of Israel and allows its queer soldiers to serve openly and without any discrimination.

Any luck with QNAP 419P II?
Feb 23, 2013
I picked one up last week and it has been a tremendous exercise in frustration setting it up and getting it to work. I spent over an hour yesterday on the phone with their customer service and finally got it up as a Raid 5 on 3 drives. I copied some files onto it after it finally synchronized as a test. Then It went into "degraded" mode claiming a read/write error. I powered it down as I was doing some electrical work in the house and now that it is powered back up, QNAP Finder does not detect it and I can't get to it though the Safari link anymore either.
I find their documentation and instructions quite poor.
Any thoughts on how to sort this out would be appreciated. I am planning on calling QNAP back as well.

Cocoa beans, from the fruit of the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao L.), are transformed into chocolate and other cocoa products by a complex process involving fermentation, drying and roasting. Fermentation is carried out by different methods in the countries of origin, and represents a crucial stage in the development of the aromatic precursors and bioactive compounds characteristic of chocolate and cocoa products. Proteins are the cocoa fraction that undergoes the most intensive modification during fermentation, where microbiological and enzymatic reactions lead to extensive breakdown of cocoa seed proteins, yielding peptides and amino acids which are the important flavour precursors

Mark Ingram says he's not concerned about making his third season the first one in which he lives up to his Heisman Trophy hype, but he does intend to be a much greater factor in the New Orleans Saints' offense, whether that shows up in the statistics or not.
"Everyone has expectations all the time," Ingram said. "It's not about living up to what other people expect you to do. It's about being a great teammate, improving every day and being the best football player you can be to help your team win games and ultimately win a championship."
As the only Heisman winner in Alabama's illustrious history and one of two first-round picks by the Saints in 2011, Ingram has spent the past two years in a state full of LSU fans who were eager to enjoy the days when the former Crimson Tide star's success no longer came at their expense.
Based on fan comments on radio talk shows or in Internet chat rooms, many of those fans feel like they're still waiting for Ingram to validate the Saints' decision to trade a 2012 first-round pick to acquire him. Ingram has averaged 3.9 yards per carry over the past two seasons. He played 10 games as a rookie and rushed for 474 yards and five touchdowns. Last season, he ran for 602 yards and five touchdowns.
"Of course, I have high expectations for myself as far as individual things," Ingram said. "But my No. 1 thing is just coming out here and showing that I can do anything that is asked of me every single time I set foot on that field and be an explosive player for this offense."
Teammate Pierre Thomas told NOLA.com that Ingram needs to regain the mindset he had with the Crimson Tide.
"Play like you did at Alabama, while acknowledging this is not Alabama," Thomas told the website. "He can't listen to all that nonsense. He's got to block that out."
Hampered by injuries during much of his first two years in the NFL, the 5-foot-9 Ingram said he now is as trim and healthy as he has been since turning pro. He said that his weight is around 215 pounds and his goal is to remain below 220 this season.
"I have finally had a healthy offseason," Ingram said. "My rookie year I missed some games. Last year and [the 2012] offseason, I was just recovering from some offseason surgeries, but I played all 16 games and I finished strong. I'm not frustrated. I can definitely improve in different aspects and things like that, but I am trying to get better."
Saints coach Sean Payton said there were reasons to be patient with Ingram the past two seasons, including his injuries and the fact that the Saints not only pass a lot but also had been splitting carries among four running backs, including Chris Ivory, who was traded to the New York Jets during the 2013 draft.
"Year 3 is important" for Ingram, Payton said. "To his specific case, he's healthier than he's been, and his weight's down. We expect him to play well and have a good season. ... Some guys, it happens right away. The challenge at running back here is sometimes those snaps are being split and it's a little different from" other positions.

Saxo Bank and ICAP Shipping Involved in World's First Electronic Container Freight Swap Settled in USD.
Saxo Bank, the trading and investment specialist, and ICAP Shipping, the shipping arm of ICAP plc, announced on Thursday that they were involved in the execution of the world's first electronic, voice-assisted trade of a container freight swap agreement settled in US dollars. The counterparties to the trade were Saxo Bank in Denmark as the buyer and a Netherlands-based trading house as the seller. ICAP Shipping was the broker of the trade. The container freight swap agreement was executed on ICAP's Webtrader platform, with manual input from ICAP Shipping brokers and cleared by LCH.Clearnet.
The trade was executed by rugby star Lawrence Dallaglio during ICAP's 19th annual Charity Day. On ICAP Charity, all ICAP revenues are donated to a selection of 200 charities and celebrity patrons are invited to help close deals. Mr. Dallaglio attended ICAP Charity Day in support of Cancer Research and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Container freight swap agreements lock in the freight exposure for standard containers transported from Asia to Europe, Mediterranean countries and the United States. Cash flow for this sort of freight exposure has been unpredictable for retailers, importers and logistic companies in the past and the concept of pricing container freight against indices and using swap agreements to manage the risk has attracted many industry participants over the last year. Screen execution with the added surety of voice broker assistance was a key requirement of customers.
Henry Liddell, CEO ICAP Shipping said: "The execution of the world's first electronic container freight swap agreement is an important milestone in the on-going development of the container swaps market. This youngest segment in the shipping industry has seen a rapid growth over the last decade and will become an even more important risk management tool in the current economic environment. Container swaps are a hedging tool for the container industry to manage the price volatility of the physical market." Johan Gade, Freight & OTC Derivatives, Saxo Bank said: "We fully support electronic freight derivatives trading and believe that going forward container swaps will be a valuable addition to the electronic dry bulk and tanker freight derivatives offering we are about to launch."

Purdue student pilots compete in coast-to-coast race
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Two Purdue University students are preparing for a four-day cross-country air race that's for only women.
Seniors Rachel Borsa of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Haley Myers of North Branford, Connecticut, were scheduled to set out Monday morning from the Purdue University Airport in the women-only Air Race Classic.
Borsa was Purdue's co-pilot in last year's event and will serve as pilot this year. Myers led the ground crew last year and is Borsa's co-pilot this year.
A ground crew will monitor weather conditions and help guide the team.
The 2,700-mile Air Race Classic begins in Concord, California, and ends in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania.
The event began in 1929 and traces its origins to women's-only races started by Amelia Earhart and other female pilots who were banned from competing against men.

Strong competition in rentals says Byrne chiefby Stian Overdahl on Jul 23, 2012
Byrne's $4m DIP HQ to be completed by 2013
| Algeco, Byrne win Qatar building rental contract
| Speedy wins $50 million Abu Dhabi ESNAAD contract
RELATED ARTICLES: Speedy wins $50 million Abu Dhabi ESNAAD contract; Algeco, Byrne win Qatar building rental contract; Byrne's $4m DIP HQ to be completed by 2013
The equipment rental market has become increasingly competitive, with more foreign entrants to the market and local companies with excess capacity, says Graeme Clack, chief executive of Byrne Equipment Rental LLC.
Byrne is one of two rental companies that have announced plans for a new offices in the last month, and is building a new $4m, 37,254m2 complex at Dubai Industrial City.
The other, Speedy International, announced a 30,000m² complex in ESNAAD Offshore supply base at Mussafah, preceding a further announcement that it had secured a five year, $50 million rental deal with ESNAAD.
Clack says that the market is also more competitive since clients have become more demanding, with the onus on rental companies to meet their customers' requirements.
While particularly in the UAE there is dormant capacity on machines, rental companies still have an important role to play, especially where companies can't obtain bank financing to buy new equipment, or when lending rates are too high says Clack.
"Byrne offers companies such as these the opportunity to continue to trade, take on projects and deliver solutions of their own.
"In the practical sense our clients get an instant response, [and] equipment is available immediately for delivery to site, we therefore help them cover emergency scenarios or peaks in their demand in a timely and cost effective manner."
As a consequence of the drop off in activity in the construction sector, many companies began to target the oil and gas sector, described by Clack as a 'hot spot'.
UAE-based Al Faris Equipment Rentals, whose cranes are a familiar site on construction sites and jobs across the UAE, is a good example.
While work in the construction industry made up the majority of the work prior to the bust in '09, work in the Oil & Gas sector now makes up more than 50% of the company's business, said operations manager Charles Govias.

Although Turkey took its initial steps toward establishing democracy in 1950, it has thus far failed to become a fully functioning democracy. Using the comparison cases of Spain and Greece, this article discusses two related variables that are likely to have thwarted the development of full democracy in Turkey: the country's experience with authoritarian rule, and the lack of elite settlement or convergence towards acceptance of the democratic rules of the game. The article ultimately contends that despite the EU's attempt to push Turkey towards full democracy in the modern day it is unlikely that it will become a fully functioning democracy unless it manages to achieve civilian elite agreement regarding the rules of the Turkish democratic game, and that Turkey's experience with authoritarian rule may, in turn, have hindered the development of such rules.

KiwiRail has upgraded a West Coast railway level crossing, but there are still 65 crossings in the region only controlled by signs.
There have been fatal accidents at two of those crossings this year.
Jane Sluys, 56, died on January 23 when her car was hit by a coal train at a crossing with Swamp Creek Rd, and Reefton couple Robert James Jacobs, 66, and Marieta Ocba Jacobs, 43, died on May 21 when their car was hit by a coal train at a crossing on Landing Creek Rd.
The accidents happened within two kilometres of each other.
Over the past decade, more than half of all accidents at railway crossings occurred at crossings where there were only signs, with no bells, lights or barrier arms.
KiwiRail has 97 public-road level crossings on the West Coast. Five have barriers plus lights and bells, 27 have lights and bells, but the remaining 65 only have stop or give-way signs.
KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy today visited the latest upgraded crossing on SH67 to reiterate safety messages around the crossings.
"Motorists should always be prepared to stop when approaching a level crossing and look in both directions to check the way is clear," he said.
"What most people don't realise is that it can take a train up to a kilometre to come to a stop."
KiwiRail uses the Australian Level Crossing Assessment Model (ALCAM) to evaluate risk and identify crossings that require safety improvements.
There are 63 road crossings and 110 pedestrian crossings on KiwiRail's priority list for improvements. It aimed to complete eight major upgrades annually - such upgrades could mean adding lights and bells at a crossing currently controlled by signs, or barrier arms at crossings that already have lights and bells.
The Swamp Creek and Landings Creek roads crossings, where Sluys and the Jacobs died, both have low traffic volumes so they do not rate highly on the ALCAM risk assessment.
Neither of the crossings were being considered for safety upgrades.
- Jane Sluys, 56, was hit by a coal train at a crossing with Swamp Creek Rd near Reefton on January 23. She died in hospital about a week later. She was driving from her home on Swamp Creek Rd. The level crossing has a stop sign and railway crossing signs.
- Cory Clements, 28, from Hamilton, died on February 27 when his truck was hit by a passenger train in Waikato. The Te Onetea Rd crossing has a stop sign and railway crossing signs.
- Reefton couple Robert James Jacobs, 66, and Marieta Ocba Jacobs, 43, died on May 21 when their car was hit by a coal train at a crossing north of Reefton. The Landing Creek Rd crossing was less than two kilometres from where Jane Sluys died four months earlier. The crossing has a give way sign and railway crossing signs.
In 2013 there were 18 accidents at level crossings - two motorists and one pedestrian died.

When Blink 182 announced their new tour a few years back my sister (as a Christmas present) purchased the tickets off Ticketmaster for me, the event date was then changed and I was no longer able to attend due to the fact it clashed with my exam period at university. I decided to sell the tickets with Getmein and at first everything was fine, the tickets sold and were easily dispatched/collected by UPS.
I understood that payment would not be made until after the event date to ensure the tickets were real but it has now been over 10 days since the event date and I have still not received my money! I know this tickets are genuine so this should not be a problem, after reading a lot of terrible reviews of the site I fear I may not receive my money.
Think twice before either buying or selling from this website!

I had made a reservation on line and all went very easy. I had a reply the next day and all was arranged. The good thing was that they did not send me to contact the hotels my self, all what i wanted and needed i asked them and they gave me a kind of working answer. I did with them my travel to Istanbul and a Maldives trip for my parents and all was very good in order. I believe i had a good deal and the good was that there was always some one to speak with.

The good the bad and the ugly!
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Today turned out to be a balance. The baby woke me up early, but just early enough that I didn't have to be startled out of bed by Pantera on my phone. Got my shower, hair done and everything made it in the car before I left the house today. Even made it to work on time. Got to park in the basement so I didn't have to walk several blocks in the cold. Low and behold the last month worth of work on our shared drive was deleted and not backed up. Arggghhh!!! So I figured what a better time to go work out than a good day turned bad. I chose to turn it around instead of letting it steam all day. Yay me!! I got back from the gym after an awesome workout (that I could have kept going with if I had more time) and our IT guy shows up with chocolates to say he's sorry for messing up our work. Awe. It was an accident and he didn't mean to cause extra work. I forgive him. But, it's chocolate. My downfall, filled with caramel and red velvet cream even!! Wrapped in a pretty, glittery box tied with a bow (Valentine's day is around the corner). Even as I type, I keep eyeing it. I so would love to tear the box open and relish in its comfort, but I have done great today. Coffee, coconut sugar and almond milk; a banana, some cantelope, gluten-free crackers and hummus, and a salad. I've also almost drank a full 32 oz of water thanks to my workout making me pant. I think I'll stow his apology for later. I would say to reward myself with on a day that I've done well all week and feel I deserve it, but I'm not a damn dog and shouldn't reward myself with food. Gotta learn how to cut out all the excuses and justifications that have gotten me where I am now. To make matters worse the hubby is home with a stomach bug, probably the same one that attacked the baby this last few days. He says he's got dinner covered, a frozen lasagna. Sugar, carbs, process and cheese. Do I oblige and eat a sliver or stay true to my efforts and plate it out for him and the kids, while I mow down several helpings of veggies and maybe a piece of lemon pepper fish? I think I'm going to put myself first, even though he was being very thoughtful despite him being sick. No one else is going to take care of me, but me. It's amazing how a regular day in the life of, can be so challenging on so many levels. Decisions, decisions.
