Dark_Eternal - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkSmall typo on page 2: "256x01600" Reply
dishayu - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkSmall typo in the table of 2nd page. "256x01600" should read "2560x1600". I wanted one of those korean 30 inchers just because it's hard to find good 16:10 IPS panels but sadly, for reasons i can not fathom, they are almost 2x as expensive as the 27 inch 1440p counterparts. So, i eventually ended up buying a 27 inch 1440p panel. Although i'm delighted by my choice nowas this "QNIX QX2710" samsung PLS display that i bought is capable of 120Hz at 1440p without any mods and it's going for 289$ on ebay as i speak. Reply
Sabresiberian - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkHave you actually clocked it @ 120Hz? Reply
dishayu - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI have a shitty GPU (HD6670) so i get artifacting in fast moving scenes at 120Hz. I'm running this at 108Hz currently and it works flawlessly. Reply

Zibri - Friday, April 19, 2013 - linkTry the HP ZR30W. 2560x1600 wide gamut. There's also a great review here on anandtech. Reply
extide - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkHave you noticed any motion artifacts (possibly due to the excessive? pixel overdrive used on this display in an attempt to decrease the advertised pixel response time)
See this thread for more info: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1754377 Reply
Senti - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkIndeed, we need usability in review, i.e. overdrive artifacts are way more important than initial color accuracy. Dell U2713H looks great on paper unless you see the movement artifacts. NEC PA271W was pretty awful in this aspect too. Reply
layte - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkHi. I'm the guy whose Dell forum post was quoted in the HOCP forum post. Dell don't want to know at all about this issue. It would be good if AnandTech could put some pressure on them about the hideous pixel overdrive they have set as default.
The mouse cursor on a white background is bad enough, but grey to grey is especially bad because of the overdrive. Reply
twotwotwo - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkWow, kind of surprised at monitors with 30+ millisecond lag times. I know it's not *that* long. But it is longer than my ping time to Google, and it's hand to monitor, not over a wide-area network. :) Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI really think this is more of a factor of target markets. Games don't use AdobeRGB gamuts, or really need uniformity correctly like photo and graphics work do. If the processing for those features adds a bit of gaming lag I don't think Dell would consider that a big downside, since that isn't the target market anyway. As I said in the review, I'm only so certain on those lag numbers, as other people found much better ones, but methods for measuring lag on a 30" display are a little lacking right now. Reply
Kurge - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkIt has excellent lag times, well above average. It has a game mode which apparently they didn't test? Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkThe lag times are using the game mode. I'll update the text later to reflect this fact. Reply
Sabresiberian - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkTftcentral reports a significantly lower lag time in gaming mode:
They are using a different method than they did a few months ago, and all the numbers are lower than what they used to report. They claim it is more accurate. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkcheinonen, lag sucks for normal use, not just gaming! Most people are slower mouse users than myself; I demand responsiveness. I also don't want audio/video out of sync. Reply
Martin_Schou - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkTo be fair, a ping is typically only 32 bytes. A 2560x1600 monitor has 4 million pixels, each of which needs at least 32 bits of data. Reply
JlHADJOE - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkTo be fair, the distance to your monitor is typically only 3 feet. A ping to google's servers is probably several hundred miles, each hop of which needs to go through routing equipment which adds its own latency. Reply
Sabresiberian - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkNumber of pixels doesn't seem to be the cause of greater lag, added OSD and connection types make a big difference. Reply
asdftech - Friday, April 19, 2013 - linkThroughput and latency are different things. Reply
JDG1980 - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkIt was just reported today that a no-name vendor is releasing a 50" 4K TV for $1500 (the same price as this Dell monitor). I hadn't expected prices to drop that quickly. Although this particular 4K TV probably isn't suitable for monitor use (too big, not clear if it supports 60 Hz, probably has a crappy TN panel) it would be great if it was the leading edge of a new wave of inexpensive 4K TV sets. If there was a 32" 4K TV that supported 60 Hz input (HDMI only goes up to 24 Hz at that resolution, you need DisplayPort for 60) and was reasonably priced, it would make an awesome computer monitor with better DPI than pretty much any existing desktop solution. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer for this. Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkSharp has a 32", 4K display but I believe the MSRP on it is around $6,000. I also believe that it has issues running at 60Hz over a single DisplayLink, but the person I know with one was still working on this issue. So one exists, but it costs a fortune right now. For that $1,500, 50" 4K, I really can't imagine how they're getting there with any sort of quality right now, but we will see. Reply
Andrea deluxe - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkok... year 2013 and 33ms of input lag?
dell and company... are you kidding people? Reply
DanNeely - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkThey're not kidding anyone; they're targeting people for whom the perfect color balance that requires two frames of processing to achieve is more important than getting a latency score that doesn't matter outside of gaming. Reply
hackztor - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkLow input lag can be had in the 3007wfp-hc (I still use this as my main gaming monitor, and 3011 as my secondary). This monitor did not include a scaler so input lag was low, now all monitors want to put hdmi and display port on so they can be used with consoles hence higher input lag. Reply
kasakka - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkBut the scaler has long been one of the best parts of the high res Dells. I've been using a Dell 3008WFP for years now and due to the high res, many new games just aren't playable at native resolution without multiple GPUs. Thanks to the scaler, I'm happily playing at 1920x1200 which runs well at full detail. Compared to leaving scaling to the GPU, the scaler on the Dell does a far better job resulting in much less blurry picture.
For the record I have not been bothered by the input lag either, which I think was reported being somewhere between 20-30ms on the 3008WFP. Reply
mike55 - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkAs Chris mentioned, TFT Central found that there was very little input lag in game mode. ~3.2 ms for pixel response time, and virtually no signal processing time. I'm confused as to why the results are different. Why would using an oscilloscope produce different results? Reply
bebimbap - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkIf you are even thinking about gaming on a 60hz monitor you shouldn't be complaining about 33ms input lag coming out of this one. If a frame is 16.7ms @60hz 33ms is 2 frames, compared to using a 144hz of only 6.9ms per frame, or ~5 frames in 33ms. So even though you are missing only every other frame in reactivity compared to a quicker 60hz monitor, you are missing 4 out of 5 frames compared to a 144hz.
if you need something faster you could always go for a TN based benq or asus 144hz 24"/27" gaming monitor they have 1-2ms input lag and lightboost but only up to 120hz.
I have both a u3011 and a vg248qe and I cannot game on my u3011 anymore after gaming on a vg248qe @120hz with lightboost. But I do everything else on the u3011, photoshop, movies, browsing, etc, again everything other than gaming. when i'm not gaming the vg248qe acts as a nice blank screen or pallet space for photoshop.
again if input lag is important to you, get a TN based 144hz asus or benq you will be VERY happy. do not look at PLS/PVA/IPS it's just a waste of time. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkRemember, they are the same people who put extreme crappy 1366x768 panels on notebooks.
So shittyness is synonymous with Dell. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkEveryone still puts 1366x768 panels in laptops, as I noticed my Dad's Sony and sister's Acer both rocking those on vacation a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't say that's a Dell problem, but an industry problem. Reply
Kevin G - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkThat Sharp display I've seen at sites going for $4500. Still expensive but a definitive step up in terms of resolution from this Dell. I'd love to see a review of it here at Anandtech. *hint* *hint* *hint* Reply
jibberegg - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkApparently Seiki are offering 50" 4k for $1,500. Anyone heard of them? I smell bad things at that price, but don't want to write it off without more information.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool... Reply
SeannyB - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkThe current HDMI spec only does up to 30Hz in 4K. This is the thing that stops me from buying one right now, because using Windows or whatever at 30 frames per second is miserable. Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkDigging through the Seiki manual indicates that 30 hz is the best frame rate it can get at 4k resolutions. Might be fine for video as the source material in all likelihood doesn't exceed this rate.
Another passable usage would to use it as a large format display for 2D imagery. This would be the equivalent of four 1080P 25" monitors of screen space, minus the bezels. Color quality and calibration controls are an unknown, so this use-case is iffy.
For gaming, this refresh rate is going to be horrible. Reply
cheinonen - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkFYI, it has no calibration controls at all: no white balance, no CMS, no gamma, nothing. So if you want an accurate image, double the price to include a DVDO or Lumagen box, and those don't work with 4K material yet. Reply
SantaAna12 - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkApples to apples???
High end monitor review....no comparison to Apple.
Hmmmmmmm.......your welcome Dell! Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI didn't review the Apple, Anand did himself, and it was with our prior test bench. It's also a white LED backlit model with the sRGB gamut, not a CCFL or G-B LED backlight with AdobeRGB gamut, or any sort of uniformity control. It's a high-end, general use 27" display, not a professional photographer/graphics display, which this is. There isn't a lack of a comparison to spare one of them, they're different markets, with different test bench data. Reply
p05esto - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkYou are out of your mind if you think an Apple monitor could touch this. lol, just another clueless Apple sheep. Reply
Kevin G - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkHave you tested the MST functionality of this device? I'd to see how this works out, especially with this and a DP 1.1 monitor. Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI did, and it's discussed in the article. Worked fine with the monitor I have here, with a couple of caveats. Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI had to re-read the article to catch the few bits regarding MST support. I'm curious to see how well the MST hub works with a DP 1.1 monitor (more than likely) and a DP 1.1 output from a video card (not so likely). I was hoping for a bit more testing in this area but I guess you had to work with what you have on hand.
Did you try any active DP-to-DVI adapters for usage with other displays?
Could you logically rotate the display connected via the MST out port independently of the primary?
Can the refresh rates on each monitor be adjust independently as well? Reply

Trefugl - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkYou mention a 30" IPS display selling at Monoprice. Do you have plans to review, or can point me in the direction of one? I'm interested in a 30" display that is "decent" - I plan on using it for typical desktop use and gaming. Reply
Martin_Schou - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkDoes this monitor support USB over DisplayPort? I'm guessing it doesn't, and to be honest, I'm starting to be annoyed at having to pull an extra cable, that is frankly unneeded. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkIt doesn't seem to, no. When I unplugged the USB cable the USB devices stopped working, even though its connected over DisplayPort. A restart didn't fix this either. Reply
airmantharp - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkTFT Central did an in-depth look into the input lag, and while they found similar numbers in the default modes, there is a 'gaming' mode that they measured at ~3ms. It appears to bypass all of the circuitry used for processing and scaling, and along with the new AG coating, makes this monitor preferable to HP's ZR30w for gaming. Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI ran all the tests in the gaming mode, so that is where the numbers come from. So I don't know if the different methods account for everything, or if they might have gotten a different firmware, or something else. Reply
airmantharp - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI feel for you- trying to do an objective test without the equipment is challenging. I was just hoping to address some of the 'it's awful for gaming!' comments that ignored your mention of TFT Central's finding, especially as it's probably the best 30" for gaming. Reply
tocket - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkWhat are the CIE standard observer color matching curves doing in the "spectral signature" chart? That is not very useful I think - it only makes it more confusing. I also want to comment that having "a much larger spectrum of light wavelengths" does not give you a larger gamut volume. If you want to get the largest possible gamut monochromatic light sources should be used (ideally at something like 450, 520 and 640 nm). Reply
cjl - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkA quick comment - those touch sensitive buttons that you keep complaining about? Those aren't new. As a U3011 owner, I can tell you with some certainty that they've been there on Dell's flagship since at least the 3011. I haven't had any problems with mine either as far as responsiveness is concerned, but that may be personal preference (or maybe I happened to get a monitor with above-average responsiveness to the buttons). Reply
airmantharp - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkWe have four, and they're all 'responsive', but don't go labeling them as 'ergonomic'. Still, since you rarely perform complex settings adjustments after initial setup, they're probably a better choice for longevity over cheap mechanical buttons that may wear out. Reply
cheinonen - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI didn't test the U3011, but the U2713HM and other Dells that I have tested have had the actual buttons, which I love. I wish they kept it that way, looks be damned. Reply
p05esto - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkYea, I have the U2713HM and like the phyiscal buttons. I hate all the "touch" controls companies try to shove down our throats. Nothing beats pyysically raised buttons with tactical feedback when pushed. This goes for just about any gadget. Cameras with touchscreens are soooo useless for example. Reply
chubbypanda - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkAging Dell U2410 also has touch buttons (with motion detection) and real power on/off button. Kind of annoying, but it's bearable. Looks better than physical buttons on U2412M of course (the overall design is better actually). Reply
blau808 - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI have/had the U3014 and the U2410. The U3014's touch sensitive buttons are anything but. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 touches to get it to activate whereas on my U2410 I never had a problem with the touch sensitivity. So they changed something that put them a step back from their previous solutions it seems. Reply
blau808 - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkI recently purchased one of these and am now in the process of sending it back. While changing any of the preset mode (game, multimedia, etc) the monitor turns to severe static and artifacting. In standard preset mode, the reds seem to flash on and off turning the screen a bluish tinge before flashing back to normal. I am truly disappointed and keep telling myself thats what I get for being an early adopter. Hopefully the next panel I get wont be a dud. Reply
CSMR - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkExcellent to see continued progress in monitors.
One question is why the review focused more on sRGB and AdobeRGB modes than Standard? The usual advice is to always have the monitor on Standard and let Windows do all the color conversion. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkIf you use Standard mode, you aren't certain what the gamut that its using is (probably a larger one than sRGB), and then you're dependent on Windows to manage colors, which means you need to have both an accurate ICC profile, and every application to be ICC aware. sRGB will force the monitor to use the proper gamut for 99% of things (very little properly uses AdobeRGB, but for those people that need it, it's essential) and you don't need to have Windows and the applications be ICC aware. Reply
CSMR - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkGetting this monitor and using sRGB would be a real waste. People who buy monitors like this know that they want a wide gamut and precise calibration. Yes there are some applications that are not color aware and give wrong colors on a calibrated monitor, but 1. these applications are not color critical or else they would be ICC aware, and 2. the gamut would be right as that is done via a global setting (LUT) in the graphics driver. Reply
cheinonen - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkAnd that's why there are multiple calibration modes available that you can save, as well as included software that will switch the display between those modes when working in the correct application. So if Photoshop requires AdobeRGB and Premiere needs sRGB, you can have the monitor switch on-the-fly between those two.
Of course, if the included calibration software worked better, so you could have more accurately calibrated modes saved to the CAL1 and CAL2 presets, that feature would work even better. Reply
zer0future - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkWould you guys be able to review the new monitors from Monoprice.com? Here is the link for anyone interested.
The 27 inch model apparently uses the same panel as the apple cinema display. These prices are also quite competitive so they have me interested. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI'm talking to them, though I personally think the 30" would make for a more interesting review as we've covered a lot of the 27" IPS panels now. Also, if you look back at the two LG 29EA93 reviews that I did, you can see that the panel only makes up a small part of the performance of a display. The corresponding electronics are a huge factor in performance, so I don't recommend just looking at the panel to determine the performance. Reply
Trefugl - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkIt is great to hear that you are in talks with Monoprice! I would be grateful for a review of either model, but would be more interested in the one with an OSD. I'm concerned with having a wide gamut screen that has no sRGB mode or color correction on board, tho the potentially reduced input lag of not having processing is alluring as well. Reply
cheinonen - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkI don't believe any of the Monoprice displays are wide gamut, only sRGB gamut. It looks like the 30" one has a 10-bit panel, but that's certainly 8-bit with AFRC, which might give you better gradients, but won't give you a wider gamut. Reply
B3an - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkChris, i'd really appreciate it if you could help me as i'm thinking of buying this monitor. Do you have any idea at all if the i1Display 2 will calibrate this monitor well? It comes with Eye-One Match 3 software.
And what software would you recommend most for calibration? dispcalGUI? Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkPersonally, I wouldn't use an i1Display2 anymore for color accuracy. With the design of the i1Display2, and the fact that they haven't been made for a year or two now, the filters degrade over time so that anything it is reading now may or may not be accurate at all. It can read light levels correctly, so white and black light output, but not the colors of light. I have a pair of them here and testing them now compared to the i1Pro, I see dE2000 errors > 10 in the grayscale using it. The standard calibrated modes are going to likely be more accurate.
I like dispcalGUI. I haven't used the most recent version, but I've been using it for a long time now and they do a great job adding more and more features to it. Reply
von Krupp - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkYou know what's missing from this monitor? Support for 5.1 output like its out-going predecessor. I make great use of that feature on my U2711, and not having it here is a major deal-breaker. I run my Xbox 360 to the monitor via HDMI and pipe the audio out through the analogue 5.1 jacks to Logitech X-530s. I would not be able to do that with these new monitors.
I might be a hold-out, but one of the primary selling points for me on the U3011 and U2711 was the fact that, for a PC monitor, they offered a diverse array connectivity. You can do HDMI, composite, component, DVI, VGA, and DP all on the same monitor. You can also, as mentioned, earlier, output to analogue 5.1 surround. This monitor is not worth the $1500 asking price in light of this "streamlining" of features. If I'm paying top-dollar for a monitor whose predecessor I already own, I want it to have all of the capabilities of that predecessor and then some. $1500 for what is only a good panel and LED back-lighting is a raw deal no matter how you slice it.

jamyryals - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkChris, my coworker has a Nixeus 27inch monitor attached to a 2012 MBP. His Nixeus has the same problem of not activating after sleep sometimes as well. A simple power cycle gets it going again for him too. Just another data point to indicate where that particular problem may be. Reply
l_d_allan - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThe 2010 and 2011 models are coming down in price nicely. I just ordered a U2410 that should be a significant upgrade from my current Samsung TN panel that only has about 70% of sRGB.
The only significant difference I'm aware of to the U2413 is the hardware calibration capability, but I have a Spyder rather than X-Rite, so my understanding is that is a non-issue. YMMV. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThe U2410 is a CCFL backlight and the U2413 utilizes the G-B LED backlight that the U3014 uses. It also has the MiniDP and DisplayPort inputs and a DisplayPort output for using MST, and USB 3.0 over 2.0. It loses the analog inputs that the U2410 has, so if you have a need for those it is certainly the one to use. Since you're using a Spyder, the calibration software is a non-issue. Reply
Filiprino - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkYour source of lag must be the use of HDMI. Reply
cheinonen - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkHDMI and DisplayPort were virtually identical in this regard. Reply
red5un - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkHow does the new dell stack up against the NEC PA30 color wise? Love your new testing methodology but I wish there was a way to see a direct comparison. Is there a possibility of you guys retesting some of the higher end monitors? Are LED monitors finally ready to do color critical work? We do print and commercial VFX work and the NEC's are great but recalibrating every week plus knowing the CFL's are slowly dying I'm wondering if LED will be the answer. Reply
cheinonen - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkI have no idea how the NEC 30" would fare, as I only tested the 27", and that was with the older test format. Getting in an older monitor is less likely to happen, if only because manufacturers often don't have review samples of displays that are older laying around anymore. I'll see what possibility exists, though it would more likely just be a quick review with only the test data, and not the in-depth commentary, since that has been covered before. Reply
soerenL - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkThanks for enlightening article!
New to wide gamut and display profiling, have been reading a bit about it around the net, but would like know if my workflow makes any sense. Asked this in Dell forums also, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to ask!
My primary objective is to have accurate colors in Maya and Photoshop. Secondary objective is to have accurate colors in games.
I should use sRGB emulation in Maya, and other non color managed applications, and adobeRGB in photoshop and firefox ?
I should profile the display with the provided Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration software, and store a sRGB calibration profile for example in CAL1, and a adobeRGB calibration profile in CAL2. And have the Dell Display Manager switch to CAL2 when using photoshop, and to CAL1 for all applications that aren't color managed ?
i1Profiler (the software that came with the i1Display Pro) can monitor ambient light, and automaticly reprofile based on changes in ambient light. The Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration software doesn't mention measuring ambient light at all, so I don't think the software have that capability ? Is there a way of using the hardware calibration in U3014 and ambient light measurements at the same time ? Would it be ok to install both i1Profiler and the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration software, at the same time, do first the hardware calibration with the dell software, and then have the i1Profiler build a (software?) profile, that would mostly just reflect changes in ambient light ?
For accurate colors in games (if at all possible) I should use the games preset (to reduce lag) and then use i1Profiler to create a profile ? Reply
sherlockwing - Friday, April 19, 2013 - linkFor $1400 Dell should at least consider going up to 2880X1800 for a 16:10 monitor. Reply
Zibri - Friday, April 19, 2013 - linkI still think 2010 HP ZR30W is better than this. Reply
Oxford Guy - Sunday, April 21, 2013 - linkThe u2412m has higher contrast because it's e-IPS. e-IPS has a simpler pixel structure that allows more light to be transmitted. However, e-IPS monitors always come with just 6-bit color and the thin paper used in the u2412m leads to mediocre uniformity.
Also, there isn't a single A-MVA panel in your chart which makes your black level/contrast ratio comparison lack adequate perspective. You should include the best and the poorest in your charts, to provide perspective -- especially the best. The best contrast ratio would be from A-MVA. Reply

Big Anonymouse - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkGreat article!
Btw, how come the lag numbers are diametrically opposite to the ones in http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u3014.htm review, where it scored with the lowest lag compared to all tested monitors (some of them tested in this article too)?

Buckner's stellar debut gives Angels seven in a row
Conger, Hamilton knock solo homers to help keep Halos surging
KANSAS CITY -- You know things are going well for the Angels when they can pluck a starting pitcher out of Triple-A and have him go five shutout innings in his first Major League appearance in nearly three years.
That was the scenario on Saturday as right-hander Billy Buckner turned in an auspicious Angels' debut in a 7-0 victory over the Royals. Buckner hadn't been seen in the Majors since May 29, 2010, when he worked for the D-backs. Furthermore, he hadn't pitched since May 11 for Triple-A Salt Lake. But Buckner's two-hit effort through five showed the Royals that he was relaxed and ready for this opportunity.
Buckner became just the third Angel to throw at least five shutout innings with two or fewer hits in his Angel debut. The only others to do it? Don Sutton and Mark Langston.
Making the afternoon all the more sweet was the fact that Buckner was a Kansas City Draft pick in 2004. He was traded to the D-backs for Alberto Callaspo in '07, and now the Angels have wound up with both players.
"I've come full circle, right back here where it all started," Buckner said. "Getting any win at this point feels good, but it is neat to come back to the park where I first started."
Buckner walked three and the Royals hit some balls hard early. But Buckner kept delivering zeros to keep up with Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie, who didn't allow a hit through five innings.
The defining moment for Buckner came in the fifth when the Royals had runners at first and third with one out. The Angels had a 1-0 lead courtesy of Mike Trout's speed that enabled the Angels to score a run without a hit in the fourth. Just when it seemed that Kansas City was primed to tie it or take the lead, Buckner induced a double-play grounder from Chris Getz.
Buckner left after throwing 74 pitches and watched the bullpen finish the job that he had started.
"That double play was huge," Buckner said "It was a good turn by the guys. I felt pretty calm out there. All I wanted to do was be aggressive in the bottom of the zone and let my defense play behind me."
The only real glitch for Buckner was crossing up catcher Hank Conger on a called pitchout. Buckner was focused on the pitch that he and Conger had just talked about and then delivered a breaking ball on the called pitchout.
No harm done. The Royals never scored.
"His fastball command was awesome and his curve was sharp," Conger said. "He managed to throw his changeup, too. Those three pitches kept the hitters off balance."
Once Buckner departed, he got to witness quite a show from the bench. Conger and Josh Hamilton delivered opposite-field homers to make it 3-0 and a bullpen quartet of Dane De La Rosa, Scott Downs, Robert Coello and Michael Kohn stepped in to finish the shutout. Mark Trumbo had a two-run single in the eighth to extend his hitting streak to a career-best 10 games.
The Angels have won seven in a row as they continue to climb out of a big early season hole. The Royals have dropped 15 of 19 and must figure they've caught the Angels at exactly the wrong time.
"We're not done yet," Conger said. "We've got things rolling, but you look at the big picture and we really need to continue this momentum in order to be where we want to be down the road."
Manager Mike Scioscia was quite pleased with Buckner's first performance and enthused overall about the pitching in general during the seven-game winning streak.
"Billy understands his game and how he has to change locations and change speeds," Scioscia said. "He showed a good breaking ball, a good changeup and spotted his fastball. I think that got him through some tough spots. They hit a couple of balls hard, but he got us through the five innings."
The Angels will be adding some pitching soon and the offense, with two more homers on Saturday, has begun to meet Spring Training expectations.
"The confidence of the team starts to build when you start to move in the right direction," Scioscia said. "These guys feel good because we're playing the type of baseball we had hoped to play in the first month. It's here now and guys are comfortable playing our game and having other teams try to stop us."

Read full description of the books Reflections on Judging:In Reflections on Judging, Richard Posner distills the experience of his thirty-one years as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Surveying how the judiciary has changed since his 1981 appointment, he engages the issues at stake today, suggesting how lawyers should argue cases and judges decide them, how trials can be improved, and, most urgently, how to cope with the dizzying pace of technological advance that makes litigation ever more challenging to judges and lawyers.
For Posner, legal formalism presents one of the main obstacles to tackling these problems. Formalist judges--most notably Justice Antonin Scalia--needlessly complicate the legal process by advocating "canons of constructions" (principles for interpreting statutes and the Constitution) that are confusing and self-contradictory. Posner calls instead for a renewed commitment to legal realism, whereby a good judge gathers facts, carefully considers context, and comes to a sensible conclusion that avoids inflicting collateral damage on other areas of the law. This, Posner believes, was the approach of the jurists he most admires and seeks to emulate: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, Learned Hand, Robert Jackson, and Henry Friendly, and it is an approach that can best resolve our twenty-first-century legal disputes.
Read information about the authorRichard Posner is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School.
Following his graduation from Harvard Law School, Judge Posner clerked for Justice William J. Brennan Jr. From 1963 to 1965, he was assistant to Commissioner Philip Elman of the Federal Trade Commission. For the next two years he was assistant to the solicitor general of the United States. Prior to going to Stanford Law School in 1968 as Associate Professor, Judge Posner served as general counsel of the President's Task Force on Communications Policy. He first came to the Law School in 1969, and was Lee and Brena Freeman Professor of Law prior to his appointment in 1981 as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, where he currently presides. He was the chief judge of the court from 1993 to 2000.
Judge Posner has written a number of books, including Economic Analysis of Law (7th ed., 2007), The Economics of Justice (1981), Law and Literature (3rd ed. 2009), The Problems of Jurisprudence (1990), Cardozo: A Study in Reputation (1990), The Essential Holmes (1992), Sex and Reason (1992), Overcoming Law (1995), The Federal Courts: Challenge and Reform (1996), Law and Legal Theory in England and America (1996), The Problematics of Moral and Legal Theory (1999), Antitrust Law (2d ed. 2001), Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy (2003), Catastrophe: Risk and Response (2004), Preventing Surprise Attacks: Intelligence Reform in the Wake of 9/11 (2005), How Judges Think (2008), and A Failure of Capitalism: The Crisis of '08 and the Descent into Depression (2009), as well as books on the Clinton impeachment and Bush v.

text: rpiller 839 Report post Posted January 3, 2013 I can't seem to find a good BCrypt library that's simple and cross-platform for C++. Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone made any wrappers to any? On the website where players sign up for my game (which is .NET) I use http://bcrypt.codeplex.com/, which is so simple to use. I'm sort of looking for something to match this for my game client (which is in C++) so it can do the same when it bcrypt's the PW on the client and sends to the server for login validation. I'm using RakNet for my networking and this login will be done over a secure connection, but I also want this extra layer because I don't want to store the actual PW of players on my server but instead the bcrypt'd value in case the DB becomes compromised in the future. I'll encrypt the DB field also, but this is just another layer of protection. Those 3 layers (secure connection, bcrypt pw, encrypted DB field) I would think would think would be enough protection. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants romp past Brewers into Wild Card lead
Posey tallies five hits; Panik collects four behind Vogelsong
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants regained first place Friday night ... in the National League's Wild Card race.
Overcompensating for their shabby treatment of Ryan Vogelsong, who had been backed by the lowest run support among all Major League starters in home games, the Giants whipped the Milwaukee Brewers, 13-2, and nudged past St. Louis to climb atop the Wild Card standings. San Francisco leads the Cardinals by a half-game and trails first-place Los Angeles in the NL West by 3 1/2 games.
Buster Posey went 5-for-5, equaling a personal best. Rookie Joe Panik rapped four hits, matching the most prolific output of his 46-game big league career, as the Giants recorded their largest victory margin of the year.
With a full month remaining in the Giants' season, manager Bruce Bochy predictably downplayed the club's Wild Card ascent.
"You'll hear me say this so many times: The only thing we can do is try to win every game and we'll see where we are at the end," Bochy said. "Because this thing's going to go back and forth. It's going to be tight in [the Wild Card] and in the division races, too. We can't get caught up in that as much as we have to focus on what we need to do out there."
The Giants maintained their focus nicely against NL Central-leading Milwaukee, extending their winning streak to four -- their longest since they captured five in a row June 4-8.
Maybe, just maybe, the Giants are on the brink of recapturing the "mojo," as Bochy has called it, that they possessed when they went on their 31-11 binge from April 23-June 8. After all, they exorcised the demons that haunted them when Vogelsong took the mound at home, where they lost his seven previous starts. They've also improved overall at AT&T Park, winning seven of their last nine there.
The Giants seemed at home in this series opener against Milwaukee. Their 13-run output was their highest in an AT&T Park date since a 16-run clamor against Cincinnati on Aug. 24, 2010. Moreover, the Giants' 19 hits were the second-most they've amassed here, eclipsed only by a 20-hit assortment against the Marlins on Aug. 14, 2001.
Having produced exactly zero runs for Vogelsong while he was in the game in his previous five starts at AT&T Park -- and an average of 1.89 runs at home in 13 starts all season -- the Giants generated enough offense for him to throw underhanded.
They scored in each of the first five innings, stunning Milwaukee with a three-run first inning that included consecutive singles by Panik, Posey, Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence. Brewers starter Wily Peralta (15-9) would have tied Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw for the Major League lead in victories had he subdued the Giants. Instead, he yielded six runs and nine hits in three innings.
"We put up some really, really good at-bats against a really tough guy," said Vogelsong (8-9), who yielded four hits and both of Milwaukee's runs while striking out seven in seven innings. "It's easy to let your guard down and it's tough when you're sitting in the dugout that long every inning. I'm pretty happy that I was able to keep my focus."
As a picturesque sunset formed in the skies beyond right field, Posey performed as if the sun had just begun to rise on his season. After singling Panik to third base to launch the Giants' first-inning surge, Posey drilled an RBI single in the second inning, singled off shortstop Elian Herrera's glove to lead off the fourth, tripled in the fifth and singled in the sixth. He scored three runs and drove in three more, earning the final three innings off.
"It would have been nice to have him go for six, but the rest was more important," Bochy said.
"At this point in the year I got to get a chance to come out and get in the cold tub," Posey said. "It was already a three-hour game at that point, and I want to be in there as much as I can the rest of the way."
That's understandable. In nine games since Aug. 21, when he went 4-for-4 at Chicago, Posey's hitting .500 (20-for-40) with 11 runs scored, three doubles, a triple, five homers and 13 RBIs. He has lifted his batting average during this span from .278 to .297, matching the highest figure he has reached since May 13.
Posey preferred to talk about Panik.
"Talk about confidence," Posey said. "It seems like for the last three or four weeks, every time he comes up to bat he feels he's going to get a hit. He's got a really nice, simple approach and a knack for getting the barrel on the ball."
The success was shared by Angel Pagan, who went 3-for-5; Gregor Blanco, who drew three walks preceding a fifth-inning homer; and Vogelsong, who singled and scored in the second inning.
"This was gone, basically, pretty early," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "We got a run early and you hope you can bounce back. But once it gets to that point, you're trying to survive with your pitching staff."

The Irvine Museum leaves its teenage years behind with an exhibition of its most popular California Impressionist paintings, on display through June 6.
"Lasting Impressions: Twenty Years of The Irvine Museum" spotlights artists such as Franz A. Bischoff, George Brandriff, Alson S. Clark, Frank Cuprien, Paul de Longpré, William A. Griffith, Joseph Kleitsch, Granville Redmond, Guy Rose, Donna Schuster and William Wendt.
Eight pieces of art by local children will also be on display.
The museum is committed to preserving Impressionist art from 1890 to 1930 that captures the sprawling California landscape before today's mass urbanization and development.
More than 65 exhibitions have adorned its walls, 17 of which toured the country, and the museum's bookstore boasts 18 of its own books on the particular style.
But the museum isn't the only one celebrating its 20th – two of its founding fathers, current president James Irvine Swinden and executive director Jean Stern have led the institution since it first opened its doors in January 1993.

What do you think about the concept of naming big game animals?
I personally think it is stupid, but we are not the only nation that does it. It is getting more popular in Europe as well.
Here in the south Pacific as far as I can see it is pretty limited. Thank goodness.
I think it turns in the animal into a Disneyesque version of it'self.
From the hunting shows, forums and magazines it seems to be a big deal.

HOUSTON - Four people were shot and one person is dead after a shooting at a northwest Harris County nightclub.
Harris County Sheriff's detectives said a security guard for the Bronco Nite Club on Veteran Memorial shot several people after he was attacked by patrons just after 6 a.m.
"What the guard told us was that he was escorting the customers out of the club at closing time, when he was he was assaulted by at least two or three people and he pulled out his weapon and discharged it multiple times," said Harris County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Ben Beall.
Sgt. Beall said four people were shot. One man died on scene, another man was shot in the stomach and two others were not seriously hurt.
Investigators are questioning at least 15 witnesses but do not yet know what prompted the initial scuffle. Sgt. Beall noted that several of the patrons appeared intoxicated, and said patrol deputies had to track down the owner of the club.
"(The owner) after the shooting occurred locked up the business and left the scene," said Sgt. Beall.
None of the victims' names has been released.
Family members of the security guard identified him as Michael Dennis and said he worked at the club for only a couple of months.
Dennis was taken tot the hospital, but his injuries did not appear to be life threatening, according to Sgt. Beall.
Deputies have been called to the Bronco Nite Club 12 times in the past two months. A search of Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission records show the club was cited in 2006, and twice in 2007, for allowing patrons to consume alcohol after permitted hours, and was given a written warning in 2009 for place or manner gambling.

JUNE was one of the busiest months ever for Yeovil Recreation Centre, with an estimated 8-10,000 people visiting the Athletics Arena during June alone.
There was only 8 days in June when the Arena was not used for events or activities.
Recently, the Rec hosted the South West Schools Track and Field Championships and the Great British Tennis Weekend with the Galley Refreshments Kiosk enjoying its busiest day since the opening of the Flagship Play Area in 2009.
Schools and clubs travel far and wide to enjoy the first class facilities of the Athletics Area. Gillingham Primary Schools, Huish Olympic Trust, East Devon County Schools, Sedgemoor Schools, and Preston School, to name a few, all held successful events over a wide variety of athletics disciplines and competitions in one week during June.
During the three weekends of Great British Tennis Weekend, more than 300 people of all ages played the tennis for free on the Artificial Grass Pitch. The Athletics Arena has even been home to one of the best long distance runners in the country with Olympian Jo Pavey training for the Commonwealth Games on the track.
Yeovil's Athletics Arena is the only publically accessible eight lane athletics track in the county, a big plus for many groups, clubs or schools wanting to use the facilities and it is certainly one of the best facilities in the South West.
Speaking about the facilities available at Yeovil Recreation Centre, Councillor Sylvia Seal, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture said, "The Rec has been very well used over recent months, mainly because of the high-class facilities available to group users in the athletics arena. Others are always welcome to use the athletics arena or other facilities on site.
"We have increased the presence of staff down at the site so that there is always someone there to help or answer enquiries when needed. Pick up the phone and enquire about the facilities available to you."
To showcase the top quality facilities on offer there will be a first Family Fun Day at the Rec on Saturday 16th August. There will be an opportunity to try out exciting activities including Mini Tennis, Hockey, Athletics, Golf and even Laser Tag for free. There will also be inflatables and a Barbeque to keep everyone occupied!
If you would like to book the Athletics Arena, Artificial Grass Pitch or any other facilities at Yeovil Recreation Centre, please contact our booking line on 01935 462616 or e-mail email@example.com

What a week! MAX was outstanding — The Giants are in the World Series – I met Martha Stewart (and now have some great ideas for Thanksgiving) – I sat next to Jerry Brown on my flight back to the Bay Area (actually he sat 3 rows behind me and in a center seat!) – and finally, the mysterious conspiracy of the cosmos, which undoubtedly involved the alignment of moons and stars, has delivered yet another great DAY.
As of today the acquisition of DAY Software is now complete.
So on behalf of the entire Adobe partner organization and our global Enterprise Solution Partners, we want to welcome the DAY employees and partner community to Adobe. We are thrilled to have DAY's market leading WCM solution, acting as the gravitational nexus pulling all of Adobe's assets together as we lead our assault of ridding the enterprise of applications devoid of emotion.
As the legions of Adobe developers made their annual pilgrimage to MAX, the experiential revolution could be felt in every nook and cranny of every presentation and every new innovation. As the red monk "govenator" pointed out: we are in the midst of another major tectonic shift. Gartner echoed this sentiment, as well. In fact, our only disagreement was whether this new wave of enterprise applications would enthrall or electrify the customer experience. The drab, lifeless expression of enterprise applications, which impose a drone mentality on the user, is over.
And the marriage of the right-brain creative partners with the left-brain systems integration partners will create a formidable force. Over the next several weeks, we will be communicating our partner cross-pollination plans. On the surface, our objective is simple. Long standing LiveCycle partners can accelerate their understanding of DAY software by engaging the talented partners joining the Adobe customer experience revolution. And vice versa, we want DAY partners to lean on our longstanding partner relationships to accelerate their understanding of Adobe technologies that transform the user experience of enterprise applications. We will unveil our plans next week, so stay tuned!

text: KingofNoobs 305 Report post Posted February 14, 2013 Hi, I am a stay-at-home game developer. I am considering purchasing a home in Kansas City, Kansas to take part in Google's new Google Fiber Gigabit Internet community. The real estate is very cheap out there and because geography *shouldn't* be an issue with game dev, I am seriously considering purchasing a house out there and putting up whomever wants to devote their life to game dev and all things geeky/techy. Think of it like a school. At this school you would have the internet and your fellow housemates as instructors/fellow students. It would be ideally suited to very bright, self-started, young and eager game developers who don't want to worry about financial concerns, but want to focus all their time on game-dev. I don't know how big that demographic is so I'm putting this post up as a ping to see if anybody would be interested. I would only ask that you pay for your own food expenses (and perhaps split the electricity, depending on the bill that all the kick ass hardware in the house would generate). As a personal aside, if I decide that this investment is not worthwhile in the long run, I will be moving to San Francisco to be as immersed in the game dev community as possible. The upside of this as I see it is a built in community. I can't imagine another place with as many eager game devs in as geographically limited a space as SF. However, the game devs and other tech people in SF may all be 30's plus, and may all be firmly ensconced in a corporate environment, with no desire to "get more indy." What do you indies out there think? Would building a home for the indie, devoted to the indie, and free for the indie, be something that you would take advantage of? How long would you like to stay there? How would you use it to kickstart your ideas and generally enjoy your life to a fuller extent? If anyone has any thoughts or comments, please leave them here. I am very serious about this opportunity, and if it sounds like something you would also be interested in, please let me know. Feel free to also PM me or contact me at my number one email address: firstname.lastname@example.com I look forward to hearing from you.

Auburn's Fischer unhittable for four
Washington right-hander strong in fourth start since going pro
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | July 5, 2012 8:45 PM ET
Now two weeks into his professional career in the Washington Nationals' organization, he's hoping those baseball lessons translate well in the Minors.
Making his fourth New York-Penn League appearance, Fischer tossed four innings of no-hit ball to lead the Class A Short-Season Auburn Doubledays past the Lowell Spinners, 10-1.
"I just treated it like I would any start when I was at UConn," he said. "They did a great job of having a professional atmosphere and that has translated very well, but I still have a long way to go. You have to stay level-headed. There will be ups and downs, but you have to stay even-keeled and not let everything bother you.
"You have to be calm and patient. This is baseball; it's not basketball or football where you can be jacked up. You have to think a lot when you are on the mound. My coach [at UConn] always told me to slow the game down, and obviously we've had some success with professional baseball players coming out of UConn lately."
The New York native faced one batter over the minimum and only allowed two baserunners. Williams Jerez reached on first baseman Shawn Pleffner's missed catch to begin the third inning -- he was later erased on an inning-ending double play -- and Deven Marrero drew a leadoff walk in the fourth frame, but was stranded at second base.
"I threw a lot of fastballs," said Fischer, selected by the Nationals in the 18th round of the 2012 Draft. "I had a pretty good run on my two-seam [fastball], so I used that a lot. I threw my breaking ball when I needed to, but that was all I needed tonight. It got me a lot of ground balls.
"I felt comfortable. I threw every pitch where I wanted it and it was good to get back out there again as a starter. But I'm only the guy throwing the ball. I don't hit and I don't field, so a lot of credit has to go to my teammates."
Jason Smith replaced Fischer (0-1) in the fifth inning and he retired the first six batters he faced before Kendrick Perkins lined a one-out double to center field to break up the no-hit bid in the seventh. Two batters later, Mookie Betts lofted an RBI double to center field to end the shutout.
John Peters worked around Williams Jerez's leadoff walk in the eighth and he set the side down in order in the ninth to complete the two-hitter.
Fischer, who entered the contest knowing he had a four-inning pitch limit, said he didn't realize the team had a no-no bid working until long after he had exited the game.
"I went back into the clubhouse to do my shoulder maintenance and get some ice," explained Fischer, who said he had never been part of a no-hitter at any level before.
"When I came back out it, was the bottom of the sixth or the top of the seventh. I saw that we had a no-hitter going, but I kept it to myself. I'm usually pretty observant. But you have to have a lot of luck with that. When I was pitching, it wasn't conscious in my mind."
The 22-year-old allowed a run on two hits over two innings of relief in his pro debut against Batavia on June 21, and he yielded one run on three hits and a walk over three frame out of the bullpen against Jamestown four days later.
On Friday, he surrendered four runs on four hits and a walk in his first pro start, but he only lasted two innings before being taken out.
"I got a couple quick outs, but then I walked a guy and gave up a base hit and it unraveled," said the 6-foot-5 right-hander, who posted a 3.47 ERA and a 5-6 record in 80 1/3 innings over 16 appearances -- including 10 starts in his senior year at Connecticut. "I felt great during that outing, but it just got away from me. When I was getting hit, it was because I was leaving the ball up.
"I like proving people wrong. If someone doesn't have confidence in me, but I have confidence in myself, I want to show them that they're wrong. I like the one-on-one matchups within a team sport. I like like the mano a mano, if you will. I just like competing, that's what drives me. I like being better than the other person."
That and the support of his friends and family.
Fischer grew up a Yankees fan around the Binghamton area and he later moved to Scotia near Albany when he was 11 years old.
Pitching in the New York-Penn League, Fischer -- who was selected by the Angels in the 44th round of the 2008 Draft and the Giants in the 30th round in 2011 -- has a lot of support close by. On Thursday, his family made the two-hour drive west to Auburn. they have seen him pitch in three of his first four pro games.
"My family always supports me and that drives me too," he said. "It's not like I want people just to look up to me, but I want to do well for my family and friends."
On Thursday, catcher Craig Manuel was 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored out of the No. 9 spot, and designated hitter Carlos Alvarez and shortstop Stephen Perez each plated two runs in the victory.
Lowell starter Yunior Ortega (1-1) took the loss after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings.

philipma1957 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkThe crucial mSata 256gb is pretty good for asrock z77-itx board and for intels h77 itx board.
They allow for a small desktop. I would like the 3 mobos I used to allow sata III they only allow Sata II. Reply
philipma1957 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkFollow up
I have these mobos
ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Intel BOXDH77DF LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Maximus V Gene LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
all are running with just the crucial msata 256gb ssds .
I would not mind one with a Sata III slot , I do agree msata is not offered as viable option for the system builder. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkAll I could find is that mSATA is only specified for SATA 1.5Gb/s and SATA 3 Gb/s, not SATA 6 Gb/s. Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkForgive me if I missed it, but should there be a benchmark showing performance consistency when factoring 25% spare area? Given AT's recent affinity for such benchmarks, I now expect to see it in every SSD review.
/rabble rabble! Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkIt's not something we test with every drive because for example all SandForce drives behave the same way. I've actually had these drives for nearly six months and tested them long ago but the write up was pushed back by more urgent reviews. I know I may sound lazy here, but I don't consider the BP3 or SMART to be the choice for many already given the fact that mSATA isn't very popular and I see the majority of buyers going with name brands, so I decided not to test performance consistency this time.
The random write speed is rather slow to begin with, and it gets below 1MB/s when tortured. Reply
fugu_ - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkIt would have been nice to see performance consistency benchmarks for the drive that used the Phison controller, especially since there are only a handful of options for ~250GB mSATA drives.
It's great to see any sort of reviews of lesser known drives. At the same time, it's a little disappointing that the perceived popularity of these drives stopped you from doing a more complete review, especially if you've had them for 6 months. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkYeah, I know it's not a proper excuse. This spring will be quite busy for me though, have plenty of SSDs to review and at the same time I should study for matriculation exams as well as university entrance exams.
I know I shouldn't be making excuses, but I hope you can relate to my situation. I try to cut as few corners as possible but performance consistency is just PITA to test (well, the actual testing is fine but making the graphs is just painful because Microsoft can't make Office that's fully compatible with Office for Mac... Anand does the graphs on Mac, so I have to do too or they won't be identical). After that it's time for awful HTML editing which I suck at, so that takes way more time than it should. Reply
Per Hansson - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkWell if this is the place where we ask you to do performance consistency tests before your exams I'm in :)
I would just love to see how the most crappy SSD controller of all; the JMicron JMF602 fares in performance consistency.
I think it would be a nice thing to look back at with what we know today.
Shockingly SSD's based on such controllers are still being sold!
http://www.prisjakt.nu/kategori.php?k=893#rparams=... Reply
lyeoh - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkYeah I'd like to see the performance consistency for the lower end or even crap SSDs.
Maybe even a few conventional spinning platter hard drives- low, mid, high. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkUnfortunately, I don't have any SSDs that old. The "worst" SSDs I have are Crucial v4, OCZ Agility 4 and Samsung SSD 470. I could definitely run something on the V4 and BP3 to see if Phison has done any progress in this matter. Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkI have a JMicron-based G.SKILL FM-25S2S-64GB sitting around doing nothing. It has a USB port so I sometimes use it as a thumb drive. I am more than happy to donate it to the cause. Just tell me where to send it. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Saturday, January 26, 2013 - linkI bet sending the drive to Finland will cost more than the drive itself ;-) Anand should have some older SSDs, so I'll ask if he could run some tests Reply
nathanddrews - Saturday, January 26, 2013 - linkI just checked estimates from FedEx and UPS... You are not kidding! I thought it would cost about $25, not $125.
Anand lives in southern USA, doesn't he? That should be very cheap. If he doesn't have one of these kickass drives, I'll send it to him. ;-) Reply
Kristian Vättö - Saturday, January 26, 2013 - linkAnand lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. He still has JMicron based drives (just asked him) and he'll run some tests once he finds one, so no need to send one :-) Reply
nathanddrews - Saturday, January 26, 2013 - linkCool, can't wait to see the results. Thanks, Kristian! Reply
Per Hansson - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - linkThat's nice Kristian!
I'm looking forward to seeing those results :) Reply
Tjalve - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkIve actually done some testing on performance consistency for my reviews over att Nordichardware.se
Theese tests are NOT done on a steady state drive though. But theese nuymbers give an indication on how I/O Latency are reflected i a real-world situation.
AND the graphs include some crappy drives like the Verbatim SSD 128GB and the Teamgroup L2 128GB.
I actually have steady state 4K Write perormance numbers (similiar to the ones here) on most drives aswell, but i havet published them just yet. Reply
Gunbuster - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWorkstation laptops. Going mSATA for OS often leaves you two other spindles for large spinning storage, another SSD or a combo of both.
Why? For Hyper-V devs or content creators. Reply
madmilk - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWorkstation laptops and DIY upgrading is quite a niche scenario. Most workstation owners (that is, businesses) would just build-to-order with the SSD, instead of risking downtime just to save a couple hundred bucks. Reply
critical_ - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI own a Dell M6700 with the ADATA SX300 mSATA SSD (256GB) and 3 Hitachi 7200RPM 2.5" 1TB drives in RAID5. While I'd like to think I'm the only person in the world with this configuration, that would be silliness on my part. :) Reply
Flunk - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkDIY upgrades are really what mSATA SSDs are for. They really don't make sense on the desktop. But I would argue that the performance desktop is just as much a niche market. As long as a market exists these products will too.
As for me I have a ADATA SX300 mSATA SSD (256GB) along with a 750GB HD in an Alienware m14x R2. Great way to get more storage into a system that couldn't fit another 2.5" drive without losing the optical bay. mSATA SSDs are very convenient now.
Hopefully everyone will standardize on one of the new PCI-E based SSD specs, but that's all future technology for now. Reply
Kraszmyl - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkConsidering almost all of dell and lenovos machines that came out recently have msata slots i wouldnt exactly call them rare and im sure the ultrabook people will move to them too.
That being said i would like to see them on more itx and micro atx boards. Reply
ssj3gohan - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkYeah, I'm super-happy with the mSATA slots on recent Intel mITX and mATX motherboards. It may seem like a small deal to some, but mSATA saves a lot of space and IMO more importantly: a mess of wires.
I've been able to build very capable systems with no wires blocking airflow and getting in the way at all in arguably the smallest enclosure commercially available, the mini-box M350. All because of motherboards supporting 19V input and mSATA. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkmSATA is already being phased out for NGFF/M.2, so I don't expect a lot of support for mSATA going forward. Apple, ASUS, and others already skipped mSATA to go their own routes, indicating the perceived issues from those manufacturers.
M.2 will hopefully bring more standardization and acceptance, and it would be great if ASUS, Apple, etc. used M.2 instead of proprietary connectors -- there are quite a few people that are ticked that UX21A/UX31A had review samples with SF-2281 ADATA drives and then shipping consumer models typically (maybe even only?) used SanDisk U100. Because of the proprietary connector, there's basically no way to upgrade from the U100. Reply
ssj3gohan - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI don't necessarily care whether it's NGFF or mSATA, as long as it's a cableless solution and there's sufficient availability of drives. Right now mSATA has good market penetration; I haven't had any problems sourcing tens of crucial m4 mSATA drives, even the most exotic 256GB variant. Same goes for myDigitalSSD's earlier offerings, which seemed to be in stock all the time (very short lead times).
As soon as NGFF is used or can be used on the desktop I'm perfectly happy using those as the ubiquitous boot drive. Reply
Voldenuit - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkExactly!
mSATA SSDs are a good way to add performance and capacity to a (compatible) laptop. And doing it aftermarket keeps the OEMs from ripping off the customer with their exorbitant upgrade prices.
I added a 128 GB crucial m4 SSD to my wife's Thinkpad X230T laptop to complement the existing 500GB hdd. It was far cheaper than configuring it with a 2.5" SSD from lenovo (there was no option on their configurator to outlay the laptop with a mSATA SSD instead) and far more versatile, as the single-spindle X230T is now transformed into effectively a 2-spindle machine (still no DVD drive, but we have an ultrabase mobile dock for that).
I wouldn't buy a modern laptop that doesn't have an mSATA slot today. Reply
cmikeh2 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWhile traditional forms of computing may not necessitate the smaller form factor future products like Intel's Next Unit of Computing with its 4 x 4 inch mobo only supports mSATA. Work in this form factor will allow products like NUC to be worthwhile. Reply
digitalzombie - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - link"the potential to grap a large share"
grap -> grab Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkThanks for the heads up, fixed! :-) Reply
kesh - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkJust a guess, but wouldn't there be a market for mSATA in embedded computing world?
I have an ongoing project of turning a broken (slim) CD player to a digital audio player, which has been going slow over a last few years, and when I first saw mSATA, I immediately thought it as the perfect storage solution for my project. Reply
ssj3gohan - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkAside from my usual remarks on using the wrong methodology for idle power consumption (use a DIPM-enabled testbench!), the mSATA slot uses 3.3/1.8V, while your 2,5" adapter provides this power from 5V via an LDO. LDOs are power converters that step down voltage linearly, i.e. 5V 1A in -> 3.3V 1A out (current is conserved), contrary to switching converters that, apart from efficiency losses, try to do this conversion losslessly.
This means that when you measured 5V 0.1A for the BP3, the actual drive consumed 3.3V 0.1A, i.e. 0.33W instead of 0.50W. Reply
magao - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI recently bought a new notebook specifically because it had an mSATA slot. It came pre-populated with a 32GB cache drive and 500GB hard drive.
I immediately replaced it with a 1TB drive and the largest mSATA SSD I could get (128GB OCZ Nocti). I put the OS on the hard drive, then configured the SSD as 32GB cache, the rest (~80GB usable) as data.
The stuff I use all the time was then installed onto the SSD (source code repositories, etc). Lots of small files -> SSD.
The OS + 16GB hibernate file are on the hard drive, which means that's space not being taken up on the limited SSD space. Instead the 32GB cache (which is about the same size as the OS + hibernate file combined) ensures the most-used blocks on the hard drive are cached. Of couse, the page file is on the SSD.
Writes to the hard drive are largely sequential as the caching essentially does write-combining.
I've used symlinks to move various settings to the SSD e.g. web browser cache, etc.
I periodically use Resource Manager to check disk activity. There is some write activity to the hard drive, but it's pretty minimal. Right this instance there are only 5 files listed as either reads or writes to the hard drive. I almost never notice that the hard drive is in use - nearly everything performs at SSD speeds.
Would I prefer to have an all-SSD system? Sure? Can I afford it? Well, I could, but I can get better bang for my buck by using the setup above, with very similar results. Reply
tk11 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI recently bought one for a Lenovo x230 that I chose in part because it featured an empty mSATA slot. For anyone willing to take the time to install a mSATA SSD for use as the system drive it's a very compelling feature. Reply
magnusoverli - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkHello.
First post at AnandTech... :-)
You say that you cannot see why any desktop users would adopt the mSata-standard, and although I can see that it was not initially meant to be a perfect match, I think it may be. It all depends of course on the individual users´ needs and other hardware.
I recently built a new server for multimedia streaming and backup purposes, and went for the ASUS Maximus V Gene mobo. It enables me to have the OS on an "onboard" msata-slot, and leaving all sata slots for data drives. This is, for me, the perfect combination of performance and flexibility.
I can see that others have commented and touched on related topics, but just wanted to let you know that desktop/server-systems and msata really is a beautiful thing!
M Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkExcept, as noted above, mSATA is set to be replaced by M.2 this year. That's where more SSDs and motherboards are likely to head in the future. Reply
magnusoverli - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkGranted that msata is a standard that is about to fade out, isn´t that the reality for just about any standard that has become, or is about to become, mainstream.
Also, how long does it take before a new standard is introduced, before it is ready for the main stage? There are only a very few users standing by being ready to upgrade when the first products hits the shelves.
Also, I think that one should maximize the usage of current technologies (within budget) and not stay on the side-lines, always waiting for the next big thing.
But, hey.. That´s just me! ;-) Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkDDR1/2/3, DVI/HDMI/DP, SATA 1 through 3, USB 1 through 3.
All the important standards are either very long lived (5 years for DDR3 now) or are backwards compatible or can be easily used with simple adapters. That is not the case with mSATA. It was niche to begin with, it stayed niche even when there was a big demand for fast, small storage in ultrabooks and tablets and now it is being phased out. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkBut can you use the six SATA headers on the motherboard simultaneously with the mSATA slot? The fact is, mSATA does not add SATA connectivity, it takes one port just like a regular SATA port on the mobo does. It's of course possible that there is a third party SATA controller that provides a few extra ports but those exist without mSATA as well.
Not trying to belittle mSATA and the comments here have been mind-opening, I seriously hadn't heard that people actually use mSATA SSD in desktops. Sure I've seen a few but it's good to heat that mSATA SSDs aren't just decorations. Reply
iwod - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkAssuming SATA Express will bring us performance of Today's top SSD in RAID, which still isn't fast enough for Apps to pop out, Startup and Shutdown to be less then 2 seconds,
is software the limitation now? Or we need faster CPU? Reply
Zink - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI'm running a mSATA drive from Adata in my Lenovo laptop and I love being able to pull the optical drive and run three drives in a normal laptop. Boot drive + data drive + hotswap drive for temporary projects. Reply
Chupk - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI love to read your reviews. And just want to give U thumbs up here knowing U R dealing with important exams at the same time while U R publishing high quality reviews.
It's interesting to know U R stuck with word processing & HTML editing! >.<
I have long passed my days in University & I'm working as a Consultant in a Hospital. Just want to say the exams U R facing R kinda important. They should be your 1st priority at least for the moment! Reply
Stranman - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkIt would be nice to see a comparison or charts of mSata only drives (apples to apples), not apples and oranges. If I'm looking for a mSata drive, I don't care to see standard 2.5" SSD drives listed. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI thought about that at first but the problem is that we have only reviewed two mSATA SSDs on top of these MyDigitalSSD ones. I do have a couple more in the lab now, so stay tuned for more mSATA stuff. I think it's also worthwhile to compare them to similar SATA 2.5" drives because there is a performance difference and some might go with the 2.5" because of that. Reply
Sp4rrowhawk - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI'm a big thinkpad fan. And while my T410 doesn't have an mSata bay, both the T420 and T430 do.
Also I own a home server and have a dedicated system drive. My (new) motherboard has 8 Sata ports or 7 plus 1 mSata port. As such I can't add one more drive but I can save up a 3.5" bay that would otherwise be used by my system drive. So I'm planning on buying one for that use-case. Obviously I don't need 256GB for my system drive though... Reply
ChristopherD - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkBeing a traveling photographer, speed and portability is always crucial.
mSATA SSD form factor coupled with an external thunderbolt chassis would be a great combo that I would purchase myself. When I have only 30mins to edit and backup a 100GB folder of photos/videos and leave a site an external SSD this small would be great. Reply
Sottilde - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkIt seems that the M4's performance is (surprisingly) just a bit worse than the BP3's, and the M4 mSATA is just a bit more expensive. However, I'm doubtful of the longevity of Toggle-mode MLC; the last review I read on it said that it was guaranteed for only 1000 cycles. In addition this brand has a bit of a dubious name.
Given those facts, which mSATA drive would you all choose? Reply
JeBarr - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkA full size ATX desktop board or even some mATX board users could make use of mSATA PCI-E x1, x4 or x8 with 1, 2, 3 or 4 drives in "raid". These add-on cards already exist but the price is out of reach for most outside of enterprise.
I'd much rather swap out a dead mSATA drive rather than purchase another Revo drive that slowly dies. Reply
SSDuser101 - Tuesday, February 12, 2013 - linkMyDigitalSSD has been around a while now. Since 2007 when they introduced the 1st upgrades for netbooks like the Asus 901 Mini PCI-e SSD.
They have been selling mSATA SSD longer than anyone with nothing but great reviews.
Also regarding Sottidle's post about Toshiba toggle nand. He must be thinking of TLC Triple Layer Cell Flash like what ships on the Samsung 840 drives because those do have around a 1K Cycle life span. On the contrary Toshiba Toggle NAND is the best on the market when it comes to MLC flash with a 5K R/W/E cycle minimum. Reply
systemBuilder - Saturday, June 27, 2015 - linkSince 99% of all macbooks are shipped with a disk drive that is too small, because of Apple's horrific pricing policies, well yes, there is a huge market for mSATA drives, but only for macbooks from 2014 and earlier. The new 2015 macbooks have new PCIe drives that run 3x faster, but are not compatible with mSATA. Reply

HOUSTON - The NBA All-Star game is in Houston this weekend and there are fun activities for all ages. NBA All-Star Jam Session is being set up at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
Jam Session is an interactive playground, of sorts. Fans can be part of the Houston Rockets' team photo, visit a miniature Hall of Fame and even take photos of themselves making a slam dunk. There is a special kids' zone with hoops and activities that are just their size.
Current and former NBA players will sign autographs for free, and fans may spot them among the crowd, too.
There will also be a giant NBA store where fans can but All-Star memorabilia.
Jam Session is open from 4 to 10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. Tickets on Thursday and Friday are $20 for adults, $12 for children ages 3 to 12, seniors and military members. Children age 2 and under are free. On the weekend, Jam Session is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Ticket prices those days are $30 for adults, $20 for children ages 3 to 12, seniors and members of the military. Children age 2 and under are free.

Acerca del libro
The Book of Dreams is a portfolio book that encapsulates a two-year photo project that took place between 2008 and 2010.
The project was a collaborative venture between me and participants who agreed to record their dreams via pinhole and written text. Each person was instructed on how to use the pinhole camera- the most basic and low tech form of camera that exists – and each person offered up an expertise that they have been born with: the ability to recall the hallucinatory images experienced during sleep.
The process was fairly straightforward and accessible: each participant took home my pinhole camera and set it up with the aperture facing their bed as per my instructions which were outlined in the back flap of the journal. Before tucking in for the night's sleep, the pinhole shutter was opened and the lights turned off. The person then went to sleep and dreamed. Upon waking, the shutter was closed and the participant recorded the contents of what was dreamed during the 8 to 9 hour exposure.
As an evolving book of dream recordings, the journal has the interesting function of acting as an archive of the people whose dreams are inside and an intimate story book that each contributor had the opportunity to read before adding their own entry.
The Book of Dreams is related to process, performance, and an attempt to translate the ephemeral experience of a dream into a tangible document through photography and writing.
