I used food service gloves while choppin' my nuts and avoided the fearsome walnut stains. Kind of goofy advice, but I figured I should add a little something I learned after all the knowledge from Jim and Trillium. Thank you so much!
They do give a walnut stain (ha ha) to your cutting board and hands.
Cheers in December,

Nov. 16, 2012
MADISON, Wis. - Still searching for that one win to assure them a .500 record this season, the Wisconsin volleyball team will take on the bottom and the top of the Big Ten Conference this weekend at the UW Field House.
Although clearing the .500 mark is the first hurdle for the Badgers (16-13, 4-12) to earn consideration for an NCAA tournament berth, head coach Pete Waite knows his team needs to give all it has these final four matches, including the two this weekend against Iowa and No. 9 Nebraska.
"We know we've got just four matches remaining, and our goal is still to make the (NCAA) tournament," Waite said. "We've probably got to win two or three of these four to make it and have a shot at it. Our team is going to be working hard for that."
Friday, Wisconsin will face the last-place Iowa Hawkeyes (10-19, 2-14). Iowa has lost its last 10 matches, including its last eight by 3-0 sweeps. It was a match Oct. 13 though that nearly gave the Hawkeyes their third conference win, with the Badgers just narrowly pulling out a 3-2 win.
Iowa has also shown they can beat a top team.
"Iowa has the one win against Purdue," Wait said. "Which is a shock to everybody because Purdue was in the top 15 at the time."
Sophomore Alex Lovell, a 5-11 outside hitter, leads the Hawkeyes with 3.17 kills per set. Junior Rachael Bedell, a 6-1 right-side/outside hitter, adds 3.01 kills per set.
The Badgers have won their last five straight against Iowa and have lost just once in Madison since 1994.
The second-place Cornhuskers (20-5, 12-4) meanwhile represent the cream of the crop in both Big Ten and national play when they come to Madison Sunday afternoon.
After dropping a pair of matches two weekends ago, Nebraska is back to its winning ways, defeating Indiana and No. 21 Purdue last weekend.
"Nebraska is doing well," Waite said. "They've had some good wins, but they also, a week before, took a couple of losses at Michigan and Michigan State, where we just took two losses. Those two Michigan teams are playing very well. Nebraska is a very formidable team."
The Huskers dropped matches after senior Hannah Werth, a 6-1 outside hitter, got injured at Michigan and also missed the entire match at Michigan State match. Werth ranks second on the Nebraska team with 2.89 kills per set and leads the team with 3.28 digs per set. Senior Gina Mancuso, a 6-1 outside hitter, leads the team with 3.44 kills per set and also has a team-best 28 service aces (0.29/set).
Wisconsin fell to Nebraska 3-0 in mid-October, extending a 14-game losing streak for the Badgers. UW has won just a single match against Nebraska in 16 meetings. That win came more than 34 years ago, in 1978.
"It's just going to be consistency and fighting at the end of each set," Waite said. "Because in each of the matches, we're playing to about 18 to 20 points right with the team, and we haven't been able to finish out and close out those sets."
Friday's match with also mark Senior Night as the Badgers thank their three senior members, Alexis Mitchell, Mary Ording and Bailey Reshel.
"We're real happy our fans can send them off and see them on Friday and honor them," Waite said.
Friday's match against Iowa begins at 7:30 p.m., while Nebraska and Wisconsin face off Sunday at 1 p.m.

This past January 16, high officials in South Africa issued a report documenting the impact that poaching activities in the year 2013 had on the country's rhino population.
On its website, the World Wildlife Fund says that, according to said report, over 1,000 rhinos were tracked down and slaughtered by poachers in South Africa in the year 2013 alone.
More precisely, it would appear that the country lost 1,004 animals belonging to this species.
The green group goes on to detail that, although poaching activities were documented all across the country, the Kruger National Park was by far the region that was hit the hardest.
Thus, it is said that as many as 606 rhinos inhabiting this area lost their lives after having a very close encounter with illegal hunters.
The World Wildlife Fund goes on to explain that, in the year 2012, a total of 668 rhinos were reported to have been killed by poachers in South Africa.
Otherwise put, it seems that, for some reason, illegal hunting activities in South Africa pretty much boomed in 2013.
"The South African government today revealed that a record 1004 rhinos were killed by poachers during 2013 across the country, the equivalent of nearly three animals a day," the organization writes.
"The annual poaching figure is a sharp increase from the 668 rhinos lost in 2012, and brings South Africa's rhino populations closer to a critical tipping point when deaths will begin to outnumber births driving the animals into a dangerous decline," it adds.
To make things even worse, the South African government says that the year 2014 has not been off to a very good start either, at least as far as keeping poachers from killing rhinos is concerned.
Specifically, its report shows that, since January 1 until now, a total of 37 such animals have been killed and stripped of their horns.
"The bottom line is South Africa's rhinos are up against the wall, facing a genuine crisis and agreements like these have to translate into meaningful action on the ground," argues conservationist Dr. Jo Shaw.
Researchers estimate that, for the time being, this country is home to 80% of Africa's overall rhino population. Hence, efforts must be made to protect its biodiversity.

Michael Bloomberg & City of New York: Settle the Lawsuit with the Central Park Five
On April 19, 1989 the world came to a screeching halt for five teenagers. On that fateful night, five Harlem teens were arrested and subsequently charged with raping and brutalizing a female jogger in Central Park. Not until 2002 would all five be free from prison, after serving a combined total of 44 years for a crime, the world would see, they never committed.
As the Central Park Five were hauled off to prison, another young man would go on to rape at least four more women, killing one pregnant mother in front of her children. Matias Reyes was 17 years old in 1989 but it would take him until 2001 before he would admit to raping and beating that jogger on April 19. He assumed she would die as more than 80% of her blood stained the ground of Central Park.
Following Matias Reyes' confession and DNA match in 2001, the Central Park Five's convictions were vacated. But by that time, they had grown into men, several of them completing their prison sentences.
They each lost anywhere from 6 to 14 years of their freedom at the hands of the city and NYC has yet to offer any apology, let alone a monetary settlement. The group filed suit against the city in 2002. Eight years later, the city has failed to move on their case. Some are blaming "foot dragging city attorneys" for the hold up. What exactly is causing the stall-out isn't clear but something must be done.
New York State Senator Bill Perkins recently sponsored a bill asking for the recognition of the five men and compensation for their wrongful conviction. City Councilman Charles Barron attends rallies for the five and states "We should push Mayor Bloomberg" to take action. It's clear that Mayor Bloomberg and the attorneys for the City are quite content to allow the situation to stagnate. Let's show them that the country won't stand by and allow this injustice to continue. Take action by showing your support for the Central Park Five.
The fact is, these men deserve more than a simple recognition--they deserve compensation. Their civil case has been stalled for numerous years without logical explanation and that fact is simply unacceptable. Eight years after their release and 21 years after the night of their arrest, Kharey Wise, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCrae, and Yusef Salaam deserve justice.
Senator Bill Perkins recently sponsored a measure asking for recognition and closure in this case that serves as a black eye to the city's justice system. I ask that this measure be passed and also that the city take the initiative in giving these men what they unquestionably deserve. Sitting on this case will not make it go away. The nation is watching as the city of New York shows total disregard for what's right in regards to the Central Park Five. Please stop sweeping this case under the rug and address it accordingly.

Kirk was shocked to find that it was he was the punk which was a magnificent moment in his development, where he had to pause and re-evaluate everything.

South Coast protests genetically modified food
COOS BAY, Ore. -- The health effects of genetically altered foods are an ongoing debate nationwide, and a co-op in North Bend is urging people to say 'No' to genetically modified food.
It's been said, "you are what you eat," but with the rise of genetically modified organisms, Americans don't always know what we're putting in our bodies.
As pf now, it's not required by law to label foods that have been genetically altered.
Deb Krough is with the Coos Head Food Co-op, and says that needs to change. "It needs to be labeled," she said. "People have the right to know what they're eating for their own personal health and their family's health."
In more than 60 countries around the world there are restrictions on the production and sale of GMOs.
Here in the US, the government has approved them.
Some say current policy was made with information only showing the benefits of the food additive.
Some who disagree with the policy say they feel they have to take matters into their own hands.
Some people did just that over the weekend, when about 150 people showed up on the Coos Bay Boardwalk for a protest.
The event was Saturday afternoon, and there is no word yet on any future anti-Monsanto events in the area.

The Pregnant Bride: Should a Couple Commit?
by Moms

Girls grow up dreaming of their wedding so why would an impending babe tarnish the fairytale? LilSugar will help pregnant brides make their visions a reality this wedding season with tips on everything from how to cope with morning sickness on the big day to flattering ways to pose for photos. But first, we're wondering if you think a couple should commit before their child is born or wait and see how things go after baby debuts?

I know a couple who just got married this spring. They have a daughter and had a sweet ceremony involving her. A shot-gun wedding was unnecessary.
deekai 5 years
While it's nice to say you should get married for the sake of a family, it isn't a statement that should be taken in such general blanket terms. My bro & his pregnant girlfriend got married and it ended in a horrible divorce, keep in mind they had only just finished high school and it ruined their chances of college which was just too much to keep a family stable. If you were in a long & solid relationship and planning on getting married in the future that's fine, but certainly not for two 17 year olds, or some one-night stand situation. And I agree with myself. :)

I agree with bpdawson! It's a sad sign of the times that so many people take such a selfish attitude towards by not wanting to form a family and a home for their children and do what it takes to make it work.
bpdawson 5 years
Every child deserves a stable and loving home. It's generally not a good sign of things to come if a pregnant couple takes a "we'll see how things go" attitude before the baby is born. Things don't get any easier once the emotional roller-coaster of parenting begins. I think a commitment beforehand is a wonderful testimony of love and devotion to the relationship and their baby.

My husband and I got engaged and set our wedding for two years in the future. 11 or so months before our wedding, I got pregnant unexpectedly. We believed we had fertility issues, and had decided to give it a rest for a while so it didn't become a more stressful. Pretty much everyone expected us to get married before she was born. Why? I had chosen to get married on a specific date, the day we became serious, and finally getting our little girl wasn't going to change that. I got married 2 months after she was born.

Marry when you want to get married, not because you are pregnant. If you were going to do it anyway, fine. But don't feel obliged to give birth in 'wedlock'. That's the wrong reason for such a commitment.
Bettye-Wayne 5 years
I'm sure some couples are ready, but I didn't get married when I got knocked up and I'm glad I didn't. The break-up was messy as hell, I can't imagine what a divorce would have been like. Though it's great there are more stylish options for mommy-brides.
kia 5 years
If the couple is not sure of their intentions towards each other then wait. Divorce is messy and just adds stress to the kids' situation. IMO think of the child first and their needs.

The entrants lined up at 9.00am to parade their concours cars through the prestigious Kuwait Marina. As a location for a concours, there's little doubt that it hits the spot – the backdrop of multi-million dollar yachts and skyscrapers is astonishing, while crowd that clapped the cars on was appreciative and knowledgeable.
This year's line-up is a truly international selection, with the best cars coming from Europe, the USA, Japan and the Middle East. The cream of the selection is undoubtely the special-bodied cars, such as the gorgeous little Zagato Alfa Romeo, Ghia Fiat and Lamborghini's amazing Miura Spider.
The concours judges are knowledgeable, too. Designers Leonardo Fioravanti, Tom Tjaarda and Chris Bangle all made guest appearances, as did celebrated Lamborghini test driver, Valentino Balboni. And there's a great atmosphere at the event – a real case of East meets West in a shared passion for exquisite cars.
Enjoy the images. Full event report to follow.

How would you wear gilded bronzer? Is it a good bronzer for all over? Or is it to dark for pale skin?
MAC Surf Baby! SkinSheen Bronzer Stick Tan-Tint, Guilty Bronze: Swatches, Photos
Skinsheen Bronzer Sticks from the Surf Baby Collection are creamy bronzers in a stick form for easy application. I have two of the three to show you- a soft, suntan bronze, and a coppery bronze with gold shimmer.
Tan-Tint, Guilty Bronze
Guilty Bronze
Tan-Tint, Swatched right from stick (left), blended into skin (right)
Guilty Bronze, Swatched right from stick (left), blended into skin (right)
The Skinsheen Bronzer Sticks from this collection are super creamy and blend wonderfully! Tan-tint is an excellent shade for pale people like me to get a nice glow in the contours of the face. I would apply this product before powder (after foundation). I do want to note that a little goes a LONG way! These are really, really creamy and just swatching initially i had WAY too much product on my hand! If using these I'd recommend either lightly patting it onto the areas of your face you want to use it, or even using a brush on the stick and then applying it. These also have an amazing wear time, which is great for summer!
Also worth mentioning- these are VERY similar to the NYX Tango with Bronzing Sticks, although the MAC ones are quite a bit creamier.
These are available for $29.50 each May 26 from MAC Cosmetics.

They both look pretty!!
I love these, I have Tan Tint and it is perfect for adding a nice glow to my skin.
i don't like cream products besides concealer and foundation, my skin is so oily already, i don't like the feeling..
30$ D: I might get this though seems like a product I need

I complain whenever someone suggests making food, unless I'm fairly certain I can weasel out of doing much work. It always bites you in the ass around cleanup time but you've got to fight through that. I dated a girl who wasn't much of a cook. I dated a girl who was - against all odds - even less of a cook. I dated a girl who loved that shit, and over time she roped me into it. I dated a girl who let me do almost nothing; the contrast was a symptom; the contrast was a catalyst. Now I'm dating someone else again, and we cook together as follows:
- To us it seems great, because we complement one another's styles in the kitchen, and share a certain culinary sensibility. I'm a relaxed person under those circumstances, and because I comport myself like a thirteen-year-old half ape/half child it's always a little unexpected when I bust out any grace, and it's good to keep some grace stored up for just such an occasion. She's efficient and remembers things, and has a deft touch with food when it's more demanding than couscous; she puts a stamp on things when she wants to, but lets me choose the music.
- To an outside observer, basically, we're assholes. We gorge ourselves half the time on boxed couscous and Annie's mac'n'cheese. The calories we consume would fell a horse. I say this lovingly, mind you.
When we do get our act together to make something more complicated than powdered cheese and ready-to-serve pasta, we do quite well for ourselves. My most cooking-addicted XGF had a particular spicing regime of which she was fond, and it lent our kitchen creations either consistency or a certain monotony, depending on how you look at it. Hell, I liked it; but then again I was shacking up with a nice girl, and was too lazy to cook for myself. Plus I'm a philistine when it comes to food. In any case, the current GF - and make no mistake, though the previous post here was also about this girl after a fashion I have no intention of making this a 'Wax gushes about a girl' blog anymore than I intend to make it a 'Celebrate the achievements of the wise and just George W. Bush' blog, capisce? - in any case, she's considerably more flexible on the matter of the spicing regime. Rosemary rarely appears in our recipes, which opens things up a bit. At least relative to the quantities in which it was used previously, viz., enormous quantities. Or so I remember.
[Digression of a sort: I also remember us - me and the XGF in question - arguing constantly for a period of months. This almost certainly did not happen. So my memory is faulty on this matter and should not be trusted. Still when I tell you she fucking liked rosemary, I mean seriously, what are you going to do? Argue with me?]
Tonight we concocted a vegetarian chili from scratch, which isn't hard or impressive. I went out into the scrotum-tightening cold to buy cornbread (on a bike) (is why it was cold) (me, not the cornbread) (was on the bike) (though we had to warm that up too) (no not my scrotum) (though as I said before: brrrr) from Whole Foods, and came back to find the chili immaculately spiced, with nary a molecule of rosemary in sight. Some alarm in her monkey brain had sounded: use cloves in the chili. She responded with alacrity, and so: farewell to the ancien regime! I don't mean to self-horn-toot here, especially since the masterstroke wasn't my work, but that was likely the best veggie chili I've ever had. The cornbread topped it off, and from me and my scrotum a hearty you're welcome.
[Second digression: the word 'vegetarian' in there should probably be underlined in dripping red ink or something. Historically I'm an unrepentant and enthusiastic carnivore, and until now I've had the foresight and you might even say pith to date the same. Hell, I even shacked up for a while with a French Canadian sailor (by way of Maine) (yes a girl, this isn't that kind of blog) who could probably have taken down a moose with her bare hands, had regulations and social custom allowed it. There was never any question, in that particular dyad, about whether meat would be on the menu. She's married now, which makes me feel only slightly old. In any case, dating a vegetarian is...oh for God's sake, this isn't really a digression at this point, so we'll just pop outside the square bracket,]
like so, and yes dating a vegetarian of (to put it diplomatically) loose-limbed eating habits had the expected effect at first (I ate a lot of macaroni and cheese) and then an unexpected but salutary effect indeed: I've been eating goddamn vegetables all of a sudden, and it's good, I like it. When we go out I'll sometimes have meat, and when I'm alone I invariably get my protein jones going, but at home it's all veggies and soy and something called Quorn that can be made to look like chicken or beef but is actually a fungus, which yes, yuck just like you'd think but actually it tastes OK. I'm coming around to a basically veggie life half the time. Or you might say: I'm learning moderation vis-a-vis the meatlings. No longer a beeftard. And other red-hot neologisms. Next step: moderation vis-a-vis, um, bourbon and the Internet. But then how will you get your fix, loyal Reader(s)?
There was to be a bit here about shared enthusiasms and her smile and shit like that, but honestly I'm kind of feeling another digression coming on, a real one I promise and not some faux digression like the last one, for which sorry dudes, and I'll even stick it in the middle of this sentence -
[ - the second verse of Wilco's 'Shot in the Arm' is just about the happiest thing you can imagine, with those silly lyrics, 'We fell in love / in the key of C / Walked along / down by the sea,' and of all things a kettledrum on the pickup to the downbeat after the first line, like remembering the first and best and longest-lasting kiss of your stupid life, you lucky dog, but I've written about this before - ]
- so as not to disrupt things totally. The flow of things I mean. Looks like I dropped the ball on that score though, because there's not a whole lot else to say now that I'm paying attention to the music instead of these words. Veggie chili: good for the soul and to a considerably lesser extent the arteries; and a symptom and a catalyst as well. And there's plenty left over for tomorrow, thank you heaven, and I think I'll take some cornbread to work too, chili cornbread a banana and a dollar for a drink, which sounds just about perfect.
One last thing before all that though. There's a feeling that comes sometimes when I'm writing or playing music, which translates loosely as it all might turn out to be something as long as I keep my head down and my shit together. It's a creative feeling, generative, and it lends momentum to whatever it is I'm/you're doing. Look we've shifted to a kind of ersatz direct address where I'm like, 'you're doing' but I don't know who you are, except that you're my Reader(s) and precious to me. Would that I could make you up in my head and take you with me imagined when I go off to write in a coffee shop or something, but those are Radical Solipsist moments. [Shit, I went digressing without intending to. I'll pull it together right here as best I can, and here we go, back into the point of this last paragraph as soon as we come back from the square brackets, wait for it, wait for it, go.] You get that feeling at the strangest of sometimes. Whether it elevates the mundane into profundity (unbloodylikely) or renders the wannabe-profound merely mundane (yeah), I am here to say this: I experienced that moment of generativity while cooking and eating our veggie chili, and I'm not ashamed to say it. Or rather I am obviously ashamed, but like Camille Paglia I can't help thinking a little shame is good for you, and before this becomes a Radical Solipsist moment I'll stop with the yakking, and good night good health enjoy your leftovers.

This review we're presenting today examines Kingston's HyperX 3K 240GB SATA 3 SSD. This is a new SSD model from Kingston that claims to be a reliable and cheaper alternative to Kingston's standard HyperX 240GB SSD, that we've tested two months ago.
This new SSD uses the same controller as its big brother, the Sand Force SF-2281, so the results we're expecting are pretty much the same with the ones obtained with the original HyperX 240GB SSD.
So what's different? What makes the HyperX 3K more affordable than the original HyperX?
The explanation is right there, in plain sight, for everybody to see, but it's not quite detailed in Kingston's own papers. After reading HyperX 3K's official specifications, the buyer must head on to read the original HyperX 240GB specifications also and only then, if he pays enough attention, he'll notice the difference.
The difference is the fact that, on the original HyperX 240Gb SSD, the NAND flash chips are certified by Intel to handle up to 5,000 PE cycles. That means that the NAND cell will be reliable for 5K program/erase cycles.
The NAND flash chips on the new HyperX 3K SSD are only rated at 3,000 PE cycles.To help the average user better understand what this means, we'll get a little more into details here.
If the SSD is using 5K PE certified NAND flash cells, it means that the drive can be written/erased and then written again around 5,000 times. Sure, the SSD's chipset and firmware do have wear leveling technologies, and these will not use the same NAND cell too often before it uses all its PE cycles and dies.
Even so, there are considerable differences to take into account when buying a less durable SSD.
Older NAND flash cells used in the first generations of SSDs were certified for 30K PE cycles. If we consider that a user completes a PE cycle of the entire drive each day, it means that a 30K certified SSD will last for around 82 years, a 5K SSD will last for 13.7 years, and a 3K one will last for just around 8.2 years.
Generally, the average user will not burn through an entire PE cycle in one day, especially on a 240GB drive, but the 3K series from Kingston are targeted for the budget-minded gamers, as the company's own marketing material says.
A budget-constrained gamer might actually go for a 120GB or 60GB version and use it as the OS drive with one or a couple of games installed on it. You can easily imagine that burning through the whole size worth of PE cycles in one day is a little bit too much on a 240GB drive, but it might actually happen on a 60GB version.
If the user is switching games from time to time, moving them in and out of the SSD as he gets tired of them for the day and wants to play some other, the one PE cycle per day usage might be too conservatory.
The same would happen with a photographer or architect who works with huge files. It's understandable if they might actually copy onto the OS drive SSD the files they're working on and then, when having finished working, move them back on the HDD to make room for the next batch. This type of usage really happens every day when power users are concerned.
If the budget is tight as to only allow for the 60GB or 120GB versions of the SSD, the budget-minded power user using the 3K as an OS drive might actually burn through those 3K PE cycles that the HyperX 3K is capable of.
There are manufacturers that recommend some solid state drives for OS drive type of usage, mostly SLC based models, and some even deter buyers from using other models, usually MLC based, as an OS drive.
The HyperX 3K comes with a 3-year warranty, so serious power users are completely covered if they manage to use more than three whole drive-wide scale PE cycles a day. Otherwise, in the next 7 years they should consider buying a new SSD.
Editor's note:
Moderate users like myself should not worry about their OS drive expiring, at least not in the next 10 years – even when using a HyperX 3K as the system drive. Sure, I'd most definitely go for the 120GB version, as the 60GB is much too tight, but I wouldn't worry about it for the next decade.
There probably are cheaper alternatives, SSDs using inexpensive asynchronous NAND flash memory, but Kingston has done a good job for its clients, as the HyperX 3K uses fast synchronous NAND flash memory and so are all the premium SSDs out in the market.
On the firmware side, the Kingston HyperX 3K comes with a newer version of firmware than the original HyperX drive. This one is called 5.01AABB0 and seems to have been supervised by LSI's specialists, as it behaves somewhat differently when compared to the original firmware revision. The differences are small, but they are present and, surprisingly, help the 3K version sometimes get slightly better results than the original.
Package Contents and Design
Kingston's HyperX 3K package comes with a deluxe installation kit with screwdrivers, SATA cable, blue installation bracket, a USB2 enclosure and a software CD.
The screwdriver should come in handy for the average user and it's a nice souvenir for the enthusiast or any collector.
The blue installation bracket helps the user install the 2,5" drive into a 3,5" bay.
A 5,25" adapter would have also been nice, but we shouldn't complain, as Kingston's retail package comes with an external USB enclosure that will help you transform your current laptop drive into and external pocket size HDD, should you be installing the HyperX 3K on a laptop.
The enclosure is USB 2.0 unfortunately, so there won't be too much speed available. Most laptop drives, slow as they are, do deliver at least 40 MB/s read and write speed, and that's clearly above the bandwidth offered by an USB 2.0 port.

The Test Setup
In order to test the Kingston HyperX 3K Solid State Drive, we used the same Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 motherboard built around Intel's X79 chipset. We had a newer BIOS version this time, but the PCB version was the same 1.0.
We ran some tests using the motherboard's additional Marvell controller just to see how it would affect the performance results, but the complete batch of benchmarks presented here were recorded using Intel X79's own SATA III 6 Gb/s ports.
The X79 motherboard was powered by an Intel Core i7-3820 processor, a quad-channel 8GB Kingston HyperX quad channel memory kit and an ATi Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, as 3D graphics was not the focus of our review, and it's a popular video card that's found in many systems desiring an SSD upgrade.
The operating system was Microsoft's Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Edition.
Performance Testing
HDD Tune 5.0 Professional Edition
This is a very popular benchmark and a very useful monitoring tool for hard disk drives and for solid state disks.
The screenshot to the left illustrates how the drive performed when it was in pristine condition, fresh out of the box.
The drive was initially partitioned, force of habit maybe, but the partitions were empty and then were erased to enable write testing.
As there was no data written on the drive, the test pattern was very consistent and stable, but the average performance was quite a bit below the official statement of 555 MB/s sequential read speed.
Our HDD Tune test only managed to get an average of 342 MB/s from the HyperX 3K.
We wanted to retest the SF-2281-driven SSD, to show how fast the performance degradation would rear its ugly face even when the SSD was used just for some hours' testing.
You can only imagine how it would look like when it's 80 percent full with data and has been used for two weeks.
Here's the HDD Tune 5.0 normal read test after testing the HyperX 3K with HDD Tune's own write test and a batch of AS SSD 1.64 testing.
You can easily see that the average speed is now down to 298 MB/s and that the read graph is significantly oscillating.
The average user is not going to spend his time issuing TRIM commands every two hours, and he's definitely not going to use only 10% of his newly acquired SSD to make sure it's not too full to keep the high performance.
This is close to what happens in real-life usage of a SandForce based SSD. The performance degradation is something that the user should really take into consideration.
Below is the HDD Tune 5.0 Pro Error Scan Test. This is a useful function of the HDD Tune 5.0 Professional software. It scans the entire drive looking for obvious errors.
The starting speed is a high 350 MB/s and, while this level is much higher than the one of an ordinary HDD, it is not going to be the same until the end of the drive. Once the test encounters some sectors that have data written on them, the speed is dropping accordingly, just like in the normal Benchmark mode of HDD Tune.
Therefore you can see clearly in the previous two screenshots that the scanning speed goes down below 300 MB/s and oscillates around that mark.
HDD Tune's normal write benchmark shows a write performance of around 300 MB/s but we all know by now that this can only be counted on when the SSD is in a fresh, clean, empty state and it's not really what happens when the SSD is full with data.
Anyway, there's quite a difference between the 510 MB/s sequential write speed claimed by SandForce and Kingston and our HDD Tune result of 293 MB/s average write speed.
In the Random Access Read test we can see that speeds close to the claimed 500 MB/s are indeed possible with the HyperX 3K.
If the transfer size is between 0.5 KB and 4 KB, the average speed will sit in the 6 to 24 MB/s range. When going for a 1 MB transfer size, we managed to get a 476 MB/s, but if the transfer size is random we would get a slightly lower average of 442 MB/s when reading data from the drive.
The following screenshot shows the write version of the Random Acces benchmark.
If the transfer size is between 0.5 KB and 4 KB, the average speed sits in the 6.1 MB/s to an improved 68.9 MB/s range. When going for a 1 MB transfer size, we managed to get a 475 MB/s, but if the transfer size is random we'd get a slightly lower average of 424 MB/s when writing data from the drive.
In HD Tune's File Benchmark, using the ZERO pattern, we managed to get those high 500 MB/s speeds, although we never got to the promised 555 MB/s sequential read speed, nor the 510 MB/s.
We only managed to squeeze out a 472 MB/s read speed and a 470 MB/s write speed.
Using the RANDOM pattern, the read speed was the high 472 MB/s, but the write speed quickly went down to 310 MB/s, as can be seen in the two screenshots above.
Moving on to the popular AS SSD benchmark, we start with the standard test that gave us a 507.92 MB/s read speed and a 312 MB/s Write speed.
We would like to remind our readers that we've never reformatted or manually trimmed the SSD in between tests. Everything was left the same to show you what a SandForce SSD can do in an as close to a real-world scenario as possible.
The partition on which we ran the test was around 50 GB in size; it was empty and was situated next to another empty partition that only had HDD Tune tests ran on it previous to the AS SSD testing.
The total AS SSD score was 727 points.
To the left are the results we got from our 120 GB Kingston HyperX SSD that had had the operating system installed on it two days prior.
You can see that the write speed is almost half of what the HyperX 3K is able to pull, and that the final score goes down accordingly, to around 500 points.
Going back to our HyperX 3K SSD, we continue with AS SSD's File Copy test where the drive managed to put out high speeds around the 200 MB/s mark, as you can see in the left screenshot above.
On the right upper screenshot we compared the results with what our 120 GB standard HyperX has to offer and were surprised to see that the ISO file copy test yields a higher speed, of 306 MB/s. The rest of the tests showed the expected results, that sit below the HyperX 3K 240 GB drive.
In the left upper screenshot there's the AS SSD compression test for the HyperX 3K SSD and in the right one, just for comparison's sake, the results from our own 120 GB HyperX 3k SSD.
Futuremark Corporation PC Mark Vantagex64 Edition
Futuremark's PC Mark Vantagex64 Edition gives mixed results – some tests reveal that the 120 GB HyperX is sometimes better than the HyperX 3K 240 GB drive. However, when it comes to the overall HDD score, the HyperX 3K 240 GB can be declared a winner, with 47,772 points, over the 46,989 points that the 120 HyperX managed to score.
The screenshot on the left illustrates the results attained by the HyperX 3K, while the one on the right shows the ones obtained by the 120 GB standard HyperX. Underlined are the tests where the 3K proved its superiority.
Simple Windows File Copy Tests
We will end our review with some basic, simple, user-friendly tests that show what the average user is to expect from the HyperX 3K 240GB drive.
Bottom line, we had two big files, weighing around 11 GB each, that have been copied from the 120GB standard HyperX onto the Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB.
Since the task is a sequential one, the screenshot confirms HyperX 3K's ability to write files with an average speed of 300 MB/s. The 120GB drive is doing all the reading, so all that the HyperX 3K must do is write to incoming data.
In order to irrefutably demonstrate that the new HyperX 3K performs better than his little brother, we repeated the test backwards, copying huge files from the HyperX 3K, onto the free partition on the 120 GB standard HyperX.
The standard HyperX is only able to pull a 172 MB/s result when writing incoming data.
Sure, the average user or – as Kingston put it – the budget user, is not going afford buying two different SSDs for one system, so we considered it's only fair to test HyperX 3K's ability to copy the same big files from one partition to another, on itself.
When having the HyperX 3K 240GB doing both, the reading and the writing at the same time, the result is an average file copy speed of 168 ~ 170 MB/s.
Kingston's HyperX 3K 240GB proved to be a very good SSD with good overall performance.
Its cheaper NAND flash should not be a concern for the average 80% of users out there, as we honestly think a lot of conditions must be met to be able to burn through the 3K's NAND cells in less than the expected 5-year usage.
The price of the HyperX 3K in its 240 GB version sits at around 340 USD, which is around 260 EUR for the European buyers.
We hope the price will go down even further, so that other SSD manufacturers get some real quality competition from the HyperX 3K series and force them to bring to market faster products. Most of them are reeling on a low price, with no serious regard for performance.
