Real Engineer vs Tepi Jalan Engineer

ok, let me tell you all the readers a story of engineer tepi jalan. lolz

Those that are familiar with hard disk will know what I am talking about lolz

Here is the scenario : You start your PC, suddenly S.M.A.R.T. error came out, indicating your drive is no longer fit and need checking. You saw it, what will you do?

Real Engineer : Immediately took out the hard disk and do inspection on IDE/SATA/SCSI/SAS controller/cables and the power supply and etc.

But I do saw 1 Tepi Jalan Engineer do 1 thing : "OK la, this 1 pass la, lets go ahead testing with other drives"

lolz, this may sounds impossible, but its actually happening lolz......

Moral of the story : Don't simply admire a person just because he has Engineer title, you have to dispise him if he is doing things like Tepi Jalan Engineer lolz.

New Toy : Kingmax 8GB U Drive (thumbdrive)

Just got my new toy today : Brand New Kingmax U Drive 8GB thumbdrive. It may not look very cool, but it has a glossy chrome finishing that is quite a fingerprint magnet.

Lets go and see the picture first.




Many people consider Kingston pendrive is the best value. Previously, I was thinking like that too. Now? Kingston just normal to me. Here are the reasons:
1. Kingston 5 years warranty vs Kingmax Lifetime warranty
2. Kingson 14/7 MB/s vs Kingmax 30/12MB/s speed (read/write) (the speed may save you a lot of time when you are urgent/have big files to copy)

Don't believe? See tests I did below. All genuine.

New Toy : Cooler Master 2.5" X Craft 250
