  Yes please~

Once I dragged my friend to listen to the HD800 (and a bunch of other ones). His benchmark song on whether or not the headphones are good was Only My Railgun~
 
Now I use that song to see if anything clips. :p

Well,

I will just wait until the last episode is out. Don't want to wait every week.

Sorry that I'm not familiar with those numbers but may I ask what is that DR rate means? Just the loudness or how good or bad it recorded?

It is more the the difference between the loudest and softest parts of the music
 
I don't think a low DR is always bad but a high DR typically represents music with more dynamics like Classical or well recorded acoustic etc.

Maybe better that way. Last ep is normally the performance and the animated orchestra heals all wounds.

FTFY.
 
Almost all of the anison waveforms I've seen looks like a fat caterpillar... with a few exceptions.
 
btw, I test audio rigs with Kancolle OST. The mastering is pretty darn good~

I honestly have no idea how a flash game got such good music....

Well I don't think all of them are that bad...
 
To me a DR6-7 is considered "okay" LOL

Well I think I should stick to Hitachi/HGST next time since it hadn't failed me before LOL

Better to go with some redundant storage if possible. Every HDD will eventually fail, and at least for me, for the same price as a single 8TB HGST drive I got 3 WD 4TB MyBooks which gives me a little bit of parity even if it's not as reliable in the end. If the one HGST drive fails your files are dead, but at least this way maybe you could recover it.
 
  I actually got capped today for our home internet(slowed to 256kbps but basically unusable), we used up the 1TB quota with only 2 days to go until the next roll-over. Luckily, they allow 3 free top-ups per year. XD
 
Boy, it was just yesterday our bandwidth limit was 10GB....I remember blowing a quarter of that streaming Love Hina in one night some 12-odd years ago...

Ergh, thanks for reminding me when I get back to the US I'm going to get shafted with a new arbitrary 1TB cap on my internet service thanks to Comcast "starting their testing" on it in our area. Dunno why they suddenly feel like putting a cap on it when their operating costs surely haven't gone up that much, they haven't done anything to improve service quality/speeds in the last few years to warrant the jump in price...
 
Remember dial-up, where you couldn't even watch videos unless they were like 144x144 and 12fps?

Yea I would actually plan for redundant storage with 2 4TB HGST in RAID 0 but right now finances are pretty tight so I have to stick with my HGST for now

I was referring to buying some cheaper drives than HGST ones, like 3 2TB Seagate or WD low-end drives and then putting them together in Raid 5 for some redundancy. Raid 0 has no redundancy and actually doubles the risk of losing your data because you'll lose everything if one of the drives goes out. :p

oops I meant to say RAID 1
 
I am thinking HGST cause right now the reputation of WD in local hardware forums ain't very good, worse than Seagate in fact

Could always go with Seagate then I guess. Probably a lot cheaper than HGST per drive if it's like the US market...

Anybody have suggestions for what to get at Comiket 91 this year? Eve and I are going but tbh I have no idea what to get lol

lol, remember the internet noises you hear when you pickup the phone?
I was way too small to know anything about computers back then so that's pretty much all I remember from that era.

parity RAID is not such a good idea with low-end drives because if one drive fails, it will read all data from other drives to rebuild, when that happens, its likely that a 2nd drive will fail...

my two WD greens from 5 years ago are still holding strong :)
been running them in RAID 1 for a long time until recently I switched to btrfs RAID with 5 other random 500G notebook drives.
 
I've only recently got my first Seagate drive because of bad reputation and WD green is almost always cheaper here...
