I actually stopped selling on Ebay for a while now. It used to be great to unload used pc parts when upgrading but it really left a bad taste when I sold a brand new sealed box keyboard and made the mistake of baking the shipping into the price (as ebay would advise when listing to get more...
My 6S is right around 2 years old from new. I remember in the past, a full charge would last me pretty long (several days sometimes) because I have very light use. These days though, if I leave 100% charge in the morning sitting on my desk and don't use it, it'll use 30%+ charge by that same...
Have you actually used one before? I went from the exact SSD in your signature to my current drive and there is absolutely a difference. Not an earthshattering one but it's there.
OP: If you are wondering whether it's worth the extra cash, it's probably not. It IS faster but you always pay a premium for the best and that premium is generally more than the added benefit you get.
Thanks. Would love the Essence STX II (my brother has that with his Paradigm Signature bookshelves) but that card can't take the 3x 3.5mm from my Z5500s. I ended up getting the Strix RAID DLX since it's around the same price range and I don't need to wait a month for the AE-5 to launch.
Thanks, all great info. SBZ is what I have right now. It's decent but not all that great, so if I buy something to replace it, I'm hoping for something better. Does it compare well to ALC1220? Also, any thoughts on the upcoming Sound BlasterX AE-5? I hate that they only have an LED version...
Out of curiosity, I could also go the other way and just buy a new sound card. My brother has an Essence STX II but I can't use them since it doesn't have the 3.5mm outs I need for my Z5500 (unless someone here knows how I can get around that). I don't know that I really want another creative...
Is cost a consideration? While X299 should be faster, if cost is something you value, a Ryzen system would be much better bang for the buck for what you're doing.
