Power Consumption

Idle power consumption is pretty high for the Intel SSD 330, while active power consumption is middle of the road. Unfortunately if you opt for the Samsung SSD 830 instead you get better idle power consumption but worse active power.

Drive Power Consumption - Idle

Drive Power Consumption - Sequential Write

    After sending a link to this article to my friend and quoting a sentence (we both follow Intel SSDs, and I bought a 710 300GB based on AnandTech's excellent review), I noticed that AnandTech has begun using the JavaScript thing that infects copied text with "read more at". (As explained at http://daringfireball.net/2010/05/tynt_copy_paste_... , although the "service" provider may be different here.)

    I am *extremely* disappointed to see AnandTech tarnishing its image with this nonsense.

    yea, this is a pretty annoying "feature"

    Hmm this isn't intentional, let me see what's going on.

    Take care,

    Here's the culprit:

    <script src='http://i.po.st/share/script/post-widget.js#publish... type='text/javascript'></script>

    i.po.st just got 127.0.0.1'd

    Good thing it doesn't work on my browser. :)

    While it uses compiled Javascript, and I'm too lazy to reformat it, http://i.po.st/static/script/post-copypaste.js is presumably the issue (And blocking that domain gets rid of the problem).

    This is included directly in the source of the article page ("script src='http://i.po.st/share/script/post-widget.js#publish... type='text/javascript'").

    Fixed, our content sharing partner (po.st) enabled this by default in their latest update. We've stripped it out.

    Take care,

    And this is why I continue reading Anandtech. You guys are really in tune with your audience and you don't like to annoy us. Thanks for staying awesome!

    I know. I'm such a fanboy. I don't think I'll ever find a site as awesome as Anandtech.

    Wow, thanks!
