Win! a Samsung 830 SSD
Don't forget, folks, you still have a chance to win one of Samsung's rather desirable 830 SSDs in Reg Hardware's latest competition. Samsung SSD830 240GB SSD Very desirable We were rather taken by the Samsung 830 - we reviewed it here - which is not only capacious but also comes bundled with some powerful and very useful …

Don't bother if you're not in the UK <EOM>

I assume you meant post code there. You could have saved yourself the trouble:
¨Terms and Conditions: Competition closes 30/09/2012. You must be 18 or over and resident in the UK to be eligible.¨
Can you please stop doing competitions for things I've just bought... first the HTC One X, now this!!
Is that one of your researchers following me around?

Really?
Re: Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but....
Does that mean we're stuck with those wanky samsung adverts on here until October?
Re: Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but....
What adverts?
Deliberate Trick Question?
The disk reviewed was, presumably, 256GB. But the options are Mb, Gb and Tb. Since the closest option is out by a factor of 8 (bits vs bytes), where's the "other" option? (I'm not going to argue the size of the byte also being architecture dependant this time, that would probably be a bit too facetious. ;) )
Re: Deliberate Trick Question?
Nice one! It really hacks me off the way people seem incapable of getting that right. Especially on a tech website.
Tb
If the drive is 256GB, which answer is closer, 256Gb or 256Tb?
Re: Tb
Gb is still closer by far (1/8 as opposed to 1 000/8 [or 1 024/8 depending on the choice of base unit]).
I'm not from the UK, but I'd recommend y'all wait till they review the one with the 520PB/s sequential read speed.
Background image?
Are the three people in the background pic actors in some prime time "comedy" coming our way sooner rather than later.
Who the hell?

I was wondering who they were, too. Maybe they're El Reg editors?

The one with the beard could pass for Lester (Tree-Hugging hippy gone to seed ) :P
I see what Samsung did there....
SSD830 240GB?
Could they be more deliberately confusing?
By the time this is won, SATA 4 will be out
Can't believe that the closing date for this compy is 30th September - over 3 months away! By then, a new Samsung model will be out, this 830 model will be half the price it is now and finally someone will draft a spec for SATA 4 (we can hope), making all current SSDs obsolete :-)
Still, I entered it anyway - can't have enough SSDs in your drive bays if you ask me. Next time, set a closing date in terms of weeks and not months, especially for rapidly changing tech.
You are an international site...
... so post the damn thing outside UK!
