Friday night topic: The coming doom of Canon and Nikon?
I
have been very satisfied with the progression of digital camera
technology over the years, and its development has allowed us to produce
some very nice visuals in our reviews here at TR. I've dutifully
upgraded my DSLR every so often and enjoyed better results each time.However, I have become increasingly convinced in recent years that the traditional camera heavyweights, especially Nikon and Canon, are facing a major problem.

Corsair's Carbide Series Air 240 revisited
Corsair's Carbide Series Air 240 case put in a good showing in my full-length review. I liked its relatively spacious interior, its dual-chamber cooling design, and its quiet demeanor, all of which come at a reasonable price of $90.
One thing I didn't get to test, however, was the case's cooling performance (and noise levels) with all of its stock fans in place. Part of the Air 240's claim to fame is ...

The SSD Endurance Experiment: Two freaking petabytes
More than a year ago, we drafted six SSDs for a suicide mission. We were curious about how many writes they could survive before burning out. We also wanted to track how each one's performance characteristics and health statistics changed as the writes accumulated. And, somewhat morbidly, we wanted to watch what happened when the drives finally expired.
Our SSD Endurance Experiment has left four casualties in its wake so far. Representatives from the Corsair Neutron Series GTX, Intel 335 Series, Kingston HyperX 3K, and Samsung 840 ...
