Re: What have you just bought?
I know, but can you believe the Samsung software won't do a diagnostic scan on an 850 Evo, so it's time to maybe upgrade anyway.

crystaldiskinfo should tell you if the cells have write time left and how many have been retired. Unless there is a fault or you constantly write data you may be surprised how long they last. What you bought anyway ?

Topcashback has £2 bonus today on a £10 spend so grabbed a Tesco £10 voucher because free money is free money with no effort.

Warrior Rage pre-workout
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XLGV8...sin_title&th=1
I usually buy non-stim as caffeine often sends me on a right bender but as this was on offer I didn't pay attention to the fact it had 300mg of the stuff.
It arrived this morning and took some earlier before the gym, and I've been buzzing like Cornholio (for those who know) all afternoon.

Just over 10 years old so just out of warranty.
Crystaldiskinfo gives the health as 65% so it's on it's way.
Bought one of these, but from the manufacturer not Amazon. So far so good, happy with it as the PC isn't used much anymore apart from as a media server.

Re: What have you just bought?
A new dishwasher (last month) and a new washing machine (today) - both broke down, both beyond repair.
On the bright side, found a reasonably priced and responsive* local company who can come out and check these things out (recommended by friends and relatives) - they’re not getting the business for the new machines, because they didn’t have the models in stock we wanted, but if they had, they would have taken the call-out charge off the delivery & installation charges for a new machine.
*came out next day
