    Yeah there is more then 1" gap which is good for PSU air intake. Yes my mobo has inbuilt wifi module but the included antennas are small and I get low signal strength so I bought bigger ones from Aliexpress.

    Looking for 1tb internal HD

    Update: The drive (Toshiba 300) was promptly delivered by kharidiye seller and I have been using it since 3 days without any issues. Drive feels solid and heavy like my WD Black whereas my Seagate 7200.14 is thin and lightweight. As per my research, it has 4 heads and 2 platters. DOM is July...

    Looking for 1tb internal HD

    Is it P300? I have spent a week researching on 2tb HDD for my desktop and here is what I have learnt. WD Green and Blue have been merged and some people say WD blue's quality has degraded lately. Also they are using 5400 RPM spindle for 2TB drives and I prefer 7200 for desktop and 5400 for...

    Upgrade laptop storage with caddy

    @whitestar_999 @anupam_pb I have just checked the BIOS settings of my desktop and SATA Operation is set to IDE instead of AHCI. I think thats why my Samsung SSD is performing slower then expected. Now to change IDE to AHCI, I have to modify registry keys then change in BIOS. If it doesn't work...

    Upgrade laptop storage with caddy

    I'd suggest Kingston A400 240GB which costs same as WD Green (around 2.5k) but it has R/W speed of~480MB/s. My brother got it recently for his new Dell 5575 laptop from OnlySSD/PrimeABGB. I have Samsung 860 EVO 250GB in my desktop PC and it has R/W speed of ~400MB/s, even though I paid almost...

    Yep and on which element its present. Its easy to remove and clean front and rear elements but inner ones are tricky. Update: Today I got the Nikon Trendy Cap and its awesome. Design is different then shown in picture but still I like this yellow color accent and quality is also good.

    Let alone 4000D and 2000D, Canon has launched 1500D and 3000D here! I don't understand why Canon is bringing 4 models in entry-level segment. This will make targeted buyers confused.

    Even I don't know what happened that day but it happened quickly. All the neighbors had come on my house terrace to see the moon and were chitchatting. I was so confused. :???: The blue Moon is too dark to focus properly and city dust pollution makes the visibility worst. I guess either slow...

    Lunar Eclipse, taken from my house terrace. It was difficult to get sharp moon. Phase detection is somewhat accurate but contrast-detection in live view keeps hunting. Manual focusing takes more time and patience. Taken on Nikon D5300, AF-P 70-300mm Lens, Tripod and Remote. Aperture: f/6.3 |...

    Yep, the first one has very noticeable noise and I didn't tried to reduce it in post-processing. Indeed, AF-P 70-300mm lens takes sharper photos even at lower shutter speed and wide open. With the 55-200mm, I had to keep shutter speed equal to or greater then focal length and f/8 to get similar...

    Yep but anything more then 300mm are expensive and heavy. I don't think its possible for me to use or afford so will stick with 300mm for now. :)
