    I won!

    I just thought I'd let everyone know.. I entered the Hexus competition for the PNY SSD drive and Power Brick and then forgot about it until one day when I was checking my email and I got an email saying I have won - I never win anything so it was a nice surprise and I told everyone I know!

    Thanks to PNY and Hexus and the other sponsors!

    Nice. Thanks for taking the time to share that with us, hopefully you'll get the time to do some mini reviews on the items, or at least some first impressions.

    Congratulation! Those little power packs are most useful. Where's the SSD going to end up?

    Thanks - I don't know where I'm gonna use the SSD drive yet. Maybe in one of my old laptops and see how fast it will make the ageing laptop feel.

    Regarding the Power Pack, it's nice and solid! It comes with a short USB cable that has a (mini?) USB connection on one end that you use on Android phones so that's a bonus as you don't need extra cables with you.. but for iPhones, you will need your own USB cable.

    And according to the box, it can charge an iPhone once from empty to full. And it's right! I recharged my empty iPhone using a fully charged power pack and the power pack was empty when my iPhone showed full. It's definitely gonna be useful when I'm out and needing to top up my phone.
    It's a small discreet size as well which I like.

    Re: I won!

    Thanks. I have to admit.. I tend to just come in here when I need to upgrade my machine and I need to research them first... but I'll try and come here often from now on (new year's resolution?! )
