    Re: Win a 1TB Seagate FireCuda 510 NVMe SSD

    Just looked at prices for 1TB NVME drives, and these seagate models sit at the very high end, almost 2X of what i would buy if i was paying myself.
    Though that will also net me a slower drive on the E12 controller, but still quite fast drives, and for almost 1/2 the price i would have no problem with that.

    If i win or buy a drive like this, i would be able to retire my SSD, which are also just 256 GB so really not much to brag about, and still plenty space for the games and programs i would install there.
    So having my Samsung 970 evo 500 GB take the spot of my SSD would be sweet, and getting a new 1TB C: drive instead.

    MY spinning disk are a seagate too, and it wouldn't mind company ;-)

    Thank you Seagate for providing this desirable bit of kit, and thank you Hexus for yet another opportunity to win one of these goodies.

    It has to be my turn to bag it, so never mind the draw date, just console the other contestants now and rush the gift-wrapped item to me...Lol..!

    I'm sure there's plenty of US-based tech websites who offer competitions that are state side only. That's just the nature of things, really.

    Just had that moment when I realised I have gone up an age band since my last hexus competition.

    Getting old and still not winning.

    The Winner was emailed and hasn't replied to the systems' auto email yet!

    A reminder will be sent, and if no reply is received after 7 days.. a new winner is chosen randomly
