Cooler Master 250 (with one touch backup)

Oh my god!! when I first look at this external hard drive. It is dam nice. The pouch that include in the package is dam nice. It is like a small cd case. The pouch is very spacious it can fit two external case.

Inside the pouch on the left the hard drive is securely strap. On the right it have a small pocket that enable a usb cable to be store nicely and I personally thinks that the usb head should be keep in the pocket to avoid scratches to the hard disk case.

Dam it is nice!. This case have a mirror finish on it case. you can see the light reflect thru it's body. Because of the mirror finish it give us a solid look not like cheap plastic case.

The back part of the case. As I know the previous model have the e-sata support but due to various complain from the coustomer Cooler Master have come out a new model without the e-sata support. It also have a 5 V dc jack. I don't really understand why it need the jack. USB power should be enough but it is diffrent case if the output is e-sata where user need to supply a 5 v dc to the case. I just wondering when will the 5v dc jack will serve it purpouse maybe never.

As you can see the body is full aluminium and it is mirror finish and this effect have its drawback where fingger prints will be seen on the case after some time of usage. So guys remember to keep your hand cleen before you touch this case. Oh almost forget in the package it also include a micro fiber cloth for you to wipe the case after usage.

Head to head. The Cooler Master 250 lite vs the Cooler Master 250 (with one touch backup). The Cooler Master 250 (with one touch backup) look nicer than Cooler Master 250 lite. I think it is because the mirror finish on The Cooler Master 250 (with one touch backup).

The Cooler Master 250 lite without the mirror finish looks plane but The Cooler Master 250 (with one touch backup) looks solid.

The X logo is remove on the The Cooler Master 250 (with one touch backup) and it is repalce by a small long rectangular button. Both still use the same LED, blue and red.

A back up cd also include.

Cooler master 250 lite

My external 2.5" hard drive Western Digital and the cooler master 250 lite external case.

Pouch for the external hard drive is include. Black in color and the pouch is hard it seams like they put a hard cardboard under the pouch layer.

The connection use a 2 head usb to a 4 pin usb. Oh ya, the hard disk installation is quick and easy. I just need to unscrew a screw and plug in the hard drive to the case board and put it back in the case.

The blue LED is surprising bright. The light indicate the hard drive is on.

A transparent plastic crafted in X shape. Look nice when the hard disk lights up in the dark.

A purple color light (red+blue) lights ip when data is transfer to the hard drive.

Backup

How do you guys back up important data?
1. Hard drive
2. CD/DVD
3. Pendrive/ Flashdrive/ Thumbdrive

As for me I prefer external hard drive as they can store more information. I also use cd/ dvd to backup my movie. I prefer to use a 2.5" external hard drive than the 3.5" because the 2.5" is small and did not require additional power supply adapter.

racquet 2


As for my racquet I am using the Yonex muscle power 21. The question here is how do we choose the right racquet?.

First know what type of game that suit you. It means that you are either a defensive or attacking player. Then secondly check your budget. An expensive racquet does not mean that it is suitable for you. Go to the shop and try the racquet, try hold it and swing don't let the sales person choose for you, you can ask for recomandation but try to feel the racquet yourself. Your wrist must not feel pain or heavy when you swing the racquet. If you feel pain or heavy then the racquet is not suitable for you.

If for beginner just get a cheap racquet and train with it. When you get better then switch to a good racquet. The cheap racquet usually is made of steel and this is usually heavy. A good racquet is mostly made of light material like carbon or titanium or graphite.

A racquet for Yonex, we can know the average price and the quality of the racquet by looking at the bottom of the racquet and see where it is manufacture. If it is made in china then it is most likely a beginer racquet, if it is made in taiwan or japan then it is a good racquet. The most expensive one is made in japan.

A racquet can last for quite a long time if you take good care of it. Rough playing and droping or knocking the racquet to a hard surface can cause the racquet to crack. A good grip at the racquet handel is recomanded. Grip is material mostly made of ruber or wool. Keep the racquet in the bag after usage.
