With the rise in popularity of the best SSDs, many people have started to write hard drives off as a thing in the past. That’s a mistake – the best hard drives offer huge amounts of storage at prices that SSDs just can’t match. If you have a giant library of music, video or even photos, it’s a good idea to look at a traditional hard drive for all your archival needs.
Regardless of what you need the storage for, nobody wants to pay full price for what is essentially old technology, no matter how useful it is. As with

Jessica Dolcourt/CNET
The coronavirus pandemic might mean that the IFA 2020 tech show, usually held in Berlin every year, is mostly being held as a series of online events, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t as many neat new gadgets being launched.

Apple-Samsung Jury Told Not to Upgrade Gadgets Received as Evidence
Jurors hearing arguments between Apple and Samsung have been warned not to accept software updates or install apps on mobile gadgets they receive while deliberating the merits of the patent-infringement case.
The case, which has been in front of the jury since the beginning of August, revolves around several questions of design – both physical design of the device and on-screen design of items like icons – so it’s important that any updates to the phones and tablets don’t alter their look and appearance.
“The physical devices you received are evidence in this trial,” said U.S. District Court Judge Lucy

How An OJ Simpson Trivia Game Found Its Way Onto A ‘1000 Games For Windows’ CD From 2001
1000 Games for Windows is a shareware compilation disc once found in the Harvey Norman bargain bins of the early 2000s. On the surface it appears to be a fairly standard disc filled with a variety of smaller games and programming experiments from around the world. On it, there’s classic kids adventure games like Jiji and the Mysterious Forest, a copy of Earthworm Jim that’s likely illegal and demos for a bunch of popular games like Indy’s Desktop Adventures and SimCity 2000.

“I love their D-line. I think they’re really good,” Clemson junior left tackle Jackson Carman said. “They’re probably the most experienced in ACC as far as like across the board.”
