HotHardware.com "Giving Thanks" - FREE STUFF!

Hi All,

Got my Hot Hardware shwag today, Nice Shirt! Thank You HotHardware! 

Hey Guys!

How do the thumb drives and case badges look?  You all should have gotten 1 thumb drive and three case badges each too. :)

Thanks!

Dave

The case badges are awsome and i love my blue flash drive.  Packaging said 256mb but its 1gig and i used HD tach to get some speeds on it.

 Random access time is 0.8ms

Avg Read speed is 16.2mb/s

Burst speed is 16.8mb/s

 This thing owns my 3yr old Kingston 512mb flash drive that reads at 7.2mb/s RAT at 0.8ms, and my work PNY 1gig flash drive that was lucky to get past 5mb/s read speed and had a RAT of 2.4ms.  Portable firefox runs alot faster on the HH drive, and it doesnt lag when my portable IM is being used at the same time.  Woot!  TY HH.

Whoa, I wasn't expecting all of that. Hopefully I'll have mine soon. : ) 

Thanks guys I got the T-shirt but i haven't wore it. My wife took ownership and I' was laughing at her because the statement is true! Hottest PC(Piece)of hardware and of course I have tested and you know the rest :p

Thanks HH's  

 Hi All,

Like Drago my Flash drive said 256Mb but is also 1Gb. The Case Badges are Sweet!

Whoa, Drago... the drive itself is 1Gig?  Shhh!! don't tell anyone heheh..   So the outside of the package says 256MB and they sent us 1GB sticks?  I do believe that was a favorable mistake then.  LOL!

 I'll be sure to wear my shirt with pride.

Thanks guys!!!

Hi All,

Don't worry Kid, just as soon as I finish my shift I'll have my Fiance take some pics of me in my HH tee shirt & post it here in this thread.

Technically no one has posted a pic of them wearing their HH shirt, putting it on your woman dont count bro ;)  We will get pics up soon, still trying to get this busty blonde i know to put it on so i can snap a pic.
 

Drago:

putting it on your woman dont count bro ;)

Shouldn't it count double?

Drago is not my fault she took ownership of it!!!

Will post pic soon... need to borrow friends cam :(

I usually don't like to put stickers/badges on cases, but I put the HH badge on my 900 with pride & will snap pic of that too!

1gb drive will come in handy indeed and loox cool as well... thanks alot guys!!!

 Drago hit it right on the money, the sticks are 1gig and are labeled as 256mb.....which means it will replace my main flash drive....I think I have a total of 4 and this one is my favorite.  I wore the shirt the day I got it and it truly is an awesome t-shirt....oh and the badges are pretty sweet too!  Well, I must say thanks again HH for everything not only the free stuff, but for being a sweet forum in general.  In all the years I have been here, the one thing I always wanted was an HH case bage, however now i'm all HHed out.  Thanks again!

 Got my Christmas schwag bag yesterday. T-shirt, case badges and like everyone else the flash drive said 256Mb on the package but was actually a 1Gig drive. I like the switch-blade style of the usb drive the metal part with the HH logo is actually a pretty cool idea. I've lost 3 caps to different drives already. Thanks..

Thanks guys I got my stuff in too. I put 1 of the case badges to use right away. My fiance keeps saying she is gonna steal my flash drive though so I better figure out what I can use it for before she does. Never had to use 1 before so what do ya'll use your's for? The shirt looks awesome I just hope it don't shrink in the wash cause I got a L and if it shrinks at all I am going to be posting a pic of a nice tight shirt for ya'll.lol. I am sure it will be fine. thanks guys for everything.

I keep ZoneAlarm, AVG antivirus, and some anti-spyware/adware programs on a flash drive. After I do a fresh install of Windows on a computer I just plug-in the flash drive and install the protection without having to first connect to the internet.
