Summer Tires, SSD
On friday my old 500 GB SATA hard drive started to bite the dust. Weird stuff would happen - fail to boot to windows, blue screen of death, black screen of death on login. I ran Speeddisk and found the SMART had failed on 2 critical areas.
I went out on Saturday and bought a 500 GB SSD hard drive (Samsung EVO 850). They're not cheap, but I figured I would give a larger drive a try. After failing to clone my backup to the new SSD, I had to build from scratch.
The performance is astounding. Boot times went from 90 seconds to 10 seconds flat.
Performance is incredible. I hope it lasts though.
So my Bridgestone Turanza EL400 tires I had on the Mazda 3 last fall were very worn - maybe 50% tread left. I did some checking against Canadian Tire and found their cheapest tires were about $99 - 135 a piece. I found a person selling new Sailun Atrezzo SH402 tires for $365 for four. (About 91 each. ). Managed to get rid of my old tires in 30 minutes by advertising them for free on Kijiji.
