I was watching a review of a ssd lexar express card, which i have found to be very slow on writing speed. Anyway, this cornball from tiger direct, is sitting there bragging about how great this slow lexar is. When he demonstrates ready boost, i observed that the pop up window didn't look normal. This clown , says "Ready Boost is enabled, look" and the message on the screen says "this device doesn't meet the performance requirements for ready boost" its hillarious that he didnt realize that while blabbering on. this is an example of why no tiger direct. what an idiot... http://revver.com/video/365517/lexar-expresscard-solid-state-drive/

check it out its at about 2:30 on the video

when i was building my comp i got couple of things from TD, but i just hate them now after getting their awful email adverts in which they often LIE and exaggerate things . Also that dude is a douchebag .

TD doesn't have the great deals like they used to. Now it's all generic crap on sale and lost leaders on the good stuff. I also can't seem to stop the barrage of spam from them aside from blocking them.

Betcha he uses one of those great $30 ULTRA power supplies that are SUCH a better deal than the Corsairs as well. Slimebags, all of them...

The only time I buy anything from TigerDirect is if I'm needing it in a hurry. Anything I get from them is Next Day no matter what (close to one of their distro centers), NewEgg is usually 3 days. I've definitely noticed that they don't have very many GOOD deals anymore, their reviewers are always full of sh*t.

Once you buy TG you find out how crappy they are in prices. They also suck at rebates.
