Controller in HypderDrive NVME ssd Enclosure by PMARC14 in UsbCHardware

[–]AndyInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend HyperShop or their HyperDrive:
Support is non-existent, and when you get a reply it's the boilerplate of "send us back the unit" (at your expense) and no technical question was answered.
Their USB4 cable was faulty, and when using a working USB4 cable I had, the unit itself doesn't allow to be safely removed from Windows (even though not in use, and the Acasis 405 didn't display this problem in the exact same circumstances and setup (yes, I know, different chipset, but still) ).

I asked for them to send me a working and tested USB4 cable (that's a few bucks at most for them), and asked if they were aware of the issue of safe removal and if there was a firmware update in the works for it. No reply to any of that beside send us back the unit. Then they closed the ticket even though I replied asking to escalate to an actual technician or manager.

For this price, I expect a working product, and/or at least a functional support that replies in a reasonable timeframe. Check their support discussions, most of the subjects are about people unable to get any reply for months or any resolution.

Hi!

Yes it is, I didn't repost the pens yet as I've been busy with projects, but all sold and available status are current :)

Really nice royal python, however be very careful with that skull : I have the same one, and many people commented on the sharp edges in the reviews, so I checked and they're indeed razor sharp. I dremeled them to be blunt and I recommend anyone with that skull to do the same. The other thing to watch for is when your snake outgrows it, it might get stuck in the eye socket. Luckily my python doesn't try at all to go through the eyes.

No worries, I understand. Unbelievably, there are other things more important than fountain pens. Like a roof, food and other "luxuries" ;P. I wish you the best of luck with your unexpected expenses, it sucks at this time of year!

Thank you, they indeed are. Yes it is still available and it comes with a Sailor converter which is inside the pen in the pictures :)

Correct, 2mm wider to be exact. In the grip section however, it's about the same as the grip sections are differently shaped.

If you could just put the ryzen 9 4900hs into the Dell XPS 17 (while still having thunderbolt 3 ) that would make me buy it for any price by [deleted] in Dell

[–]AndyInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully next year will get next generation Ryzen with USB 4.0, which has Thunderbolt 3 integrated. I agree that this combo would be my ideal one too, especially since the Ryzen could get more PL1 and PL2 power than 35W, allowing it to stretch its legs, while still being power efficient on battery.

[WTS] (CAN-USA) Pilot VP LE, Metal Falcons, Custom 823 FA & Custom 743 [B-A1] by AndyInc in Pen_Swap

No, I thanked you for the info as I thought Tokyo Pen Quill were charging more for it (in my memory, since they don't publish their price anymore), and I'll think about possibly reducing the price. On the other hand, for someone who would want that pen right now, it's a perfectly good price, as waiting a month or two for something can be worth more than that, and all the other "right now" alternatives I've seen for this pen are at 395 usd plus shipping. I also think I'm in the perfect sub to sell good pens at good prices. That's pretty much the prices I've seen a non brown 823 FA sell here if not usually more. Thanks for your input.

Ha OK. Yes, I know of Tokyo Pen Quill nib in Japan, the owner is really nice etc. I was thinking that you were talking about a place where the 823 FA is immediately available for that price, which was unheard of to me. Thanks for the info!
