Ahh now I would like to be in both draws please and would use as per the following.

I would dangle the ssd on the end of a piece of string in front of the IT guy that comes into our business when we have problems just so I could watch the look on his face when I pull it just out of reach every time he goes to grab it.

I would use the power bank to charge up a capacitor and shock the aforementioned guy just because I would like to tongue-out

The SSD would be used to upgrade a desktop from HDD to SSD (overdue), the charger would be used by an assortment of family gadgets - Galaxy S2, S4, S5, Tab S 10.5, PS Vita...

Just the SSD please, would be used to upgrade the somewhat aging Laptop and breath a bit of life back into it.

I would love having both. Needing a new drive for my (girlfriend's) MacBook as I often take it with when I want to edit my shots while travelling. The powerbank is a next thing on my list to get for my hiking needs. I do love spending my time in the middle of nowhere, but I like to take my gadgets with me for the occasional listening to music or playing Real Racing when patiently waiting for the best light when shooting landscapes.

Put me in both draws please. My laptop is 7 years old with a hard drive that's full so its in  need of an upgrade and the power bank makes good sense with today's smart phones. I carry two of them.




that would be an ecumenical matter

SSD will be a laptop upgrade and I dont have a powerbank yet so that would be really useful.

Either would be great but especially the SSD to fix my son's laptop, which he dropped while it was going. It is slowly dying and and his piggy bank is in danger of being raided to get it fixed.

I, too, would like both.

The Super Sexy Drive would create a speedy Windows that would make me the envy of the house

The powerbank to stop the missus complaining it's my fault when her phone has lost it's charge after a busy day shopping.

Cheers

I would look at upgrading the retired nieghbours computer with the SSD. The power bank would be fantastic for my 7 year old who goes through the battery on his tablet really quick.

I have a Sony Laptop at home that would benefit from a SSD. My PC at work would be another candidate. HDDs are so last century!
