As you may have noticed from previous posts, I have been buying components for a new PC. The sentence below is taken from the technical specification of one of the components I bought:

"Thanks to psychoacoustic optimisations like the Vortex-Control Notches, the new SCD Drive System and [ ]’s premium-grade SSO-Bearing, the [ ] achieves exceptional quietness and long-term stability."



Who can guess which component this describes? No googling.

Vortex makes me think of graphics cards, so I'm sure it's not that!

I think I'll agree with LoA, as it's complete bollocks!
