    RAM Issues on X58 Boards

    I had this issue on my asus p6x58d-e with 6 x 8gb sticks. I was getting about 32gb of memory showing up when I definitely had 48gb available. I would sometimes have to move pci-e cards around to prevent memory from disappearing or use different types of cards. I took apart all the components...

    1366 x58 Xeon Enthusiast overclocks club

    damnit. so I checked this thread randomly after not being on hardforum for years. and guess what, my x58 asus board with a 980x is reporting 16gb out of 24gb and my overclocks have needed ridiculous amounts of voltage to even be unstable. so I think I'm throwing in the towel on x58. what is the...

    Serious thread: Best way to store 40 petabytes

    this on its own is a ridiculous idea. in 1000 years, they'll store all 40pb on a single "hard drive", what hard drives are in the future. you only have to worry about 50 years tops, and transfer it from there.

    nothing. I plugged them in and that was it.

    Migrating from one LSI MegaRAID card to another

    it really should have no problem, I went from 9260 to 9265 with no issue. my only advice would be to keep trying.

    LSI 9271-8i RAID controller used in a MicroATX build, good idea, or not?

    you won't have issues with overheating, just make sure your graphics card doesnt' get in the way and it will be fine

    recommend Pcie RAID card pls

    9260-4i with fastpath

    8 to 16 SSDs RAID 0

    buy a fusion-io card on ebay, they are cheaper there

    8 to 16 SSDs RAID 0

    LSI can boot, I doubt they have any compatibility issues with samsung. they can definitely handle 8 - 16 raid arrays. get fastpath as well.

    Best way to move OS from RAID0 SSD to single SSD

    I don't think there's any point in changing from raid to AHCI if you run a single disk.

    Best way to move OS from RAID0 SSD to single SSD

    longer, and you have to reconfigure everything. (and it shows you had absolutely ZERO backup plan in place). I don't see what the point of backing up is if you're going to reinstall your OS. sure you can have a backup plan that only covers documents, but having one that covers programs and...

    Fastest Theoretical SSD Build?

    there is no drive in existence that out performs the read 4k QD1 on fusion-io iodrives. I've seen quite a few pci-e reviews of the enterprise stuff and have never seen 20k iops on 4k qd1. according to http://www.storagereview.com/ocz_zdrive_r4_enterprise_pcie_ssd_review the fusion still wins...

    Do you use over-provisioning, and if so, how much did it improve performance?

    I do use over provisioning. I took 60gb drives and made them 50gb because I didn't have access to trim in the raid array they were placed in. Performance will not increase much, it will just prevent WRITE performance from declining due to all the cells being filled and never cleared. As to...

    it depends what you want if you want the fastest 512b / 4k queue depth 1 experience, fusion io, hands down.

    Confusing myself with RAID 0

    you have to be careful, some firmware updates can be destructive you can just split your drives and update them on another computer and put them back together, but if the firmware update did any breaking, you'd be a bit in trouble

    9265-8i and GTX Titan not compatible

    I have to run my LSI cards in the first slot always. needs to be in 8x mode. it's possible your graphics card is negotiating for 16 lanes and then the lsi card is getting stuck in 4x or 1x mode somehow, motherboards have diff rules for it. I run a 5870 and a 9265 on an asus board, that's what I...

    SSD: 1x 128GB or 2x 64gb in RAID 0

    exactly half, but reading is more important than writing. combined, they will be equal.

    SSD: 1x 128GB or 2x 64gb in RAID 0

    too bad the read performance on a 64gb m4 and a 128gb m4 is exactly the same

    SSD: 1x 128GB or 2x 64gb in RAID 0

    except they are full of it. smaller ssds only have performance issues on writing, not reading. and considering you have a limit of 3gb/s, you can hit the full 6gb/s speed by raiding, where you'd be stuck with 3/gbs for sequentials without raiding.

    SSD: 1x 128GB or 2x 64gb in RAID 0

    raid your ssds. they will be faster than a single drive in all scenarios when it comes to reading.

    do I really need a sas expander card

    purchasing 4 raid controllers for 32 disks is the most ridiculous post I have ever seen here. some higher controllers can support something like 128 disks on their own. get an expander. nobody needs 4 pci-e slots for only 32 drives. a motherboard that can support 4x/8x in 4 slots is going to...

    Most affordable 70TB solution?

    10gb is a waste, if you must connect multiple machines together at faster than 1gb speeds, get infiniband for much less and better performance. to handle parity, get an expander and an LSI 9266 or one of the higher end areca's. if you're not going to use the raid offered by the controller, and...

    SSD Maker Unknowingly Sends Counterfeit SSD to Reviewer

    being an agility 3, you have async nand, it does not perform well on AS. run CDM, with 0 fill and you will see your advertised numbers. make sure you have ahci enabled as well. it should tell you what driver it is trying to use in the AS test. make sure you are aligned OK as well.

    PCI-e or Sata SSD's and Money

    the pci-e drive you are looking at is a raid done for you. they take ssds and combine them on the card. you are better off purchasing individual ssds and raiding them yourself.
