It depends on the members and implementation. One of the promises of NVMe (which early consumer drives, including the Samsung SM951 and Intel 750 have delivered on, to slightly differing extents) is the reduction in overhead should improve latency and IOPS. The hardware in the SM951 AHCI and...
That looks as though they're not creating a bootable RAID volume though, which is what I was trying to do. I didn't actually try creating a non-bootable RAID (i.e. installing Windows on a different SSD and using the M.2 RAID 0 volume as additional storage), so I don't know if that would have...
In my original plan for the build I was going to use a single 256GB drive (at the time I wasn't sure if I'd be using the AHCI or NVMe version), but I ended up going for the two 128GB drives for 2 reasons: availability was better for the 128GB drives at the time and I was enticed by the potential...
Sorry for the late reply. First off, I did manage to boot into the RAID 0 volume (unfortunately I didn't copy down the successful BIOS settings I tried though, I was basically just trying every single combination in CSM and Boot settings menus), but I had constant problems with system stability...
I'm trying to get a bootable PCIe RAID 0 working on an ASUS Z170-A, but I'm stuck. The RAID volume appears in the Intel RST section of the BIOS as bootable, but the volume doesn't appear in the Boot Menu of the BIOS. I have managed to install Windows 8.1 on the RAID volume (by installing from a...
Hi, all. I was just checking my router's firewall log and I noticed a couple of entries which appear somewhat suspicious, amongst all the 'normal' background radiation of (mainly) Russian and Chinese IPs:
The source IP for these 'attacks' is/was unused on my internal network.
My router is a...
Possibly, but I don't want to buy any additional hardware.
Hmm, I took a look for that RAM and found it here. At the time of posting they have 6 in stock, but it's crazily expensive (£151.98 for the 2 * 4GB kit). That site did give me some more kits to look at though, including this...
Preface: In the thread title I've specified a floppy connector as being required. This is due to the fact that I want to install XP Pro x64 on a SATA boot drive. The only ways (AFAIK) to install without a floppy connector on the board are a USB floppy drive or slipstreaming the SATA drivers into...
I'm trying to use a Corsair CX400W in an application where it's not going to be connected to a motherboard. This means I won't be using the push on/off button on the front of the case to turn on the PSU, I just want to use the 0/1 switch on the back of the PSU. After doing a bit of searching it...
