    RTX 2080 Ti FE Escapes Testing by Dying After 8 Hours @ [H]

    I have a very good relationship with the GM of that store, and won't put them at risk. I realize I could have gotten away with it, but I may have damaged a relationship with them that allows me to get ...ahem... not necessarily advertised discounts on CPU/mobo combos. Let's just suffice to...

    RTX 2080 Ti FE Escapes Testing by Dying After 8 Hours @ [H]

    FWIW, I was at my local Micro Center yesterday and I saw LARGE stacks of various brands of GTX2080 and Ti versions, all in return status. I inquired with one of the managers about it, and they are overrun with exchanges and returns on the cards, for the exact same reasons as stated in this...

    Crowdfunded 'Star Trek' Movie Draws Lawsuit from Paramount, CBS

    Yup. That is why the Borg episodes were the highest rated. Another dark and highly rated episode was "Yesterday's Enterprise". That episode was extremely popular for much the same reasons as the Borg ones. You hit the nail right on the head!

    Crowdfunded 'Star Trek' Movie Draws Lawsuit from Paramount, CBS

    Because Richard Hatch is directly involved in making this a good production. They are, and rightly so, afraid of this man because he proved (after going broke TWICE using his own money) that he could revive BSG and make it even better than the original. He devoted his life and every waking...

    RAID array question

    Thanks again. That will make life a hell of a lot easier to know the nits and nats up front. For safety reasons I will do a real format and not the quick one. Just my OCD kicking in! As an aside, I did consider the various SSD options such as the Samsung 845DC Pro. I stopped...

    RAID array question

    It helps out greatly! So, from my understanding at this point I don't need to bother with the Option ROM. I actually intend nuke and pave when I perform the upgrade of the server. So, I simply set the SATA mode to RAID in BIOS and install Windows 8.1 to the SSD per normal (as if the array...

    RAID array question

    Thanks. So, set SATA controller in BIOS to RAID and setup the array in the option ROM. I guess the next and final question is whether I need to have a pre-install driver handy for an AMD A88X chipset on Windows 8.1 x64. Your thoughts? Thanks!

    Hello and thanks for your reply. In answer to your question, these HDDs are extremely high reliability 2M hour MTBF 24x7x365 drives designed for use in a multi-drive environment. I realize there is no fault tolerance in a RAID 0 array, but the risk is relatively minimal and the surveillance...
