    Silicon Power 4TB nVME - 7200MB/s - $202 or $226

    Oh, that's a real shame they've gone and changed components for the worse... was about to grab one. Will keep an eye out for a better quality at this sort of price!

    SSD prices keep falling Patriot 2 GB $80, DRAM NVME added for Leven Brand

    Or clone it as suggested to the same size, then use Mini Tool Partition Wizard (https://www.partitionwizard.com/) after the fact and expand the drive to maximum available... it's free and completely reliable.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Just checked and it's just got the base 1Gb. Yeah, I looked at those, and thought I might offer it at $400 including the cables, plus shipping.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Not sure whether here is the right place to ask, but I've got an Areca 1882ix-16 (battery doesn't seem to register) that I have finished using. Has 4 breakout cables to run 16 Sata drives, and wondering what the card and cables together might be worth to sell? Have had it for several years now...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Cheers... I think he (certainly I) was trying to suss out whether two 9260i cards could (working together) run a Raid6 array for instance, with a total of 16 drives in the (single) array. AFAIK they cannot.

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Thanks for the speedy response... So I should set up a bit of a test with my 4 x spare 3Tb drives in something speedy like Raid0 ? and test on the card and then on the expander?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Had a quick read through this fantastic thread, looking for comments on speed differences/comparisons between the same array connected to a raid card and then to an HP (green pcb) SAS expander. I presently have 8 x 3Tb Hitachi drives in a raid6 array on an LSI 8260-8i. I consistently get...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Sadly no... (having ended up with a pair of 9260i cards myself thinking it might work), but you can add a SAS expander, which will allow you to feed the pair of ports from your card to the expander, which in turn, multiplies it from 2 ports (in my case) to 6 ports (so maximum goes from 8 drives...

    Does the Norco RPC-4020 pass existing raid thru?

    Thanks. That what I figured. Might try the original psu first.

    Does the Norco RPC-4020 pass existing raid thru?

    I have just bought an Norco RPC-4020 case to house my existing raid6 array in, along with a bunch of additional drives. After moving it all across, the LSI Raid BIOS says the drives have gone.:eek: Background: Using a standard 8-bay PC case, I set up a fileserver with a standard Gigabyte...

    Intel Haswell i7-4770K IPC and Overclocking Review @ [H]

    Still can't decide between a socket 2011-based setup (3930k probably) with 4 x 4Gb quad-channel ram, or a 4770k and 2 x 8Gb dual channel (both sets are 2133Mhz). I don't game at all, but like to have a nice smooth system. Either way, I'd like to be sitting on 4.5ish Ghz. Value any...
