These are only 2166? I thought Samsung was positioning these as 2666Mhz. The new Lenovo X1 Extreme seems to be using 32GB SODIMMs @ 2666Mhz. Does someone have a part number we can track down?

It's been a while but register your product, request service, fill out the details, etc. I don't remember if they did an advanced (crossship) exchange or not but it was fairly painless. I didn't get a new SSD back as it was re-certified.

How did you "repair mbr"? Your OS, partition setup, and other information would help. If this is Windows 7 (or beyond) then boot up from the install media and pick repair. It should find the OS and take care of any issues (usually) automatically. For example this...

I have it on one of my machines. I know there are some people who swear by it but I intend to keep running it through its paces before I commit anything to it. With that said, I'm curious to hear other's experiences as well.

Yup. I can't see a need for why I would want to do this but I suppose they've done their research and figure customers will jump on it.

I can second this response. If you buy a good quality PSU then there shouldn't be a need for the overly bloated wattage PSUs lots of people use these days.

They're real. Think active vs. passive cables.

Xeon E5-x4xx V2 CPUs use LGA1356. Which order was cancelled?

You could just dump it into a VM and run it on top of Linux. Set it and forget it.

C2750 experience by someone else is in this thread: https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/88316-intel-avoton-octa-processor-powerful-enough-to-do-1080p-many-streams/

If it's a M1015 then crossflash it P16 or P17. Don't hold me responsible if you break anything but I've crossflashed a dozen M1015 without any issue.

Impressive. I wonder how good the garbage collection routines are in the EVOs since TRIM won't be passed to these arrays.

It all depends on the use. I prefer having TSX-NI and VT-d over overclocking.

The advice above is good. If you want to protect data then a good backup strategy is your only option. RAID is for data availability not backup. With that said, is there some reason you prefer snapraid over other options?

Always do a backup first before manipulating data, if possible. You must make that judgement call based on the shape of the drive. Then get on the process of exporting folder by folder.
