    ZFS build - Optimizing config for workload

    gunderwood and Abhaxus, thanks for your replies! gunderwood - thanks for your calculations, that is helpful - I usually am very conservative with MBTF calculations, so the baseline numbers are appreciated. Abhaxus - thanks for sharing your experiences, that PSU frying would have given me...

    Windows 8.1 - ReFS support w/storage spaces?

    Hi there, I was about to purchase a few extra drives for a Storage Spaces setup, using parity. Will Windows 8.1 include support for formatting non-boot drives to ReFS? I think I'll hold off on my mass file-migration until I learn this. Also, were the data re-balancing issues solved in 8.1...

    Checking Windows 8 Storage Spaces use-case

    I'm interested in using storage spaces but I'd like to check the validity of my usage case before purchasing additional hardware. (In this usage case all the references drives are blank; the data is presently being stored on Amazon S3, temporarily) I have three, 2TB hard drives. I'm...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    I've been lurking the forums for the past six months or so but I think I've finally absorbed enough knowledge to pull the trigger for my home lab. I was hoping to get some feedback on my build before purchasing. I have an old Q6600 w/8Gb of ram I intend to use for a NAS w/ZFS. 5x WD RE4 2TB...

    Constraints of using 7870 with Q6600 for Battlefield 3?

    That's the (few hundred dollar) question. I'll OC the Q6600 to 3-3.2GHz in the hopes of getting 40ish FPS in multiplayer. I'd be ok with that number, but I have a feeling it will dip into the 20's or 30's at times.

    Constraints of using 7870 with Q6600 for Battlefield 3?

    I'm not one to OC (been sitting at stock since I bought it three years ago) but I think now might be a good time to start. I have a pretty good heatsink sitting on it...

    Constraints of using 7870 with Q6600 for Battlefield 3?

    Yeah, I'll probably go with an Ivy Bridge i5 & motherboard this summer. It will be interesting to see how the Q660 fares though.

    Constraints of using 7870 with Q6600 for Battlefield 3?

    Hello. I recently purchased an ATi 7870 to replace an aging 4850. The rest of my hardware that is typical for that time period; Intel Q6600 (stock @ 2.4GHz), 8GB DDR1333 (recently upgraded from 4GB of 1066), etc. My question is - how CPU constrained will I be if I attempt to run Battlefield...
