I just installed my 9260-8i on a raid5 configuration and am getting great read/write speeds so far. Using it on a full 8x speed pci express 2.0 slot?

The LSI 9260-8i looks to be what I'm looking for, good price and performance. Since it only has 2 internal Mini-SAS SFF8087 ports (8 drives) do I need to buy an expander or something for 8+ drives?

Do I just use a SAS breakout cable to 4 SATA to hook up the hard drives? Looks like LSI and Areca are the top brands.

I'm looking to upgrade my current file server that has 2 x Highpoint 2220 pci-x card. The cards are configured to 3 raid 5 arrays, 15 drives total (WD reds and samsung). I'd like to replace those cards since pci-x is a dated interface along with the performance of the cards. I don't have...

Thanks. He decided on the 480 since it was slightly cheaper then the 1060. He plays a variety of games and isn't going to choose based on video card. He isn't huge into AAA titles unless it gets great ratings. I think he'll be happy until the next upgrade cycle.

That's too bad, this community used to be the best to get good information and opinions. These days a lot of information is marketing and nomenclature which is a pain to re-educate myself. I know its been like this for a few years but sucks to also have to buy a video card based on what...

My buddy needs to update his video card from a radeon 6970. He's still running his 2500k at 4.4ghz which is still sufficient for his needs. I usually recommend an AMD card since you get the most bang for the buck in the mid range sector. However, this time around it seems like the RX 480 and...

Looking for a Radeon 6850 single 6 pin.

Its quite alright. I did some reading on the motherboard and it has compatibility issues with pci express 3.0 cards. I know it should be backwards compatible but they never released a bios to address the issue. I have purchased a used Radeon 6870 that should work fine for light gaming duties.

So during our Thanksgiving trip my family in-laws asked me to take their PC home with me and fix it of all the viruses and such. I'm planning on wiping the HD of everything and doing a few light upgrades if it can be a decent gaming machine. Here are the specs...

Not sure how many of those are split/local co-op. The trine series are but i don't believe orcs must die has it. Orcs must die 2 has lan support but not sure if there is split screen. Plants vs zombies warfare isn't local co-op which is disappointing and confusing since Xbox one and ps4 have...

I'm playing dungeon defenders with the kids and is pretty fun. However I'm not sure of the hardware requirements. There are some racing games that would work as well. Looking forward to other replies since I'm in the same situation.

I try not t buy Ubisoft games after I bought one of the heroes of might and magic that was buggy unable to complete. Their solution was to stop offering support and patches. Great company to release a broken game and not fix it.

Very good, did you get the other speakers you had posted about? How's the system?
