    For virtualization - Is the Intel S3500 worth it compared to the Crucial M500?

    At work we've been debating SSDs to use in a cluster, on a distributed SAN, for virtualization. We know we want SSD, but I'm hesitant to shell out so much money for the Intel drive (480GB, $610) when Crucial has a drive with double the storage, good endurance, same 20nm MLC NAND for less (960GB...

    Servers / SANs with consumer SSDs

    Trying to get some feedback on using consumer level SSDs in raid arrays local on a server or in a SAN. The price difference between enterprise and consumer level is huge. But I'm scard consumer may have a LOT more failures than enterprise. So ... Are you using SSDs in a server / SAN? Are you...

    Windows Server 2012 on HyperV VM is so slow

    I had the same issue, try turning dynamic memory off, that seemed to help mine. You really notice it with server manager, when I gave it static memory server manager was a lot more responsive. I haven't googled this to determine if it isn't compatible or not. there may be an update or hotfix to...

    EMC VNX / VNXe

    Great thread, lots of info, thanks for posting. Is anyone using a VNX or VNXe with MS HyperV? If so, how is performance. Especially with virtualized MSSQL servers. All information is great, how many disks, SAS/SATA, 10k/15k, guests, hosts, clustered, HA, etc, etc. Looking to upgrade a CX4 120.

    LG L226WT 22" 3000:1 Contrast

    Does anyone know how to turn off the scaling on this monitor? I want to play some old games that only support certain resolutions, I don't want the LCD scaling. I already tried the catalyst center, but the option to change how it scales is grayed out. Even if I try switching to a non standard...

    Gigabyte GA-MA78GM won't see DDR2 1066

    I got it fixed. The voltage has to be set between 2.0 and 2.1v. The model RAM I got is OCZ2G10662G in case anyone else is searching for the same issue. Go into BIOS and to the clock settings and raise the RAM to 2.1v then set it to 1066, worked like a charm.

    pci express x8 vs x16

    I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to get a mobo with 2 x16 slots for crossfire or if two x8 is ok. Is there a huge performance decrease between the two? I will be running two 4850's or possibly a 4850 and 4870 if I can find a board with crossfireX. I've tried googling an searching the video...
