    New Intel SSDs on the horizon?

    Performance wise, how do you think the 3rd gen X-25V would compare to the current Vertex2E ? Dunno whether its worth waiting for Intel's 80gig or just get the Vertex2E 60gig now...?

    New Intel SSDs on the horizon?

    I've been waiting to buy my first ssd for a while now and the OCZ 60GB Vertex 2E just came down to £115 at my preferred e-tailer (ebuyer uk) which I was about to jump on, then I see this thread :rolleyes: Anybody like to proffer a guess for the cost of the 160GB at launch?

    quick whs raid question

    Cheers for the replies folks. @maxburn The simplest raid option in the software is Contiguous (part or whole of one disk) and as sub.mesa suggested I was contempleting making 4 simple raid groups for each disk connected, but my concern then was when the mobo dies would those disks be...

    quick whs raid question

    The mobo in my whs box has 8 sata ports, 4 standard and the other 4 using a software raid controller (Silicon Image Sil3114r5), which I'm now looking to make use of as i've maxed out the first 4. Finally installing the driver for these ports this is my forst foray into raid. Using the software...

    Can't find any metal USB flash drives

    Have to admit im a-retentive myself in my flash drive choices. Baffles me that designers still make flash drives these days where the hole for the keyring is on the cap. Best drive I had was Kingston's mini data traveller. Looked like a peice lego and the cap attached very securely on the...

    Cost Effective Data Backup Solution - 6.5TB

    Try the Lights Out add-in. - My WHS box turns on automatically when any of the machines on my lan are switched on (great considering its hidden away in a cupboard). - When all clients on the lan are switched off/sleeping the WHS box hibernates itself after 10 minutes. - Using a php script...

    Cost Effective Data Backup Solution - 6.5TB

    Nice bro. As a relative newcomer to 'home storage systems' WHS had all the features I wanted but duplication did seem to me a rather inefficient method of protection. I was aware some people used WHS with hardware raid setups but with the cost and complexity that's not something I could be...

    powering through pcie adapters

    Thanks, was hoping that was the case and they were just covering their backs. Just to clarify to hook up one adapter i should have both the molexes on two separate lines right?

    Adding a second video card for dual monitor + TV

    why not swap out the mobo to one with onboard graphics which would give you (presumably) one more vga and one more dvi. or build a small media center again with onboard to stream the content off of your main machine (they can handle 1080p fine). admittedly costs a bit more but the benefits...

    powering through pcie adapters

    just bought a 4870 and didn't realise modern cards had two pcie power sockets. this card was to go in a SFF system that's using a EA380 which only has one pcie plug. so in the box comes two pcie-molex adaptors which i was about to use but then reading the manual it says So my question is...

    rate my build, low/mid gaming

    So my 4870 finally came through and being out of the gaming loop I didn't realise modern cards needed two PCIe power connectors :rolleyes: The EA380 I'm using has a single PCIe power plug, not two. So I'm guessing I should be good to have one wired direct and the other with a molex-pcie...

    Segate 1TB Died Today

    Length of time wouldn't have any significance. How much you wave the magnet around the drive, as close as possible in as many different directions would.
