    5yr old 850w seasonic good enough for 6900xtxh?

    You guys are awesome. Looks like I need to test it to see if I need to RMA. Was looking for my purchase receipt and couldn't find it on Amazon or the egg...so need to dig more. It's definitely a 2016 or 2017 model prime. I dont need to push the OC now or for awhile. I am too busy and old to do...

    Best way to set up 24-drive ZFS NAS?

    I just finished settuping up my first pool, and did something similar. I was using refurb 4TB drives though as they're super cheap. I used 4 x 6 Z2 vdevs. I did not use a QNAP nas though, and elected to use an older supermicro server with additional interior/exterior storage. The reasons for...

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    To follow up, just had another drive die today, but it was a refurb (not a used pull, but s 2018 refurb from amazon) and it failed during burn in. I accumulated 4000 uncorrectable errors over 48 hours, and the drive somehow partitioned itself AND changed device letters in linux. Clearly a bad...

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    24 Disks, 4 x 6Disk RaidZ2 vdevs, so yes, double parity protection. New hard drives fail as well as old ones, and with a proper burn in (in either case) you can catch a lot of problems early. I've utilized used drives for several years with no problems. My only failure so far as been during burn...

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    It's still relatively new, but has been in the works for awhile. Hoping it goes smoothly. This is a decent explanation of how it should work. https://zfs.datto.com/2017_slides/brady.pdf

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    You can get used enterprise 4 TB HDD's for ~$40 each. SSD's can't come close to this price point yet, but everything has it's use.

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    Kyle is doing his readers a service by posting this. Do you honestly think he is doing what AMD wants? Read through articles from the past, he calls a spade a spade, no B.S. Many people called bullshit on his RTG article.. How'd that turn out?

    Dell T330 and 1.8" uSATA SSD

    Anyone know if Dell branded s3610 1.8" SSDs (for rack servers) could be adapted to work with the hotswap trays in a Poweredge T330? I don't want to spend an arm and leg on Dell certified drives for our startup company, and I can get recertified s3610 for ~$260 for 800GB. My other thought is...

    I have a 6 disk setup on my new Ryzen box I'm finally getting around to configuring. Already been running Win10 for about a month now, and just performed a clean wipe in preparation to get everything setup (and because I was breaking things like I normally do with a new OS). I'd like to perform...
