    Looking for light laptop with decent gaming abilities

    I like my MSI laptop that I use for work. Seems to fit the bill pretty well and it is cheaper too. It comes with a longer warranty (2 years) and has all the good stuff needed (i7, 1080p, up to 16GB ram, etc.) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152560 I put an SSD in mine...

    What gaming video card lasted you the longest ?

    560ti SLI I bought them 4 mos after launch for $170 each. I would still have them if I wasn't offered an incredible deal for them last year. After that I got the bug. Upgraded to 660 ti 3gb > 660 SLI > 660ti 3GB SLI > 780 > 780 SLI > 780ti > 780ti SLI > Just ordered my 3rd ti for 3-way...

    RAID 6 using consumer/NAS drives?

    Oh how I agree with you, but to my astonishment, many people do. Many people see RAID as data security.... :eek: I shake my head..

    WD Purple 3 TB or Seagate® 3TB ST300VN000 Server NAS Drive

    I am sorry, but that study means almost nothing. Look at the source of their drives. What kind of drives are they? How are they using them? You can't go out and buy the cheapest drives anywhere, including the external drives and throw them in a mass storage environment and expect them to...

    LSI 9260 Temperature?

    Yeah, I know what you mean about them specifying the "Maximum ambient temperature" as it is kind of vague. I just take that as the max temp for the card. So, it looks like 60c unless you are using the BB's, then it would be ~44c. Have you tried using a laser temp gun? That may just be the...

    RAID 6 using consumer/NAS drives?

    Not with the 6TB drives. From my understanding, those drives are only rated for up to 8 drive configurations. Do you have a special enclosure that they will be mounted in? I have heard really good things about HGST's NAS drives. I have good experience with them as well, but to that extent...

    Samsung 850 evo vs 830

    If you currently have an 830, I say leave it. You won't notice much, if any, difference doing anything. Your response times is where most of it is going to take place. Do you plan to do lots of large file transfers? Unless you are upgrading to a larger drive, I wouldn't worry about swapping...

    Recomendation best hard drive cloning software

    I have used Acronis TrueImage for a while now. It always seems to do what I need and hasn't had any issues. I don't think there are many issues with any of them anymore.

    LSI 9260 Temperature?

    I went through this recently with my 9271-8i in my home server. I am still new to the raid card segment, but doesn't the 9260 have the same WebBios that the 9271 has? Ctrl+H on bootup. If you go to controller properties, it should state the card temp. I had to do some cooling enhancements to...

    Do you have a case for your phone?

    I have one, but don't really have a choice. I have two small children and they LOVE cell phones. So, when you turn your back for literally just a few seconds, it is gone. I currently am using an Incipio DualPro on my Z3. Between that and the Tudia Ultra Slim Bumper style case, I keep...

    Sony Xperia Z3 Compact?

    Actually, no that isn't the card. Be careful as that is an "SD" card and it is too large to fit into the slot for the phone. The phone requires a "Micro SD" card. The speed of the card does matter. If you want to actually do any recording in 4k, you need to have something fast enough to...

    Sony Xperia Z3 Compact?

    This phone actually does come with a desktop software of sorts. Sony PC Companion. It is actually pretty nice. It will transfer over absolutely everything from your old phone, and can do many other things. If you haven't already, plug your phone into your PC and it will prompt you asking if...

    Sony Xperia Z3 Compact?

    I purchase a case for my wife, the Incipio DualPro. It isn't a minimalist case, but it isn't big either. It protects it well and isn't obtrusive. The cables are tough. Do you plan to use the magnetic connection? If so I would suggest the dock instead as most of the magnetic USB cables are...
