I went with the Samsung EVO 850 250GB. The system is a Plex media server. This drive is going to host the metadata and temporary transcoding files.

Hey, looking for a 200+GB to replace my old Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB. The drive is still good, I just need more space. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel, Core i5-2500K Thanks!

Done. Thanks! :D

Hey guys, my wife's HD took a dive and AppleCare expired. It had a Hitachi 500GB 5400rpm drive and she never used more than 60GB on it, most of that is just music and videos which is also backed up so it really doesn't need to be there. I don't want to spend more than $100-120, and would like...

Ok, but I think I'm past that point. I understand 1TB=931GB, it's shown in the original post. I didn't know about RAID reducing to the smallest amount available, so that's why I'm now going to move to to a drive pool solution like FlexRAID. If anyone has suggestions on the implementation or can...

I just bought 2 more 3TB drives and I'm looking to remove all of the 1TB drives from the setup. My plan: Use FlexRAID to create a pool with the 2 new 3TB drives Copy over all of the data from /dev/md0 to the new pool. Delete the mdadm RAID5 array. Add remaining 2TB and 3TB to the pool.

I'll just switch out the two 3TB and put them on the mobo sata, that shouldn't cause any issues right? putting the 1TB on the other controller.

crap. it seemed to be the best for the price at MicroCenter. not many stores stock sata/raid controllers on shelves =)

oh no.... so what's the problem here then? *-scsi:0 physical id: 1 logical name: scsi2 capabilities: emulated *-disk description: ATA Disk product: TOSHIBA DT01ACA3 vendor: Toshiba physical...

Does this seem right to anyone? I just put in 2 3TB drives into my RAID5 and was only given back 1.8TB of usable space. /dev/md0 6.3T 4.5T 1.8T 72% /data /dev/sdh1 - 1TB (capacity: 931GB) /dev/sdi1 - 2TB (capacity: 1863GB) /dev/sdg1 - 1TB (capacity: 931GB)...

I'm not sure if a license is needed for the web client, I'm unable to access it and have made sure the firewall is open for vSphere Web Access and httpClient.

Purpose of server is to be an ESXi testbed and potential media server. Considering this Mobo and CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103962 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128521 Already have a case and PSU...

So I went to grab a 64GB from the newegg mailer and noticed the packaging was completely different on the Crucial SSD. The model number has a 2 at the end also. But looking at the crucial site they don't mention anything new about it, but they do show a new badge on the drive...

handbrake, make mp4 files with the iphone header enabled. reason? you never know what you'll stream to in the future/present and if friends come to stay and want to use it with their devices. i re-encode everything to mp4 with handbrake simply because its more universally accepted.

ok, thanks. that's what i was afraid of. just got a hold of these monitors for cheap and wanted to give it a try but those 6970's are out of my price range. :(

Hmm, good question. I don't really want to spend a to. Somewhere between 125-250 Whatever can get me those frame rates with the three monitors. My motherboard is the Asus p8z68-v pro/gen3

What vid card should I get to play BF3 and Skyrim at decent 50+ fps Will be using an i5 2500k, 8gb 1600 ram

ROTT was fun back in the day.

gaming on mac is great, i play skyrim on my macbook pro..... in windows 7 bootcamp. :D

im just wondering why he didn't purchase a set of g.skill 1600 @1.5v with 9-9-9

interesting, didn't know about this as I haven't started building mine yet. So Marvell controller was the problem people were saying on Overclockers.

why did you get 1333 instead of 1600?

I'm about to build a server and use Ubuntu 12.04 beta1 as I want to ensure drivers are available for the following: Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 Intel i5 2500k Crucial M4 64GB G.Skill 8GB 1600 Corsair 520HX Should this work right from install or will there be some tweaking to get all the SATA...

hah, actually in a freak turn of events I did end up getting an ASUS. the UD3 was out of stock when I went in yesterday and I bought the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 and i5 2500k

sounds like Z68XP-UD3P is the way to go for overclocking and Z68XP-UD3 is just a nice generally cheap board for people wanting Z68 - like me. i really hate all these motherboard model numbers, there are 20 different z68 boards from gigabyte.

so what's steamworks about this? is there a code you get that goes into steam for download?

what's the big difference? i like the idea of just having usb 3.0, not really planning on using it for anything critical. thanks for all your input, i have decided on the GA-Z68XP-UD3. unfortunately i'm just limited to what is available at microcenter since they're offering the $50 off...

i have to say i've had better luck with gigabyte over asus, just so many Z68 boards out there. I've been reading reviews left and right ever since I made that post. still haven't bought the board yet, going to this weekend. it's really come down to these two: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 vs...

never had problems with either and i've owned many sets of both. currently all the puters in my house (including my macbook pro 2011) are running g.skill

that doesn't make sense, OP said he'll be doing VM work. get as much ram as you can afford, that is one of the main components used in VM world.

then you're probably kicking yourself for not getting the 64GB for $65 of 128GB for $128 from last week. they're great drives. samsung, crucial, intel, all very solid drives.

Saw a lot of bad reviews on the asrock but there are so few boards in stock where I live

What is your pont, that's the code I provided here in the original post.

Which to choose? ASUS P8P67 R3.1 ASUS P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Z68 Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Biostar TZ68A+RCH going to be putting i5 2500K in it with G.Skill 8GB 1600 1.5v

i didn't receive this code in email, i received different codes for different items. as long as you received a "customer appreciation" email today you should be good. it just worked for me.

oh, they must have just changed it today. =/ the february ad was still functional as of last night.

it's actually vise-verse. the $50 is now with the i7, not the i5. these things trade off back and forth frequently at MC, hell this facebook deal might not even work with the $50 off. EDIT: btw, this is not $120 off, it's $30 off from the normal price.

you're going to pay 2x the cost for cas8 for performance only measured in benchmarks.

hoping for an end of year return to normalcy. I think I can hold out until then. I can't justify to myself buying new 2TB drives for twice the price. Remember when RAM prices went skyrocketing and they came back down after a year, now they're cheaper than ever. Just have to wait, and buy...
