    Single 32GB DDR4 SODIMM -- where are they?

    These are only 2166? I thought Samsung was positioning these as 2666Mhz. The new Lenovo X1 Extreme seems to be using 32GB SODIMMs @ 2666Mhz. Does someone have a part number we can track down?

    Have you ever had to RMA a Samsung SSD?

    It's been a while but register your product, request service, fill out the details, etc. I don't remember if they did an advanced (crossship) exchange or not but it was fairly painless. I didn't get a new SSD back as it was re-certified.

    installed os on 3gb sata port then changed the ssd drive to 6gb port

    How did you "repair mbr"? Your OS, partition setup, and other information would help. If this is Windows 7 (or beyond) then boot up from the install media and pick repair. It should find the OS and take care of any issues (usually) automatically. For example this...

    XPEnology? reliable?

    I have it on one of my machines. I know there are some people who swear by it but I intend to keep running it through its paces before I commit anything to it. With that said, I'm curious to hear other's experiences as well.

    Hulu and Pizza Hut Are Teaming Up

    Yup. I can't see a need for why I would want to do this but I suppose they've done their research and figure customers will jump on it.

    Help me affordibly downsize my full tower to an SFF

    I can second this response. If you buy a good quality PSU then there shouldn't be a need for the overly bloated wattage PSUs lots of people use these days.

    M1015 and SE3016

    If it's a M1015 then crossflash it P16 or P17. Don't hold me responsible if you break anything but I've crossflashed a dozen M1015 without any issue.

    Impressive. I wonder how good the garbage collection routines are in the EVOs since TRIM won't be passed to these arrays.

    It all depends on the use. I prefer having TSX-NI and VT-d over overclocking.

    Question about Software RAID

    The advice above is good. If you want to protect data then a good backup strategy is your only option. RAID is for data availability not backup. With that said, is there some reason you prefer snapraid over other options?

    Recover Outlook PST file

    Always do a backup first before manipulating data, if possible. You must make that judgement call based on the shape of the drive. Then get on the process of exporting folder by folder.

    Recover Outlook PST file

    The options above are good. What does the SMART output of the drive show? Bad sectors? Bad cable? Another option is to take a sector-by-sector image of the drive first (either in an enclosure, another computer, or the same host machine). After that open Outlook on the old drive and export the...

    swapping hdd mainbard from ata to sata possible?

    No. Controller board or spindle swaps can and do occur at data recovery shops but that is between identical drives. You could try to acquire a working PATA drive of the same revision, capacity, etc. and try to do a swap that way to grab the data off the failed drive but I can't give you any...

    Reliable USB 3.0 pcie card with server 2012?

    Now Is The Time To Switch Back To Firefox

    I use Firefox on the desktop but I found the ability to easily sync Chrome tabs and bookmarks across Android/iOS to be a benefit. While I understand the philosophical reasons behind Mozilla refusing to release an official Firefox app for iOS, I find it inconvenient.

    Recommended SAS/SATA card for Norco RPC-4220

    Cross-flashing is a lot easier than you realize but do what you're comfortable with since you have to live with the card. If you go the M1015 route, then let me know if you need any help.

    How to troubleshoot possibly dead sata ports on asus Maximus extreme IV mobo

    Which 4 ports are working? I don't know the arrangement of the ports on that board off the top of my head but if they all share a common controller then it's possible they may have died. Have you booted off a Linux live CD to see if the 4 dead ports work (could be a driver issue) or looked in...

    HGST NAS 4tb vs WD Reds 4tb for raid.

    It's too early for me to make a comment as well but the drives are working quite well. Personally, my luck with HGST (prior to WD's involvement) has been great so the price differential was a no-brainer but that's just a subjective belief.

    4670k & 4770k purchased anwhere operating performance thread

    I thought about it but I'm already uncomfortable with a 1.35v vcore for 24/7 use. I suspect 4.6Ghz will take well north of 1.4v so I don't think I'd push it there. Delidding would, at best, buy me a cooler (non-throttled) 4.5Ghz overclock. At 4.4Ghz, it's running between 77-81C max on the most...

    This is my second 4770K but both don't compare to some of the chips people are posting about. My definition of stability is several individual 24 hour runs of Prime95 (AVX), h264 encoding, the latest AVX2 Linpack, etc. with FurMark or AIDA64 GPU Stress test running simultaneously. If all I...

    Intel RAID Expander Card RES2SV240

    Quick question about this card: I'm assuming the 9260-8i can be setup for link aggregation with the Intel RES2SV240? If so, does that mean only 16 usable ports? Is that something worth considering for a stack of 5K3000s in RAID6 or is a single-link more than enough in a (4 + 20 configuration)? I...

    I haven't searched through the official compatibility list and couldn't find the information so I thought I'd ask: Is the card compatible with the HP SAS Expander and/or Intel RES2SV240? Also, is dual-linking supported? Regarding drive compatibility, I don't see the Hitachi 5K3000 drives...
