basically I have two 860's in raid for a few years channel zero is down to 3% with almost 50K channel one is at 48%, same hours raid 1 they should have the same writes thus the same wear something is goofy SSD's are cheap so replacing it not an issue, just curious why this would happen I...

likely true but you can't buy anything that is no for sale :)

it was just released 1/30/25, it's not even retail chains yet........and the price is 2K

my cpu is 4000 thus 100x40 but in bios it's always around 99.87 or something not a massive deal at all but if I increase bus to say 101 it still does not change normal?

I have not bought any new music in 10+ years and ripped most of my CD, the rest I bought and streamed I use jetaudio to rip to flac it's a free player that is no longer being updated, easy to use.

I buy a game I don't want DRM BS, I don't want to sign up to some online check system, I want to own it, install it and play it, that is one of the reasons GOG exists but they are limited in what games they can offer, generally older games no longer popular this is why back in the day hackers...

haha I kinda forgot already, I asked it all sorts of things I have been wonder about like what shows are coming back and when

I always used linksys routers although I recently replaced an ancient bridge with a TP-link USB antenna for internet which tripled my speed

just wanted to say this is really slick, I am having fun asking it questions and getting an answer in a second

oddly the i3 in it now runs at 3.9 and is snappy for just browsing the net, I did find plenty of flagship chips for sale at a decent price. one I am using now is like a old friend, all my music files, built in sound blaster through a 5.1, rock solid stable If everything loads up instantly I...

i5-4570 to I7-4790K for 50 bucks. i5 is not weak but websites load instantly, everything seems to run more smooth, build is in my sig, yep still rocking a 10 year old build and it does all I need it to, I have a newer build but it's sorta just a backup

Only one XMP profile, bump from 1600 to 1866 but you can bump even further but it won't auto, you would need to adjust timings yourself of even the voltage how much can you push these? from what I read back in the day they used highly binned micron chips honestly everything is very fast and...

base went from up 800 and turbo 900 but what is interesting is streaming youtube or a TV show the I5 would be working hard running turbo, i7 it's not even breaking a sweat, both the GPU did not seem to factor in, ran at around 5% fresh arctic silver idles at 85F just like the I5 as expected so...

Micron G9 NAND delivers the industry’s fastest NAND I/O transfer rate, 3.6 gigabytes per second (GB/s), they should have a refresh out in the spring, my guess they will call it the MX550 or maybe 600

thanks for the heads up, I have a 870 on the way, before I install into my raid array I will put it in a USB dock, check the firmware but good chances it is updated to the latest

I tried command prompt it does nothing, it's not available apparently when in a raid array I will say in raid 1 my reads are over 1000, write slow down to 350 instead of 500 not in raid if both drives gets the same writes why is my O drive only at 56%, that is what makes no sense

I have two in raid1 for C and two spinners for D I bought a 500 870 to have on hand just in case, it was on sale, around 46 bucks

choices are getting slim, I have a LG BR player/ripper that I used just rip my own CD's and store them on my drive so I could add them to my portable player. I have not ripped one in years as any new music now I just purchase and download it. It's there if I need it but it's been ages

it does not appear they are spending any time or coin on updating this game anymore. they have some small seasonal updates but that is it I have flipped this game 7x, maxed out all trees it's still fun but without any new challenges it's somewhat pointless thoughts?

the system is in raid 1 so you can't run trim with windows but as I read this drive has it's own garbage collection this is sata 1 so not the main drive in a sense but the copy drive, seems unusual I could break up the intel raid and not lose anything and then trim it but not sure what would...

witcher 3 was an awesome game, one of my favorites so I would certainly buy it from GOG, get rid of all those checks like starforce back in the day and I would say if it's being worked on now sometime in 2026, they will try to fast track it

correct, just weird the previous driver stated it was tp-link so they just changed the name of the driver it would appear to be more correct I just noticed this and yesterday I had two blue screens in the same day! ugh.....then my USB was not working

I liked DA2 so much I want to recall I played it through again, never installed 3 and from the looks of it this latest version is just lacking in what makes a game fun. might need to wait for ES IV for a real RPG

haha I remember those days, soyo did not have the best rep and mushkin was kinda new to the game. I ran mushkin with the blue heat spread in my epox board for 10 year without issue, I could probably fire up now after 5 years and it will work just fine

I use firefox and I searched and don't sere that add-on available, not looking hard enough or just and edge function? I also use edge but never have that many tabs opened and it uses more memory that FF with 25 tabs opened

Even if you don't game is 8GB enough? if you stream shows on your computer that memory gets munched down fairly quickly and edge, wow that one sucks down 2GB with about 5 tabs

my last two builds I used mushkin redline and blackline, set XMP and never looked back or had any issues, don't expect to, they are binned an tested to "overclock" slightly

I suppose this would be handy for those who don't like to type or they are on a tablet or something, I am more old school, I will just type what I am asking into a search engine

interesting my TP-link USB antenna has a new driver auto installed and it's realtek, I wonder if they bought them or simply the chip inside it theirs, the previous driver was TP-link

Intel has been around for 56 years, how long for them? this sounds like smack talk basically. they have grown likely due to cheaper labor rates and other factors

hopefully not but they have a new 256 layer nand flash, it won't be any faster for sata but consume less power and be like a paperweight. this allows them to have room for some buffer ram. I'd rather buy a crucial than give money to samsung, both are practically equal bench wise

the MX500 is due for a refresh but I can't find any news, even contacting micron nobody has a clue my thought would be early 2025 and call it the MX550

It did not, it was happening before and I started looking around and, hey why is the intel USB have a MS driver, it fixed it for awhile and then just today after 3 weeks a kmode again I am running the OEM gigabyte SATA cable which are getting up there with time and hours and swap with some new...

they were talking about building a plant in NY which sounds dumb with the taxes, not sure boise has a the land or even water for another fab or as you mentioned the housing

all drivers are up to date, few month ago I noticed my Intel usb was using MS drivers, I switched to intel though they were older but it seemed to fix the problem all memory scans come back with no issues oddest part, when I do get a blue screen my D drive in raid1 goes into repair even though...

seems ok to me, there are so many themes to customize

Last I checked storage spaces you need more than 3 disks? If you wanted to put two SSD's in a raid 1 mirror would it work?

Eh, not a fan of storage spaces, Intel RST is so easy, you can simply slip a disk out and rebuild if one fails and RST supports TRIM, does storage spaces which is more a pool vs RAID?

exactly so it would appear Intel just wanted everybody to buy the more expensive Z series if they wanted RAID

My question is why did Intel remove the raid ROM from the b560 when it was on the B460? Every Intel board going back 10+ years I own had RAID available.
