    Synology 409+ when to upgrade drives?

    It's probably 4 yrs old, bought 4x1.5tb drives, so I was reading this year we will see enterprise 6tb drives. So assuming the tech hits the wd reds would that be a good time to migrate my raid? Ps the 409+ across a pure gigabit network is reading at 45MB/s and writes at about 32MB/s that is...

    GTX 480

    Curious if anyone is going to do a build with a Big ADV and a pair of 480's or more? If estimates are accurate a quad 480 + Big Adv 920 sys could pull 100k by itself and some estimates put it at 150k. 480 is expected to be about 25-50% faster than a GTX 295 which my GTX 295 out put...

    Tired of Failing Boxes - Solution? Buy some Quality PSUs!

    I have a Thermaltake 1200 w running a 4x9800GX2, and I figured the other boxes that have been failing on and off are probably because I have 4 PSUs per farm probably all fluxing power all over the place causing failures so its time to upgrade. This also positions me well to add in Fermi's as...

    A much higher rate of duplicate work units? I'm seeing I would say a near constant 2 of the 25 gpus processing identical wus but never the same two have the dupes. Did F@H make a change in how many copies of the same wu are distributed?

    When are the GTX 295's going to Price Drop?

    Its about time, we are edging closer to the next gen. I really expected these puppies to be under 400 by now. Its hard to justify a 295 when the 9800GX2s can be had for 200. At 400 it comes a lot closer 500-600 as they are now is just too pricey? Any ideas when they will come down?

    Any rumors on the next Gen Cards?

    Since I'm not hugely impressed by the jump from the 8series to the GTX line, I was curious when the next true evolution is coming? Similar to the 7 to 8 series jump. That was some performance gains there! Think we will have to wait until the recession is over to see it?
