    5yr old 850w seasonic good enough for 6900xtxh?

    You guys are awesome. Looks like I need to test it to see if I need to RMA. Was looking for my purchase receipt and couldn't find it on Amazon or the egg...so need to dig more. It's definitely a 2016 or 2017 model prime. I dont need to push the OC now or for awhile. I am too busy and old to do...

    5yr old 850w seasonic good enough for 6900xtxh?

    I have a 5yr old build that I will be updating later this year when new amd chips come out. Have an 1800x and rx480 with 6 HDDs and 2 ssds. Big case. Scored a 69000XT red devil ultimate for a decent price and will be keeping it air cooled until I do a water loop during tbe rebuild. I have a...

    Best way to set up 24-drive ZFS NAS?

    I just finished settuping up my first pool, and did something similar. I was using refurb 4TB drives though as they're super cheap. I used 4 x 6 Z2 vdevs. I did not use a QNAP nas though, and elected to use an older supermicro server with additional interior/exterior storage. The reasons for...

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    To follow up, just had another drive die today, but it was a refurb (not a used pull, but s 2018 refurb from amazon) and it failed during burn in. I accumulated 4000 uncorrectable errors over 48 hours, and the drive somehow partitioned itself AND changed device letters in linux. Clearly a bad...

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    24 Disks, 4 x 6Disk RaidZ2 vdevs, so yes, double parity protection. New hard drives fail as well as old ones, and with a proper burn in (in either case) you can catch a lot of problems early. I've utilized used drives for several years with no problems. My only failure so far as been during burn...

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    It's still relatively new, but has been in the works for awhile. Hoping it goes smoothly. This is a decent explanation of how it should work. https://zfs.datto.com/2017_slides/brady.pdf

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    I'm in the process of building a new ZFS system, will be implementing small files and metadata special vdev, hope to alleviate this problem.

    Cost advantage of HDDs over SSDs will last more than a decade

    You can get used enterprise 4 TB HDD's for ~$40 each. SSD's can't come close to this price point yet, but everything has it's use.

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    Kyle is doing his readers a service by posting this. Do you honestly think he is doing what AMD wants? Read through articles from the past, he calls a spade a spade, no B.S. Many people called bullshit on his RTG article.. How'd that turn out?

    Dell T330 and 1.8" uSATA SSD

    Anyone know if Dell branded s3610 1.8" SSDs (for rack servers) could be adapted to work with the hotswap trays in a Poweredge T330? I don't want to spend an arm and leg on Dell certified drives for our startup company, and I can get recertified s3610 for ~$260 for 800GB. My other thought is...

I'd like to perform...

    Upcoming mobile (laptop) chips/best right now?

    I have to admit, I don't really follow the laptop scene. I hate them. But my wife, and many of her friends won't/can't use anything but laptops. From what I've seen Ryzen seems very good at low power efficiency. With the anticipated Vega release, I know we are looking at a combined mobile...

    AMD Threadripper is a 16-Core 32 Thread Monster [Rumor]

    Ryzen with 3600MHz RAM Benchmark

    Currently running @ 2933 on a single stick, but I may be limited by the gigabyte board. I have a thread under Memory & Mobos where I am updating progress. It's a micron stick, as I could not locate Samsung B-Die ECC UDIMMs. Still trying though!

    Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K7

    Post your Ryzen memory speeds!

    Hmm, well that's interesting! I still prefer UDIMMs due to latency, but RDIMMs are MUCH cheaper and easier to find. Likelihood of Mobo's supporting RDIMMs seems small at this point, being that the manufacturers have not listed any RDIMMs on QVL or printed specs. Maybe 6+ months from now, we...

    Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K7

    Sadly, the initial Ram I ordered apparently isn't available. Not sure how it's still listed on Ebay, but it is what it is. Got 1x Micron 2400 ECC UDIMM 8Gb single rank on the way. If it works, I'll pick up more. Already have a few hundred tied up in trying to get an ebay refund, so I didn't...

    Retrospective: Why Did Old PCs Have Key Locks?

    LOL. For some reason, this reminds me of what I thought security was when I was young. When I was younger, my "security" involved me making a bunch of shortcuts on a floppy drive, and burying programs etc. in a million folders with weird names. I'd pop the disk in the PC, and use the shortcuts...

    Dual Rank DDR4 may be difficult to clock that high at this time. Right now Single Rank (8GB sticks) is recommended to get the best results. The same can be said for 2 vs 4 ram sticks.
