    HOT ! Various 1TB NVMe with coveted E12 Controller $135 aprox retail

    yea thats playing with fire in my opinion. Think about the pressure it can cause when something rests against it like sandwiched in a backpack or if your resting your hand on that spot. Is the chance it could transfer any static or electricity and short that way? I honestly dont know but i am...

    Windows 8 Pro retail key attached to MS account/phone

    contacts or agreements are not always binding and are not law.....aka criminal or even civil. many contacts will never hold in court like altatbs examples there are working cases in france and EU and even US about property rights and licenses. particular in regards to games and digital products.

    Windows 8 Pro retail key attached to MS account/phone

    it kinda sounds like it did which is BS in my view (going from the terminology in the windows update section...still researching. Do you have prior knowledge of past examples? or was this a theorized idea?). Sounds like something that might turn out to be a class action suit 10 years down the...

    Windows 8 Pro retail key attached to MS account/phone

    Always has for me *shrugs* Buy 1 key use it and after like 20 installs you just call the phone number and they okay the install. You guys have any experience with those ~$10 OEM keys? Are they a install once and if you need to reinstall they are dead? Or if you change MB they brick?

    that would to be a pain to put those into the backplane then the drives would justg be floating around my desk with no cooling whgich would be a bad idea considering they will be writing/reading for 7 straight days. I'll just wait for tape. I only need to use these for a few days

    I will do the tape thing first since there is no way to remove 3.3v power on my norco and i dont want to remove pins for warranty reasons.

    I use 9211 and intel expander. The backplanes are SAS to SATA I have 6TBs so was hoping to find 12TB so I could turn my 6TBs into 2x6TB into striped logical drives. I run Snapraid FYI 5 pairy 9-10 DATA 6TB parity abd 2x3TB/6TB data. I assume you get the idea

    if you come across 12TB+ 7200 RPM SATAs let me know I could use them if its a good deal I have a Norco 4224 so its SATA and not SAS sadly. Unless can you easily switch it out?

    wtf 6000VA...you need to install some low guage wires (thick). I would feel safe using a 2Kva UPS but what was the power draw for a recharge on that 6Kva?? o_O I assume at least 700 or 800 watts if not more!

    read data is part of SMART. Smart also tells you write amplification IIRC(at least on previous drives it did but not sure on current drive. I haven't bothered to look). HDSentiel is what I use and it gives tons of stats.

    I haven't read up on this but was super curious on how the fuck that happened? Like how does 13 mins destroy a whole quarter of production?

    120v is 120v. It is 3 prong and any 120v 3 prong outlet will work. It won't pull more than 15amp unless you put a high load plus recharge. You are being paranoid. Also most houses today have 20 amp breakers. At least my house and previous ones all came with 20 amp breaks for standard outlets. If...
