As always the easy way to just 'ban' everything. I've said it else where, but make pilots of rc craft (quads or planes) get a licence/pass to be able to fly. Just like you need to get for fish or hunting (in some parks). This keeps the newbies out of park (most likely the reason for this 'law'...

I think at least from my preservative and people I've talked to as of late, their pc is 'fast enough', most people don't need anything more than they already have. There's no super new gfx card this year, no new super chip. If a [H] user like myself doesn't really want a 4770K, then how can we...

Won't be buying another gfx card until they move to 22nm, tired of see re-runs of 28nm over and over. 780Ti only shows NV was holding back until R290X was pushed out, so all the poor 780 people get screwed over. Won't be too pleased if I'd just bought a pari of 780s

Would really like that fan setup. Anyone know if sold separately in US/Can ?

I have the 4020 and I'm run two Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm, definitely not quiet, but I have replacement Scythe Gentle Typhoon (1800rpm) that should do nicely. I think it really depends what kind of drives you'll be running, if they're all 7200rpm then you'll need a lot more air. If they're...

Hi All, I have two eVGA GTX 680 cards for sale; both cards are in perfect working order, come with full retail box and accessories (unopened). The cards are also unregistered so you won't have any trouble there. The buyer(s) will be provided with a digital invoice should they wish to have a...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with the 9260s (4i specifically) and running SLI. I'd like to get my RAID5 off the Intel on-board and onto a real controller, but my last venture (HP RR 3510 + 6970s in CF) turned out badly and didn't work at all. Experience or thoughts would be great...

This or a new 680GTX, price/perf is going to be the my deciding factor. I guess we'll find out soon enough :)

You might consider this setup: LSI MegaRAID SATA/SAS 9260-4i or the 8i if you want a couple extra ports. Intel RES2SV240 Plug-in Card SAS RAID Controller vs the single card. Still gets you 20 ports and costs about 1/2 as much. From personal experience the solution works very well.

Definitely disappointed in this game, was hoping a great game and was more PC friendly ... I guess there's always next year :(

Hopefully AMD can get a driver fix out for the CFX "shuttering" that's not something anyone wants to see :( Otherwise looking forward to playing later tonight :)

+1 sent also!

From experience I can say the LSI is a great card. It also works great with the Intel expander (see sig). I would sell the 9650SE and buy the Intel expander. Then you won't ever need to upgrade and raid elements again (as with the expander you'll be set for filling up your Norco).

I guess going to have to wait out trying this one; no CF drivers make me say :(. Another night of BF3 beta I guess.

I had a similar problem trying to get Crossfire and my old RocketRAID to work on my X58 system. It would seem some boards are optimized for gfx card functionality and not high-end raid controllers. I was never able to get 'everyone' working together and even with a new P67 Maximus it was a no...

I'm happy with my Samsung 2TB 'Green' drives. I would consider the cost per GB, more than the overall drive cost. It seems the 2TB for ~$79 is hard to beat imo.

LSI Megaraid 9260-8i would be my choice. I've very happy with my LSI Megaraid 9260-4i. Just make sure you check for the latest firmware; though it is an in-place update, so you don't loose an existing array.

I agree, at another $80 or $140, could save you a lot of re-downloading.

You can see my benchmarks above that's through an expander, so you're looking at the above or better I would say. I don't think the expander is going hurt speed too much.

Sorry, yes, your correct I forgot you need 24 port. You could try M1015 + Intel RES2SV240. That would get you 24ports. The Intel expander also comes with most of the cables you'll probably need. I do believe 2 short and 4 long SFF-8087 cables.

I would go with the 9201-16i and get the slightly lower model of the SM board. Probably works out to about the same amount of $.

Got everything setup now and running. Did a little CrystalDiskmark test and came back with the below: The controller won't let me choose anything but 'write-through' for setting up my RAID6 array. I believe this is because I don't have the battery back-up unit. After/if I purchase the...

All flashed without issue, but seems one didn't make it. Getting RMA'd. Yes the date is on the drive, anything after Jan 2011 should be good, I believe.

Some thoughts ... From your questions above. 1. Norco 4220/4020 is your a great solution if you have the space. There isn't too many cheaper option, but if you only need 10 drives max then you can probably get away with a regular ATX case. 2. Might try a lower end RAID controller, but if you...

Progress Picture and Update first post

Booted and ran without issue. Haven't installed anything yet though; just flashed my older samsung HD's using usb key as boot drive.

You might consider a 4220, which is a 4U case; provides you with lots of drive slots as well can be upgraded to 120mm fan wall instead of the screamer 80mm's . As plugwash mentioned though, you still need to pull in enough air to keep everything cool, the case is pretty much just one big wind...

If you're only getting 8 HDs and using on-board graphics, then I think a quality 560-650W unit is more than enough. I'd go with either the SeaSonic X 560W or 650W model. There's no need for a bigger PSU. Each HD is max 10W each + maybe 200W max for mobo/cpu/ram/raid. Idle should be around...

@blue teeth - lol .. just go somewhere else and cry to some that cares.

If you picked up a regular (consumer) SB then you can't use ECC ram anyway. You'll need a Xeon to take advantage of ECC. But there's no reason not to buy a SuperMicro board; you can always add a Xeon and ECC ram later should you feel the need. I bought ECC ram for my server it was only $5 more...

I changed mine to about 180minutes, seems to have taken away most of the 'lag' during when I'm actively using the computer.

Why did you install the software to begin with? There's no need to install anything to get the drive to work? I would search google to find a way to get rid of the software; the drive itself is just fine. With USB3 I was getting 100mb/s +

What's wrong with the My Book? I didn't even know it came with software. I love me drive so far .. $109 for 2TB USB3 .. can't go wrong in my book :) The one I have is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136748 just so we're clear.

Purchased 8 of these all came with 2010.10 build dates... Flashed them all .. * crosses-fingers* ... going into server next week.

Found them for $13 at DirectCanada :)

And the above link (newegg - Highpoint SAS) are the correct type? Shouldn't be any problems with HighPoint cables working on the LSI controller?

Hi Guys, Got my Norco 4020 today and looking at the connections area for the HDs, I noticed it's all sata plugs and no sas connections. I also purchase the LSI 9260-4i and Intel RES2SV240. I know the intel comes with a bunch of SAS cables not they're all sas=>sas, not breakout cables like I'll...

First shot... Case, PSU, LSI and OS get picked up on Sat/Sun. Waiting on intel controller :(
