Yes, but the problem is you won't know when the cache is full or not. Whenever you feel the system becomes somewhat slow, psychologically the first thing to think is SRT. You'll be wasting a lot of time with wild goose chases thinking the sluggish performance is a result or SRT but it could many...

SRT works on any mechanical HDD regardless it's a boot drive or not. But fyi, SRT is really too good to be true. It may seem WOW! Superfast!! Woohoo!!! Amazing!!!! at first but now I take that back and I have since stopped using SRT permanently. The reason is when the cache is full, the HDD...

Haha, you seem to have an answer for everything. I can assure you and for the sake of argument, none of what you mentioned are answers in my cases. You are assuming everything is so simple. Good for you! The only think you nailed me is that ASRock = Asus. That I didn't know. And if I knew I...

2 weeks using Intel RST, I now feel it really isn't all that cracked up to be. I gave up my 5x1TB RAID0 for a 1x1TB + SSD RST and I now regret this configuration decision. I should have kept my RAID0 and use in addition to SSD RST. That is if your SSD cache is all full, you still have RAID0 to...

To most people, it all boils down to $$$. Considering you can afford Raptors, I would presume money is no issue and you also have the need for speed. So, yes go SSD! Waiting for SSD to go down...HA! Well, by the time you waited, new technologies will be out. Then you would want the latest and...

I'll tell you what NOT to buy...or at least buy with caution! I cannot speak for the others 'cause I don't have much experience with them but ASUS motherboards are the ones that gave me very bad experiences. Having used both the P45 and P55 chipsets and both were Asus motherboards, I have to...

If you don't mind me saying but this is one very expensive mini itx system. Minus the $479 hard disks, this config costs almost the same as my i7-2600 8Gb system, way beyond what I was expecting. Beauty does costs $$$. :). But thanks for you i have my eyes fixed on another system that costs 1/3...

That is a truly magnificent case! You make me want to run out and buy one. In fact, I'm heading out to the computer centers to look for similar cases. Just curious, how many watts does it uses? Electricity is very expensive here. My electricity bill is about $300 each month. I need to conserve...

Do you still need RAID0 when using SSD + RST? I couldn't find any useful info regarding this before I bought my SSD. After I bought a SSD for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the Z68 + Intel RST, I started testing various configurations. Hope this helps for noobs like you and me. :) My...

You don't get to choose where to save the files to. It's always "C:\My Document\ANNO 1404" and it's between 2 to 7 MB each. I seriously doubt anyone would want to risk putting "My Document" to RAMDisk. Anyways, I don't see what is there to debate when it comes to choosing SSD or RST. Most real...

There's an old game I've been playing for a while now and it's known to be extremely slow when it comes to loading a save file. On my previous 5x1TB RAID0 config, it could take 3-5 minutes just to load a savegame, even on an I7-2600 + 8GB + Win7 x64 system. With my current 1x1TB + 60GB SSD +...

No Asus product has worked well with me EVER but I was always stupid enough to fall for its advertising tricks. From cheapo CDROM to ultra-expensive $700 graphics cards, nothing from them is without problems. The last two P45 and P55 motherboards were the last straws. Asus has since been in my...

I am already using the latest Etron driver from the ASRock site, v0.96_WHQL. Thanks for the link. I'll try my luck there. I hope they have a solution there....it costs me $1 just to ask a question. :)

I have no complaints with my Asrock z68 Extreme. I bought it because I need to SSD RST cache my 5x1TB RAID0 + eSATA + USB 3.0 front panel. I can always buy a motherboard and a 3rd party USB 3.0 front panel but the price would be the same if I get the slightly more expensive Z68 Extreme4. And...

Did you know....? Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 with latest firmware Thumbdrive: ADATA N005 32GB USB 3.0 Thumbdrive: Plugged in via the ASRock Front Panel USB 3.0 ports: Plugged in via the USB 3.0 ports at the back of the motherboard: The AData's packaging didn't...

Ridiculously UHQ WideWalls

Well, I guess iTwins-HK.com is R.I.P. I overlooked the fact that Bluehost has a rule against hosting "Adult Contents", although my site has no [exposed] nudity. However, as I mentioned earlier, each person defines nudity differently. Anyway, Bluehost discovered a post that violated that rule...

Bluehost is now unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth. Leech all you want. :) Last month the site already used 450GB of bandwidth. Let's test the water and see if they are for real; let's try 15TB - that was the original monthly bandwidth allowance when I first applied 6 months ago...

hehe...that goes to show I lack creativity. I just picked the next theme that wasn't the default single-color one.

Haha...unfortunately, this is beyond my control. I plan to move the site elsewhere to anther host or run it from my NAS box at home. But that will have to wait until my Bluehost account expires 6 months from now. In the meantime, try not to connect during U.S primetime; Bluehost is hosted in...

Glad you like my ultimate collection. The site is a quite slow and once in while it locks you out due to excessive cpu usage, but that's the price to pay when hosting at Bluehost: cheap but shit. Patience and enjoy!

You're right. Corrected There are no nudity on this site but then each person define nudity differently. Therefore, on the safe side, NSFW.

I see Kyle and crews are barking up on other trees again and you guys have just created another enemy, after Tomshardware. Hardocp has always been my #1 choice for frontpage news and other fun stuffs, but that's about it. Sorry, your testing just do not feel right, too unprofessional. I...
