Almost all my concerns about these beluga drives have been pointed out and answered. Things are moving towards reFS or X-Raid, that aren't actually RAID structures but file systems that allow more than one disk units with redundancy. I think X-Raid its even a file system but its like FlexRAID a data...

I agree 100% with him. No mater if its your personal home made videos, pictures, or whatever. Everybody find his stuff important. Rebuild a RAID5 5 drive 3TB its dangerous once one drive has failed, specially if all come from the same lot. W8 and some linux distros come with x-raid or similar disk s...

hmm 400 usd without memory (50-60usd), hard drive (60-100usd (probably ssd) and remote (15-30usd). Isn't that as expensive as a mac mini? Price tag should be around a cheap mobo (nothing to do with size, mini itx are usually have lots of features this is not) + a "cheap" intel chip, that closer to 1...

I get this when I try to acces.


I see, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day
Didn't know about that.

All x80 nvidia series should be wced if you want to spend extra money on them. Its a matter of sound, temp and oc.

I've installed this kits twice, and in a matter of fact its all the ram you need. Spend the extra 100€ in the graphic card :D

I don't understand the obsession for 2k and 4k displays. Rather than that I would prefer new 50 or 60 fps video content.

I like when they release first the big horses and then the rest. This roadmap really sucks. I'm sure all those 28nm issues made them release first the little brothers to see how actually work. I wouldn't get close to GK107-106 chips.

I'll wait. I'm a little bit tired of some of the gtx295 issues, specially driver hangs and resets which leads to change of P state (most 295 owners know what I'm talking about). However runs like a single 570 without DX11 support. I'll see what those new ATI cards can do (7xxx series), but the fact ...

I want to change my "old" gtx 295 (wc) by a couple of 570 or 580, also wc. I probably change again the card before I change my display so DP is not important to me. I've been following nvidias roadmap and it looks like they've already started their kepler production (may I cite xbitlabs?) My proble...

Given you've got the numbers, what about a vs. with 2xGTX580-SLI. That would be the true performance vs. price review. I won't ask for a couple of WC 580 review, because I'm sure would beat that card in performance price and endurance. The big brands should start shipping their high end cards withou...

Only for US & Canada... Not a fan of blizzard but the trip sounded fun

..or even 3dmark. For 1500$ can't you buy a couple of WC 580, a pump and a radiator?

All these "extreme" designs should come with a WC block or with "no cooling" option.

I got on XP until 7 was released and just because 7 offered me some improvements: boot times, 64bit, etc. So who cares about next MS OS? Until 7 gets very old I will use it. Why do you need an OS every 2 years? Its "only" the platform to run your programs or games. MS tries to emulate the smartphone...

Given you have ICH10 you could go for a RAID0 to achieve similar to 6GB sata. I've got a pair of Vertex2 E 120GB and had run flawless (rampage 2 extreme). Raid 0 means no TRIM. I say that because maybe its a good money/space/speed combo vs. a single drive. And I don't see the point of a future-proof...

Price/specs looks good compared to a macbookpro, I wonder if its so reliable on heavy duty. Today I contacted a "dell chat expert" (while browsing dells site to view the different models) to know if these laptops started to use UEFI. He replied it uses "Intel ® Centrino ® Advanced-N 6230 (2x2 b /g /...

very impressive, but its a mistake to use BIG PSU in low wattage cpus. A big mistake. PSU has a performance that starts low at 1% max-load, increases at about 50% of max-load, and drops again until 100%. Like this: http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/4469/6a0120a85dcdae970b01287.png or 0-50%: http://im...

I wish they were a little thinner. But I use one (1988) and are the best.
The greenest keyboards ever made. I wonder how many keyboards people have had to bought while I've been using this one. :D

RAID 5 have more to do with redundancy than speed. You'll have fairly good read speeds, but write speed requires a XOR processing which slow downs speed unless you have a dedicated hardware raid controller. With 4 disks you get the space of 3 and any of the 4 disk can fail without information loss (...

He didn't WC cards because is for showcase and he changes gpus very often. Imagine to buy blocks, some tubbing, etc for every set you change.

Nice stuff to play with, but not to have it. I take the components, you can keep the case ;)
