Don't remember. Why I need it anyhow..

I think it costs nothing to upgrade to the business plan. Was free for me I think.

Maybe because I have a business account:

Was shopping on Amazon today and noticed a banner they had that stated 25% off IT equipment with code 'ABIT25'. So I ordered 64GB DDR5 and Noctua cooler at crazy low price (though I did also have $100 in credit card rewards). In anycase was a great deal to use on your next build! ABIT25...

The card has no c-link cable requirement. The only thing you have is a usb motherboard header cable for bluetooth which is not necessary if all you want is wifi. Tested 3 other cards in same fashion and they were all recognized with or without cables in another manufacturer machine think Dell...

I checked. No options to anything like that though did find a whitelist in the bios code itself.

Hi, In the office we have two Lenovo m720s SFF machines. Recently purchased two AC-7260 AC1200 generic wifi x1 cards and when I plugged them in both machines failed to recognize them in Windows 11 device manager. Both times the cards were missing in action. The m720s has two x1 slots plus an x16...

Hi, Was wondering if anyone owns the Highpoint SSD7204 raid card and if their ssd7204 shows up in a PCI device tree? More specifically if they see it listed with vendor id of 1103 and subvendor of 7204? The reason I ask is I don't see it listed in windows or with Uefi shell despite it working...

Think his cards are quality. I personally have used just Supermicro cards myself.

10700K. Only for pcie 4.0 support was lacking.

Well I already had a Z590 board at time of purchase only 10th gen cpus were available. Cheap upgrade if you ask me.

Limited time deal at Microcenter. 11700k cpu for $199.99! Stepping up to Pcie 4.0. Good deal.

Finally got my HighPoint SSD7202 and paired it with two SK Hynix Gold P31 500gb drives in Raid 0. Each drive was like $65 on Amazon. Performance is even better than the AN1500. Took some initial benchmarks to share:

So was able to order a "new" Highpoint Ssd7202 raid card for $85 through mercari. Usually retails for $300. So now got to select two m.2 ssds and not sure if I should go with Samsung 970 EVO plus vs Pro? Thanks

Looked at the Samsung Magician settings and no where could I find any 'disable write cache' option. Their performance mode utilizes overprovisioning to cache the data at a cost of 10% drive capacity.
