Are you really sure about the difference in speed and latency? I have the PC3200 CL14 (2x8GB) and I need another set of it for 32GB. This ram was $200 a few years back (G-skill Ripjaws V) and from what I've seen, it's the same price now, or maybe $30-40 less at some places. I can find the...

I have a mid tier system (back when I built it) which I would like to upgrade a little. The problem is that when I looked for this system I chose the ram with the lowest latency and lowest timing. I've found a lot of 2x16GB sticks that have higher latancy and higher timing, though they may...

I'd like to get some inexpensive speaker system that I can play audio files from my computer, either MP3's or things like podcasts/youtube streams or somethign like IHeartRadio. I personally don't like wifi or bluetooth, but have a router that supports it. If it can connect to a smartphone...

I have had the M570 basically since the day it came out and have a few of them (for diff machines) and before that I had the older wireless model and then the USB model, so I've had all the products from this line since about 2000, and I love them and they've all gotten better. I did find that...

What I mentioned as far as being better or faster was in the read/write IOPS which the Plextor had much higher than most other NVME's at 4k size (which is what the others measure at as well). The Plextor had a 340,000/280,000 Read/Write and the others had 10,000 - 90,000 Read and 40,000 -...

I remember years ago when there was a decent selection of PCIe SSD's that were much more expensive and much faster than standard SATA SSD's. Now that M.2 NVME is out, those PCIe card's seemed to have disappeared. The problem is that I don't have an m.2 port on my MOBO so I looked into an...

Thanks for the quick reply! I also have 12 Dell 1950's and 2950's all w/ 32GB ram and quad 2.66 or dual core 3.0's. The 128GB is EEC btw, which as well as all the ram on the 1950's and 2950's. I thought I could use my existing 3770K as my standard deskop, maybe one VM (Oh, I run Linux on...

This unit is up for sale from a local university and I need to decide by 5pm today (I know, found out a little late). Current price was under $400 so that is good at least. I'm expecting it to go higher. I need a machine where I can use some of the 40-60 SAS drives I have and get the data...

I have 2 TorrentDay's to trade. I'd like an IPT (even though they are similar to TD) and somethign else, I'd like the largest private tracker if possible as I'm writing a seedbox program and I need access to how they run their trackers so I need to get inside. I don't even know what other...

I've seen a few different card sizes listed: 64GB, 128GB and 256GB - that is a huge difference in storage and I need to get a new/additional SD card and I want to get the largest and fastest that the device will accept. The speed part isn't really a big issue with the phone I don't think...

Have you tried using the Ergo with the old receiver? The new one says it has the Unify (2.4ghz) and bluetooth built in and I'm not crazy about that. I don't use BT on this system at all. I'm wondering if I use the old receiver with the new trackball then would it just default to the Unify...

HMM. I had great luck with the Red's until now and I think this one was my fault. Actually had good luck with about 90-95% of WD's. Would you take a blue or purple over a red? I too am leaning towards a black or gold.

I've been using the MX570 since it came out and their previous generation (non-mx) before the 570 and have loved them for about 18 years. I need to get a new trackball and was looking at the MX Ergo, while pricey, my 570 lasted alomst 12 years (take it apart and clean with rubbing alcohol 2x a...

My WD 4TB red looks like it is in it's death throws (PLEASE allow me to recover some data!!!!) so I need to figure out a plan for replacement. I'm sticking with WD drives, I have many other WD Red's that are great but I think another model/color might be more appropriate. My other Reds are in...
