For $1400, I am selling all 8 drives plus the 1817+, just for the price of 6 drives( $650 + (6 x $130) ) = $1430). It's a bundle that gets more of my stuff sold and compensates for the bad sectors IMO.

My roommate in high school at the time had his mother buy one of the 75 GB ones for his birthday. He was so proud for getting the largest drive available at the time. So, she then shipped it to him at school - and he got it in a UPS/Fedex envelope. No additional shipping protection. He plugged...

What the hell, I'll give that a shot and upgrade my array from 10 TB drives to 16 TB. Let's see how it goes!

First up is the Synology DS1812+ with 6x WD Red Pro 6 TB drives. I am thinking $350 OBO for the NAS and then $90 OBO per drive. None of these showed bad sectors and full SMART results are available upon request. I'll sell the full unit for $950 plus shipping. The last item for sale I have is an...

I bought the Samsung 8 TB before reading more about it. Afterward, I learned that the SLC cache on it is only 78 GB, meaning that the first 78 GB of a large write will go at 500+ MB/s, whereas anything beyond the 78 GB drops down to 150 MB/s. I got the drive with the expectation that I would...

Fair enough. I think I'd rather go with 32 GB for now, then, and see what happens with the 64 GB later on. If anyone has any thoughts on which RAM set to keep based on speed vs. timings, please let me know. Thanks!

I'm using the Asus ROG Maximus Formula, and I'll admit, I have not gotten into the motherboard manual yet so I just assumed four DIMMs would work if I wasn't overclocking. I wasn't aware of the nuances present particularly as Dan_D described them above. I guess I should have done more research...

I currently have four sticks of the G.Skill Trident Z5 waiting for my new build (all parts should be in tomorrow). This would give me 64 GB of DDR5 6000 36-36-36-76 @ 1.30V if it works. It looks like you are saying that will not happen at the rated speeds. So, I can return one of the 32 GB kits...

Man, I wish I saw this post yesterday - I didn't know I even wanted an 8 TB SSD until I saw this, but now that I did, figure I should replace my puny 4 TB drive. Still, $711 isn't a horrible price, so I'm on board...thanks!
