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...

Wow, that's the only diff? Seems like the one from China should be less expensive. Seems like a really odd situation.

So does anyone have the final word on what drives are inside the 4 ($99.99 WDBCKA0040HBK-NESN) or 8TB ($159.99 WDBCKA0080HBK-NESN)? I read on a bunch or sites that they used to be red's and some say they are blues. I guess the only other difference is the 2yr vs 5 yr warranty for the non USB...

I was looking at Newegg at the 4TB red Pro and they had 2 listes $164 and $285 and the only difference I could see was the image used and the sticker. The new (gaudy IMHO) image with some cube on the front vs the old ones they used for the last 3-4 years. The more expensive one is the older...

I'd like to be able to work with this system with the monitors plugged directly into it and not have to use another computer to connect to them - though I will connect to some of the VM's from another machine. I'm thinking of someting like 3 19-21" monitors for the VM's and then a smaller 15"...

Well, I keep both devices off the internet 99.6% of the time as everything I need is on it (use it as a reader, calendar, music, etc) and I am scared that the thone will get hacked in swome way if I connect, download more/new apps and upgrade the OS. I currently have a 4.3 on the Galaxy S3...

Been out of the laptop market for 8+ years so I am a little lost and behind the times here. I have a number of concerns that maybe some of you can shed light on or alleviate. For the last 2 generations of the Intel chips, I've been a little concerned about the built in wifi features on the...

I know that many motherboards have a "memory compatibility chart" which lists which memory from what manufacturer will work on the board. Some boards print a small book for the board while other boards list a page or so (even when there is a lot of ram available). I've never tried RAM that...

I have a gimongous project and that is to put my multimedia files in some kind of logical order. I'm mainly dealing with video files from mobile 480x360 resolution to HD 1920x1080. They are movies or TV shows, music videos and YouTube videos (usually demonstrations/how to's). I also have a...

I have an Asus z87-pro board that goes through the boot sequence of looking at the Intel Pro networking cards (looking for network boot connections) and then directly to a GRUB prompt and it says that some device isn't available - with some long alpha-numeric ID for the device. I don't even get...

I'm getting major attitude over on the OpenWRT forum (felt like elite snobs to be honest - unfortunately) when I was trying to get my TL-WDR3600 to work as either double NAT or as the router behind a bridged modem/router combo. I had 12.09.1 installed on the device and I changed a setting that...

I'm curious how the seedbox providers can give terabytes (1-2TB depending upon provider) of space for the price some hosting companies give you 40GB of SSD. I wonder if a seedbox service could be used for storage in conjunction with a hosting plan

I've looked for something that might be available in the microSD size that would allow a device to stream data to a local wifi device and found something from 2009 http://gizmodo.com/5321059/wi-fi-microsd-card-makes-eye-fi-look-obese but have not seen anything else nore this device on the...

I'd love to be able to have a field where I can omit certain words or phrases or other ways of omitting even certain members if that is possible. Also, if results could be listed in specific order, like first by forum, then date, then posted, etc that would be awesome. IDK if that is possible...

I've wasted too much time trying to figure out what forum to post my topic in b/c it could fir in many of them as it pertains a little to a number of forums or it really isn't specifically covered by any of them. Of instance the eyefi SD card that is storage (but not SSD or Hard drive) and it...

I'm looking for an account with LOTS oh space but minimal processing power OR if there is a way to get a "normal" tier 1 or 2 plan with linode or digital ocean (let's call this Plan A)and tie it to some online storage plan that offers like 250GB, 500GB, 1TB or 2TB of NON SSD storage (Call This...

I'd like to test/compare some software packages, probably 10-15 at a time, on either virtual machines or older desktops or laptops and none of them have OS's of current viability (they have Vista I believe). So I'd like to test anythig from Win 7 onward as well as possibly multiple OS's for the...

I'm trying to find out if my devices support OTG. I would think that it would be listed on their site but it isn't (at least I didn't see it). It makes no sense that less expensive devices have it as well as older (and less expensive) Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 - SM-T330NU - Android ver 5.1.1...

That is awesome (the cable thing!) That opens up a lot of options. As far as the Windows, I'm running Linux.

I'm not sure what the deal is with DP converters. I have 4 identical monitors and another that has VGA, HDMI and DVI-?. I need to replace my current card that supports the 4 monitors but all the cards in my price range have a odd configuration of outputs (probably for a reason I don't...

The battery thing for the 6Kw system is on hold indefinately as it needs 32 batteries (4 trays of 8 batteries - 7AH each). I found some that can fit 9ah in each battery but they are like 35% more - not bad if you really need the capacity in the same space. I'd like to find some way to...

With the advancement of servers over the last 5 years, I'm not sure what the possibilities of this hardware is and what potential it has from an economic standpoint. I know they would work for web servers, file servers, VM hosts, etc but some of the new servers out there with 4 CPU's with 12...

Thanks. I'll have to take a look at that. I've been outof the market for hosting for some time so I don't know what is even out there. This looks pretty interesting!

I'm looking for a linux hosting package with full root access (hopefullu) and price is an issue. I'm guessing that a VPS might be the way to go but it seems like a lot of these only offer SSD drives which drasticlly reduces storage (from unlimited) to some pretty low numbers. IDK why I would...

I have this cable that seems to work with any cell phone, tablet or other device I've ever tried that has a micro jack. It came with the first HP Touchpads which were released and they notoriously had problems accepting anything other than non-HP cables. Well my Samsung loves it. I have...

Well I found a way around this issue by resetting the password on the system account on Win7. I ended up using the NTPasswd disk which is available as an ISO for CD or a USB booting. The filename what worked is "cd140201.iso" or "usb140201.zip" which has the files for the USB drive. It was...
