    Last I checked storage spaces you need more than 3 disks? If you wanted to put two SSD's in a raid 1 mirror would it work?

    Intel B560 is a Disaster: Huge CPU Performance Differences and a Power Limit Mess

    Eh, not a fan of storage spaces, Intel RST is so easy, you can simply slip a disk out and rebuild if one fails and RST supports TRIM, does storage spaces which is more a pool vs RAID?

    Intel B560 is a Disaster: Huge CPU Performance Differences and a Power Limit Mess

    exactly so it would appear Intel just wanted everybody to buy the more expensive Z series if they wanted RAID

    Intel B560 is a Disaster: Huge CPU Performance Differences and a Power Limit Mess

    My question is why did Intel remove the raid ROM from the b560 when it was on the B460? Every Intel board going back 10+ years I own had RAID available.

    If you are on a fence if you should buy new RAM now or later...

    I barely have time to game anymore so the 8 gigs I have in my two systems will suffice just fine for many more moons The prices right now are stupid cheap if you do need new RAM

    The Witcher | Official Teaser | Netflix

    mixed feelings on this 1st season. Casting could have been better, let's just say they had to be more diverse than the books sorry but fringilla is not black and triss is supposed to be a redhead Geralt was nailed, not sure anybody could pull off the look, figure, etc story was mixed, the...

    Micron Cuts DRAM and NAND Flash Output as ASP Falters

    If there is oversupply a company has all the rights to not produce more product that lowers cost and lowers their price ratio Show me any company that intentionally likes to loose money. Micron is just doing what is financially responsible until the market changes, nothing sinister about it.

    "Captain Marvel" Trolled the Trolls with a $455M Global Launch

    Just a female driven story to make those all into diversity happy. Not to say it will be a bad movie, just the premise of this notion to milk the other side to make the audience satisfied.

    Anybody playing Gwent homecoming?

    I can't get past the 4th battle in the tutorial which is just silly, it's impossible. With the cards they give you there is zero possibility to win thus you can't go forward. I have some ore, keg but there is no IU in which you can cash those in yet until you are in the main game to improve...

    Microsoft Is Replacing Edge in Windows 10 with a Chromium-Based Web Browser

    Since FF blocks flash some sites like NHL.com will not allow me to watch highlights, chrome has no problems with this. Maybe I need to dig into settings but for now a few things do not work in FF as they once did.

    Seagate Debuts First 16TB Hard Drive

    Eh, I have seagate drives from 1TB enterprise to 10 year old 320G drives with over 60K on them in a really old rig and they are still 100% There are many factors that come into play with drives so to just discount seagate is dumb. That said, 16TB is way more then I'll ever need, I run 4TB HGST...

    Windows 10 Version 1809 Plagued by Another Data Loss Issue

    Installed on one machine a few weeks ago, does not seem to have any issues yet. Oddly by two other 10 machines that update has not shown up so I guess it was pulled, right? To be safe I put in that 30 day grace period/ no updates until MS gets their shit straight

    Homelessness Tax Would Target Rich Tech Sector in San Francisco

    You failed to mention to get those benefits you need to give up about 50% of your paycheck too. I knew a guy who had medical issues from Vancouver, sure they paid for everything but he paid deeply into that to get those benefits. you can't have your cake and eat it too

    10 can't see ssd

    I went through bios but did not see anything not enabled. The board is about 6 years old, Gigabyte UP4 and the raid is the build in AMD raid which as I recall was made by promise for AMD. The fact a WD black spinner and HD-DVD both show up on ports 4-7 which can only be sata or IDE mode the...

    Intel Launches New Desktop Processors

    i3-9000 should be damn snappy for a base computer/ internet. hopefully the price is what kaby was, around $119 but I doubt it. 3.7, 4 cores at 65W, should run cool with stock cooler. my kaby i3 idles at 75F and it's been rock solid.

    10 can't see ssd

    I did not have any linux disc with me even though I have a copy of mint somewhere. For fun I popped it into a 10+ year old Intel system, core2duo and it was right there in CDM and disk management. Has to do with the raidxpert mirror even though as noted ports 4-7 are not part of the array, only...

    Try this, the drive has a letter at the end, use a program like crystaldiskinfo to get the full SN and then it will register. Do not go by the SN on the box, the drive should have the full SN.

    Midterm Elections in West Virginia Will Feature Mobile Phone Voting

    860 EVO, raid1

    All indication even in RST raid 1 trim is passing as both drives show they are enabled. Only minor issue is with 7 unlike 10 you can't force the OS to trim/defrag which I do on my 850 single on my 10 machine
