sorry right back. about 3 months later I had a stroke and lost english and math. which stopped all computer mods. I have largely recovered words, but numbers is still solidly damaged. I have found nothing I like for memory in this system.

hundreds, thousands, millions, are the most damaged to me. the starship launch explosion has LOTS of video of folk rapping of lots of numbers of rocket fun digital, with lots of visual numbers as thing move alongs. then I can replays the numbers that I am hard to understand until I DO understand.

I looked at "apkpure", the program used useful for my pause. I can understand copy an APK from window into the phone, and install the app install into the phone from there.. i am uncertain about requiring a entire program allowed requiring into the phone just to allow a APK allow. which seems...

I want to make copies of words. i would use a cass recorder if it was the 1970's but I have 2020 android phone. i looked at the google play and all i found only 'apps' that used cloud connection stuff. I do not want to use a cloud, I want the phone to be a recorder that remains in my...

yes, while looking at the flir to see what actually temperatures shows up. THEN decide about removing the aluminium bits.

the memory arrived. it is black, as is it should be from "64GVK" , K = black. don't care the color, same as if it had led lights, not the point. I am thinking to plug each into the computer to make sure it functions. before removing the black aluminium pieces. I dug out the FLIR to see what...

if I had found those, I would have used them, probably. the 16-22-22-22 is the best I found.

a part is using find words with the keyboard, and using NEEDING words, by my folk, like you just did. THANK YOU.

the red is not the point, it is the aluminium heat devices that do not meet my required. the heat glue has only HALF of the hot bit touching to the aluminium, with the other half of the hot of the bit hidden from air BY the aluminium thing not touching at all. allowing air, to all the hot bits...

the failed memory unit worked a year no problem, AFTER removing the red aluminium.

my old H270i computer died, using 2x16 of 3600 ddr4. I changed going to Z490i and a 10700. that did not change. so I chased a spare 16gb, and it started working, the whole problem was one memory failed, of the two in the itx. the new MBoard can use 64gb ddr4 total. since ddr5 is the new...

it is fun, looking at a thing and seeing how to do it better is a feel good thing. finding out things that I do not know, or that I know to be true, that is actually WRONG, is especially pleasing. building 'computer' is a fertile playing field. with design compromises I see as inferior in...

cookie cutter computers are wonderful because it creates cool bits I can craft into what a computer should be. the point is not how crisply the cookie is cut to industry standards, but how baked the eater of the cookie is. wait, it's the cookie that gets baked, right ? not if MY cooling scheme...

my most recent purchase was a 1/8 x 1" x 4' :)

bingo. I have the extrusion, sheet, angles, and am looking at how to integrate the drive bay with the "case".

a second computer just to run the drives seems excessive, to me. fun, but figuring out how to do it my way seems more fun, to me.

yes. car audio taught me about not running power and signal cables together. also about the importance of strain relief. the sas cable business is looking more silly as a homebuilt solution the deeper I look. I do not particularly want to build a precision sata plug soldering fixture, so I...

yes. I like how the 5.25 gives room for my rubber mounting setup at the "sides", too. noted. thank you for the new, useful, viewpoint. a ATX with the PSU beside it is much too wide though, the same problem I have with the rackmount cases.

I have a NH-U14S running now, with a Peerless Assassin 120 SE waiting to replace it, both of which are pretty tall for a case that puts the PSU above the CPU. the main problem is the harddrives, I want about 13mm of clearance between each of the drives for proper airflow volume using quiet...

is this true using the 12 unmodded sata cables to a box sitting beside the computer ? 24" sata would be more than enough for this. or is it close enough to the boundary that the added complexity of all the inline plugs would tend to push it across the border.

a tolerance of less than +/- 2.5 thousanths of a freedom unit in wire length is, admittedly, slightly daunting. a sata plug soldering alignment jig sounds like just the thing, since each sata plug needs a different length wire to get to its individual sata socket.

no. good setup, but. the HBA and SAS expander business is out of the question here. hardwired sata to sata is the specific goal. the current plan is 12 sata cables in a huge wad from computer case to drive housing. the 8088 business is purely to cut the cable clutter from 12 + power to 3 +...

yes. the example I posted was the ONLY specimen I was able to find of this exact plug configuration. wire cutters and a soldering iron can fix that particular problem.

like this

implies that a FEMALE 8088 socket to 4 sata plugs, which would eliminate the need for these adapters is another inconceivably silly notion ?

context : I want a bunch of sata harddrives in a housing outside my computer case, the computer has only sata data sockets. so, instead of having 12 sata cables running from housing to case, using 3 sas 8088 cables would do the same thing, just much tidier. this would require using sas breakout...

yes. a silly concern used as an example, inspired by the mounting holes being surrounded by what look like really good grounding exposed copper.

it occurs to me that with the sas plugs having 2 different pinouts, one end should be the same as a sata socket pinout. so one or the other, forward or reverse, should be pure sata since the sas plug has the same pinout on that end and requires no modification.

Yes. depending on my ignorance. this depends entirely on what wires are connected to what pins, that is all I see as a variable. the config I am looking at: harddrive - sata to 8088 - 8088 - 8088 to sata - motherboard . sas has nothing to do with my setup, it is the fact that the connectors...

no. I do not get this. I understand the point to be that the sas sockets are wired differently regarding the transmit and receive pins, where the sata sockets are wired the same. hence the crossover and straight cable silliness. neither the plugs nor the wires care which direction the...

since a reverse, or a forward, cable is straight while the other is a crossover, as I understand it, requiring that the two ends have both flavors implies that the 8088 single cable is a crossover. is my understanding correct ? if the crossover thing is the actual case what difference could...

trying to achieve understanding led me here https://www.servethehome.com/sas-sata-cables-guide-sff8087-8088-8470-8482-8484-single-device-connectors/ the length concerns do not seem problematic, the drive cage sits right next to the computer, so the shortest available cables would most...

example of silly mistake, putting the breakout cable below the motherboard with all the sata plugs on top of the motherboard. it looked good for keeping the pci slots open, but routing 12 sata cables around the oversize motherboard is ugly. over the pci slots at the top of the back of the case...

since those adapters do not plug into a pcie slot, they could be integrated into a support structure below the dangly bit of the matx board, solving a big part of the 'dangly bit' objection.

looks right 6 of these, and three 8088 straight cables should do the job.

fun !! sata uses straight cables, sas uses crossover. so using a string of 3 cables to connect sata to sata either all straight OR 1 straight and 2 crossovers should work. the center cable decides, if it is straight the ends can be either, as long as both are the SAME. if the center is a...

I have seen these style cables referred to, usually accompanied by stern warnings to beware of getting the 'wrong direction'. so,if I got 3 four drives into one cables, 3 single connector cables, and 3 single to four sata cables. I could plug into 12 sata drives, run 3 data cables to the...

very nice !! the setup you describe does great at fulfilling big chunks of my vision within the limits imposed by conforming to industry standards. I particularly like the 8088 single data wire business, that alone would clean up a LOT of cable clutter. my first thought, looking at this...

yes. except that all the enclosures I see available are seriously inbred to achieve specific design goals that are NOT a priority of mine, while sadly lacking in areas that I value highly. for instance, the drives I use are reported to be quite loud, but I used submarine stealth technology as a...
