Finally time to move on from Sandy Bridge and a 1080. My workflow likely resembles content creation, mostly code compiles, some encoding and hopefully some light gaming in the future. My current monitor is 1440, don't game yet but would like to explore some stuff like Universal Sandbox and...
I know SSDs are a bad choice here but I need to save the few watts (this is 100% solar powered) and it must be silent. I need (4) 4TB SSDs, must be SATA, for a ~50 cam NVR setup, looks like i'm basically down to two choices:
Western Digital 4TB WD Blue 3D NAND, Amazon $372, 600TBW TLC
Or...
I'm a linux guy that doesn't game but do play around with exploration utilities like Universal Sandbox, so a bit of graphics performance is required. I'd just buy an Xe NUC but thermals on NUCs really suck bad so I'd like to go mITX. Please correct me if i'm wrong but I don't see a desktop...

So I asked my gamer kid for his X-Mas list, he sent this:

Now that I can make use of the heat, I thought I'd revive SETI over the winter. While reading up on the project I ran across their Top GPUs page and found the list interesting:

Really surprised Pascal cards are not leading the pack, what am I missing?
I'm not a gamer and don't really want to dick with aftermarket coolers. After some research it looks like the Asus 1080 cards with the 3-fans might be the best option for 24-7 continuous OpenCL and cuda work?
Any other manufactures offering cards with multiple fans or huge heatsinks I should...
I bought this when Sandy pretty much first came out, been running 100% stable ever since. Although I don't really need to upgrade I've had this rig way long enough and gotten way more than my money's worth.
Help me tweak to the edge, and if it blows up in a 6 months so be it.

Any news on Skylake + Iris Pro vs the noticeably less powerful HD530? Looks like if you need a 1/2 decent IGP box soon/now the 5775C (which I still don't see on Newegg) is the best option.
I've got a home automation system (Ubnt mFi) that is currently sitting at ~800GB on a 1TB SSD, and growing. I don't really want to move the DB to a spinner and don't want to fork over the cash to RAID a group of SSDs, but don't want to lose my historical data either.

For one of my DC powered servers I needed power efficient storage, this thing looks to fit the bill.
All stats done at > 2x or more RAM size, except last one for fun. OS is Ubuntu 14.04, ext4, no other tweaks, on a running production box, ~20% CPU utilization, drive idle though. If anyone...
I'll be taking a week plus trip to Canada, just north of the US border traveling from around Michigan to Maine. A few VZ roaming data questions:
My Nexus 7 LTE apparently will not function, no service according to VZ.
My wife has a S4, which will work, according to VZ I have the following...
New folder, just brought on the following boxes:
1. E3-1270 Xeon

5. [email protected] with a GTX660
I have one more Haswell I might configure, a couple are full the others are set to light duty. Currently showing ~97,000PPD.
Not sure how long...
I think this can be done, anyone confirm? I currently have an unlimited data Galaxy Nexus, that I use only for data, last month I had 4 minutes of talk time. I'm planning to buy a new N7 LTE when they are available and I'd like to pull the SIM from my GN and use it on my N7 for data, will it work?
I've search to the end of the internet. Somebody used to sell these cheap metal 5-in-3s, non hot swap. It was simple metal bracket that you just bolted the HDs in vertically, it was like $12 bucks.
Any help?
Does anyone make an internal 5 in 3 sata cage with a built in expander and one esata as the interface?
Looked and looked, would sure make cabling and ports easier.

I'd like to reformat the Storage Show Off thread with vb/html tables.

Just in case no one has asked for it, I'm asking!

I just bought a new laptop and was forced to buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Well actually it came with it and I stalled for months hating the fact I was actually thinking of sending m$ a single penny.
Anyhow, I got over it and ordered the laptop. Now I have a copy of Win 7...
Any rumors of a Dual core Atom (Pine Trail) ATX board? It seems nobody ever made one for the previous 330 Atoms, what's wrong with these people?
There has to be a market for super low power WHS/Linux storage boxes?
I'm looking to replace the fans in my Supermicro 933. According to the fans specs is has the following:
(4) 92x38, 5000rpm, 110cfm, 0.60 static IN H2O, 50db.
(2) 80x32, 5000rpm, 60cfm, 0.49 static IN H2), 47db.
I'm thinking the (4) 92s are causing the majority of the noise and am...
Had a 4.5 year old 300w unit literately pour out a cloud of magic smoke. Quick email to Seasonic with SN only and had an RMA the following day. Shipped out ultra snail mail, at my expense, across the country and had a replacement within 2 weeks. They also forwarded tracking on their own...

Two good used GE LanPro 10-11U with one external battery cabinet. I have this unit hooked up and you can see it run, load it and watch run-time. It is currently setup to 240 volt input and 120 volt out. This can be changed from 208/220/240 input to 120/208/220/240 output. I will wire it to...
Got this and (5) ES series 750GB Seagates on the way!
3TB in RAID 5 and I'll stab in more as I need the space. Current setup is 1.25TB RAID5 Linux ext3. I'm thinking this new setup will likely be an LVMed XFS volume. I don't want to mess with expanding the partition!

Netgear GS724T
Can't even buy a used Cisco for that price. The VLAN restrictions in the user reviews will not bother me.
What do you guys think? Must have gigE, basic VLANs, rackmount, anything else is a bonus!
So far it looks like the majority of their eSATA series.
The latest BIOS supports port expanders up to 5x. The Wiebetech SilverSATA V and Sonnet Fusion 500 were tested over here

1Gig RAM

5 case fans (its in a hot garage)
Intel gigE
HP raid card
Several USB devices
All on a 300 watt Seasonic, Kill-O-Watt shows a max of 170 watts.
I have a new Core 2 Duo setup on the way, room to spare!
UPDATE: Core 2 Duo, no problems...
