Something happened to the forum (again). :( I mean what is your estimate for 5-10 years? It seems that every time there is a tech breakthrough my costs increase. In the early days I was just scanning 135 film and then it went up to 6x9, but the computers were just inadequate. In 2003 I became...

IIRC they were some degenerates back then always doing something nasty. I guess the new crews are more mellow? The Temptations still exit as some Brand, but originals are mostly long dead.

I ran into one of the Marsala brothers on an airplane. I was clueless about the attention he got, but I ended up with the FO breakfast so it was OK.

I have mentality a certain budget for computer stuff, so it matters. I also do not buy anything used or resell anything. What is reasonable for annual personal consumption, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, more?

Oops, I need a new keyboard on ANdroid. Yet his 14900K is crappy due to the iNtel manufacturing defects. ;) :) If I don't buy a new CPU I might buy more SSDs instead, which may not be a good idea.

You already have the 9i9050x, but those of us with archaic 7950x are burnin' ahole in the pockets for a new CPU. :D

Is there any more info on the Zen 5 X3D yet, like will it have two sets of added cache memory (one for each CCD)?

It will probably be on the next AMD CPUs with a new MB, but same AM5 sockets. Of course they will also enforce the AI and asymmetrical cores by then.

The cost per TB of WD 2TB HMB drives is quite high if you figure in the cost to fix them ;), maybe +$100 for tech support? I'd like to see more low-lane-count SSDs like the Samsung that can use 2 lanes of PCIe 5 instead of 4 lanes of PCIe 4. Maybe one lane of PCIe 5 would be fast enough for...

In 2018 I would have still been using the Pascal Quattro. I missed out on the Turins entirely and proceeded to Ampere. I never had a GPU die, but none worked very hard like you guys with heavy gaming videos.

Building is not the issue, but I have no clue about the software and the how and why you do it.

The EL5 is no good.

I am clueless for most of what you guys are talking about, so feel free to ignore my comments. :)

I thought he was getting some low powered Celeron thing. 🤷‍♂️

I don't recall all your bodies, but does it enhance your credibility/reduce risk to get a new camera body and make the current body the 1st backup?

$/TB is a weird measurement for a single drvie. What value do you place on 0TB, i.e., the M.2 socket? I would probably say each socket is about $1000-2000, maybe less if your computer supports 8 M.2 slots. Mine are only 2-4 sockets. The 8TB WD_Black are a pretty good deal since most others...

Would I be screwed with the WD SN850X 8TB when W11 is enforced? I'm not seeing any advantage to small drives at this point. The current boot drive is encroaching on the 5 year mark. I actually have that same 1TB SN580 in the AsBOX 4x4 8840U. However, it is designated as the 2nd SSD after...

Why only the 2TB models? It's not clear if that also happens to the SSDs used in enclosures.

The R5 II is 1/160th. 1/180th is a rather weird speed, but possible. That is fast enough for most people stuff. The smaller birds will look distorted some of the time, but at high framing rates there should be enough frames to capture several that are fine. It's not clear if the R6 III will...

I read that WD is just squeezing another without HAMR, but Seagate should have the 30TB out with the HAMR. Maybe the larger drives will bring down the 24TB prices. That's the minimum size I'd replace 18TB with. I feel that all the uneven capacities, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 TB will go away at some...

Some kind of vaguely R6 III rumors... https://www.canonrumors.com/rumored-r6-mark-iii-specifications/

I need modern image processing, so archaic hardware is not going to cut it. I don't generate as much content as the Merc, but 50-200K ARW/CR3/NEF files per year is a new normal in the 20s. I work with multi GB stitched, layered images regularly (psb format). I was working with an 800...

Of course, but you guys do this stuff like a biofunction. I don't mind a weekend setting up a new build but when it changes constantly against my will it is too much stress. Does the Linux OS update itself whenever the Linuxes feel like it? My work laptop updates occasionally, but mostly that...

Fortunately you are in the IT area. I don't have the skills or energy to be chasing the changes every month or week. Once Win 10 created the laws about uncontrolled changes, I knew it was the beginning of the end. It's MS don't do any actual beta testing of the OS updates. WD is too huge...

I think I know what must be done.

Telemetry is not the same as taking screenshots within applications that don't naturally offer that functionality. Having to hack the OS regularly to keep up with it is no longer worth it for personal use. Are APPLE and Linux doing the same thing?

The problem is that the consumer chipsets have limited PCIe lanes so there is always a compromise on internal storage vs external connectivity vs video cards. I may not live long enough to see all my data internally at a humanly price. Externally there are practically no limits but slower...

You are the MAD Scientitst of NASs. :geek: I think the raw transfer rates (like SFP28) are more important than RAM or power, but I've avoided rack anything due to the howling wind noise. Every time I do the math it's like $25K for what I would want. Maybe we should play the lottery in AZ (not...

The goofball WD Elementals/My Books and Seagate One-touch/Expansion eternal drives are for the masses to have cheap local storage. I agree they don't buy many internal drives now, but the EXOS and DC drives are made for the data centers. I assume the street prices of those are based on...

I mean will W11 be spying on us using the new technology that generates the Total Recall?

So here we are a year after the first Seagate 24s and their 24TB EXOS are now about $480. The WD DC HC580 24TB are about $550. Are the prices expected to drop in 2025 or will it be very slowly?

Would an AMD 9700X be safe for a while? I don't think AMD has much intelligence.

I'm sure you would want flesh memory nowadays.

What would you do for a NAS with $10K budget?

The Terramaster are usually considered a 2nd tier Chinese NAS company compared to the Taiwanese QNAP and Synology. There are of course others like NetGear, Buffalo, AsusStor, etc. Some of the companies are less stable and/or don't have the best long term OS support. I can still update my >5...

And don't forget the animals. Dogs, cats and others really suffer during disasters. :(

Don't those four SSDs take 16 lanes in the dumb adapter? How are the other lanes occupied, 8 to the GPU and 4 to the NIC, assuming you can only use 3 slots?

Sure, the JBLODs are not good when a drive fills. However, it is the opposite of a NAS. I guess you backup to them.

Broadcom makes some MegaRAID tri-model adapters (e.g., 9500 series) that operate off the PCIe at 8 lanes regardless of the number of devices. 8x PCIe 4.0 has an aggregate bandwidth about 15GB/sec. so more than enough for practical use. I had some ideas of using two U.3 drives and 8 SATA drives...

I think Nexto went under due to the reduced cost of memory cards and the pandemonicus. I would be all in on a new sub 300g device with OTG USB Gen 2 ports (preferably in addition to CFe and SDxC) that accepts two 2280 M.2 SSDs and copies >2TB on internal battery charge for $1000 ea. if anyone...

So are you using software RAID to make a pool?

After reading the story, it seems like a good University project for people working on a degree in a related field. They should start with relatively current available products and not an ancient FF sensor. One is not building such a thing for high IQ.

I would not be surprised. Have you tried the Intel 226V? It looks like there are standards since 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5GBASE-T_and_5GBASE-T Who knows what devices truly comply.

It's just one option. Try the demo version. The paid (perpetual license) version has incremental backups, rapid delta restore, encryption, and a number of features that make it easy for a regular person not in IT to use. I normally travel with a bootable USB that has at least one image set so...

Are you saying the P50 was your personal computer? I've sometimes had to use it over the Citrix, but I always restore C: after use. Buy yourself a copy of Macrium. It saves much grief.

Both Synology and QNap have gone downhill abit, but Synology is ridiculous due to the specifically FW'd overpriced Toshiba hard drives needed. (They will work with regular drives, but there is not useful drive health data because the drives are always shown in a bad state.) 12TB or larger...

I finally got the SSD and have been testing it today in AssBOX 4x4 8840U. There are several individual chips on the top and two large ones on the bottom. The SMART data only shows one temperature. Is that from the top, bottom or just the controller? Maybe the BICS 6 is better with power than...

From what I read, 2.5 and 5GbE are much newer standards than 10GbE so are not supported by many products that came out before then. When 10GbE came out it was mostly for datacenter and backroom stuff at businesses, not for individual machines, right?

My problem was that the 3950X was not all that much better in single threads than the Haswells E that I had well overclocked almost 5 years earlier. Obviously the overall plaftorm of the X570 was much better in many ways. In 3 years then the single threadly was up 50%. Now, 5 years after the...

I have one large Z2 Storage Pool with two folders. The encryption is done by folder and can be turned on or off. That takes some time but does not affect the data. When encryption is on the folders are locked at NAS boot and it take a few minutes to fully unlock with a password. It is...
