In case anyone wonders, the reason being my recent production drop is here : https://folding.stanford.edu/home/big-adv-program-ends-january-31/ I knew it was coming and now it's effective. I don't know what's the most effective way to contribute to the project from now on. Based on Handruin's...

If the audio input is a 1/8" jack stereo, then it is.

I didn't know Sedrosken was a sock puppet of Mercutio.

Get a pair of Creative T10 instead. Or Logitech Z200 if you want something even cheaper and a bit smaller. If you really want loud, you can go with the Creative T20, but they are bigger. Yes, all of these are Creative Labs, but for 2.0 speakers, they are among the best, or at least were last...

Screw them.

Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning is generally the best time for servers maintenance. It is my designated time frame for performing upgrades on servers at work and it probably is Handruin's too for maintenance on StorageForum.net.

We did more than 61 million points in January. Congratulations team StorageForum!

At least she spends time with your daughter. Children don't really see and care about the judgment errors adults do. But they notice the time we spend playing and taking care of them. She might not be a light bulb, but she obviously care about your daughter. I believe there's credit to be...

You'll need to plug it to a 20A circuit not to blow the fuse, in North America at least. Unless your computer is a server, I don't really understand the need for a 2000W power supply. You could plug enough graphic cards on that thing to play Crisis on a quad 4K monitor setup, but who does...

It doesn't seem to be thick enough to fit two LFF drives into it. The other possibility giving the enclosure's size, 4x 2TB SFF drives, would cost a lot more than what they ask for it.

I don't see the download link. I read that in order to download, we're supposed to click thanks, but there's no link there. I've tried on two different browsers. Is it so fucking hard to provide an obvious download link? That should be quite useful if I'm able to get it. I have to install...

Isn't the LG G3 the one with the SnapDragon 810 chip for which LG is considering legal action against Qualcomm regarding overheating issues, or is it another model?

The only member I remember having chat with is Time, a few years ago, when I set up a computer on which he could open an RDP session via an Hamachi VPN. It was obvious then that my first langage isn't English as I typed slowly my replies. It was barely faster than if I wrote him a letter...

I plan on using deduplication. Also, that file server will be for an office of 30 to 50 employees, but many of them are not your typical MS Office user type. Half of them will probably try to store and run one or more VM over the network. There's also a lot of .iso transfers.

The higher-end Synology only accept LFF SATA drives and they cost close to 6000$ CDN. I've also looked at QNAP's offerings, but the models with SFF SAS drives cost around 10000$. Both the Synology and QNAP's high-end models use a Xeon E3 for the processing, therefore they are limited to 32GB...

I've used this for months on my Hyper-V Servers, since I only have a command prompt otherwise. I've also used WindirStats.

I need to build a new fileserver for one of the company I work for. We use a Synology NAS for the archives, but it isn't fast enough for the live data. I need auto-tiering and LDAP authentification. I plan to use a standard server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition. I might also...

Good speakers make a greater difference than a good amplifier. In your budget, I would try the Paradigm Atom Monitor. They are available at Audio Active Australia (here's a place where you can spot them on Australia's map). Their store is in the Northern Territory, right next to your area...

You do remove the plastic layer at the bottom of the heatsinks before installing them, don't you? A 4790K is not supposed to be very hard to cool, considering it's TDP rating is only 84W. If you don't overclock, even the retail heatsink should be enough.

Or maybe he just lives in Cuba.

If you compare both with 25% overprovisioning, the results, particularly on random writes, are comparable. So unless you plan to almost completely fill your drive, you won't see much difference between the two. I would get the slightly cheaper, slightly higher capacity drive.

Can't you just boot in safe mode by pressing F8 during the Windows launch sequence?

ASRock X99 Extreme4. 231$ at NewEgg. x4 PCI-E M.2 slot. Looks decent. Neither MSI nor Gigabyte. Worth a shot IMO.

Sometimes, there are higher definition panels available for a particular laptop model, but I don't see any for your model.

Time, the x4 M.2 slot on the ASRock Extreme6 uses PCI-E lanes from the x16 PCI-E slot, dropping that one to x8 when used. I doubt Lunar is a hard core gamer, so I don't think it would affect him much. Also, the price I've seen for the Samsung SM951 is around 750U$ for the 512GB model, which...

Should have been : I run the FAH client on two virtual machines, each occupying about 79% of the available resources of servers worth ~13000$ a piece (in Fall of 2013 at least). If you check the overall worth of Handruin's Folding farm, it's at least 5000$. So no, you can't compete (but it...

Of Handruin's list, pick the ASRock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard. It has a 3rd Gen x4 M.2 slot, so you'll be able to put a Samsung SM951 SSD at full speed when they'll be available.

Because we're old and we're full of $$$!!!

Kakao stats is no more. As an aside, here's a link (in portuguese) to the state of our stats back in 2004 : http://web.archive.org/web/20040907101055/http://kakaostats.net/t.php?t=10047 Mark has really been the leader of the team for quite a while. At least from 2004 until late 2013 when I...

All you need to install is the graphic card driver. The HDMI audio driver too. You can leave all the rest. This is only a test graphic card so don't bother too much.

Do you have a spare graphic card and a spare monitor? Otherwise, it will be difficult to diagnose for sure. Regarding the possibility of the mainboard, you could stream audio and wait for the next video outage. If the audio keeps playing when the screen blacks out, then it's probably not the...

Thanks to all. It has been a great year for our team. I haven't compiled the stats yet (and I won't tonight as I'm quite tired), but we've more than doubled our total contribution from all the previous years. It's been a phenomenal global effort and we've finally climbed back into the top 100...

Since I despise low-definition screens, I cannot recommend any of the ~200$ Chromebook currently out there, but the Toshiba Chromebook 2 (model #CB35-B3340) has a fullHD IPS 13.3" screen and 4GB of RAM. The storage is scant at 16GB and it comes with Chrome OS pre-installed, which can be easily...

Otherwise, you can visit this page and draw your own conclusions.

Ten years ago, I recommended Epson scanners as their color reproduction, while not perfect, was better than most other brands. Nowadays, I do not know if it is still true. I haven't revisited the subject in years. Our big multifonction printers at the office do an ok job for scanning...

32GB DDR4 LRDIMM sticks are still quite rare. It's easier to find the HP part number 726722-S21 than almost any other similar module. Although it is obviously not on Supermicro's compatibility list for their X10 motherboards, since the memory controller is on the processor, I would expect an...

You need her permission to buy stuff with the money you've earned? Good thing I've never had a wife or she would have become an ex-wife pretty quickly. Just curious but what do you guys expect to do with a smart watch? The device is too small to have any real processing power and even if it...

Honestly, I don't know what to think of it. In theory, it could be a good thing as it could give them more means to access content and hardware for their reviews. However, the world being what it is, they'll probably end up like an elaborated advertising vitrine for big tech companies, much...

My coworker mentionned it today, but I forgot to check it until I read your post. Thanks for reminding me.

What I don't like with this drive is the unrecoverable error rate : 1 per 10^14. So every 12 drives fill or so, there will be an unrecoverable error. That's a so-so backuping solution.

Uncleanly.

Works better when you follow the http : // model. The easiest imaging program I've used is Easeus Todo Backup. I've not tried moving to a smaller volume, but there must be a way to do it inside the software.

I won't contribute this time. Not that I think Sedrosken is not a nice young member, but I believe donating him a new computer will partially deprive him of the earning concept of ownership. Handruin's and JTR's donations were different stories. One is the maintainer of the site and spent...

That's what I understand of it, at least.

The 850 Pro uses 3D V-NAND while the 840 EVO uses TLC NAND. Here's your evidence. The 3D V-NAND flash chips are rated for 6000 program/erase cycles while the TLC NAND chips are only good for ~1000 P/E cycles. Even if they would use the same controller, the 850 Pro would outlast the 840 EVO...

I know that a few months ago, I've searched how much it would cost to add an HP-rebranded SSD into an Elitebook laptop. ~700$ is what they asked. Of course, I ended up buying the SSD elsewhere, but OEMs still charge the same price for SSDs as if it was still 2008. It's just as bad for servers...

There are two Samsung 840 SSD in the review : one EVO and one Pro. The Pro version is still working after 2PTBW, but the EVO crapped out at ~700TBW IIRC. The Pro version doesn't use TLC chips, but the EVO does. I strongly considers the Samsung 850 Pro, but I wouldn't buy an EVO model, even...

My back is ok now. Like I wrote, it only hurt for a few days. I'm back to weight lifting tomorrow. On a completly different theme, Hagupit is heading right o Paugie's location. If he wasn't too much touched by Haidan last year, it doesn't look good for this one. The typhoon should still be...
