What do you mean by left behind? There were no collisions, so the Mini-Van was all in one piece. ;) The three Americans stayed with the vehicle. The Asians and Euros were left behind as planned.

There was some snow today, but the Mini-Van was not a problem. The engine moved over 600 miles in 48 hours, but the rental was unlimited. ;)

They don't design cars nowadays to be jacked around a couple times per year?

I was just thinking that some motherboards have the 10GbE now, but it's just the regular RJ45 not the SFP+ modular. It's probably not worthwhile. If you have 3 computers and 2 storage servers/NAS, for example all on the SFP+ interface, what switch do you use to connect them all?

I'd rather see some graphs and a written explanation of the data. 12 minutes is a joke to present so little data. The main question I have is how often do you switch the tires? The weather forecast must be key, but unless you have a truck to haul tires back and forth from a shop or equipment...

What would you use that has both types of ports? I can only find the QNAP with the bad reviews.

Lately I see more NAS products and the motherboards using Base-T. What are people using for 10GbE switches? I know there was the MicroTic, but it doesn't bridge SFP+ and Base-T.

I have an old 10K WD drive with a clear poly cover. The actuators are quite noticeable when running the random access tests. It is interesting for a few minutes. I suppose it will be years before there are any NAS that support these drives. This new style effectively adds nearly another...

The Chinese foods?

It is finally a happening!

I'd buy from Dell. Are you a spammer?

Can this discussion be moved to that thread about USB politics?

Would you consider anything less? :) I don't understand where the M.2 SSDs are located? Are they hidden under the board? It seems that a lot of breakdown/reassembly would be needed every time they are swapped.

$2500 is a lot of Discs. 😲

Maybe they are different in the northern zones, but I went into a Wal-Mart about 15-20 years ago. The customers were very strange. 😧.

Bummer. 😟

±2% means little to me compared to other factors. I'll probably get Venegance. Those goofy, LED, tall RAM modules might hit the heatsink. :(

I don't see any specs for that on the AMD site. What are the timing requirements?

Maybe the latency is a little less, but It's not worth double to me.

What would you use for the RAM? According to AMD the Rhizome 3950x needs DDR4-3200, but I can't find any 3200MHz 32 GB modules. The 32GB modules are only available in slower speeds such as 2666. The other option is 4x16GB, but 64GB total RAM seems low going into the 2020s. :(

I found this slide. The big question is if those "16x Graphics" lanes are only for graphics or if some can be used for the SAS/SATA HBA? From reading multiple mainboard specs, the first two PCIe slots are normally the primary 16x (either 16x, 0 or 8x, 8x) and the third is a 4x slot that would...

Yikes! Some of those x570 boards are $750. :( I never paid more than $300 before for MB. What is so special about the AMD chipset?

I know that the 16x slots degenerate to 8x. That is fine with me, but the total number of slots on many boards is well over the number of PCIe lanes so something has to give. I had a bad experience with the Asus and the last two Gigabytes boards died too early. Now I have the two MSI that have...

I'm not an expert in the PCIe architecture, but several previous boards have hardware shared lanes. Therefore a device will simply not be recognized if there is a conflict. Examples are M.2, PCIe, SATA, Thunderbowls and other integrated devices.

Maybe I could use a 4x PCIe card for SATA to save some lanes? Most of them are cheap so I'm suspicious.

I'm not sure how the lanes are divided on the PCIe bus. I need a video card, 10GbE SPF+ Ethernet, SATA/SAS controller, and ideally two M.2 SSDs. I could probably live with one M.2.

It seems like the single cores are about the same or maybe the 3950X is a bit faster per core than the 3970X due the heat dispersion. Anyways, I'm not seeing much need for all those cores of the better CPUs. I just need to figure out how to live with the measly number of PCIe lanes provided by...

I had problems with two series of Athalon XP CPUs and new mainboards that wouldn't boot with them due to the BIOS. That's why I'd rather have a new chipset with the new CPU.

I don't quite understand why the young guy is ranting, but it's typical for the internet. (n) I wish they'd hire some writers that would just publish the test results without editorializing. I miss Ra.

Does a new motherboard's BIOS support the new CPUs right out of the box?

I'd wait for the normal users.

I assume they just have whatever the manufacturer specifies for the vehicle, like some cheap general purpose Korean tire. The treads depend on the age and some rentals are newer than others. I won't accept a vehicle without checking all four tires, but choices are often limited.

For some reason the QNAP take forever to boot. This one requires five minutes and announces the status in a synthetic female voice. Synology units take about 1.5-2 minutes to boot. It's not a matter of CPU, just QNAP mentality. I'll probably leave the NAS on and live with the ~40W power drain.

In December I must travel in a in a rental car NJ and NY, and see Pennsylvanians. I doubt that it will have any tires. If I lived in the frozen North, I'd have some kind of ice and snow vehicle for winter use.

But why is the interface or other performance bottleneck asymmetrical in the opposite way from the conventional wisdom that reads are faster than writes? The QNAP 10GbE card in the NAS is wired directly to the 10GbE Intel adapter in the computer, but I also tried a Quantia 10GbE adapter in the...

Just like my other NSA units the write speed is always faster than the read speed. I never can understand the rationale for that. Regular drives always have faster reads than writes.

The heat distribution is not so good on the auto settings. What are your thoughts on the desired hard drive temperatures? ^ They range from 34-43°C from left to right. The CPU is on auto and 57°C, but still under load from the array building.

Probably not, but I upgraded to a different unit recently. Do to my pending relocation, I put together another NAds with eight of the cheap 10TB drives. I tried various potions and really don't see any practical advantages to the Storage Pools, Thin/Thick volumes or the Snapshots. I also...

No way. Think how many TB of hard drives that would buy. ;)

It looks different again, especially the circular user icons. The format is fine for my satellite, but some others are a bit truncated now. Is the new software possibly better at impeding the Chinese?

I'm sorry. I didn't intend to cause any problems. :( I didn't say what I was doing in the bathroom.

That's crazy. o_O

You are the one being graphic!

There was another fire in Topanga Canyon this weekend. :( It was a minor fire compared to some of the big ones like in 2005. I drove that road a thousand times and fire is so scary. :eek:

The internet will not connect to most sites when the clock sets to 1969. SF doesn't even exist. What software do you use to set the clock automatically at boot? The one I have is obviously not right.

No, I was in the toilet at the time.

Goniometers are made from cheap crap these days. Nobody expects them to be golden retriever proof, but still...

I've been a proponent of the 80% utilization paradigm as the baseline for so many years.

So he has at least 500GB. Maybe he has 1250GB. ;)
