The higher-end Synology boxes support SSDs for caching, you don't think that will be enough? 2*800 + 4*1800 = 8.8TB. You might be able to go with fewer features but a solid block of SSDs (not the DC Pro, but many others could be had for <$10k).

Similar. Most importantly they have enough drives to provide legit aggregate data (as opposed to the anecdotes that we can offer).

My public high school diploma laughs at you ;)

I found your next avatar. These systems are capable of identifying other cars and specifically excluding them from the beam. Having a hard time figuring out how this could be any more obnoxious than even old-fashioned headlights.

The other consideration is the size of the heatsink you plan to fit in there. Many of the newer designs are huge.

I've never experienced that kind of failure either, but I think you have done all the things. I'd be comfortable passing on your diagnosis at this point.

My Corsair AX1500i is big, but still only 225mm.

I thought OLED was old tech now that quantum dots was a thing?

For companies below 6 users with little turnover, I've gotten rid of centrally managed anything. NAS usernames and passwords are managed independently of workstations. More complex solutions simply aren't worth it if they only have one or two staff changes a year.

I'd say 7 years. I worked for them 8 years ago ;) Edit: Make that 14 and 15 years, respectively. Damn I'm old.

I almost added a rib at the end that you wouldn't be interested until it dropped to a crazy low price. The price I was going to use was $500 :p

I just ordered a second 4k 32" screen. If the 5k were at least 32" I would have ordered that instead.

I have no experience with that unit, but is there a reason you aren't just using the onboard controller?

The ideal monitor for JTR has arrived. 5120x2880 (5k) in a 27" package. Cheapest I can find it is $2100 though.

Thanks for the article, sharing elsewhere...

I've lost 15lbs since I started riding again, but that was the easy part. The next 2.5 stone will be harder.

The other one I hear all the time is that download is the word for the file they are downloading and the destination on the device where the downloads go.

You are lighter than I, but considering your archaic unit, that is merely a guess. At this point I am almost exactly 100kg.

I'm always a fan of positive-pressure cases. Prioritize intakes, particularly if they are filtered.

The guideline I used to hear was 1x RAM for swap. Because of the crazy amounts of RAM on the systems I use (this one has 64GB), I usually set it to 0.5x RAM.

3AM once or twice a week isn't bad at all. Been doing that for 20+ years.

As stated previously, I'm 100% happy with the ASUS options. The X99 Deluxe I have at home has one M2 port on the motherboard and includes a PCIe card that will hold another one. It has tons of overclocking features (that I've only dabbled in) and everything has just worked in Win8.1.

Reset the BIOS and remove the fish.

My Samsung Note 10.1 2014 in an Otterbox has survived my daughter for 3 weeks now. Really impressed.

More entertainment than information, but I'm sure you took it in the correct way. ;)

There was that guy he chained in his basement until he paid....was that last year?

Nope, that one will be 960 pixels high, just to drive everyone nuts.

I was just having this discussion with my boss the other week. IMO, there are two definitions to the phrase "protect our data". 1. We will always have access to our data, and will not lose access to anything. 2. No one else will gain access to our data, corporate secrets are safe. 1 is easy...

My high school was still using electric typewriters when I failed "keyboarding" in 1996. They didn't have a computer lab at all until I put one in the next year.

I actually expected you to link to this one.

Still needs to be bigger.

A friend wanted that many SSDs in his rig not because he needed the storage, but because of the looks. He ended up fabricating a rig that had them fanned out like playing cards. Kind of the computer equivalent of this: http://youtu.be/AtSwNICHyXc

Biggest insult: getting caught by Lunar in a typo. That's like being caught by Lance Armstrong for doping....

Grr....PUI?

Yup. I've just started riding again after about 7 months off the bike. If I can loose 20lbs and gain 15% power I should be able to pull it off. Perhaps March? I've made the decision to not ride the bike without a 50lb trailer until the racing season starts again, should provide quite the mental...

I've hated ASUS boards for over a decade; every time I was burned by something stupid and have sworn them off for at least a year. However, the two X99 systems I've built have both run ASUS boards and I've been really impressed. Useful features, great stability, no comparability issues (even...

For the record, I'm not running a FF setup either (original 7D). The quality is good enough to tell the difference between the excellent and less so "L" lenses.

Tried one of the steep but short climbs with a loaded trailer today. 34 ring, 32 on the cassette, 4mph, 400w, 200bpm, probably 60 rpm. That was a big world of pain. I normally put out 400w on that climb, but it is normally over in 90 seconds. This took 6 minutes. My eventual goal is to be...

Thanks for that Lunar, lots of good stuff.

I'm running this SIIG 2-port KVM on my 4K Dell display without issue via DisplayPort. 32" is workable even with non-resizable icons @ 4k, but 36"+ would be perfect.

I'm recommending Canon because that is what I know. There could be better options on the Nikon side, but I don't know them at all. Of the photo folks on here I think most are Canon with one Olympus and Lunar running both Canon and Nikon gear. If you are starting from scratch and don't plan on...

8.1 is only usable with Classic Shell installed. Then it is just as good as 7 (arguably better).

A $1k budget is really the bare minimum entry IMHO. It will get you a third-tier body with a kit lens or a third-tier lens. I'd recommend a 60D with the 18-135. I prefer second-tier bodies and top-end glass, but even $2k might be a stretch for that. 6D with the 24-105 kit lens is currently...

The Canon 10-22 is a fine enough lens, but I don't find myself using it much. The 17-40 and 24/1.4 have so much better IQ that I'd rather recompose than compromise.

It would take a major screw up for one of the really large cloud folks to lose data considering all the redundancy in their systems. Even if they do fail, I have an agreement with Backupify (and have tested it) as plan B.

Thanks for that. Great read.

That is basically what I use my old X-series thinkpad for. Perhaps there is a used market for those?

Ended up going with the Epson V600.

I had this issue a few years ago, and I'm struggling to remember how I did it. I can tell you it worked, because the vm is still live. Pretty sure it involved an older version of converter, possibly a copy of the drive connected as a secondary on another box.

Thanks guys, I'll pass on the suggestions!
