    But they do account for my abysmal file copy rate to the array don't they? For the major part the files being written are BD and DVD movie rips in file mode, some ISOs too. Generally lots of really big files with some small ones thrown in. Oh and thanks for the chart!

    My jibe yesterday was mostly rhetorical. Yeah, what Buck said and note that both of which are 1.5v modules. Plenty of memory out there that doesn't need to be overvolted. Starting with the HCL is a really good idea too...

    This year I think we will have snow till about June. For a minute there I thought it stopped snowing but it's just the really fine stuff now. That is a standard backdrop picture that I didn't even ask for in photobucket. Actually it crossed my mind that I might want to turn off themes to see...

    Yeah I ran iperf up to six minutes and it still came back with this. 0.0-360.0 sec 33.7 GBytes 803 Mbits/sec Plus end to end I do actually see a little over 73MB/s if I go to my mirror, and I am perfectly happy with that. That's the number reported by windows explorer file copy in win7...

    Well not good news. Array finished initializing fine and shows healthy. On the windows softRAID5 array of eight ST32000542AS I made a new share and started copying files. They started transferring at 53MB/s but quickly dropped to about 17MB/s and stayed there for a good 20 minutes before I...

    Crap, I just found the move in the app. Updated January 10th. I looked for the ability to do those things for a long time around Christmas so either I was drunk or they fixed the app.

    Precisely, also in the app for iPhone they used to have the ability to move photos between folders and I think even upload into the right folder to start with. Near as I can tell they removed both in the current app.

    Is it me or does photobucket suck lately? I tell it to put it in a specific folder when I upload then it ignores me and puts it in a default folder. Upload doesn't even work with firefox anymore, have to use IE.

    problem Computer crash when processing large amounts of data

    I'm sure it was a money based decision, you just can't keep selling crap that doesn't work process all the returns and still make a profit. From what I understand on most of the drives is they are just a sticker and a vendor channel for the makers, which is a good thing here I guess.

    problem Computer crash when processing large amounts of data

    My point is that OCZ sells out of spec, overclocked memory that may or may not have been tested at all. If you get memory that meets the specifications of the chipset you don't need to do these things.

    Yeah, I need to do something else, this is intolerable. Major thoughts on my mind are will microsoft soft RAID5 be any better or do I just go straight for a PERC6i? If I do go PERC6i will it care about my motherboard only doing PCIEx4 and the card being PCIEx8?

    I haven't read one story anywhere that had someone fry a CPU that wasn't doing something like raising the voltage to insane levels or actually hurt the thing mechanically.

    SSD question

    My intel G2 says 1.5TB host writes and media wearout indicator of 98, not worried about using this thing up at all. I made the argument on another forum that even with media wearout they are still going to have a longer and more reliable life on average over mechanical drives.
