About 6 hours, I think. I had no front-end IO going though.

sure, but I have all the 8T drives :p And rebuilding off an 8T drive is WAY faster than a 24.

Yup. Lots of thunderbolt to fast nic for macs (especially since the new mac pro is kinda a joke), but they're weird on most OSes. I've tried - and USB just doesn't cut it for large scale things. Tbolt is better, but... still buggy for some things. Yup. The important stuff goes on boxes...

Dammit, same. I also purged it. Took one last glance yesterday, and sighed - waiting on Ryzen 8k, and I'll move away from HEDT on the primary.

60T? Uh... yeah, I'm thinking a different scale. My current archive build will have 10 of those 20T drives (starting with 10 8T, will swap them out over time). :D I do weird shit. So you'd need 4 of them, and we know that's an issue on DDR5 period - so... still not there :-/ But it's...

I'm running an average of 75% used on 128G right now. :p VMs burn through it FAST if you're doing enterprise ones. The servers have 2T or 3T depending on the box. I aim for half of maximum on any workstation or consumer system.

The TB4 to QSFP adapters were not popular, buggy as shit, and best handled with an external PCIE enclosure with an actual ~card~ in it. They also get hot as shit (like hot enough to melt things), which meant that "external" device either weighed a few pounds (heat sinks) or cooked itself. Many...

It'll tell you which nodes - if you bother to hook it all back up again. And no, the AI chips would run rings around it.

Teams auto-starting and ignoring the "don't start" option is garbage through and through. It's also a shitty program regardless.

I work in the security industry. I've done my research. Have you? Security ALWAYS fails. Assume breach. Always.

They use totally different fabs - the issue I suspect (and you're REALLY close imho) is that the old fabs are finally wearing out, and cost of maintaining them isn't justified given the reduced use of the older process. Might also be environmental concerns (fabs aren't clean), etc - so shut it...

So you'd rather just get compromised?

I really do not like alyx (see my post in the game review thread) - great demo, crap game, do better valve. I did pick up Radius, the wife loves moss, and I got red matter 1/2 and another one too. Just takes so much effort to fire up VR for anything significant...

Same. Driving me nuts. The workstation performance is great, but lord is the non-workstation... weak. Not terrible, mind you, but weak weak weak. Same struggle I'm having. I'm getting close to "gonna have to live with x4s on the third and fourth slot." Let me know if you find one Zenith...

It is very strange... I really love the souls series - I never thought I would, but I've literally spent a year now running through them back-to-back. Elden Ring lost everything that made "Souls" special in pursuit of streamer-friendly flashiness and spastic 20-year-old-on-ritalin hyper...
