So now we have to worry about jetpacks emitting chemtrails too?

It's alive!

I read most of that article and I still don't understand what the Internet of Everything is. They use weird, wishy-washy language in the definition that doesn't really tell me anything.

If the SATA ports are on different controllers like you said then you will have to go with a software RAID solution.

That does matter very much. 204-pin SODIMM's are laptop memory. The one you posted is desktop memory. You should also verify how many slots are in the system and how many are occupied. The system could have one memory module, so you may only need to purchase one 4GB instead of a 2x4GB kit.

I think it's pretty obvious from the pictures that it will not be able to fit a MicroATX motherboard. Even if the board physically fit, you would be sacrificing two expansion slots.

Is it possible to add a drive to a RAID 5 array and have the system implement this drive into the array without re-doing the array all together? Example: I have 3 1.5TB drives in a RAID 5 with a total of about 2.5TB full. Can I add another 1.5TB drive without backing up the data and...

I have finally come to the conclusion that the first memory slot is defective. The system will not POST with memory installed in the first slot in any configuration. I have updated to the latest chipset drivers and BIOS versions. I tried the settings that Manny is using on a very similar...

A single module is not supposed to work in the first slot. The manual says that when installing a single module to put it in the third slot.

Those settings that you posted, Manny, do not quite match up with my BIOS, can you check them? I changed most of them to match what you posted, but the system will still not POST with the memory installed in the dual channel slots and then the settings change back to "auto" when I reinstall the...

I just purchased and installed a 2GB (2x1GB) DDR400/PC3200 Corsair Value kit. The memory will not work in dual channel no matter how I install it. According to the manual for the memory to work in dual channel the modules should be installed in the first and third slots. When this is done the...

Apparently I stumbled onto the very easy solution for this. All I had to do was boot into Windows (which I didn't even think would work) and use the RAID application there to tell it to rebuild the array. Now the new drive is showing up as part of the RAID set in the Silicon RAID configuration...

The drives are connected to the Silicon RAID controller, not the nVIDIA chipset controller. I have looked in the UI for this and have only seen 6 options: Create RAID set, Delete RAID set, Rebuild a RAID1 set, Resolve Conflicts, Low Level Format, and Logical Drive Info. I do not see any option...

I am currently working on a system that has a four drive RAID 5 configuration. One of the hard drives failed and has since been replaced. What needs to be done to make sure that the new drive will work properly with the original array? The motherboard is a Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe.
