    Where are the Desktop PCIe SSDs?

    there is a lot of mis-information here, I'm sure the Unknown-One just had it mixed up for a moment... i didn't want someone to read this and buy a bunch of stuff , so let me correct it. 1. getting a mSATA SSD and a pci-e to mini-pci-e adapter will simply not work... although they will...

    Need a new TV

    I would give a strong recommendation to LG LED smart TVs, 2011/2012. I got an IPS 42-incher and the screen quality is great, but I am not an IQ expert. The LG netflix app used to suck, but they have continually updated it to where it's now pretty good. LG (unlike all? other mfgrs)...

    Intel DH77DF (Dry Fork) ITX motherboard

    that's one way to look at it... no motherboard should 'hang' just because two screens are plugged in.

    Intel DH77DF (Dry Fork) ITX motherboard

    just fyi, my experience with the DH77DF was strange: i have 2 LCDs 1. Apple LED 27-inch via mini-DP with mini-dp to dp passive adapter 2. Dell LED 24-inch via DVI if they are both plugged into this board, the displays will not turn on when the computer does. if i unplug either display, the...

    Intel DH77DF (Dry Fork) ITX motherboard

    I just got one of these things from bottom line telco, they seem to have them in-stock.. also beach audio seems to have them, but i think they are the same company, or at least share the same warehouses

    Thoughts on an unusual SFF system..?

    the DH77DF has 5 sata (including 1x esata) and 1 mpcie for wifi (presumably) and 1 pcie asus has a Z77-I deluxe http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1677993 has 6 sata (including 2x esata) [which you could easily route back in with esata -> sata cables] and 1 mpcie slot including a...

    raid5 issues

    but again, even if fedora can see the raid array, it'll see a failed array with no good data, since even the raid firmware thinks there are 2 drives missing, does it have FakeRAID tools to manipulate what drives are members of what array? i found this, appears to be a very similar problem...

    raid5 issues

    so I'm in ubuntu 10.10 now, and no there is no raid volume, keep in mind this is not like a windows driver issue, the raid controller's firmware/bios lists the array as failed, and lists 2 drives as members, and the other two as non-members, so switching OSs wont magically make the array normal...

    ok so ive had a 4x2TB(samsung HD204UI w/firmware patch) raid5 array working normally for about a month. It was in a h57 gigabyte motherboard using the intel raid with windows 7 x64. Today I got an intel h67 motherboard, so I upgraded the intel raid drivers to 10.1.0.1008 from 9.6.0.1014...

    well the two links i gave previously. i agree that the test from the hardocp dude suggests there is something funky going on... but the other two show it to be fine, under more normal/direct tests... Given those tests i'd have to lean on the side of it being fine.. but another test would be...

    haha well everything plugged into the wall is powered by AC, many devices convert it to DC at various points... I'm unconvinced the KAW is significantly inaccurate. The real test is the obvious test... plug in a computer, do some benchmark or whatever, look at power usage... from the...
