Would it be too risky to connect 2 expanders RES2SV240 to the LSi 9264-8i controller? the expander would have 5 ports left and I plan on connecting 2TB SATA HDD x20 to each expander, and setup RAID 6 on both of them and that should yield approximately 36TB per expander, would the RAID card get...
Looking for a full tower ATX case with the most SATA HDD bays, majority that I saw only have 5~6 bays, i need something that can hold at least 10, any recommendation?
8x Hitachi 2TB drives connected to the Lsi 9265-8i controller, I'm debating which RAID configuration to go with? RAID 5 only allow 1 drive failure, rebuilding data will take ages and it would be disastrous if I lose a 2nd drive during rebuild, RAID 6 allow two drives failure simultaneously but...

According to Tomshardware review, the Areca 1880i(previous model with only 512MB cache)...
Does any of the LSI, Areca, Adaptec, Intel, or Highpoint RAID card allow trim with one SSD connected? or does it has to be connected to the mobo to get TRIM?

Looking for a good SATA III RAID controller under $500, need to be compatible with an older Asus P6T Deluxe mobo on Windows 7 64bit OS. Will use it to host a single Samsung 830 256GB SSD, and 3x SATA III 7200K HDD on the controller in RAID 0.
Have a 920 D0 with Asus P6T Deluxe mobo, I’m running 4x 1TB in RAID 0 on SATA II port 3, 4, 5, and 6 with the intel raid, port 1 is for DVD drive, if I connect my SSD in port 2 would the drive still have TRIM? Or do I need to get rid of the RAID rray and change to AHCI mode for the TRIM...
Can someone please suggest a good SATA3 controller card to run a Samsung 830 256GB SSD? RAID or no RAID doesn't matter. My Asus P6T Deluxe only have SATA2 ports so it can't take full advantage of the SSD, still waiting for ivy bridge so I won't be upgrading my core i7 920 at the moment.
Can I use the Spectraview II Colorimeter with different calibration software? which one would work with it? mine came with the NEC PA271W-SV as a kit and looks exactly like this one.
I tried Lacie Blue Eye Pro 4.5.6 and HCFR 2.1 but neither one of them work with this colorimeter. :(
This is what my 5 years old 37" Westinghouse 1080P LCD looks like right now, those marking are getting worst and worst, they don't show on very bright and solid red, green, or blue, only in grayish background. color temperature is also way off by now, white screen has yellow tint and patches...
My NEC PA271W-SV went back to B&H due to defects, now I'm having a 2nd guess on my decision to go with it in the first place. I use the monitor for photo editing (Canon 5D mark2) and watching bluray through my PC, I do not game. After much debates I came to the conclusion of sticking with sRGB...
Just received my new NEC PA271W-SV, the screen panel appear to be quite lose and not flush to the bezel, when I press the screen gently it made this wobbly/clicking noise, those of you who own the PA241W, PA271W, PA301W, or any other IPS panel...does your monitor do this? please see video I took...
I have a creative x-fi soundcard for gaming, unfortunately the digital(SPDIF) out can only carry 2 channel signal, from what I understand all creative soundcards can not carry 5.1 or 7.1 signal over the optical or coax cable for gaming, watching DVD in 5.1 or 7.1 is fine though. So, is there...
