I'm using a 1tb ssd in my qnap box for cache shenanigans... not sure it makes much difference but i'll pretend it does heh.. I don't transfer many small files, as it's mostly a glorified plex server

I wonder what the determining factor is? Version of hulu installed? Version of the nvidia software running?

that's very strange...I have two of them and have Hulu on both...works great?

On my main gaming machine I'm running a combination. 1x 1tb m2 drive 960 evo, 1x 8tb micron nvme u.3 drive, 1x 2tb 870 qvo, and a 2tb wd black spinner... the 2tb is the oldest drive in the rig and over time will eventually be replaced, but it's sitting at 92k hours powered on so i'm going to...

those numbers really make me want to move the card to a 4.0 lane and really get the performance out of it

watching this... i need more drives for my NAS gotta see if i can scrounge the money for a few of 'em!

So...after a few days of use(still in the 2.0 slot) the seat of the pants difference is insane... Load times are cut by significantly more than half. With WarThunder and BF2042 I would usually join games and they would already be starting on a new map load. Now I can join in and the game will...

How expensive is their desk? What color is the interior of their GTR... We gotta know these things before we know if we're going to let them in...

Crosshair 6 Hero, x370 chipset. It's in the bottom 2.0 x4 slot... I thought about trying to work it out to use the 3.0 slot next to the gpu but was afraid the heat soak would become a problem. might try it just for shits to see what it does, but i'm doing 10x the throughput and seat of the...

Well...4 hours in and finally done. Everything has been swapped over, data integrity looks good. Now to the benches...The difference is outstanding just from a pure throughput perspective. I'll chime in later after I get a few rounds of gaming in! The old drive was a WD Black 2TB drive...

So...2 hours into cloning everything over and I'm only at 50%... Might get to use the drive tonight...jesus

Drive came in today. Got it installed, fired up macrium and am cloning my game drive over to it. Will get a benchmark off of the drive once everything is copied over and I have a chance to nuke the spinny drive from rotation until i can format it and get it running as an unpack drive...

Ended up with this one, not the cheapest but had good reviews if you trust the bots on amazon... Now if the drive will just show up...

Apparently FedEx hates me... The drive was supposed to be shipped 2 day from Brownsville and it disappeared in fort worth... I hate my life. Should've had it installed and running yesterday but noooo. At least the u.2 adapter card came in all but next day. It's sad when Amazon does that good...

I did the u.2 card and that 7.7 micron drive. All in for ~340. Couldn't get anywhere close to that with a standard m.2/adapter or SATA 2.5 drive... I'm curious how the setup will bench...not that it really matters...I only want it to load games faster heh

how much CPU overhead is required for the USB to maintain that 5-10Gbps? I really don't want another dongle hanging off of this box heh

That's the direction I ended up going. For $48 more roughly I'm doubling my storage I'm adding. Will report back on a few days with the results!

that looks like a solid option... I don't suppose getting windows to talk to that thing once it's in an adapter will be an issue would it?

Sadly my motherboard is 1 generation too old to support pcie bifurcation, at least according to asus. Looked into that. I do have a few pcie slots open that could use a single stick m2 drive though... Was hoping to go 2.5" just due to cost and the fact that my old cooler master cosmos case...

It seems like they've gone full speed towards the m.2 form factor for new drives. Can anyone give me any suggestions on a 2tb+ SSD in the 2.5 form factor? My motherboard only has a single M.2 slot and it's already being taken up by my OS drive. Looking to replace the last spinner drive in...

PM incoming

Do these need the pin mod to power on in a NAS? I'm interested in 5 of them but gotta see if I can get the funds together. I'll shoot you a pm when I get home this evening

So...I'm pretty photoshop illiterate and needing to take a face from one photo facing the proper direction and replace it onto another photo where the person is looking off to the side. Are there any AI's out there that can do this? Given that the most capable program I currently have on my...

I just picked up a Tab S8+ for just under $400 used in perfect condition. Love it

I have something very similar on my motorcycle. Handy little devices!

I've been doing the same research myself. I have a UDM-SE and a HDD to throw in...but have you priced a PTZ camera from ubiquiti? Their prices are INSANE. Can get a similarly specced camera from reolink for ~200 compared to the 1800 for a single unifi PTZ cam. Their closed ecosystem refusing...

I'm definitely a fan of Ramen. I typically go for the Indo-mi me gorang or if i'm feeling really fancy I'll go with a Curry Lamian or Lahksa Lamian from Prima Taste. little more expensive and more involved cooking it but man it's damn good. Throw in a small can of pre-cooked chicken and it's...

Looking to upgrade my ram in my laptop. Currently running 16gb and with brave and Diablo 4 running it maxes out. Doesn't require any crazy timings as it isn't overclocking just anything over 2100. What y'all got?

So, I've been chasing a problem with a 1800x for probably 2 years now. Have replaced everything in the system sans CPU and Motherboard. Finally was turned on to the idea that 'hey maybe the memory controller in your cpu is borked"... I've never heard of that happening but I had the...

man i hate buying new but for that price....

Another bump. Possibly interested in other 5k series chips but specifically the 58x3d

I saw that haha. Nearest microcenter to me in 5 hours away. Which is either terrible or great for me depending on which side of my wallet you're looking at

I'm looking to replace my aging(likely failing) 1800x and the 5800x3d is actually supported by my old Crosshair6 hero board. The original plan was to build a 7800x3d and move to DDR5 and AM5 but real life and bills have prevented that for the time being at least. I'm a little weary of buying...

the board I'm currently running will run up to a 3000 series CPU but the chipset doesn't support the 5ks... I was way too early getting into the Ryzen game haha

I have no desire to be locked back into the AM4 platform. I would like the 'option' to upgrade after the fact if I did so choose without scrapping the entire build, whereas with the AM4 5800x3d I would have to buy a whole new MB, Ram and CPU again. The only thing I could carry over to a AM4...
