    FS: DDR4 16GB and 32GB ECC Registered RAM (RDIMMs)

    Google Wallet/Zelle/etc preferred as PayPal fees add up. Will also entertain trades since I like new toys and rotate through hardware regularly, though currently not in need of a whole lot. I think my reputation should help: Heatware Local pickup available in Phoenix. Will ship internationally...

    FS: ASRock RX 5700

    Google Wallet or USPS money order preferred. PayPal fees have been adding up. I think my reputation should help: Heatware Local pickup available in Phoenix. Pretty self-explanatory as per the title. It's in excellent physical condition and will ship in the original box. Has the reference...

    Are Samsung QVO SSD's good for storage?

    I think a lot of people forget that hard drives have workload limitations too, which are considerably lower than even a QLC SSD. Both Seagate and WD rate their consumer hard drives at 55TB per year, and unlike SSDs, that's combined reads and writes. SSDs have effectively unlimited reads and are...

    Are Redundant PSU Adapters a Thing?

    Then balance the loads so that they're similar or get a bigger UPS. You're making this unnecessarily complex and trying to spend money on things that could be put to say another UPS.

    Are Redundant PSU Adapters a Thing?

    You're worried about UPS load with a 60W PSU and actual draw that's a fraction of that? If you need more runtime, get a larger UPS or expansion units for it if yours supports it. How many hours do you really need for a router when everything else is going to be dead long before it manages to...

    Are Redundant PSU Adapters a Thing?

    You want an automatic transfer switch, not some frankenstein attempt at hooking up two ATX PSUs.

    When are we going to get beyond 5tb in the 2.5inch form factor - what is the hold up?

    Large 2.5" drives are 15mm thick and have never fit in a laptop. Either get a high capacity SSD or USB hard drive.

    Are Samsung QVO SSD's good for storage?

    Your backup drive doesn't need to remain perpetually connected. I only plug mine in when performing a backup.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Unfortunately the CacheCade feature isn't supported on the newer tri-mode (9400/9500 series) HBAs so far as I'm aware. Any tiering would need to be done through software (like your Storage Spaces implementation).

    Are Samsung QVO SSD's good for storage?

    If your backup drive dies, you don't lose data. You still have it in the original location. If you're moving the data to an external drive, that's not backing anything up.

    Supermicro SC825TQ-700LPB Chassis with X9DAI Motherboard+complete build

    They didn't get scammed. They just overpaid due to their ineptitude. I think there's quite the distinction as the former has some component of maleficence. I think as we've established that the OP is dissociated from reality and won't listen to anyone, this comedy thread should be more...

    When are we going to get beyond 5tb in the 2.5inch form factor - what is the hold up?

    There is no demand for high capacity 2.5" hard drives.

    SLC or enterprise SSD

    SLC isn't used outside of niche industrial applications these days. Most people greatly overestimate how much they will write to a disk on any given day, so you probably don't even need an enterprise SSD. Are you going to be writing (not reading) multiple TB every single day for years? If not...

    Help finding compatible ECC RAM for B450M-A

    M393A2K40CB2-CTD and KVR21R15D4/16 are both registered RAM and won't work. You need ECC unbuffered.

    Supermicro SC825TQ-700LPB Chassis with X9DAI Motherboard+complete build

    You really do need professional help. What kind of moron pays $600 when you can buy the identical thing for $4? Oh, wait... I still can't believe you've been a member of this forum for over a decade.

    Ever consider the fact that you're wrong about nearly everything you post? Do you think it's some big conspiracy that this entire forum singles you out and tells you that you're incorrect...or maybe there's some merit to that? Why do you even come here when you ignore and dispute every bit of...

    Double Sata ports in NAS case?

    Second port is for dual-port SAS drives. You can ignore them. No one is going to be using said drives in that kind of chassis anyway, so Silverstone is really just wasting money including them.

    I still want to know why your CPUs are worth $250 when they can be bought on eBay for $4: https://www.ebay.com/itm/362590326304 Please don't disappoint us. We eagerly await your explanation.

    Supermicro SC825TQ-700LPB Chassis with X9DAI Motherboard+complete build

    You should, because that's all they're worth. Why would anyone pay you $250 when they can buy the same thing on eBay for $4? I'm very curious to see what your answer is to that.

    Supermicro SC825TQ-700LPB Chassis with X9DAI Motherboard+complete build

    I think you accidentally added a few extra digits there. They sell for $4 a piece, shipping included, which happens to be about the same price as a 2011 socket cover: https://www.ebay.com/itm/362590326304

    Have you actually ever sold any computer hardware on eBay? Everyone is going to just keep telling you how incredibly unrealistic your price expectations are like we have in every other thread you've posted. Best get used to it. Your hardware is just going to keep depreciating every month, but...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Pretty much any newer Broadcom card will do it. 9460-16i/9560-16i for example, with the latter good for 13.7GB/s sequential and 3M IOPs, not to mention NVMe support. You can get cheaper OEM versions of those as well too (at least I've seen Dell versions of the 9460). The Areca 1884 line is a...

    Yes. You'd be looking at ~1GB/s max if PCIe 3.0. Half that if PCIe 2.0.

    Let's Talk IPV6

    NAT does not work very well and is a pain. It's a bandaid fix to overcome IPv4's lack of address space. It has many limitations that we've already covered over and over. Human readability is also of no concern since that's the point of DNS. Do you navigate your car by GPS coordinates or...

    Let's Talk IPV6

    A lot of home ISPs in the US support it, including AT&T, Comcast, and Cox. It's nothing new. For example both AT&T and Comcast started offering it in 2011. The US has an adoption rate of ~50% and is close to the highest globally.

    NVMe Raid-0 Advice - Thanks in advance

    Take it from someone running enterprise NVMe SSDs in their desktop. I would expect latency to go up by ~50% in RAID0. If cost isn't a concern, get an Optane drive. This is a common thing that comes up by the way: https://hardforum.com/threads/is-an-ssd-raid-0-worth-it.1992413/#post-1044508290

    NVMe Raid-0 Advice - Thanks in advance

    Your sequential performance would go up, but at the expense of latency. You will see no real benefit. I would just get a single 2TB drive.

    Is International Parcel Forwarding safe for a Seller?

    It's not a scam and is fairly common. I've shipped tons of stuff to freight forwarders with no issues. The buyer should have it as a confirmed address in PayPal, so you're set (you shouldn't ship to an unconfirmed address, freight forwarding or not). Your liability ends once the package is...
