Atto is basically worthless because the data size it uses is too small relative to the cache size of the drives and the cache on the PERC card.

Yikes... That's a monster!

You should increase the background init rate to 100%. The Init should only take about 6 hours.

I have a 80mm or 92mm fan blowing directly across the PERC card in each machine I have one in. You don't need a fan mounted directly to the HSF, but they definitely need direct airflow.

Time to find a new job? :poke:

I have the Cooler Master also on my i7-2600K. It seems to do a good job. I don't have any experience with the Xigmatek, so I can't compare.

Give it some time... That's normal. It should charge back up and re-enable WB.

I'm pretty sure if you watch it you'll see it does a background initialization which will definitely affect your benchmark numbers.

I've been to their keyboard factory in Kentucky before. Interesting to see someone still building keyboards in the US.

I have one. It's works well enough. If I could change 1 thing it would be adding a backlight to the keyboard. If I could change a 2nd thing, I'd up the resolution on the trackball / sampling rate so the cursor could be moved faster across the screen. If you spin the ball too quickly it seems...

USB 3.0 and eSATA exist making things quite a bit more palatable.

I would prefer a TV that made popcorn since I'm not a huge fan of nuts. Are you eating the nuts, or feeding them to the squirrels?

So you got some exercise. Worse things could have happened... :bomb:

So, you take offense that I "put words in your mouth" and then go on to suggest exactly what you got mad about me putting in your mouth. :rotfl: Drives sitting on your shelf don't have the same level of protection as an online backup in the off site sense. Drives sitting on your shelf are just...

Well played... :bglaugh:

Most people are lazy. I know I am. People will pay money to be lazy. Look at Pay Per View, pizza delivery, etc... Greg's idea that the average person is going to get 2 2.5" USB HD's and manually back up their data, take them offsite, and rotate them weekly (or whatever) is laughable even if...

There are some that have 12V trigger capability.

Got me. I was trying to explain to Greg why people pay for services like Mozy.

Simplicity & appealing to people's laziness are salable features.

I use usenet on occasion, I don't get my TV programming from it though.

Make HDMI and DVI TMDS.

Well, my plan was successful. I was unable to bend the piece in the vice because it couldn't slide as it bent, so I used channel lock pliers to bend it most of the way down then hammered it flat. I now have 2 12.5mm thick drives in my ISK300 case.

That depends on whether the TV or the source has a better scalar.

I agree. I only have one because it's also my ATM card.

AFAIK, they will accept any debit card that uses a PIN. I used a debit card prior to getting my AmEx.

Well, I certainly wouldn't use the OCZ. I'm not sure I'd use the LSI either though. :bleh:

I think those are the wrong ones, but I'm not 100% sure.

Are you sure about that? My i7-2600K @ 4.2gHz with 16GB of 1600MHz of DDR3, one SSD, one 5400RPM HD, GF 7900GS, & 2 optical drives consumes all of ~160W from the wall with the CPU running 100% across all 8 threads with an Antec TruePower New TP-550 powering it.

Eh... That would been the first place I would have looked if I was in his shoes. Of course I wouldn't have put that rig together with that PS in the first place though. :cyclops:

I think it would be more accurate to say AmEx is the only credit card they accept. They do take checks, cash, and debit cards.

And how does that benefit you? I'm paying the same price regardless of how I pay the store, so I'm going to use the payment method that has the biggest advantage for me.

I've found that the vast majority of places I deal with take AmEx. It's very rare to find someplace that doesn't. Even when I've traveled internationally (Asia and Europe) it's been accepted pretty much everywhere. The Costco AmEx has: 1% back on all purchases 2% back on travel 3% back on...

Seems rather disappointing to me given the cost.

Do you need such a mini subwoofer?

Costco AmEx here...

Right because there are no decent power supplies between 380W and 1200W that would power your rig. :rofl:

Sounds like he's beyond cutting it close. :owneddnce:

Well the printer arrived on Tuesday and I got it out of the box today and set up and printing. I do need to get a ream of laser printer paper though. I have it connected to my network via CAT5e, and it works.

That's almost 3x faster by changing the push to a pull.

I've never found any use for Jumbo frames.

What NIC are you using? What are the results if you have the server pull from the client?

Are you pulling or pushing the data? I've found that can make a significant difference in copy speed. IE: Machine A pulling data from Machine B can be considerably faster than Machine B pushing data to Machine A. How big of a buffer did you configure FastCopy to use? In your test above it...

Wait, so it still runs dual channel even though the two channels are running at different speeds? I didn't think that was possible.

Well, I was successful. I got the case for $147.95 + 6% sales tax. Not too shabby for a case Newegg sells for $299 + ~$25 in shipping.

Probably that the snow is blue and the obvious vignetting in the corners...

My SB system works. It just might not work some time from now. :salut:

I haven't loaded a 64bit OS on my machine yet, so the 16GB in my Sandy Bridge build is just sitting idle. I have a 64-bit OS on my server with 16GB of RAM though.

Maybe... It depends on the block size being used by the Windows file copy mechanism. Obviously small files are written using small blocks, but I have no idea about large files. Have you tried FastCopy? No problem.

FWIW, the Mushkin kit I've been tracking went up $1 to 159.99. I guess the 4x4GB G.Skill kit I bought from Newegg during their 15% off promotion is probably as cheap as DDR2 4GB DIMMs willl get.

Nah, he needs to build them up some more and put them inside a garden hose with the ends cut off first.
