Don't you still need monitor orientation support or is that all in the OS?

I finally got the second new StoneForce drive up and running normally. So far this is the fastest SSD I've had, even more so than the X-25E. The 22xx chipset is better than the ones in the older "Forced" drives. I'm not sure how much speed is lost with the ICH10R compared to 6Gbps, but the...

I actually have a couple of those boards. IIRC the JMicron RAID is automatic (or default) and does not require ACHI. The Intel RAID is what requires the ACHI. Unfortunately there was an oddity with that board and it would not allow manual Vcore changes with the newer CPUS, such as Wolfberg...

Why? I would think anyone can post any BS on the LinkedIn. Does anyone at LinkedIn actually check the content for accuracy?

Mostly people just get followed by their coworkers and the company HR depts. ;)

OK, then I won't be concerned for now. Eventually I need to get back the remaining 75% of the space.

They do so wear pants or skirts, etc. :p In the summer I do take off most clothes indoors, but that is not what I meant by casual. :D

You cannot really judge a heatsink by appearance. There a so many similar 120mm tower types that it is mind boggling. I sure would not a CPU without any fan at all. Even a very slow one is much better than nothing.

Regardless of capacity they were all listed at 285/275 R/W IIRC.

Can you create a bogus account for testing?

The new drive is still running, and quite fast, too. There must be a little bugger in HDTune's temperature calculations.

So the CPU heat sink had no fan whatsoever? Yeah, that could do some damage.

It looks like there are several large boneyards of that type. Some other info. http://www.johnweeks.com/boneyard/index.html

I'm sure there are whole new piles of junk planes in the deserts. :)

Damn. The SSD temperature is shown as 128 °C when it is on the ICH and reporting the SMART. I find that temperature rather difficult to believe.

Does it adversely affect the longevity of an SSD to only use a small partition? For example, if the drive is 120GB and has one 20GB partition with the remainder unpartitoned, does the underlying memory cell usage still get evenly distributed over the entire 120GB or does it write over and over...

I think my social network port is blocked.

Sorry; it is an exclamation. I normally avoid them, but forgot myself on this rather casual forum. Maybe I need to be more serious here.

I don't know if I agree about reliability. I've have more bad Samsung 2.5 inchers than anything, but they are OEMs. Seagate 2.5 inchers have given me grief too. Allmost all of my WDs are retail and I never have any problems. I'm not sure what OS is used by the Sony, but you may want to avoid...

I don't know what occurred there. :o I posted the reply to this thread in the Plus Sized thread and the Pentax comment was from an entirely different forum. The multi-clipboard tool is not working out very well.

Gaming should not destroy RAM unless the system is improperly configured.

Assuming those specs are correct, which are often not.

I want reliability and durability. Of course there is no way to know for sure how well any of those will hold up. I cannot find the prices on the Intel 720 and am concerned that it may be expensive.

I have not noticed the supposed slowdown in XP with the advancing format drives, but I format at 32kb and don't boot off of them. I'm not sure why you are making that into such a big deal. It is the backside of 2011 now, and AF is the standard to squeeze in extra bits and reduce reliability.

My X25-E just keeps on going. Only 22TB written to the 32GB drive IIRC.

So why did I waste all that time with the controller cards? !Arrgh! My computer is outdated.

I think we have a Pentax ME Super somewhere.

I'm using only the one SSD, no RAID levels. Are some controllers much better than others for SSDs?

Anyone have that happen? I'm using the LSI controller (RAID 1, 0, 0/1) and the actions are slower on that than on the ICH10R oldy. The bust rate is higher on the LSI, but of what use is that if the drive is really slower? It is a SSD oddity. :bomb:

Moumoune? That is new one word to me, but I get the point. :)

No concept of scanning B&W prints. :(

You have a 55 °F room temp in the summer? That must be costly. :eek:

Some more so than others. The Sandstorm drives are pretty much the same at low capacities vs. high capacities.

Certainly not at prices Greg would accept.

If it is not on the market either it is not practical (too expensive, unreliable, etc.) or nobody really needs it compared to other products that satisfy the same market. That happens all the time with "great ideas."

So you don't have to qualify the hardware with the current system? Are there no change controls required for the system, for example do you repeat IQ/OQ?

Sure, but I thought there are building codes that spec A/C performance. Are you in a really old construction? I have a very old A/C but on the hottest days it is not more than 76°F at the thermostat. Normally I keep it at 73, though the west-facing workroom gets warmer in the afternoons and...

What happened to the intel 720? I'm waiting for that one. No OCZ, never again.

That's not bad if it is not a storage area. Perhaps you could put a temperature controlled ventilator in there if needed.

Slow is one thing, butting hanging for 10 minutes is another...

My God man, that's inhuman! You could have a heat stroke. :rambo: Why don't they fix your A/C?

Perhaps they are not efficient or reliable enough in real-world use. I'd want to see some durability tests at high temp, high humidity, med-high concentration of non-viable airborne particulates, vibrations etc. :queen:

It was not set to use the ACHI. I updated to the last version of 2010, which was dated February 2011. I think they screw you on updates to force full upgrades to the next year's version. That would not be so bad, but about 3 of 4 times TI 2011 locks up the computer in Windows for some minutes...

It is being used the natural way. Of course making an image of C: in Windows is no problem, but restoring is not possible because the boot drive and drive with the TIB are not seen when TI 2010 loads. I assume that the Linux does not have the correct or functioning drivers.

Arrgh. There are issues with this drive in some PSDs. I guess some device manufacturers did not plan ahead for 1TB drives. :frusty: Fortunately they work just fine in the laptop. :)

Yes, that is what I mean. It takes only a few seconds.

True Image 2011 is causing much grief, but TI 2010 does not see the Z68 ports. :( Are any of the simple, cheap non-RAIDed 2- or 4-port PCIe cards usable for hot swap and work with True Image 2010?

Actaully there are some quicker wipes that do just that. I'm sure there are some links a few or many pages back...

Yeah, the other way would be rather odd, maybe for an enclosure?
