Newegg is not really an OEM. Samsung probably has allocations to fill and Newegg is a lower priority.

That is not saying it is nice. Traffic does not bother me as much as people.

Are you kidding? That is like deja vu from the future. :sad:

No more ambulances, ever.

Physical damage. It's ugly to look at, so I don't put the glasses on. ;)

My foot is bleeding. It sucks.

Are you are using them personally in heavy use or elsewhere?

Look at the reviews. There are plenty of bad ones and numerous similar defects. The manufacturer seems to have poor customer service and a useless rebate policy.

It could have used more lateral movement and is somewhat overly long.

I assume it is this one. How are dual memory channels supporting 16GB spread out over 6 slots? The 6-slot X58 systems support 24GB.

LGA 1156 seems like a step backwards since the boards only have 4 memory slots. :(

I had a WD3000 something up until last year and then put it in a system I built for someone else. The VR was a good drive in 2008, but is too slow for a boot drive nowadays and is too small for data storage.

I'm not a city person and aggressive people are a turn off.

If Greg will be keeping the board for years, then wouldn't LGA 1366 be the way to go for future upgrades?

Luck you. I've never been to the B&H store, but NYC in general is too scary for me.

But won't the new top-end consumer Intel CPUs use the LGA 1366 socket?

Greg, Do you know that Alt+Print Screen copies only the active window? ;)

HD Tach can have an issue with RAID, not SSDs in general.

Well it is an expander. If you want top performance there are better controller options.

Of what use is the new benchmark? What is missing that prevents using the benchmark?

It is illegibly small.

Only about 38 times this year. ;)

Maybe it was only the rear end. ;)

Maybe if one crashed a car into their house and damaged both?

Almost believable.

Is the connector an output or an input?

I thought about getting the smaller version of that OCZ unit, but it makes more sense to have a controller than can be used in the future with better SSDs. Unfortunately the OCZ is not a viable option anyway because there is only one free PCIe 8x slot and the computer must support 16 hard...

I should just buy the damned thing. I'm procrastinating for no good reason other than cost. How is NewEgg for returns if I simply don't like it?

How is that LSI card working out for you? Is it possible to create separate arrays on the same controller without interference in performance? For example, I'd like to have two SSDs in RAID 0 and use the other ports for single drives.

I've moved everything around so much, I don't know what was what. Now I have 3 of the Hibachi 2TB drives in there. Two are used as a pair, which I usually avoid.

:oops: I meant OnStar. What is the FIL?

Perhaps Uda is the one partaking in those Olympics. ;)

One would assume something less ancient. ;)

I tried every test in the utility, including zero fill, and the WD is fine.

Very curious. A sockpuppet?

I have a USB-powered fan aimed at them. :)

Sure, if I had a server room. :) There is only one removable, trayless bay in each computer. There is also a 2-drive "toaster" connected to one for temporary/backup use, and a 1-drive version for the other computer. The other drives are internal. I really should upgrade my 8-year old case...

:lol: I must return to work on Tuesday. 51% finished now.

Fine, except that the Hitachi drives are deep in the bowels of the other computer. ;) Now the WD drive is under test in Windows on that system, so I have to wait for it to finish. Only 02:05:48 to go...

:erm: USB KB and mouse were disabled in the BIOS. I was using PS/2 until getting that new setup a few weeks ago.

The Hitachi bootable DFT disk is not supporting a USB keyboard and mouse. WTF?

I hope not. The bootable kind usually don't like non-ICH ports.

I don't think that the Intel is involved. One drive is on an Adaptec and the other on some other controller. I moved them around as well as the cables and it locked up again. Now I have removed 3 drives and switched them around. I'm planning to reformat each drive and then run a test in...

For sure. Especially after he adds a bunch of old SCSI HDs.

WTF is Intel Vertex?

A 6Gbps RAID controller like this one would be good for current and future faster SSDs.

I was thinking maybe it is Merc, but 1961 is probably the born on date.

It is very strange. One of two (not sure which) WD20EADS drives is producing the error, but the problem does not occur when a 7K2000 is disconnected.

Yuck.

The Y axis should be $ or there should be two Y axes.
