Didn't you have a tower that used to use rising air to cool components in Salinas, combined with water cooling? Seems to me you did just fine with having silent cooling, or getting the components in a place where the sound wasn't a bother... You might post pics. That was a NEAT setup...

Just because the ide standard says master and slave, it doesn't mean the chipset supports it. My 2000 Dell had a chipset that only supported one drive per ide channel, and no one at Dell knew it, at least it took them 8 months to admit it. So don't assume that the drive that doesn't work is...

Awesome you got it to work.

I did some research, and I think you can, but the gymnastics involved where really beyond my expertise to do so. I was looking at it for my old board, and guys got it to work, but it was a really involved process, so much so that I decided I would rather go with a SSD for SATA III, and just copy...

See if it works with old hardware first?

It was a mistake. I was trying to remember where I put the cat image. I attached files that were wrong. Before I posted, I thought I had removed them from the post. Since they are a waste of bandwidth, I've already reported them and requested they be removed.

Multiscan e400 isn't a monitor? What's that other, 19" thing next to it? It was intended for Tannin as I too have fond memories of a tri-monitor system, with a 21" in the middle, and two 19"s on the side, and all 1080. Also relevant in that it made my cat quite happy. She loved being the center...

For Tannin: Moving the 70 pound, 21" was not something I want to do now.

I tried a 4k 43" for a couple months. Worked much like having two normal monitors. When I played movies in 4k, they are clearer, and more detail. After a couple months, I decided it wasn't a great value, since the cost of 4k TV's is dropping like they are in the stock market. Also most of my...

Got it. Thanks.

Rapid Mode, a setting in the Samsung SSD Magician software, Yields absurd, impossible data transfer speeds, and random access numbers. Wonder what it actually does? Anyone else played with it?

Sound has separation that's incredible. Gives you the feeling that the sound is 3 dimensional, and if they are singing, and are in different parts of the room, it comes through. Highs are incredible, and I don't hear well up there. Mid-range comes through with punch, and from 3D type feeling...

"" In our opinion, those would probably be the Sennheiser HD1 Wireless (full review here), which sound absolutely fantastic for their $400 price tag. " At delivered for 200. they are truly fantastic. A huge step in depth of sound, highs, lows and midrange, all deeper more detailed, precision...

"It also helped that the rest of the sound quality, outside of the bass, was equally solid. These aren't quite the richest and most expansive headphones in this price range, in terms of audio quality. In our opinion, those would probably be the Sennheiser HD1 Wireless (full review here), which...

I thought the Sennheiser Urbanlites for 80 bucks had better sound quality then the Bose 35's, at 330. That said, they are not wireless, nor are the earpads well constructed, or easy to replace. Handruin: The Sony reviews say they are close if not the same as the Bose 35s, sound wise. The other...

HMMMM. Tried these: https://www.costco.com/Sony-WH-H900N-Bluetooth-Noise-Canceling-Headphones%2c-Black.product.100403345.html The Bose and the Sony are both really close, and really overpriced. The Sennhieser Urbanlites were about the same sound quality. for 80 bucks. I'm after something...

Nothing like resurrection;-) So far, I've gone through Bose 35's, 330.00, over priced, sketchy software, weird proprietary plug in design so when the wire goes, you have to get one from Bose. Poor range. Constant disconnects from the phone and the computer. Appears to have a conflict with my...

Got done working with the old drive, or at least one of them. Decided to go back to ACHI mode. Computer blue screens, and won't boot. Switched to Raid, and have the following numbers: 279. 210 207. 40. So random are now 5 times faster. See if it's noticeable.

Hmmm. This seems to have a LOT to do with the controller used. I have an old drive I'm trying to get data off. Wouldn't work with bios set to Raid. Changed to ide. It works. The 860 evo CDM tests are: 238. 44.68 44.16 39.60 The computer seems a little bit less snappy. the 4k random...

Hi Handruin: Thank you for the recommendation. I just looked at the CDM on the Samsung 960 and 970 MVME drives. While the sequential tests are around 3500 mb/sec, the 4k randoms are only 3 times faster then the Sata drives, 600 mb/sec. The seq test goes up 7 times, 4k random 3x. What do you...

Odd you brought that up. I was looking through my old pictures, and found my first Crystal Diskmark test of the X-25M raid, and I have the current Evo 860 test: X-25's 493. 330. 21. 268. 860 285. 214. 214. 40. I ran a 7200 Sata and the numbers: 111. 3.6 3.6 1.4 so 4k random...

Crystal Disk Mark Evo 860 285 mb/sec. vs. 440 for Intel Raid 0. However, the access time for everything seems instant with the 860. Pictures viewers' lag is gone. Samsung Disk Migration works perfectly. Samsung Magician appears to work as well.

Decided on 860 500 GB Sata 6. III.

Motherboard has Sata 2. Raid 0 gives 450 mb/sec, X-25's IIRC, that's about the limit of Sata 2. Sata 3 or 6, whichever, is around 600MB/sec. When I looked at the options, I also came to think either a Mirror 1 Raid, or a single newer drive might be a better idea. I use little more then half...

May look into this: 2. Install a PCIe x1 SATA 3 card and install Samsung 850 Pro and have it bottleneck over PCIe 2.0 x1, but be ensured AHCI

If you read a little further: " I found this, did not try it myself. Not the Sabertooth but a similar ASUS board with a P6X58D Premium. But I made the Samsung 950 Pro work with it easy with an Asus M.2 PCI-E card and now also working with a riser cable due to space constraints. Speeds are of...

Hi Has anyone tried one of these? Intel Optane SSD 900P Series - solid state drive - 480 GB - PCI Express 3.0 Would it be bootable on my old motherboard?? See sig. Any other bootable PCIE options that are cheaper, but would take advantage of an ope PCIE 16X slot?

It's pretty hard not to want to have 4k content once you see it. Even upscaled Bluray, by the 4k TV's is pretty spectacular.

OK: Im impressed. Looks like the Evo started as pretty much a 4 door, street legal race car. Specs are similar to my old 64.5 mustang funny car. 2800 pounds, 350 HP, 5 to 6 speed, and fantastic suspension. I wish they would have had the prices. Must have started around 40-60 grand. Wish I had...

Just bought an EVO, despite the name. Reminds me of an economy car

Rarely you get a Dell tech that will tell you facts about the hardware that aren't easy to find. I had found on the net that Dell had, on some laptops, used a super thin, unusual, SSD. Also I wanted to find out if it was under warranty, and if so, would I be voiding the warranty. Not my computer.

Dell upgrade went better then expected. Inspirion 1500 5000. 5400 drive, 90mb/s. Put in a Samsung EVO 960. 550mb/sec, Crystal Disk Mark. 57.00 Made the Dell current, despite Dell telling us not to upgrade it on the phone. For once, they did not use a substandard chip on the bus, so we are...

Concerned about the same issues.

Lifetime or yearly?

Hi H Which version of Any DVD do you use for ripping UHD? When they changed hands, I stopped the constant upgrades with them, since I really wasn't using them much, and the version I have, 7692, is from 2016.

PowerDVD 18 is pretty amazing. It seems to sense the settings on a questionable Samsung 4k TV, and put a picture up that works on it, better then VLC, or Classic Media Player. It also auto mounts Bluray disk images, without having to use Clone DVD, and plays them??? Pretty amazing product, and...

HMMMM. Only external player Costco offers is 250.00 My video card was purchased in 2008. Amazing it was even running 11 years later. Needed replacing. PDVD18 has a free 30 day trial. The Samsung 4k was 225.00. Appears to be defective. Goes back tomorrow. A ton of settings that should work...

HMMM. To Answer a few questions: I was considering a computer setup, since the external UHD Players are in the 250.00 range. Pretty much only burner is 120. Trying out PDVD 18, vs. 12. It loads, and reads my disk images from the absurd number of Bluray disks we bought, and the output is HD. I...

It came with 8.1. Upgrading to an evo 960.

Anyway to get a free copy of Windows 10 to copy onto a Dell laptop? Seems they imbed the activation code on the motherboard?

Life happens....

My mistake. I checked the passmark stats, and in the same price range, the current chips are fast enough to consider replacement, meaning well over 3x the current chip I have, for the same price range. That said, for what I do, I see no reason to upgrade, until something breaks, or I decide to...
