Samsung QVO -- correction: it's not slow by
Flasherly[_2_]
Other than a quick couple file copies, not sure what happened after I
formatted it. I put together a 250G copy operation and moved it onto
the QVO and into the computer it's intended, and it was 15% faster
than the above format and a few fast-check writes, from a mechanical
(or at the time then a...

Samsung QVC by
Flasherly[_2_]
Formatted it for a single logical partition, and transferred a couple
of files. Not initially impressive, and considerably slower than
expected for comparable SATA, though smaller, 256G SSD drives that do
well enough for a third faster. Including another but better Samsung
EVO non-Pro series,...

asrock = useless pricks by

I have a Z97M Anniversary mainboard. Doesn't boot, emits 6 beeps.
I have done all the usual crap, swapping RAM, graphics card, CMOS battery,
power supply ad nauseum....
The user manual doesn't have page for beep codes.
I tried searching the asrock website, just get 500 internal server...

HP 700 SSD Newer models didn't apparently learn by
Flasherly[_2_]
Noticed another guy getting the same temperatures I saw. And I do see
the resulting 40-50 MBps he mentions, but its nice to be informed that
is a "throttling issue" at 130F. I also just checked to verify his
faster speeds now that mine's cool: Also true: I now get double the
above rates. I...

HP/Crucial/Samsung (SSD sidenotes) by
Flasherly[_2_]
Hadn't largely utilized a HP SSD, as it were, a back-up of a back-up
until yesterday;- Where it sat, on top of a DVD unit adjacent the
top-mounted power supply in an Antec all-aluminum Lanboy;- a lack of
SATA PWR-splitters, as much a convenience where there isn't airflow
other than a upright case's...

Non-Breakable Logitech Marble TrackBall by

Been through a few of them. Made to crap after a couple years, not
much more;- $20/US on sale but usually closer to $30 when time to
replace.
Ambidextrous, four buttons, and better than nice software for aspects
of ambidexterity Logitech published at one point if and before "going

Nicely mannered now by
Flasherly[_2_]
Put a smaller HP SSD in until the Samsung 1T arrives.
Sure looks nice.
The case disk LED now might burp if even noticed, instead of hanging
around a controller recovery errors.
My up-&-coming 1T SSD may be pretty expensive, equivalent to a 3T or
4T HDD in mechanical, but why not a little more...

Told You So II by
Flasherly[_2_]
Yep - the failing 1.5T Samsung, I put in a Samsung 1T. The 1Tbyte
didn't last 48hours, before major latency issues.
Yanked in a blink and diagnosed.
Same deal as the 1.5T: Wouldn't run until I put it under a 115V 4"
fan, totally cooling it. Also kind of crunchy and grindy while hot in
the...

Inside of Cages with the Safety Bars Revmoved by
Flasherly[_2_]
Flipped a case to its side, MB plane down and lower, of course,
whereupon the hard-drive rack is uppermost in most or many case
designs.
The idea then is to render basic storage moveability or HDD
maintenance: No sliding out of HDDs affixed with screws or accounting
lateral-plane MB component...

Know bulk NAS by
Flasherly[_2_]
A USB3 hub, if they're up to it. Couple the hub to USB3-to-SSD/SATA,
low-power adaptors for six 1T SSDs, stuff it all in a cardboard
shoebox and instant NAS. Copyright the idea and send it to Popular
Mechanics.
My first SSD, an EVO 830 64G, boots perfectly from a *NIX multi-boot

Samsung 1T Black, puked at 7200 for not long, but that makes it really

Temperature issues, as I suspected. Been through this with a newer WD

repeatedly powering up from a docking station. How that...

ATX24 socket on mobo - PS is only ATX20! by
[email protected]
I had a look at an old HP Pavillion PC and the power supply has only 20 wires
going into the mainboard. Jezus, that is cheapskatery I did not expect
from a major corporation. It is apparently a "home" PC with i3 and low-end
graphics card. Presuming they use the same mainboard for a more...

Hi,
Does anyone have comments about the quality/reliability difference
between WD Black and WD Blue? Their ads say the Blue line is for
everyday perforamnce and the Black line is for power computing.
Usually, whne I buy an HD, I choose "power computing" on the assumption
that those should be more...

is re-badging of PCI-E cards common? by
[email protected]
I was looking for 2.5GBASE-T ethernet cards, and there seem to be several
more available than a year ago.
But I noticed (on Chinese market sites) there are 3 with brand names I never
heard of, and the pictures of the cards look the same. So are there firms
that get a factory to make a generic...

I think it's a bad on/off switch, how can I tell? by
Charlie Hoffpauir
My computer won't restart after a local power failure last night. Our
neignborhood lost power for 7 hours, but the computer was on a UPS
when we lost power. I shut it down with the power switch , but after
power was restored, it wouldn't start. I thought perhaps the PS was
fried in spite of the UPS...
