  1. How to: SSD - Need help

    You come on a tech forum and link to another forum and don't expect to catch flak for it? You link to a thread that has a bunch of information that has been (repeatedly) debunked on this forum as completely unnecessary, and you don't expect to catch some flak for it? Really?

  2. dillema - Samsung C830 128GB or Crucial M4 128GB

    I try to buy nothing but Crucial RAM for just this reason. I buy G.Skill sometimes though. All of their NAND is made at the IMFT plant in Lehi, Utah. I have not heard that they've ramped up NAND production at any other facility.

  3. Web server SSD RAID 1 setup vs mechanical RAID 10 setu

    If this is truly a web server, then SSDs are going to be completely wasted on it other than for power concerns. A web server will load things into memory and serve page requests from there. Have you actually profiled your web server to see that IO is a bottleneck? Is this "web" server doing...

  4. Mediasonic Enclosures Buy or Stick with building?

    I went through build-it-myself route, with an AMD-350, a tower case full of 5.25" bays, 5.25 to 3.5 drive bays and a SATA card. I can put 12 drives in this thing with plenty of ventilation, and they're all hot-swappable. Also, I'm eagerly looking forward to Windows Server 8 with Storage Spaces...

  5. How to: SSD - Need help

    I hate this over-optimization crap, it pops up like weeds. We have our own stickies here that cover the 4 essentials steps that "guides" like this turn into 37 and have you doing all kinds of stuff you don't need to do. (I made those numbers up.)

  6. Seagate Momentus XT Firmware Update??

    You'll have to wait and see in what form they release it. It'll either be a bootable ISO or some kind of utility program you run from within Windows or something.

  7. How to: SSD - Need help

    Don't do SRT. And don't over-provision the drive. Just partition the whole drive during Windows setup (it will do it automatically for you) and let it do its thing. And SRT caches writes, BTW. But with a 120GB drive you don't need to use SRT. You will have plenty of space for most of your...

  8. Still trying decide between Intel SSD Cache vs boot SSD / HD combo

    If all you can afford is a ~60GB SSD then SRT is a good choice. If you can afford a ~120GB SSD then SRT should be off the table unless the user is not capable of managing two drives (e.g. my mom). But then you should back down to a ~60GB SSD and do SRT because you can't use anything larger...

  9. Seagate Momentus XT Firmware Update??

    I don't think that firmware has been released yet.

  10. Defragging SSD

    It's been mentioned in this thread, but didn't really jump out or get expounded upon. SSD controllers internally RAID the NAND chips. Since the NAND is read in blocks, the absolute best performance in retrieving a file would be single, parallel requests to every NAND channel. Is there any...

  11. Other programming forums you guys use?

    Yep. I posted there a lot in the early days, but it quickly became annoying and I pretty much avoid posting there anymore. And I don't use any of the stack exchange sites at all.

  12. Considering getting SSD(s)

    Buy the best, biggest, single SSD you can afford and you won't regret it one single bit.

  13. Other programming forums you guys use?

    This. It's pretty much just Google for me nowadays. If I can't find the answer Googling then chances are I'll just have to figure it out myself.

  14. Win 7 superfecth/prefetch in hybrid system (SSD + HDD)

    The Windows 7 blog has a post about what they did to support SSDs in Windows 7, and in there they mention that Windows itself may disable SuperFetch on an SSD if it's fast enough. I am of the mind that this is just one of the many completely unneeded SSD "optimizations". Just leave it alone and...

  15. Looking for good task list software for work

    Microsoft OneNote? Syncs with SkyDrive so you can have it on all your computers as well as your phone.

  16. OCZ vertex 4 uses marvell controller

    I've been a bit of an OCZ apologist in the past, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that this company just plain sucks at PR. I have personally been avoiding SF drives in general for a while now, and OCZ in particular. But I had hopes that the Indilinx acquisition would help them...

  17. Anything (Outside Steam) I should avoid putting on my SSD

    Use the tag to prevent stuff like [plain]D: from being turned into a smiley. D:

  18. Which Memory? (Make, Model, Heatsink, etc.)

    Heatsinks on RAM are unnecessary for the most part. Buy JEDEC-spec 1.5v or 1.35v and you won't even need a heatsink. I buy Crucial almost exclusively because they're a US-based company and they make their own memory. When I can't find Crucial RAM cheap enough then I'll buy G.Skill.

  19. New SSD

    Well you can't RAID your new SSD unless you buy another one (or bought two to begin with), right? A 120GB drive is perfect for running a dual-drive system. Here's what I would suggest: Partition the whole space and use it as your boot drive. Install Windows and all (non-game)...

  20. Need memory for Lenovo W520

    I've had it for about 4 months now. It's a good computer that is severely crippled by a spindle hard drive and some of the crap the domain admins push on us via GPO. We're getting a new set of W520s in the next couple weeks that have 16GB of RAM and an SSD, so we'll see how those puppies work...

  21. Have a new SSD - based on the specs, Win. 7 x86 or x64?

    There is zero reason to ever install a 32bit OS anymore. x64 all the way.

  22. Need memory for Lenovo W520

    Does the W520 have more than two RAM slots? I have one at work but have never cracked it open to look. If all you're looking at is a 2x8GB kit, then just make sure to get JEDEC-spec 1.5v or 1.35v PC3-10600 and you'll be fine. http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Lenov...-upgrades.html...

  23. Blu-ray: Is it too much to ask for Hulu+ and Netflix stream w subtitles?

    I was really set on having a bluray player that was also a good streamer (network especially, but Netflix as well). I have thoroughly given up on that quest now. We had an LG bluray player that didn't even get timely updates to be able to play new *blurays* for frak's sake! Let alone updates to...

  24. AnyDVD or DVDCopy?

    I have the new SMP model. I ripped a few blu-rays with MakeMKV and couldn't get subtitles to work when I played them back. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

  25. 60" Suggestions?

    If you're getting a plasma, there is no reason to buy anything other than a Panasonic unless you have some reason to not like them, or you really really like Samsung for some reason. Since Pioneer dropped out of the market they left Panasonic on top. Panasonic also bought some of Pioneer's...

  26. Blu-ray: Is it too much to ask for Hulu+ and Netflix stream w subtitles?

    I just watched a stream from Netflix Saturday night on my WDTV Live SMP and when I hit the subtitles button on the remote, the subtitles started showing on the streamed picture. The movie was Shutter Island, btw.

  27. WD Live (or similar) - Album, Video and Folder Art maintained with Mezzmo

    The remote is fully IR so you can easily manually program your Harmony. I think Logitech has the WD Hub in their database too. The Hub and the SMP are virtually identical (people say the same Harmony code works for both). Consult the master thread on AVS Forum for all the details. I have just...

  28. WD Live (or similar) - Album, Video and Folder Art maintained with Mezzmo

    I am pretty happy with my WDTV Live SMP. I have yet to tackle the media info/art that I think you're mainly asking about, though. But the WDTV plays just about anything you throw at it, no network streamer needed. If we want to watch a disc that I haven't ripped yet, we just use the PS3.

  29. Custom lumber frame for wall-mount in front of fireplace

    Sanded down the rough lumber with my palm sander, then once it was all together just spray painted it with matte black exterior grade.

  30. smartphone battery life

    My wife has a Rezound and she texts to her sisters and friends quite a bit through the day. She says she has to charge it every other day. I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I use it moderately throughout the day, one or two calls, texting three or four people, 10 to 20 minutes of a game or two, and...

  31. Single SSD as sole drive?

    Longevity is not an issue. As long as you're running Windows 7, TRIM is not an issue. If money was no object every one of my computers would have a single large SSD in them.

  32. Monitor Reviews

    ViewSonic has a new 1080p IPS monitor that's sub-$200. Could you add it to your list to review? I've been trying to get U2412Ms approved at work (software development), but they're balking at the price. /sigh We get a corporate discount from ViewSonic so this new cheaper model they've come out...

  33. Shelf spacers/legs

    It seems like they had white, but I don't remember for sure. There were quite a few things I didn't even really look at because I needed a heavy-duty rod. The thin expandable rods wouldn't work for what I wanted, so I found the rod I needed, and then found the matching wall mounts. The rod I...

  34. Shelf spacers/legs

    Thought I'd post a pic of the finished product. I went with the TOFTERYD unit as mentioned above, and just got some closet rod and mounting hardware from Lowe's. Turned out pretty well, I think.

  35. Custom lumber frame for wall-mount in front of fireplace

    I realized I never came back and posted pics of the finished product, so here are some. (For anybody interested, here's the thread for my custom AV rack/shelf that you see in the last picture below.) This is a look at the full finished frame -- 2x4s, 2x2s, and a bunch of hardware: The...

  36. Good free app for designing wood items?

    Got some pics in this thread of what I was using Sketchup for: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2211605

  37. First SSD purchase: Intel 320 vs Crucial M4 vs Corsair Performance Pro?

    You call people out but then say the 520 is a bad choice because he only has SATA2? The 520 is a good choice no matter what you're hooking it up to. You go on to recommend choosing between two SATA 6Gbps drives... :rolleyes: It is far from terrible advice to recommend buying something that will...

  38. SSD vs. HDD for new system O/S drive - are SSDs equal to HDD in reliability?

    Ignore the people saying you don't need an SSD. If you're asking about it, you're going to like having one. Ignorance is bliss. You're not ignorant. (At least one person in this thread is obviously *willfully* ignorant, but his loss...) If you can afford it, get a 256GB Crucial M4. They're...

  39. How much RAM is too much? 32gb? 64gb?

    Are you talking about SuperFetch here? If not, do you have a link?

  40. Momentus XT 750GB review

    I figure it's ok to revive this thread since it already says what I would type in a new post... Does anybody know if the new firmware to enable write caching has been released. I cannot find anything searching Google, nor trying to find firmware release notes on Seagate's site. This drive is...
