Thanks! Corrupting data that is already on the drive is what worries me - not losing data in flight. If I buy a top brand name SSD like Samsung EVO, would that be just as well protected as the Crucial MX or an enterprise SSD?
Hey, during my last SDD purchases I've always wondered if I need power loss protection caps.
I know that there are two ways to protect an SSD in case of a power loss. It can be done with caps or software (journaling). I keep reading the two following explanations but don't know which one is...
Thanks, I'm don't know if I trust QLC yet. I can get the Micron 5200 ECO for about the same as the Samsung EVO. It got power loss protection and is marketed for enterprise. Would it be a safer choice?
Hello, I'm getting smart errors and warnings from my HDDs and I want to replace them with an SSD. I kinda need 4tb so my options are limited.
Right now I consider the Samsung EVO 860, but I don't know if the PRO version would be more reliable. The price of the PRO is 50% more than the EVO...
Hello, I bought the MG279q monitor and a Sapphire Fury tri-x.
When I bought the monitor I new that Freesync was only supported in the 23-90 FPS range. I thought that this was not a problem since I didn't need more than 90 fps.
Now I have found out that the MG279q has kinda high input lag when...
Right now i'm crossing my fingers that the reseating worked.
The problem is...
I can't RMA the card since the problem happens so infrequently that it is unlikely that they will be able to reproduce it.
I can return it, but that would be a shitty move since they will then sell it to...
I finally built my new computer. It worked beautifully until suddenly the monitor was filled with horizontal colored lines. It reminded me of one time I fried my GPU. I could still see the desktop behind the lines and, to my surprice, everything seemed to be working fine. I restarted the...
I finally built my new computer. Unfortunately my PCI x4 slot was located at the very bottom of the mobo very close to the a wall in my case. There's like 5mm from the heatsink to the case. Should I be worried? I just ran CrystalDiskMark and the cooler didn't get warm at all which I guess should...
Yo!
I'm considering two monitors for my new build (6700K, Fury tri-x).
1) Asus MG279Q
2) Acer XR431CK
The Asus is better looking and has 144Hz but the Acer is ultra wide.
I think for gaming think I would prefer the Acer because of the more immersive experience.
For productivity I...
The reason I will pay over price for extra reliable components is not that I don't do backups. It's because I don't want to risk computer trouble during busy periods. I get completely stressed out when there is something wrong with my computer.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Regardig 6700 vs 6700k. Wouldn't the time to open Word be proportional to the clock speed? The 6700k has 18% higher base frequency so I would guess that Word would open 18% faster (I'm guessing it's cpu bottlenecked when installed on an Intel 750)?
4k would make...
I will buy from Denmark. I just used pcpartpicker to create a list.
I already have a 2600K with ssd so it doesn't make sense to buy a i3/i5. I want something faster. I don't like to wait. Even if it is only a second.
The thing is, there are some components in my current build I need to...
Thanks
The cheaper boards seems to have lesser quality components. The Gigabyte board I picked has Intel everything and not that expensive. I looked into the non k 6700. It's only a bit cheaper and running 0.6Ghz slower. The price per Ghz is almost the same.
Oh the monitor was a mistake. I meant the MG279Q.
Ichigo, why should I go with the 5820k if it is more expensive (motherboard) and slower for most of my tasks? Is there something wrong with Toms Hardware review? I can't find any other reviews why they test the 5820k against a 6700k in everyday...
1. Mostly light tasks MS-Office/programming/web/email (90%). But it should also excel at Photoshop/Lightroom/Audio editing (9%) and gaming (1%). My primary goal is to build very responsive, reliable and quiet pc.
2. $4000. Cheaper is better but it is not important.
3. Denmark
4. Not...
I don't have any numbers so you might be right. I think that those who buy android buy them because they are cheaper. I only know one person besides me who like android over iPhone. And he is a geek like me. I think a lot of mom's and old people buy android because they don't know the...
No, it may have the specs but it is ugly. Personally I think Google should go for simple industrial design like Nexus 5. And 4.7 inch size. I know this is like last year phones but this is what Google needs now. Refinement and polish.
I agree with OP.
Also, I don't think it would hurt the OEMs if Google made a phone.
Here in Denmark nobody owns Androids because most people can afford iPhones. If there was a polished well made Android I think it could open the marked for the OEMs.
Imagine if Apple open sourced iOS. Do you...
Thanks CiPHER
I'm still puzzled why this isn't mentioned in reviews. In all the reviews I've read, if the SSD doesn't have capacitors, it is always considered to be without power losss protection. If I understand you correctly then any Samsung SSD will be as good as a SSD with capacitors as...
I'm confused about power loss protection for SSDs.
I understand that real power loss protection are capacitors on the SSD.
Then I've read on this forum that Samsung use some kind of firmware level power loss protection that works well when the SSD is used in a normal desktop computer (not...
Here in Denmark 2 x MX200 is $800 and the 850 pro is $1000.
Yes I plan to run programs from the OS drive as well. And maybe a virtualbox with ubuntu. I don't know if I should put that on the OS drive or the data drive?
I guess then question is how reliable the MX200 is compared to the 850 pro...
Is it correct that if a drive fails in a raid (with redundancy) then I will need to replace the drive before I can access my data (no matter what kind of raid)? If so, no raid will not protect against downtime unless I buy a spare SSD.
Anyone knows how the mx200 compares to the 850 pro in terms...
Hello, I sit several hours in front of my computer everyday doing a bit of everything (Photoshop/Lightroom, programming, ms-office, gaming etc.)
I'm planning on going all SSD for my next build. I need a 400-500gb OS ssd and 2tb for data.
I'm considering
Samsung 950 512gb or Intel 750...
I love everything about it except the phone. I don't like the shape and I prefer amoled phones.
I would pay the premium if it was more rounded and had amoled.
Hello
I'm using my 2013 Moto X as night clock. My wife has a Moto G (first gen) which is useless as a night clock (too bright).
I'm wondering what ppl with IPS screens do? Buy a night clock/alarm clock?
Okay I get that they are produced the same way... But doesn't the fact that the higher speed ram has been tested at higher speed make them a safer buy? If the ram is only able to run at low speed it would be more likely to cause trouble right?
It seems like there is only small performance gains when buying faster ram.
But what about quality? I would guess that faster ram would be of higher quality than the slower ram and thus it would make sense to buy the faster ram if the price difference is small. Not for performance reasons but...
From the link I posted:
"The problem with any of the in-box PCI Express to PCI adapters is they cannot provide the -12V that the LynxTWO requires since that is not available with PCI Express."
It seems like an adaptor won't work. But this raises another question. Will any z170 board work...
