Well you were right. In the end it turned out to be the motherboard that was going bad. What exactly went bad on it I may never know. I found a similar used motherboard (needed to rescue my Intel Raid 10) and the CPUs appear perfectly fine, as do both my PSUs.
Oh right, I figured I was missing something when reading all that.
Here's one of the external RAID enclosures I've been looking at (which does RAID 10):

I would be fine with a less expensive internal RAID card, but I'm kind of confused by them, there...
Thanks, I haven't heard of PrimoCache but will definitely look into it.
Your benchmarking is interesting, and a little surprising, but my technical knowledge isn't enough to understand the implications, besides thinking maybe a VM on a fast drive would be a good option after all?
I hadn't even...
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, that's all really great information, very helpful.
I'll see if I can test these PSUs under various loads. I don't have an oscilliscope, but do have both a digital and analog multimeter (I've read analog can be good for looking for sudden changes in...
By the way, my -12v measured at -11.37 VDC. I read it should be between -11.52 and -12.48.
EDIT: It seems there's a lot of conflicting info out there...I've also read a +/-5% tolerance should be okay, with a +/-10% tolerance for -12V. Link here...
Ha, no not trolling...I just got mixed up. I double checked and it's a Pentium G2030 at 3 GHz. I still had it laying around from when I upgraded the computer my kids use, years back. The motherboard is a P8H67-M LE.
So if the CPU does run on 12v there is a chance my PSU killed it, right?
The...
Okay thanks for the info. In my old system the CPU (i7 3770) was definitely the bottleneck when editing video. I suppose with this new system even four 7200 rpm in RAID 10 would likely become a bottleneck. Of course for more complex projects I can always move footage from a RAID to an SSD...
Thanks for the info.
Oh drivers, right. So in that sense an internal card vs. external enclosure would make no difference? They would all need drivers compatible with both Windows and Linux I suppose?
I currently have an internal RAID 10 via Intel RST which I've used for video editing for many...
My computer started cutting off randomly, sometimes with a BSOD, but mostly straight to black. Usually I could get into Windows before it would die, but other times it wouldn't even make it into the BIOS. Running Linux off a USB also ended up dying.
I tested the PSU voltages and the 12v was a...
Hi, I'm trying to determine if there are significant differences between internal RAID cards and external RAID enclosures.
I will be setting up a computer to dual boot Windows and Linux (each on its own SSD). I want to make sure each OS sees the RAID as a single drive. I'm a little confused as...
