  1. Slow disk access after RAID 5 rebuild

    Well regardless, glad it all pulled through. Still though, it was at 18% on 4/26 and at 22% yesterday, but then completed overnight. It definitely sounds like it errored out at some point, but obviously managed to recover itself. Gives me the heebie jeebies.
  2. Need RELIABLE router - should I buy this?

    Well the WiFi on the $48 one there looks better for sure. Not sure about the T-Mobile part, but if the comments are to be believed you can ignore that part. It's probably a better device than the $30 Netgear refurb, but then again, it's $18 more expensive so I'd expect it to be.
  3. Need RELIABLE router - should I buy this?

    So, Arris primarily makes modems to my knowledge. They're a relatively big player in that market, so I'm sure they know how to make a network device. I've never touched one of their routers though, so I can't speak from experience. My recommendation was for the ASUS RT-ACRH13, but it is still...
  4. Need RELIABLE router - should I buy this?

    Oh good god in heaven. I just looked at their rankings. A few comments: 1. They primarily highly rank routers that look like spiders. This isn't just supposed to be a funny comment, a good portion of their rating is given over to WiFi performance, and of course big 4x4 MIMO routers with 4-8...
  5. Need RELIABLE router - should I buy this?

    While I wish this was true, it just isn't. The router he linked - the C50 - is only 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet) on the wired ports. It's slightly bigger brother, the C5, both of which are AC1200 devices (yes, the names are confusing) has full gigabit (1000 Mbit/s) ports. Mb = megabit, MB =...
  6. Slow disk access after RAID 5 rebuild

    It's also possible the array rebuild errored out. If it was me in the same situation, I'd be assembling an army of external drives and frantically copying all my data to them just in case the array didn't survive a reboot. This is also why I moved my personal data arrays to RAID6 instead of 5...
  7. OC advice?

    Sorry, I'll amend; normal usage load temps, rather than thermal stress test load temps. I'm saying I would aim for target 'gaming' load temps in the 50-60c range, while running SuperPi or something to 'fully' load the CPU would likely spike into the upper 60/70 range.
  8. Slow disk access after RAID 5 rebuild

    Absolutely, a drive still online in the array can cause performance problems for the array if it's experiencing issues. Hunting down 'problem' drives like you're describing can often be a very frustrating part of owning a RAID array. If you've got a mechanical drive with as many sectors being...
  9. OC advice?

    Not that you want to actually be anywhere near 90c, plus if you go much over that you'll start to thermally throttle which can cause some unexpected performance hiccups. With a decent AIO or air cooler (not even expensive, just decent like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 or something) you should...
  10. 840 EVO as HDD cache in Win10. Worth the trouble?

    Sounds like a plan. I would definitely go for RAID 1 if you already have an external drive!
  11. 840 EVO as HDD cache in Win10. Worth the trouble?

    WIth your stated purpose of the 2TB drive as just raw storage for pictures, video, and music, then I would say no, it's not worth the trouble. None of those applications really care about the latency or throughput of the storage medium. If you're looking for a "what to do with the 840 EVO that...
  12. Questions about the WS X299 Sage motherboard and PEX8747 PLX chip

    I don't know about your PLX chipsets, but I do have a different angle. It sounds like you're considering dropping a decent boatload of cash on a system if you're planning on running quad GPUs on a high end workstation. You may just consider moving up a hierarchy to the Epyc platform and use...
  13. Wi fi issues with secure ports

    No clue then. Sorry!
  14. Wi fi issues with secure ports

    SSL/TLS may not be enabled at all on 587. Port 587 is just a renumber of port 25 because lots of ISPs block port 25. Do you need the encryption?
  15. Wi fi issues with secure ports

    keep in mind, 587 is non-SSL.
  16. Wi fi issues with secure ports

    I'm not sure it's you. I've just tried connecting to mail.papamail.net on port 465 and my connection is closed immediately. You can, however, use the non-SSL port 587 and it seems to connect fine.
  17. My first SSD failure (Sam 850 PRO 256GB)

    This doesn't bother me. I RMA a lot of mechanical hard drives and I'm pretty used to getting a refurb back. It doesn't bother me as long as the warranty continues as expected, which it does. It's not like I'm sending in brand-new hardware; the stuff I am RMAing is definitely 'used' so I don't...
  18. mobile workstation or gamer workstation for CAD software?

    So my knowledge here is a bit old, but 'back in the day' the GeForce line was a bit hobbled with regards to its acceleration capabilities for professional software like CAD. It lacked things like hardware accelerated wireframe rendering and such. I don't know if the exact same limitations exist...
  19. Huh... neither Sam 860 PRO I have are recognised by my hard drive enclosure

    I mean, I've heard of specific enclosures having compatibility problems before, but that still seems weird. What model enclosure if I may ask?
  20. Network breach? Help

    Er, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on our diagnostic methods. I didn't "start with useless guessing", I asked for evidence as to what the OP saw that raised his suspicion, in this case the output from the arp command. This was done so as to prevent useless guessing. I also didn't start...
  21. Network breach? Help

    Sorry, I was going by his quote: Keep in mind, he typed these and didn't copy-paste. I was assuming 192.168.0.119 was his IP and that there was a simple typo on the first line. Or maybe the typo was the second line, either way. If his IP and the second dynamic address line up then all is well...
  22. Network breach? Help

    OK, a lot of misinformation here, not just from the quote but in general. Firstly, 192.168.0.0/16 (in other words, 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255) are part of the private, non-routable address range. It's an internal-only IP that will never be routed via any public internet. It's not "from...
  23. Network breach? Help

    Those IPs both correspond to your own PC. Do you have any kind of VPN software or privacy type software on your PC? That would be a likely scenario for this.
  24. Network breach? Help

    Er, I'm not sure I follow. arp shows resolved mac address/IP address combinations, essentially a layer 2 lookup. You won't be able to see any mac addresses from outside your local network; in other words, if you have to go through a layer 3 IP gateway to get there, then all mac addresses...
  25. My first SSD failure (Sam 850 PRO 256GB)

    Glad it worked out. I've only got one entry in the 'failed SSD' club, an old OCZ Z-Drive R4 600GB that was originally some ~$2000. It lasted until about 2 years ago, then failed in a very similar manner to your Samsung. Unfortunately for me, the warranty doesn't last forever and neither did OCZ...
  26. How to backup data & OS when swapping HDD with SSD

    Keep an eye on the cheap USB 3 SATA enclosures, a lot of them have internals that won't actually run at SATA 3. So they'll be USB 3 with SATA 2, which mind you is still pretty quick, but limiting for a SSD.
  27. Wake on LAN not working on my NUC

    Are you using the WiFi on the NUC or the wired network? Assuming the answer is wired - since WOL isn't supported on WiFi - you should check back in the Advanced tab and see if WOL options are available once WOL is enabled in the BIOS. Use the Power On - Normal Boot option. If none of that...
  28. Wake on LAN not working on my NUC

    And you've gone into the BIOS on the NUC and enabled Wake-on-LAN there? I'm making an assumption here that the NUC even supports it. That's an option that may have been automatically enabled on your main PC that isn't enabled on the NUC.
  29. Wake on LAN not working on my NUC

    Er, just to ask the question - does the Roku send the magic packet? I believe it'll need to do so in order to wake up the PC. WOL doesn't mean "wake up on ANY network activity" - it means "wake up when I get a WOL packet"
  30. Wake on LAN not working on my NUC

    Are you running Windows 10's firewall? If so, you may need to add the UDP port 9 exception to allow WOL to work. You'll also need to make sure that when the PC goes to sleep, that the network card isn't one of the things Windows turns off (it is by default). This is a decent-ish looking guide...
  31. What Do I Need? Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI

    If it's dual-link DVI and supports 1440p, it 99% probably supports 1600p. Dual link DVI is dual link DVI. That said, if you're worried, you can buy one of the full-size adapters. The mini DP to full DP is just a pinout change*, it's not an active adapter. *to my knowledge
  32. Cant boot to SSD directly. No option in Bios to boot from SSD. Why? (Solved)

    Yes. You'll need to set the regular boot order first - HDD, CD, Removable Disk, etc. Then, once that's set, typically below that in the BIOS is the "Hard Disk boot priority" or "BBS" or something along those lines. That'll give you a list of disk drives you can choose from to be the primary...
  33. 2TB SSD: Samsung 850 Evo or 850 Pro?

    That sounds like a lot of shuffling around. If you're happy with your setups now (the PC and the HTPC) then I'd leave well enough alone. Only you can decide whether you want to use the SSD on your Xbox or not. If it was me, I'd probably sell it. Well, in honesty, if it was me it'd find some...
  34. 2TB SSD: Samsung 850 Evo or 850 Pro?

    You could do it either way. If it was me, I would keep the drive in the system, or in a USB enclosure, but keep all the stuff on the SSD. Then I would set up a script to take a backup of my user profile weekly or so and copy it over to the 1TB drive. If you got a larger drive, you could just...
  35. 2TB SSD: Samsung 850 Evo or 850 Pro?

    Bonzai, what are you doing to do the SSD caching ?
  36. 2TB SSD: Samsung 850 Evo or 850 Pro?

    I think you have good points for the most part, but miss out on one simple thing. Firstly, the bits I agree on- I obviously don't advocate buying a huge SSD just to store your music and movies on. That's dumb, and mechanical drives are cheaper for mass storage. I have 8x 3TB drives in my...
  37. 2TB SSD: Samsung 850 Evo or 850 Pro?

    I definitely do it for convenience. I run a RAID0 of 1TB SSDs, not for performance, but because I got a good deal on the SSDs and it was the best way to get a single big volume. I still have a mechanical drive, but I spend about 99% less time thinking about my storage solution than when I had a...
  38. BitLocker and Windows 10

    My system doesn't have a TPM, so I just use a password. You have to enable use of passwords in Group Policy, but once it's set you can just pick a password when you encrypt the volume. Then when you move the drive from one system to another, it just continues prompting you for the password like...
  39. Desktop keeps hibernating after awhile of regular sleep

    Plus, doing so will delete a file from your main system volume that's approximately equal in size to your system RAM! If you've got a small-ish SSD for a boot drive, that's a bonus in and of itself.
  40. Asus m32cd-b09 Desktop slow

    *Edit* Ignore me.
