    SSD spare space confusion.

    Thanks. This machine will be running linux and I'll need hibernation support. Any thoughts on making that unused area the swap partition, mounted with discard? i

    SSD spare space confusion.

    Can someone help me understand this? On many, though not all, SSDs, performance and life is said to be increased by not allowing the drive to become more than 70-75% full. It's said that this can be done either by just keeping an eye on the the space, or by doing a secure erase and leaving...

    Haswell C2 stepping pains

    Wanting to buy a C2 stepping Server type mobo, Supermicro seemed to have some good ones. So, notes to newegg, amazon, tiger all come back "We have no idea what we have in stock, contact SM". As though SM would know. Notes to SM confirm that both C1 and C2 steppings are in the chain. SM DO...

    What was in bad NTFS sectors?

    Thanks mikeymikec. I took a look for winnit (and chkdsk) entries but couldn't find anything. iirc I may have cancelled the winnit run when I saw it start having problems and the manual runs have always ended with a disk disconnect so maybe they don't get logged unless they complete? So I...

    What was in bad NTFS sectors?

    Had a 3TB NTFS drive go bad on me a few days ago. I've ddrescued it to an image and determined that a single 4k sector (8x512b ntfs psuedo sectors) is unreadable. I would like to try and determine what is damaged so I know what I need to restore from backup after reimaging it. A CHKDSK on...

    Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) requirements

    Looking to build a system I can remotely power cycle. Intel AMT seems to be the thing I need to this, which requires a VPRO-enabled cpu and a Q87 chipset. Does it also require any else on the mobo or is that sufficient? ie are all systems with a vpro cpu and a q87 chipset enabled for AMT? i

    Remote power on/off/reset

    I'm looking for a mobo that I can not only power on remotely, but power off or power cycle as well when the OS locks up. I've read about Intel AMT, Intel Remote View, and some others but am not sure which are current and what I need to look for in a mobo and cpu to get it to work. Any...

    Stop Windows 7 from disconnecting drive on read error?

    easeus disk copy doesn't work at the file level. I've got most stuff off already just want to do the best I can with the others. Just had a quick look at ddrescue and not sure that it can work with ntfs files either, looks like it just images the sectors as well.

    Stop Windows 7 from disconnecting drive on read error?

    Trying to copy what I can off a dying drive using Roadkill's Unstoppable Copier. Unfortunately Windows 7 has its own opinions about what to do when there's a read error and disconnects the drive. Anyone know how to stop Windows from doing this? Ian

    ASUS run around on mobo replacement

    How does SF in place update work?

    I'm clearly not explaining myself very well. Say I have a very large file and I update in place a section of that file with data that does not compress as well as the data that was originally in that section. This *could*, in a poor implementation, cause rolling rewrites for the entire file...

    How does SF in place update work?

    OK... But what if the data I'm rewriting no longer fits in the space available? How does SF cope with that?

    How does SF in place update work?

    Aye, I understand that. What I don't understand though is how they cope with an update to a sector which will no longer fit in the space it did. How much data needs to be rewritten in this case?

    How does SF in place update work?

    iirc the new Sandforce controllers apply compression before storing the data. Anyone know how they cope with an inplace update which no longer fits in the same space as a result of it compressing less? i

    i5-2500k temperature?

    Thanks for that. The BIOS *does* seem to drive it higher. I'll try under Windows as soon as I managed to get the pos installed. The stock cooler *does* have it preapplied. I didn't apply any myself. Though if I want to reseat it do I have to clean everything and reapply? i

    i5-2500k temperature?

    One of the corners was unlocked, but otherwise it was ok. Locked the corner but it hasn't changed the temperature. If I remove/replace the HSF will I have to clean and reapply thermal compound?

    Just got it running in the BIOS for now and it's showing 60C idling, with the stock Intel HSF. Surely that's too high? i

    Building a system for Lightroom photo editing

    I should really get another for spare/backups/archives even if I use one of these. That Samsung's only 5400rpm though. Certainly good enough for backups/archive, but as my main data disk? Wouldn't a 7200rpm be better suited?

    No raid it is then. Thanks :) I quick check on the shelf reveals that the 2TB drives I have there for spares are Seagate Barracuda LPs, 5900 rpm versions. Fine for what they were originally intended (sitting on the shelf with backups or archives), but maybe not quite up to spec for this...

    SSDs and system restores

    If my SSD (boot, OS) dies are there any differences I need to consider when restoring? Also, if I don't have another SSD to hand at the time, can I just replace it with a mechanical drive and restore to that instead? Will be using W7.

    Building a system for Lightroom photo editing

    To RAID or not to RAID the HDDs? I'm thinking that as RAID for protection actually protects against so little that might in practice break the machine (theft, fire, software, ...) that it would be better to deploy any mirror disk for backup instead. Other thoughts welcome.

    Just like to check why that particular GTS 450? Just because of the price after MIR? I'm reading that getting the rebate out of evga is damned hard work. Any real difference between the gts 450 cards or should I just get the cheapest I can find?
