    Question What's everyone use to archive data these days?

    This is great timing. I am in the same boat. I think my luck with hard drives pretty much sucks. I have used various HD manufacturers and without fail, they fail at some point. I do have data backed on multiple drives but it is taking too much time. I am thinking of going the S3 route. Some...

    Advanced File moving

    Thx. I will check out the Split path thing. I think that will be part of the solution. The Advanced Renamer is awesome - not my solution right now as I am not looking for renaming necessarily, but I have bought that program to solve another problem. It simply is an awesome program.

    Consider not buying/building your PC this BlackFriday / This Year

    I was all excited to put together a new computer this BF for my needs: video editing, photo editing and general office applications. Initially I was against the idea of AMDs since that is what I have right now and compared to my Intel PC, AMDs always seemed slow in software. I was...

    Thunderbolt 3.0 / 2x M.2 NVME and GPU - will I get full speeds?

    Hello All, I am planning on getting a new mobo based on Intel chipset. From what I am reading, I am limited by PCIe lanes. I get that the 16 of PCIe lanes will be used by GPU and is dedicated. So that is fine. But some boards have 20 PCIe 3.0 while others have more. Can someone provide...

    Well I guess I am going to have to look at Intel instead of AMD - just saw this youtube video for Lightroom and that is unacceptable in this day and age. Youtube Link

    Time to upgrade from Phenom II X4 960T

    Thx for the guidance. I guess budget is important. I think I was hoping to get the CPU/Mobo/RAM 16Gig for around $500. Laughable? Let me know if so. I mean I can go 8GB Ram until I can afford it I guess. For mobo, I am figuring I need a more advanced version.....need a lot of features. I was...

    Time to upgrade from Phenom II X4 960T

    Hello All, I have had this processor for so long. It has served me well but it is time to change as my needs are changing. What do you guys recommend I go with - an Intel latest generation chip, a Xeon chip or AMD newest chip with lots of cores? Or can I upgrade the current Phenom to...

    Storage Spaces and my experience

    Yeah I understand that....but boy...it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I have had other drives fail before and it is a pain copying the data over to a new drive and all that goes into it. This one comparatively was easy! I do have full backup on another drive in my NAS.

    XBMC or Media Browser or JRiver or Other? Special needs

    Unfortunately, I can't use OpenElec due to Linux and not Windows. I am committed to using Windows 8.1..especially with Storage Spaces technology.

    Well I am going to use Storage Spaces on Win 8.1...hoping that will survive a hard drive crash or two. If the house burns down, well then I have other things to worry about. My photos are all backed up 3 to 4 times so I am not worried about them. Anyways...back to topic...anyone have...

    XBMC or Media Browser or JRiver or Other? Special needs

    Could you share your settings that you use to convert? I am presuming Handbrake? Does this reduce the file size at all? I am assuming no right? Btw, I will have about 6TB of free space.

    Raid, unRaid, No Raid, Storage Spaces, Drive Bender...which?

    Thanx...I will check out FlexRaid. I forgot to mention...I am not a hardcore gamer. So I am not going to have a dedicated gaming GPU. I am going to use the i5 Haswell and the GPU within it only. The case I bought has the capacity to add 12 or fans. It comes with 4 already. The case is...

    Enough benchmarks...which one will work in real world better?

    Another update. I had to cancel my Antec 750W PSU order cause it came to my attention that it may not be able to take advantage of lower C states on the Haswell CPUs. Apparently, the Haswell CPU can lower the power state so much that it is barely pulling any watts. I think like 0.5 or so in...

    Well I cancelled my order for the micro UTX board and got myself another Asus board. This time I decided to just spend the money so that I can get the 2 extra Sata ports. Got the Z87-Plus. With the H87 having 6 sata ports ...it is really like having 4 cause one will goto the cd burner and the...

    Enough benchmarks...which one will work in real world better?

    I just thought about this...I could consider giving my primary PC (Phenom X4 960T / 8 Gig RAM / Radeon 6770 / SSD Drive) to be this HTPC/Gaming/Server Rig. And I can get myself something "lower" powered instead. Is my Primary PC capable of doing all what I need?

    To clarify: I am not trying to run RAID. It is mainly for large 3TB/4TB drives plus a couple of SSD drives. I have my Pictures on 1 drive / Videos on another / Music on another / Personal Data on yet another and so on.

    Hi All, I am looking for a mobo with the most SATA ports...so far I can see 6 as most (in my budget). Ideally I would like to have 8 total. I want to stay within a budget of $125. The alternative for me is to buy the 6 SATA board and then buy a PCI E card to enable at least 2 more...
