  1. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    I have pondered an LSI 9240-8i with CacheCade using an SSD for an internal RAID 0 array. I need to invest more in external offsite backups first though. Thinking of a CRU DataPort (Wiebetech) RTX430-3QR at the moment since my single 3TB backup drives are completely full. I'd go Promise Pegasus...
  2. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    I doubt SSD caching would offer much benefit to my photo editing though on the RAID array... not likely to hit the cache too often, and I'd rather know the files were written and saved before syncing to external backup right afterward.
  3. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    I could, and I've thought of it, but I wouldn't have enough SATA ports on the Intel chipset unless I used one SSD for C and a second for caching. I think two striped for C would do more for me, unless someone has some data for me showing otherwise. I might test a few scenarios before settling on...
  4. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    The cost difference between a WD Red and RE4 is about $25. Or $100 for a 4 drive array. Enough to ponder the differences. I wonder what the performance difference would be between four RE4s on a Z77 chipset in RAID 0 vs. four on a good external hardware array over USB 3.0 (such as the TR5UT+B)...
  5. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    Didn't mean that as a rebuttal, if it came across that way! :-P I wouldn't have known myself if it weren't for people sharing info on forums though. WD says nothing on their packaging. Grrrrrr!
  6. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    About the WD Blacks: they have TLER or time-limited error recovery disabled, and thus do not work well in a RAID array.
  7. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    Yeah, sorry for the confusion! I meant that I was trying to weigh my options on what I currently have and whatever I'll get. To be flexible, it would be nice to be able to use whatever I get in another fashion over the next three years, likely that will be in an external RAID array, so it...
  8. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    Yes, I was planning on using the Marvell ports for my Bluray and DVD burners. Strangely, my Bluray burner does not work on my current Marvell 1.5Gbps port when my DVD burner does, even though both can be seen fine in the BIOS. Many others have reported this as a driver bug, but it has never been...
  9. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    Correct, but I'd be moving my four existing 3Gbps drives from 1.5Gbps ports to 3Gbps, or replacing them with two Western Digital RED drives (where the 6Gbps would be making no difference). I'm betting four older 1TB drives would be faster than two newer 2TB drives in RAID 0 due to having more...
  10. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    The RAW .nef files from my Nikon D700 are about 14-16MB. Lightroom reads these files but does not write to them. Instead it writes a small 3-16KB .xmp file for each photo with the edits. When I export as .tiffs to work in other programs they are anywhere from 35-70MB apiece for 8 or 16-bit...
  11. Four SATA 3Gbps drives or two SATA 6Gbps drives in RAID 0?

    I have four aging Seagate ST31000528AS (Barracuda 7200.12 1TB 7200 rpm 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s) drives in a RAID 0 array on an Intel P55 chipset. I edit thousands of photos at a time for timelapse photography with Lightroom, After Effects, Premiere Pro, etc. I'm upgrading to a Z77 chipset and...
  12. Looking for a good project for a Core i7 and ATI 5870

    biodoc, yeah, I tried that trick from the first link. Maybe it worked under VMWare 6.5.x, I'm not sure, but it's not working for me in Workstation 7 with Windows 7 on a Core i7 (and I thought the number 7 was perfection!). If I put anything higher than numvcpus = "4" Workstation 7 won't start...
  13. Looking for a good project for a Core i7 and ATI 5870

    biodoc, I read all that. The problem, as I posted, is that VMWare Workstation 7 and Player 3 will not co-exist, and I can't ditch Workstation. GLeeM, thanks! I considered running two VMWare Workstation sessions, but didn't see the point over a Windows native client if I wasn't doing -bigadv...
  14. Looking for a good project for a Core i7 and ATI 5870

    Well, this forum has certainly waned over time! I used to be in the top 10 for Rosetta@Home back a few years ago before work and the number of computers I had changed. Recently I built a Core i7 with an ATI 5870 and I thought I'd see what Team Anandtech was up to these days. How is everyone...
  15. Intel DG33TL board, boots really slow

    I had a D945GTP that was doing something similar last week. It was shutting down instead of going to standby and required a full boot and login when "waking up". Using the latest BIOS too. I set sleep mode to S1 instead of S3 in the BIOS and all is well now. Not sure why S3 doesn't work right on...
  16. P55 and memory speeds

    Hadn't considered that, truly useful info, thanks! Thanks too Ben90. What article was your quote from? I suspect a soon to be posted Lynnfield followup article might address this too.
  17. P55 and memory speeds

    Well, suffice to say that my current computer doesn't have exactly the same components it did when it was built. About the only thing that has stayed the same is the case, power supply, motherboard, and CPU. I gave up on upgrades for this machine when everything moved to PCI Express. I also have...
  18. P55 and memory speeds

    Yeah, I considered G.SKILL 2000MHz but the default timings were 9-9-9-27 and Patriot was 8-8-8-24 at the same voltage, though admittedly higher cost. My bigger question is how much of a tradeoff are you getting in real world performance (not benchmarks). How far is it worth pushing and still be...
  19. P55 and memory speeds

    I tend to run a computer platform 5+ yrs and it?s time to replace my ancient P4 (3.06GHz, 533MHz FSB). I?m going with a P55 motherboard, 860 CPU, and 8GB memory. I?m trying to figure what memory to get though. I?d like to stick with 1.65v tops since I?ll be using this machine for the long term...

  32. Rosetta: Top RAC Systems on the TeAm as of 3 Mar 2007

    I put a dual Xeon 5130 into service this week that has a RAC of 480 so far. It's a contender!

    Thanks! Got a dual Xeon 5130 back in the running again this week. Daily averages have been really low without it! :-P
  34. Rosetta@Home - 01/13: Stats & milestones

    Wooooohoooooo!!! Congrats to the other milestone makers too! Awesome!
  35. Pentium D's Suck for DC

    I completely agree! I have a number of Pentium D 8xx and 9xx systems running R@H with stock Intel coolers and Intel motherboards. They are stable as can be, but I have to set Rosetta to 50% or the fans go nuts within 10 minutes. They are dang hot! I've got a couple dual Xeon 5130 servers...

    Wooohoooo! I didn't know I was coming up on that milestone! Sweet!
  37. F@H: SMP beta client can use 4 CPUs to crunch one WU!
