    Anandtech Holiday Giveaway!

    Don't forget people, there may be even more prizes available. I will probably have a decent high'ish capacity SSD and maybe even higher end graphics card or CPU mobo kit. So even if you don't need a new 460 graphics card, there may be a higher end or something else. I will update the post...

    290X vs 780Ti2016

    1TB SSD for PS4?

    well damn... i think i'm definitely gonna be the first one to test out a range of SSD controllers in the PS4. i have a ton of SSDs, just not a lot of spares that are 500GB+. i'm gonna plop in a sandforce 1 & 2 too just because! only going to try a like the same 3 or 4 games though. if...

    1TB SSD for PS4?

    EDIT: PS4 wasn't taking the update file but upon careful examination, Chrome for whatever reason renamed the actual file name! derp derp derp... I'll see how this SanDisk goes and then try out the PNY.

    Raid Question

    Pop the card in another computer; hell, your personal desktop would be fine just to see if it's still recognized. Did you zap it with your finger while screwing around inside? I've actually personally done that and before diving in, always touch something metal. For some reason, my primary...

    1TB SSD for PS4?

    Yeah. I've seen improvements in my travels of the web of games going from 35 seconds to 22 seconds, but others being 25 seconds to 21 seconds. The SSHD seems like the best of both worlds, but hey, I get freebie drives all the time and figured may as well chuck one in there. Glaring_Mistake...

    1TB SSD for PS4?

    So the Marvell is a safe bet... Just like the PC I guess. Hoping maybe someone chimes in that has a Sammy, Sandforce and/or Phison to see what differences, if any, there are. The 2 drives I mentioned I have on hand already and they were freebies. I have a 1TB 840 EVO Samsung in my guest PC I...

    1TB SSD for PS4?

    Anybody out there have a PS4 with an SSD in it? I have a Toshiba 1TB SSHD (8GB SLC NAND Cache) and wanted to put in a 1TB (960GB actually) in my PS4 *just because*. I have a SanDisk Ultra II 960GB and a PNY CS1311 960GB that I could potentially use. Does anybody have a PS4 with an SSD in...

    Surplus OEM RAID cards (e.g. Dell, Lenovo, HP, et. al)

    you get what you pay for... i would spend a bit more and get an areca. i've found 4 port hardware used areca cards for $17 on ebay though. they're sata2 3.0Gb with 128MB or 256MB cache i think.

    OCZ changed warranties again!

    i had a failed vertex 3 drive i kept mailing back and they finally mailed me a vertex 4. they took care of warranties really well, but at great personal cost i would imagine, making them a tempting target to buy. :)

    OCZ changed warranties again!

    This means we may get more quality drives too! Can't even begin to count how man failed Vertex and Agility drives I've gone through over the years. OCZ was a warranty revolving door!

    GPU enthusiasts, how much are you actually willing to spend?

    i haven't paid for a GPU in probably the last 6, maybe 7 years, so $0 for me! as long as i stay put at my job anyway, then i'll be feeling the hurt again. before that though, $399 was the max i spent.

    Anybody else unimpressed with new midrange Nvidia GPUs, and much higher MSRP?

    wonder what the Ti is gonna be priced at with these cards priced this way. heck, the Ti may be $999 and new x80 Titan $1499!

    Anyone else "addicted" to buying SSDs? SSD "Connoisseurs"?

    i can't even begin to count the SSDs i've had. i've given away dozens alone to friends, family and even forum members. luckily they're freebies or my wife would be quite upset!

    When Vapor Chambers Fail

    Wow! Didn't even think those old passive cooled AMD 5450/6450, etc even got THAT hot. I buy those for work machines a lot but always get the ones with a small fan on it to avoid heat dumping in the case. But.... YIPE!

    OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS not booting.

    so far, i've had it happen to several SF drives, vertex/agility 2/3 drives. luckily i haven't had any other failures i guess though. this forum used to be rife with vertex 3 drives dying back when they were the fastest available. :)

    Recent HDD price increase?

    yeah, i think you're right. the sale prices kind of make you think those are the new norm. when i go looking for new SSDs, i always think "oh, ~$220 for 960GB+" but then it's quite a bit more online. then i see a sale later.

    RAID Card Died, HELP!

    So I updated my BIOS and it reset back from RAID to AHCI, which usually isn't a big deal; reboot, set back, done. Windows 10, however, grabs the first available drive in the array and automatically overwrites the boot record and shows as unformatted at the size of the full array. So yeah...

    PCIe SSD (M.2), just not worth it for me correct?

    Magician, unfortunately, doesn't pick up the SM951 (OEM) drives. :( Back on topic, you wouldn't notice a difference at all between the M.2 and SATA 6.0Gb. Unless you get a great deal and it's the same cost, may as well get the M.2. I'm just butt-hurt about my experience so far. I was...

    Is the Micron M500 a good deal?

    I feel ya man. I have a 1TB raptor that still sports a lot of files I don't want to lose too that's probably about the same age. I have my Desktop and Documents pointed to the raptor and sync'd to my server on a RAID6 array. The high capacity are still stupid expensive. The 1TB Sammy's and...

    Is the Micron M500 a good deal?

    Like others said, I got a few of them during a huge sale and use them in work PCs. The end-users are very happy and ask if they can bring in their PC and put an SSD in. It's still so cute how users go from an HDD to SSD and think it's just not possible a system can be THAT fast. Most all SSDs...

    PCIe SSD (M.2), just not worth it for me correct?

    Running Windows 10 Pro with it. When I had my 850 PRO there were no hiccups at ALL. Now, even bringing up task manager, gives me a couple second pauses. When I'm actually WORKING, i expect everything to open in less than a second so it's quite annoying and slows me down. My work computer...

    500GB SSD: 850EVO, 850Pro, Corsair LE?

    If you Google, you can find a torture test for the first TLC 840 (non EVO or PRO) and they got like 8PB or something ridiculous out of it. Ever since that, I try to stay with Samsung for all of my OS drives. EDIT: I can't find the one showing several PB, but now I think of it, it may have...

    Nintendo DX GPU?

    here's to hoping nintendo goes for a console that can do 4k gaming at least 30fps, otherwise, like others say, it's going to be considered a 4 year old console if performance is similar to ps4.

    PCIe SSD (M.2), just not worth it for me correct?

    i regret my M.2 drive. stupid thing causes random lockups in applications since i switched from an 850 pro to SM951. could just be bad luck on my part (which most likely is) but i'm not happy with its performance.

    New Samsung Magician v4.9.6 pulled...?

    i'm not sure if RAPID mode does deferred writing to SSD, but if so, it is 100% useful for prolonging the life of your SSD. :)

    RAID Card Died, HELP!

    RAID Card Died, HELP!

    the drives are still recognized in the bios/raid bios? re-add the array with no initialization if an option exists for "recovery". what raid card is it? if cheap enough or if you have a spare you can try moving it in case the card itself is bad.

    X58 and memory

    I remember back when I was still rocking the i7 9XX series I couldn't get 8GB DIMMS to work in my board. A Google search also shows people not getting 8GB DIMMS to work. As long as you researched your actual mobo and got DIMMS known to work on it from other users, then w00t! You know they...
