    TheCynicalCris reacted to Radium_Angel in HP P400i max capacity   
    From the manual:
     
    The SA-P400i supports up to 6 drives depending on the server implementation.
    Support for up to 2 TB in a single logical drive.
     
    So no, it appears, upon further reading, it is 2TB *total*, rather than each...

    I looked up that HP Proliant DL360 server and it seems to be some 1u unit and the raid card diagram shows it's full height. My guess is, your raid card is laying on its side, inside your server? Then just find the best raid card for your price range.

    Back in the days, the must have brand for raid cards was Adaptec. Then came others like LSI.  Newest SAS specs is up to 12Gb/s

    Because it's top-of-the-line for LGA775, it hasn't been manufactured since 2009-2010 and some people just don't know how to price things.
    "Oh, it's a quad-core, man. It's perfect for gaming!" *busts out a Q6600* "That'll be $200!"
     
    And some people get it to overclock the snot out of it in oldschool competitions

    Yep like that guy.
    In a way I do understand some of these people, but most of them exaggerate.
    I understand that they spend a lot of money when they got it, so now they want some of that money back (I sold a lot of hardware on the used market so I understand the need of wanting to make some of that money back), but that doesn't mean they should ask 80% to what they paid for that piece of hardware 10 years ago.

    One reason is that people are complete idiots that don't understand that value for the things they bought years ago goes down by a lot, especially when talking about PC parts.
    I saw a guy a couple of months ago that was selling an ATI HD4830 1GB model for about 120$ or so, that card is about 10 years old at this point. And he was trying to justify the price by using some online store that still had one in stock and that store was selling it for 200$.
    That card today is barely worth 30$.

    I am looking at used Q9650, but yes the people who selled it they priced it at $69! I rather go for much cheaper Q8400

    Practically the same reason you pay out the wazoo for legacy hardware in general. Sometimes it's carelessness when it comes to repricing inventory, other times it's straight up exploitation just in case someone needs an old component due to failure etc. Lots of people I know have had an emergency situation where something blew up but they couldn't replace the entire system. This is why, if you're trying to find something like this, you look to the used market. And if possible (because I'm not a fan of buying hardware sight unseen), do it through acquaintances. You'd be surprised what you can find asking around.

    TheCynicalCris got a reaction from Technomancer__ in What gpu should buy instead of gtx 1050ti ??   
    Recently I had similar problem. 1050 or 660Ti. Went for 660Ti from Asus and for such an old and cheap card the preformance is amazing. For example The Witcher 3 on high runs at around 60fps. The only issue is that after two years of electricity bills I could afford 1080 ;p.

    TheCynicalCris reacted to G27Racer_188 in New motherboard for SLI   
    Well, LGA 775 with DDR3 and SLI means nforce 790i chipset, so you need to look for motherboards that have it, and there are not many boards that do.
    I know EVGA has board with this chipset, and also ASUS P5N64 WS Professional.
     
    If you can step down to DDR2 than you have more options with 680i and 780i and other nforce SLI chipsets.

    TheCynicalCris reacted to brwainer in Disable everything but WinBox   
    You could do it via SSH, meaning for each router you just have to log in then paste your prewritten commands. That would shave time off versus using Winbox. In other words, use SSH to shut off SSH. I imagine as soon as SSH is turned off, that session will stop existing, so make that the last service.

    Buy the 1080 and use VSR, that'll reduce CPU bottlenecks and make games look nicer. When you have money again buy the new platform.

    Yea thats true but in normal conditions you are only going to get about 30-40 MB/s, at least for me. You are going to be limited to this speed...but still faster that 100mbit tho
