I COULD KISS YOU THANK YOU SO BLOODY MUCH

I'm beyond confusion at this opoint guys, I just got a 2TB Seagate Firecuda SSD for my PC.. this is a secondary drive for my new build which has a 500GB NVME drive as the boot device. The new drive does not work on MY PC. I tried it with multiple SATA cables, multiple power cables (can feel drive spinning up, so both cables are clearly working), swapped the SATA cable into multiple ports on the motherboard. Nothing. Not in BIOS, nor disk management. So I was prepared to send it back to Amazon, but figured I'd bring it to my dads for a quick test there. Voila! It fired right up in disk management on my dads laptop, his main computer and my brothers computer! So my main question is this I guess.. what are the odds that either all the SATA cables I own are faulty, all my motherboard ports are faulty, or is there just something I"m missing here? I'm so stumped and frustrated, I don't know what else to do at this point, anything helps. Thanks lads

Seems it's just a dead drive, it's not even being picked up in disk management or BIOS, tried with the cables from the other older HDD in there, still no dice. Thanks for the tips lads

I feel like I should know the answer to this as this wouldn't be my first dead drive, but I just bought a FireCuda online and it's not working at all. I've tried swapping out the SATA and power cables, switching the port on my motherboard with one I know to be working, to no avail. Do I have a dead drive, or does someone have any last suggestions for me to try before I return it? Cheers folks

The NES I have somewhere that fell down two flights of stairs. I think I could kill someone with that thing.

Most people don't build their computers or phones.

Most people that drive a car have little concern for how it works, so long as it does work.

Big fan of Camaro's, have a 77 myself with the back seats taken out for dat weight reduction, but that's definitely gotta be my favourite.

My mom got a really nice computer from her boyfriend back when I was seven or eight, I didn't know anything about it other than it was pretty damn near top notch and custom built, and I played Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 3 for daaaaays on end.

All my ad suggestions have been replaced with mini fridges on Amazon since I watched this.

The depreciation has always gotten to me, I paid $750 CAD a piece for my 290x's, price dropped a few months later with the launch of the 980 and 970, so they were $600 and now they sit at $500, which is still pricey given you can have an 8GB 290x for about a hundred bucks less still, so I definitely couldn't get away with getting rid of them for more than 300, 350 at a stretch. I don't have any regrets though, I know how this sort of thing works, it's kind of like how the value on a BMW, Audi or Merc will drop like a rock whenever they redesign the car, the new stuff just makes the old stuff look like crap, especially with high end things.

They're a smaller bunch, but I honestly wouldn't pick a fight with a PowerColour fanboy, they're bloody savage.

Mmmmm, not so sure that's as impressive as they think it is. You could strip all the excess off of a Bugatti and probably achieve similar, if not faster results.

I'm preparing to swap out the 290x's for something else, it's really bittersweet because a) I love how the black and yellow just goes with my colour scheme and cables, and b) I must've had golden horseshoes up my ass when I bought the cards, because I've had them up to 1180mhz on the core clock over both cards running stable, just binned really nice. It's gonna be a shame having to either change up from MSI to match the colour, or having to redo the colour on the MSI G-Series cards.

Good video, I liked the boot in my ass over Top Gear. Clarkson and them will be back sometime, but Linus will do for now. You guys should have seen how many computer cases would have fit in the back, or something.

I had some bugger in here buying some of my old DDR3 stuff, bugger had a 980ti hooked up to an FX-6300

Iunno if it's been mentioned, or if it even counts, but my number one for PC builders is goddamn Corsair LINK. It's just so.. sketchy, I had it working to most of it's extent with my old H100i, but with the H110i GT, I just can't get it to work, so I grabbed an NZXT Grid+ and cut Link right out.

You seriously expect ISIS to just "settle down"? I've heard some questionable thoughts, but man...

THIS. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THIS. I had a 9590 on a Crosshair board, best AMD CPU and Mobo, and the damn thing was getting stomped in firestrike by even lower end i5's. It physically hurts to say it, but I was a huge AMD CPU fanboy back in the day, but modern Intel CPU's wipe the floor with AMD for gaming.

Damn son, this thread is weighty, but I'm kind of glad someone brought it up, kinda shows you how most people just don't want anything to do with war and its casualties. Now this is going to go against some people, but I think that the solution to issues like Israel and Palestine, North Korea, ISIS, and the worse parts of the African continent would benefit from all the big powers (US, Russia, China, the EU and I'm sure you guys could name more) getting an equal amount of boots on the ground in each area in some sort of co-operative agreement. In my mind it leads to another touchy subject, which is the influx of immigrants from these over-populated and just downright dangerous areas flooding into Europe and across to North America. Now, this is where a lot of people take me poorly on this, I understand that these people are simply looking for a better life for themselves and their families, but I don't believe that the solution is this mass migration, but in that we need to fix their parts of the world, so that it isn't almost a necessity for them to leave to have any shot at anything better. Ask yourselves this, if all the above mentioned "powers" in the world were to band together and agreed to work together to clean up a bit, and we knew that it would only take, iunno, say 2 years before ISIS was wiped out, North Korea was undone from it's shackles, and we had peace in the Middle East. Would the loss of lives in that period, be worth the years of peace, and all the lives saved? Fallout seems to have it sort of wrong, was has changed, there's just less morality to it these days because you can murder thousands with the push of a button from the other side of the planet.

I'm mad that someone could even consider that.. THING halfway good looking

Yet so much more efficient, I don't see anyone else throwing 2 kilos of metal on to their 980ti's. As for the design, they probably had a meeting that went something like "What do the kids like these days? Carbon fibres cool, right? How about faux-carbon fibre? Yeah? Great job everyone, let's get lunch.". I just realized you own one, so arguing with you is kind of like wrestling a pig in the mud.

No, it really isn't, and there's no reason whatsoever for the damn thing to be rocking an even bigger cooler than my Lightnings do.

Yeah, which sits itself in the same price block where I am as EVGA's hybrid card, I think I'll pass on that big, ugly ass card.

I'm an MSI fanboy, but EVGA and Gigabyte seem to be doing the best with nVidia cards lately, from what I've seen they tend to boost the clock higher than anything else right now.
