    why would you want to? other than not needing to, but that's a different story altogether

    unlikely that it's fragmented that bad, or that it's dying that bad, but the startup programs are likely the cause

    thank you john!

    how did anyone beleive "64% improvment"? i eman, aside from adding a profile for a game, I'd call bullshit on anyone claiming this sort of boost from drivers. 10-20% is pretty reasonable, but you cannot get a 64% boost without some firmware and/or hardware changes. you can only do so much from a software standpoint.

    i've had the g930 for a year now. first set lasted 4 month before a freak electrical issue popped up, the RMA was pretty easy, and the replacement is solid. zero issues, even in the wifi saturated College Dorm i live in. hell, I have a wireless mouse, laptop, rommate's laptop, cell phones, and countless other wireless devices in the rooms around me. despite all the RF noise, I still get clear audio signal accross the entire floor of my dorm hall, with the exception of the far rooms. i will say that the audio quality is nothing to brag about, especially the bass, but it's better than the earbuds I was using before. however, I have not encountered the volume problem... my headset actually overpowers my laptop's speakers, and the monitor speakers for my desktop, in open air. I usually leave the volume at like 10% too. mic as well.

    i suppose, if you are intending to do a review. this is not a review or benchmark. these are failure/problem statistics for the drives that they use, under conditions that can probably be considered torture testing. not intended to be a "fair" comparison of drives under normal use. well, the seagate green drive has a massive failure rate. however, this does not mean it's a bad drive. the green drives are low-power drives, they are not meant for constant use like, say, a standard barracuda is. the green drives spin down when theya re not being read from or written to, and really, they're meant for use as consumer storage drives. in the enterprise environment, they are spinning down and spinning up constantly, so of course the drives are failing.

    dafaq? what do you mean "normals and controls" THEY ARE ALL HARD DRIVES IN THE SAME CONDITIONS, OF VARIOUS BRANDS. you can't do a control.

    then why do they only have a 90 day warranty? WD blacks have a 3-year warranty. and also, they are not talking constellations, rather consumer drives.
  11. Commissar
    they have 12,000 drives each of seagate and hitachi. and this is a percentage, so the total number is irrelevant. guys, just because YOUR drives have not failed yet, doesn't mean this test is invalid. this is an enterprize environment. these drives are running 24/7. and it's quite probable that hitachi (now owned by WD) fixed their drives, but the reputation lingers.

    i'll answer anywyas: nothing. nvidia sucks at mining. the titan, which is nvidias best card for mining, gets about the same as the 7850... for about 9x the cost.

    meh... I just want to take the hawaii arch, and pull a tesla with it... stick 6g of vram, with insane bandwidth, and 2 hawaii cores... but cut out trueaudio, display output, etc... and put on a cooler that uses double 120mm noctuas, heatpipes, etc... hell, stick the VRM and vram on the top of the card, with their own heatsink and fan... but that cards would be so goddamn heavy....
