Tried before you even commented. Tried just about everything i can do without a custom firmware. Nothing worked so i gave up. First tech-problem i have been unable to resolve and have given up on...

copypaste from here so I've basically asked this everywhere at this point, but either people misunderstand or don't know: I have the drives from a discontinued EMC VNX 5300 and 4 DAE disk shelves. a total of 67 drives. 52 of them are physically SAS HDD's and have formatted fine in Linux using sg_format (one of the drives died, but it formatted still). 6 of them are physically SAS SSD's and have formatted fine. then there's the remaining 9 drives. There are (for some god damn reason) Physically SATA 3.5" SSD's. These refuse to format. They are visible as sg devices through lsscsi -g, but with the sg_format command they fail (Pastebin of failed sg_format), presumably due to them being physically SATA, even though they are plugged into the system through a SAS backplane (using the VNX proprietary connector/adapter thingymajig). i have tried gparted and fdisk with the drives in the backplane and they are not visible, probably because they are seen as SAS devices through the backplane. When plugged into a direct SATA interface, they don't work then either in Linux, probably because of the 520 BPS but i don't know. With powershell they are visible through the backplane in get-physicalDisk (Screenshot), but i can't do clean-disk (Screenshot). They cannot be formatted or even brought online in Disk Management or file and storage services, i get the Error: Because of the 520 BPS i presume, as Linux-512-formatted drives goes online and is mounted without a problem, even regular SATA drives that's always been 512 BPS works through the backplane. Anyone have an idea to get these SATA SSD's to behave? The drives i have are something Samsung enterprise, See image. I am basiaclly out of options, i cannot find firmware, i cannot format it in linux, i cannot format it in windows. it isnt seen by a stand-alone HBA, so i can see if it works through there. EDIT: after plugging it directly into a sata-pc with Ubuntu, i get "format unit command: Illegal request sense key, apart from Invalid opcode, type: sense key + asc,ascq" as an error message when i try sg_format

So, i have the motherboard said in the title. I currently have 2 drives: 1 Samsung SSD for boot and 1 2TB HDD for storage. I have a few Intel SSD's i want to set up in raid 0 to store a few applications i want to run faster without cluttering up my C: drive. Now, in the bios there is an option to change the SATA controller mode from AHCI to either IDE or RAID. To configure raid i assume i just flick this option, but will it require all the drives to be set up or can i chose the specific drives? also, I've googled it a bit and it seems some used a Proprietary software to configure raid, but that's not strictly necessary? Also also: it seems like the chipset supports 2 sata 6GB/s and 4 3GB/s, with an ASMedia® PCIe SATA controller that got 2 additional sata 6GB/s ports. if i use raid, does it matter which ports i use? I've obviously got the 2 current drives in the regular SATA 6GB/s. please help a bloke out :)

So LTT didn't get one but Casey freaking Neistat did??

Title. Are they just slow with the first impressions (like they usually are)?

As the title says, if i have two GPUs with the same frequency, lets say 1700mhz, and one card has 1500 CUDA-cores, while the other has 2000, what difference in performance (Real, synthetic, rendering, games) does it make?

I have a nzxt s340 elite and was wondering what is the best setup to get positive air pressure with only space for 4 fans. Right now I have 2x140mm fans sucking air in from the front and pushing it through a radiator (kraken x62) and 2x120mm fans (one in the back and one in the top) as exhaust. Is this enough or should I flip the top fan? Btw I'm using the fans that came with the radiatior and case, so would it be a good idea to keep the orientation and just change the fans for some noctua nf-f12/nf-f14 fans?

Only english link i found https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chieftec-BPS-950C-Nitro-950W/dp/B003VIOQK8 i have this psu.

Hello, i was wondering what kind of connection chieftec uses on their nitro series psu, and where can i buy custom cables for it?

I would love to win the razer blade 14, for Dat sick performance and portability as of right now I'm playing on a toaster
