So there are 3 different types of keys, and 2 different forces for each one (without getting too deep in to it) There is linear - these have no bump, just smooth all the way down. These are the MX Red (light) and black (heavy) There is tactile - these have a bump so you feel them actuate, but no loud click. These are the MX Brown (light) and clear (heavy) And there is clicky - these have a bump and a click. I like these the most but they make a lot of noise. These are the MX blue (light) and the MX Green (heavy) It sounds like you'd like reds or browns

The adapter is $30. And it says it works with windows, Mac, and Linux. I think the controller on the board does all of the mounting and the OS sees it as a single disk.

Yeah I have an old R610 running off of a flash drive on an internal USB header designed for just that. This is unique because it’s 10 SD cards on a SATA interface meant to be accessed as a single drive. Also it’s just so... weird Who made this? And why?

@LinusTech this would be an interesting video

$20ish gets you a good quality 64 gig card from amazon, so $200 would get you a weird 600ish gig drive after formatting. With unknown performance... You’d be all in for about $250, which is getting within pocket change of a 1 TB SSD. I know which one I’d pick.

A cheap Class 10 will do 10 MB/s, but you can get 30 or even 90 MB/s. The biggest problem I can think of (besides reliability) is that things like SD aren’t meant for continuous write, so moving big files might tank performance. But even with some okay quality 10 MB/s cards you’d get a theoretical 800 Mb/s (megabit, not megabyte now) of throughput. That’s getting close to gigabit.

Right??? I’d like to test it but I’d never run something like this as a real storage drive. The idea is so bad it’s interesting.

I found some articles talking about the strangest drive I’ve ever seen. It has a SATA connector just like an SSD and 10 micro SD slots on it. http://usb.brando.com/10-x-micro-sd-to-sata-ssd-adapter-raid-quad-2-5-sata-converter_p13939c0046d015.html it looks like the idea is that you can put up to 10 micro SD cards in it and run various RAID configurations on them and access the drive like a normal SSD. I think it it would be super cool to play with, but I don’t have the money to blow on a bunch of SD cards. I wonder what performance is like... I’d guess read speeds would be pretty good, but sustained write might be weak. And reliability might be weak. I’d love to see a video on this little thing.

Also you can save the shell and you have a USB 3.0 external HDD. Assuming you have another drive to throw in it.

Try this. I have a 1440p 60Hz monitor and a 1080p 144Hz monitor and have no issues playing anything full screen.

If price is a concern, every once in a while the WD Easystore 8 TB goes on sale for about $150-180. If you peel the stupid plastic shell off of it you get a brand new WD Red 8 TB drive. They're not even old stock. The date of manufacture on mine was August 2017 when I bought it in early September. After looking at it online they're on sale right now at Best Buy for about $180, which isn't bad for a $300 MRSP product containing a $275 drive.

Next budget >$100??????????????

I mean, at the same time it's a cardboard box. Cable management and layout is what you make it lol
-
I did do some cable management before I sealed up the box. Meaning I zip tied the cables away. What was I thinking? "I now have enough parts to build a PC" and "Why not?" mostly.

It runs fine, the 8350 gets a little warm while gaming but is also OC'd to 4.4 GHz. The R7 260X leaves a bit to be desired in 2017. It was only ~$50 out of pocket to get it up and running so I'm happy enough with it. It's kind of a conversation piece.
