I dont think so! Runs perfectly fine on air!! Even when oced!

Ftw3 ultra has a better cooler, 3 fans instead of 2.. because of that it runs cooler and boost clocks go higher. Also it should be quieter than the xc.. The ftw 3 ultra is the flagship model of evgas product lineup but saying that and from what I’ve heard, in the end they perform all pretty much the same.. only minor performance differences

yes, runs like a dream!!

got the ftw3 ultra and must say very pleased with it! temps stay at 55-60 C and und runs at around 2065 mhz without ocing it!! would recommend

I’ll go for it and let you know how it turned out!!

Just stumbled across this and wondered if it would make sense to get this as a switch - https://www.asus.com/uk/Networking/XG-U2008/ could be useful to connect the nas and my main work rig via 10 gig ethernet.. any thoughts? Cheers, Franz

@Electronics Wizardy @Ryan_Vickers Turns out that the external Seagate Drive was faulty. Just switched to another external ssme model seagate drive and now it is copying at a blazing 150mbs using the standard copy to function in ubuntu.. will return the newly bought one tomorrow.. Thanks for your thoughts and help on this!!

Thanks Ryan!

I see.. It will have to happen slowly then.. thanks for your advice !! really appreciated!

ubuntu was my quick first thought of running an OS from a usb stick, since windows is bricked which only left me with that or the command prompt. internal WD Red 8TB to external Seagate 8TB What do you mean with dd?

@Electronics Wizardy forgot to tag your name!

I see, so I would need to find a way of either finding a command prompt solution or trying to get a disc image done in ubuntu to achieve that kind of write speed.. I'll look into it and see what i can find out! Thanks!!

@Ryan_Vickers Which Robocopy command would you suggest using for what you just wrote? It sounds like the perfect solution to my problem..

Hi Electronics Wizardy Backing up alot of pictures ( size between 26 mb to 60 mb each) and the occasional bigger ones ranging around 600-1200 mb.. It is reading from a WD Red 8tb drive , writing to a seagate external 8tb hdd oh well, that is kinda bad news then.. I guess I am looking at a further couple of days before I can start repairing the operating system on the pc then.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!

Hi Folks, Let me give you a introduction to the problem that I am facing at the moment. The latest security update that Microsoft pushed onto my Work Desktop successfully rendered the system unbootable, putting it into a boot up loop.. well done Microsoft for that! They basically managed to lock up all the drives so that the only way of re initiation windows is to format and reinstall the operating drive. I was still able to see all my data checking misc. command prompt commands. That were great news at this point! I initiated a BackUp of the storage drives onto a external Drive by running Ubuntu from a USB stick, but after 2.5 days it only managed to do 2.6 TB at a decreasing speed of approx. 10 MB per sec. So I decided to cancel and look for a faster way of backing up the data. I now started a back up using a usb stick with windows media tool to access the command prompt, using Robocopy to clone all the files from the intern storage drive to the external back up drive, but it also feels awfully slow. Basically I am out of ideas on how to speed up the backup process and wondered if you guys have ideas on how it could be done faster? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this! Cheers, Senseh
