What i found out is that SMR and CMR is not the same. CMR will be easy to get all data out off. SMR you need something call "SMR translator" or "module 190" to be working to get data. If this also got deleted, you can't read any data and get all zero. So i need something that can fix this and then restore the data. I found something called ACElab that can fix it "https://www.acelab.eu.com/news/the-new-pc-3000-software-ver-7212" or dolphin data lab https://www.dolphindatalab.com/dfl-all-in-one-data-recovery-hardware-tool-version-2-3-upgrade-software-is-available/ But they are really expensive so i hope there is some other software that can do it. But can't find any so hope someone know more about this problem and know what i can do. And Photorec also just get zero data.

Hey. TL:DR Is there any software out there that can recover data from a SMR WD driver? Drive model: WD10SMZW I have a friend where there WD 1 TB usb drive went into RAW format after he unplug it. I told him to do nothing and give me the driver so i could scan it and recover all the data. But all software i tried simple return zero on all sector. I then believed the head or something else had died, and thought about move the platter, because there is only 1 platter in the drive, so should be somewhat easy. I then bought a new drive with same model number and everything and started with a test on the new drive to see it work as it should. Copy some data, format the driver and run a scan of the driver. Zero data found again. I did not get that, the data should be there and have done it so many times before, but no software could see any data. I then started to look into the drive, what was so special with this drive, that i could not get any data out. The drive is a SMR drive, and all software i got can only recover from, CMR So now i'm stuck, do any off you know how to recover data from SMR driver? I have not move the platter or anything from the original driver, after i found out what the real problem was. This is my first time trying to recover data from a SMR driver, and not sure what to do, and can't find anything good on google. So hope someone here know a thing or to about recover data from SMR driver.

Ending up getting the LSI 9361-8i with CacheVault and battery for 250$ The seller told the card was "New", it was pulled out from a workstation and never used. It looked like to be a really great deal and a bit more future proof, then 9271 or 9260. So i hope i made a ok deal and the card will be ok. All the reviews i could fine looks really good

Great, thanks for the help

I just think it will be better and more safe to have a real raid card then software. The 9260-8i is really cheap on ebay, but the 9271-8i, is also not that bad on ebay. So if the 9271 is much better, maybe i will go with that, What about cable, can i just buy any SAS to Sata cable? or is there some that are better then others?

90% af the time i use my raid, the cpu is around 100%. So right now my cpu is a bottleneck as i see it. But it's also to have better protection, so i can lose 2 drives and not just 1. I know that, i have a friend with where i can borrow a NAS, so i can move my data and then make the new raid, and then move it all back It's on Windows 10 and Intel RST

Hey you all. I'm looking to buy a raid card that can do raid 6. But there are so many cards out there and i don't know what i should look for. Right now i use 4x3TB wd red in software raid 5. And the performance are ok, but not that good. I want to buy 2 more disk so i will get 6x3TB and then run them in raid 6. So i have better data protection. Should i just buy a cheap raid card on ebay or get a new on? and what brand should i look for? I have look at this https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sas-6gb-raid-controller,3028-3.html but thats from 2011. But those card are really cheap on ebay right now. But don't know if i buy a new one, if it will that much better or not? I hope to buy one below 200$ if that possible. So is there anyone here that know a bit more about raid cards that will help me with this one

I think i will save op a bit more and get the Scarlett Solo and try that one out with the at2020 Thanks alot for your input

Thanks for that TheAgnda, that's alot of great info I know the most XLR mic's need 48 volt, but i don't see any power supply for the UM2 and the Scarlett Solo. Sure you can step up the USB 5 volt to 48 volt, but then you really don't have alot of current. And is this really enough to run the mic? And one more thing, i can see that both UM2 and Scarlett Solo have RCA out, and my sound card have RCA in. Will it be better to use RCA in to my sound card and use it's ADC or use the ADC in one of them and get the audio over USB?

Scarlett looks to get really great reviews, so that could be a options Thanks for the input

Hey you awesome guys I'm looking for a new mic. Right now i have a "sennheiser pc350se" and sound card "creative sound blaster zxr" This card only have 6.35 jack and RCA input. But everywhere i found a great review on mic's, it's always XLR mic's. I know you can buy a XLR to 6.35 jack cable, but don't get how this will work because the mic need power. So, what do i need to get so a XLR mic will work? Or do i just skip XLR and get a normal 6.35 jack mic? Do any of you have any recommendation on what to do? Or what mic to buy? I'm looking at a price point around 100-200$ I'm from time to time edit my gameplay and there i can hear my mic today is really not the best one, so there for i want a new mic

Hey all So i got an NZXT Kraken X62 v2 and when it's working, it's really great. But i'm not sure if it's the AIO or the CAM software that is the problem but, I have never have the software or AIO work when i turn my pc on for the first time every day in 2-3 weeks now. The software wont start and the colour is the default blue and even sometimes the fans wont spin, only the pump is running. do i force shutdown CAM software and start it again, it will start but can't see the AIO. I then have to restart the pc, after that everything is working as it should. No problem at all. But i can't be right i have to start my pc, and then do an restart to get this running every single time? I have tried every USB2 header on the MB and tried to reinstall the CAM software. Now i running 3.5.30, release date 12 dec. 2017 So, do any of you have an idea on what i can try or anything?

Not every window. but it's a good idea, i will try to set some solar cell in every window and log how much sun they get over 1 week and then see I had only tried 1 window to see if i will get any sun or not, and i get alot of hours of good sun. But i will try and see how big the difference is between every window.

What dose it say in Device manager? can you see it in there when you have added it to your pc? Next thing, what do you try to connect to? do you have a DHCP on your router, so your pc is getting an ip?

It will be on the inside so should not be any problem there Yes i know, i need a 12v system, so have to be parallel Well i thought a big panel will stop making power if there is shadow on it, because the voltage will drop. See the picture, If that's 1 big panel, if there is shadow on 1,A,B,C,D,E and 2,A,B,C,D,E that will be 40% of the panel and think the voltage will drop below 12v and stop making power. But if you had 5 panels like every number is a panel, you lose 1 and 2 because of shadow, but 3-4-5 will still make power because each is making 12v. Maybe i'm completely wrong and 1 big panel will still give power, just 40% less?

I make the panels myself and i have bypass diodes i can add on them. i have around 4 small places where i can have solar panels. i in the morning 1 will be block by shadow and in the afternoon another will be block by shadows for some time before the rest will get in shadow. It's because i live in an apartment where i can use 4 windows that get alot of son.

Well not that far, less then ½ meter i think. and to the charge controller a few meters i think. I have some big cables that should be ok for the task. I will make the panels myself from cells, so i think the price will be close to the same. it's just if a need a few big cells to make 12v and 1 big solar panel og many small cells to make more panels at 12v. Thats right, did not think of that. easy to replace 1 small panel and cheaper, then 1 big, if for some reason 1 will get damage

Hey. I working on solar cell / panel project. Just for fun and to see how much power i can get. And in the end see if i can run my pc or something else on solar But i can't find any info on what will be better: 1 big solar panel (12v) or many small (12v) and set them in parallel? I will think many small will be better, because if the shadow blocks some of them, the rest still makes power. Where on the 1 big, if some of it have shadow it wont make any power. Well this is what i think but i don't know, and my google skills is not good enough to find any info about what is better. So do any of you know what will be best? And again, it's just a project for fun

Found the problem. DWM.exe For some reason the dwm.exe (desktop windows manager) is a bit sick i think. After restart the pc is running great for 10-20 sec and then the lags starts. Do i kill dwm.exe, all is running great and normal again. but the funny think is, that dwm.exe start right after i kill it, but the problem has gone. And the problem is there again after a restart. So i think i have to make a task in task scheduler to kill it after a startup or find a why to fix dwm.exe. But thanks for the help anyway

Hey Yes temps are just fine. around the 40 degrees. but not sure what i should try and monitor, Everything i can see is not using any thing. all around 0% cpu usage. Kaspersky is gone. but still the same problem. The pc is still only responding every 10-15 sec As you can see in the first screen shot. the pc is idle and kaspersky is not doing any thing. so it's not a scan that are running right now

Hey. So my HTPC starts to lag for no reason that i know of. I started the pc this morning and it was lagging just setting on the desktop and doing nothing, There was an update for "Samsung Magician" so i tried to update that. Still the lag is still there so i uninstall it again. No help. If i open task manager, the pc is can't be more idle but the window only makes an update ever 10-15sec or so. If i open a folder, it takes around the same time before the folder open. It's like the pc only can do something every 10-15 sec. I have tried to run the pc in safe mode and all is great there, so i think it's a program or services that don't have it well. So i startet to kill all task in task manager, to see if i can find the problem, but i can't. After killing all the task i could, the lag was still there. I have also run a virus scan with kaspersky, but it found nothing. Do any have any great idea on what i can try more?

I will try out OBS and see if this works thanks for the answer.

Hey. Normal i use shadowplay from nvidia so i can capture the last few minutes af gameplay. It makes it alot easy to edit when i only have the good stuff captured But i really like to have the mic audio and video separate from the recording. So i record the gameplay and the game audio in 1 file and the mic audio in another fil. but still have the ability to only record the last few minutes like shadowplay. Is there anything out there that can do this? i can't find anything. Normal people say i have to record all my mic audio in another program and cut it out from there. But is i game 4-5hours and have to find the right spot and cut the audio i need is alot of work. Hope some of you have a great idea on what i can try

okey so i don't should not change the bclk then. great to know i will stick to the multiplier and core volt and see what i can get Thanks for the info

Hey I'm really bad at OC, i normal just set the multiplier to higher and that's it. But my question is, is 4.5 GHz always the same? Like if i set the multiplier to 45 or if it set the BCLK to 125 and then set the multiplier to 36 ? Will it give the same performance? Will one of them have to use more volt? or will one give more heat? will one of them change other things then just the cpu clock? right now i have a 4960x at 4.4GHz with multiplier set to 44 and core volt at 1.25v I'm really new and don't know anything about OC beside to set the multiplier higher and core volt. So hope some of you can help me, to get some more info
