Profile Information

  • Location
    Chicago, USA
  • Biography
    Not really a gamer (but I enjoy building higher-end computers for fun of it)

    Electrical Engineer (I think in binary and hex more often than I'd like to admit)

    Semi-abashed railroad enthusiast (they employ me, so I keep a low profile)

    Datahoarder (I have spent a single-digit-percent of my annual income on hard drives in the past)

    Java programmer (I don't claim it's the best, but it can do everything I've needed it to do so far)

    Arduino dabbler (actually, more of a fan of the Particle Photon at the moment)

    Chicago transplant (Michigan is home, but Chicago has taken me in)

    Any hard drive will support any file system. There is no hardware correlation.
  2. AbydosOne
    I'm not aware of a (reasonably-priced) USB <-> SAS protocol adapter. Using an external dock with a SATA drive is well within the realm of possibility though.
  3. AbydosOne
    I might be misremembering, but wasn't there a bit of discussion over whether the "service" they provide can be proven to have done anything? Like, how does the subscriber know that a) their personal info has (legitimately) been found, b) that the info holder actually has taken action to remove it, or c) that that removal has a tangible benefit?
  4. AbydosOne
    That board will work with any of the E3-12xx v3 Xeons, if you want to survey those options.
  5. AbydosOne
    Use punctuation once in a while... It's fine. It's only superficial damage.
  6. AbydosOne
    Doesn't matter as V1 and V4 chips aren't compatible in the same motherboards.
  7. AbydosOne
    Depends on how many generations between the processors. IMO, reinstall for every new CPU, but that's not hard and fast.
  8. AbydosOne
    Reinstall Windows, especially if going from Intel to AMD (or vv).
  9. AbydosOne
    How big is the torrent vs how much free space is on the disk?
  10. AbydosOne
    I was under the impression that the two colors were reverse parallel LEDs (one color one polarity, other color other polarity).
  11. AbydosOne
    What happens if you flip the power LED polarity?
  12. AbydosOne
    Ahh, fair, that's the disconnect. Though I know some people don't have great luck with Storage Spaces.
  13. AbydosOne
    I tried to set it up not that long ago and you can't on consumer Windows. You can use a RAID5 array made in Server in Home/Pro, but you can't make a RAID5 in Home/Pro. (Unless you know a way I don't, because I couldn't through Disk Management.)
  14. AbydosOne
    I can't speak to Storage Spaces, but the standard Disk Management RAID-5 is only available on Server builds of Windows.
  15. AbydosOne
    Are you sure they're SATA and not SAS or NMVe/U.2?
