Here's a tip:

Don't compare apples to oranges.

 

[Nathanpete]

Maybe also include paid link to TR 3960X?

Also at least Linus got 8TB instead of just 825GB. God I hope expandable storage on the PS5 isn't going to be too complicated. Like I know there is a verification process, but I hope Sony doesn't make it too hard.

Hmm. The fact this is just an add in card with a bunch of smaller NVME drives on it makes it so much less interesting than I thought.

[Nathanpete]

Also bifurcation is splitting a 16x slot into two 8x lanes, so does it run two internal M.2s side by side within the same 8 lanes, or is there some way in the UEFI to double bifurcate, creating four 4x PCIe 4.0 lanes out of the 16x slot, creating the normal dedicated 4x lanes for each M.2?

It is still a space efficient way to get 4 PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives inside a PC, and it comes with active cooling. I actually think a blower cooler for this kind of card is a really good idea bc it can still be single slot, and they don't need a ton of cooling anyway. Low noise too.

Or you could go with a cheaper platform and get a Sabrent 8TB drive Still plenty fast, makes more sense.

Ofc, and u don't need ThreadRipper, but Linus just really wanted to know he wasn't being beaten by a $500 console. I'm not gonna say bad shit about the card, it is a good idea and there is nothing wrong with it, but both the full length expansion card and the sabrent 8TB drive deserve a lot of compliments. 

[Nathanpete]

How did Linus think he wasn't going to need to upgrade for 3 years. It would be 1 year tops bc he would really want a 3080ti after seeing how it stomps the 2080ti.

I know, semantics, but the screen showed 4x4x4x4 when he set up the bifurcation, so I'm guessing it's 4x2TB drives (also the size of it). So, it should probably be "quadfurcation".

[Trik'Stari]

Four times the price of the PS5.

 

But it has a capacity that will exceed consoles for the next 20 years, because consoles are stupid.

So my takeaway from this video: Linus Sebastian is clinically alergic to ever learning from past mistakes.

not really. the fanboying of a yet  un tested product. reviewd by third party. will solves tons of crap coming from ps fans...

i  rarely post  anything on said console threads that have ps5 in it....

constant copy and past reply with same none verified source.

Yes and no because it means it is compatible with many existing SSDs and mostly standard. I'd expect many bugs if they created an entirely new solution.

Linus ommited the latency argument regarding PS5, which means he basically did the same thing he had done on WAN show except for mixing Mr Sweeney into it. I'd also love to see an actual I/O with compression tests because PS5 is said to peak around 22GB/s reading compressed data. I think game files without cutscenes should be a good benchmark of what this solution is capable of. I mean, I'd love to see a proof that PC is going to be at the performance level PS5 claims to be, but this is not it.

for most TRX40 boards, the main mode is to split to x4x4x4x4. but going to your point of having an alternate divisor (x8x8 in most actual cases) it'll have to be up to the OEMs to implement this in BIOS

Hmm I thought the default way to split would be x8x8 by definition, but ok.

I have raid nvme but I have 2 problems 1 my computer doesn’t restart, after restarting it will stuck in black screen I have to restart manually 2- I don’t get this much speed on read my maximum read speed is 11gb any idea?

Oh, I wasn't reffering to that. I was talking about the cavalcade of goofs building the machine.

 

In this video alone we have:

• Failing to test components before fitting your cooling.
• (Nearly) Dropping the whole rig.
• Installing things ass-backwards.
• Turning on the pump when a loop is open and full of water. Twice.

Well, this is an LTT video after all.

ah..

still those fan boy are a bit crazy.

whats a good RGB case graphics card and does it need to be water cooled or a fan
