(corrupted OS prevented it from booting, so user thought it was bad) Hmm, ok so more Mac Pro 4,1 2009 "maxxed out". I got a dual tray 4,1 for $300 that I flashed to 5,1, installed 64GB DDR3-1600 and 2x3.33GHz Xeons (6C/12T each). It came with an apple raid card but the battery on it is dead as well as a OWC 128GB SATA SSD. Currently running the latest OS X Mojave with a RX 480 8GB blower, just to keep the style.

This old one is a twin CPU as well...2.26 IIRC (4c...I suppose 8t each, unsure really) How does your Mac handle the latest and greatest OS from Apple? I got Mountain Lion on it to begin with an it was pretty snappy, but El Capitan is slightly less snappy. NOTE: I no longer frequent this site.

I got Mountain Lion on it to begin with an it was pretty snappy, but El Capitan is slightly less snappy. It's very fluid with the OS. I believe by upgrading the graphics card from the 5870 it came with to the RX 480 helped improve the smoothness, also running it at 3440x1440 at 144Hz. I haven't played around with installing past the Apple officially supported OS for it (Mojave) but I'd imagine would work just fine if you use the install packages out there to circumvent Apple preventing installation.

If you check Backblaze yearly reports, Seagate has higher % of failed drives, best really remains HGST enterprise solutions, but I don't have that kind of money, and it's still a worse case scenario in regards to Backblaze, I'm never going to use my drives as hard as they do. Also, at work we have had a lot of NAS and Seagate doesn't have more problems than others, though my work isn't as intensive as Backblaze and we have a MUCH smaller sample size. 5 minutes ago, Radium_Angel said: I do miss the days when consumer-level Seagates had 5 year warranties.

Yup ... that's why I always buy my drives in pair now (regardless of brand), I just mirror them and make sure the important stuff has off-site backups.

I've seen them before pointing towards Seagate having higher failure rates than other brands. I currently have a 1TB WD Blue in my system running for 7 years and at least 10,000 hours on. Works like a charm. I have been considering switching out these drives for 2.5" SATA SSDs for bulk storage/photos as reading off the HDDs are really slow, depending on which file I open.

Posted November 30, 2022 got myself some decent ANC buds. I love the Funk 35s i have but they're a super cheap set that only last a couple of hours before needing a charge at most. If you can't stand the earwax and hair that's included with this picture just revel in the further fact that I've been wearing them another 3 hours since then too With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

If you have doom eternal, let me know what fps you get with the new card. I had an rtx3060 but it had issues and this card seems about equivalent or better in certain scenarios so I'm curious if I can play rtx doom with that card. Have fun with your upgrade!!!

I've got my pair as an upgrade over the Sony WF-1000XM3 in August. The WF-1000XM4 are more comfortable, have even better ANC so are perfect for public Transport, that's where I mainly use them. The Case fits better in my pocket and they don't look so stupid anymore when they're in your Ears. You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile. I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here. If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
