Experiences with non-techies

[bmxtricky5]

You have to change that from " Everyone, LITELRALLY EVERYONE" to 'ALMOST(virtually, nearly etc) EVERYONE'. As there is PROBABLY a mac user out there that does know .

I have a Mac and I know that does that count? Lol also I dont use it anymore though..

" Alien Ware are the best PCs on the market, even custom PCs cant beat it"

That doesn't explain using different brands.

Maybe one brand was most cost effective at one size another at the other.  Hence one brand at 2TB and another at 1TB.

 

You can get a 120GB SSD made by a reputable brand from a reputable seller for under 100 USD. As I said, he could have gained that amount by not being stupid about CPU choice.

 He had an SSD of 120GB (Sandisk) his scratch disk was of 2X 1TB.  A2TB SSD would be a fortune

 

Three storage 'solutions'

1) An SSD of 120 GB ------------- (OS and ADOBE)

2) 2X2TB HDDs in RAID 0 --------- (Media files)

3) 2X1TB HDDs in RAID 0 -------- (Scratch disk

What?

 What is yor reasoning/thoughts behind asking for no more font posts

Why is his media disk the same size as his scratch disk? It looks like he just has more space for media but just calls it a "scratch disk" to sound relevant.

 

Edit: The scratch disk is smaller, but he makes no effort to buy fast or high durability drives. And his storage should be RAID 1 or 5/6.

It's not ! 2X2 is not the same as 2X1.

Adobe calls it a scratch disk as well (seemingly an editing term), it needs to ne nominated..  He explains why media and scratch files are on different disks.

 

Once again, it is an EDITING rig NOT a gaming one.

 

 

I didn't feel like watching a 90 minute video,

Maybe you should watch it.  He explains his reasoning behind using each item .  Maybe you should listen to and understand his reasoning before commenting that he made the wrong choices.

 

I have no problem with someone having a different opinion to someone else PROVIDED they know why the other person holds that opinion.

You made your post well after my edit saying they aren't the same size.

 

A scratch disk is a place where the program puts raw data that is being used for resources. The faster the better. Throwing in two more 7200RPM drives is something a casual editor would do, not something you'd see on a build made for an editor.

 

If I felt this was a gaming rig I would not have considered any more than a single 120GB SSD and a single platter drive. And I certainly would not have increased the RAM or toned down the CPU to make room in the budget for better storage.

 

I'm not gonna watch his feature length movie on why he chose parts for a computer. If he wrote up an essay, I'd read it, but there is no reason why a video about such a computer would be 90 minutes.

He explains why he doesn't use RAID 1 and doesn't really like 5 but as you are unwilling to watch his video you wont know that

 

It is that length because  he goes to great lengths to explain his reasoning(his final choices may well be different to others but at least he has thought about it)  The actual build is 5~10 minutes.

 

No point in talking to the willfully ignorant.

[RazeG3SG1]

Not sure if this counts...

A relatively well to do friend bought a PC from Origin with LGA 2011 and 3 TITANs in SLI together with custom water cooling which is the most expensive configuration available

Total costs including shipping and goods and sevices tax costs more than 10000 dollars.

I asked him why does he need such a powerful RIG. He said that he don't care as long as it is much more powerful than Alienware or ROG prebuilts. I facepalmed as he only games on it and does nothing productive at all to justify the costs!

[steffen_anywhere]

I'm pretty sure everyone has done this before: When submitting an assignment at school, you accidentally put the shortcut on the USB flash drive, not the actual document file. 

 

At our school, where we basically do everything electronically, that doesn't work with most teachers. People try tho LOL.

I'd be happy to read a script of the video or read a written article or essay he has written on the matter.

In my computer class we learned how to use Word and Excel in addition to HTML, the teacher let me play with his Socket 7 rig in the back of the room while the class struggled to use Word.

my teacher let me and a couple of friends mess around with an original apple macintosh, lets just say it was very cool, easily the best ICT class ever

Exactly.

 

On topic (ERMAGHERD SOMEONE ON TOPIC) I was in the Terminal on my netbook and the kid next to me thought I was hacking his iPhone, since there was a lowercase i by itself for what I was doing.

Isn't that the same mentality as "My Razer Mamba makes me headshot more noobs"?

 

It's just general ignorance - he doesn't know what's inside a computer and a little bit of marketing with some 'ok' components gives a placebo effect.

 

Also, he sounds a combination of high and tired.

Sounds more like a lack of voice projection. Even with a mic, lack of projection can result in a mumbling like effect and a reduction in range that makes it hard to decipher words.

I asked a girl to predict how many members a tech forum (LTT) would have, she said 10. We have 75,000.

Nobody in my school knows what a forum is. Someone thought LTT was a blog.
