    Samsung PM983

    Thanks for all the info - as of now I'm holding off on the PM983. My MB needs an adapter card to hold the NF1 form factor - and the cost of the adapter card drives up the per GB price on the drive. So, Black Friday is coming......need a nice 2TB NVMe at a good price.

    Samsung PM983

    Your last statement hit it- cheaper per GB. I've found some that are much cheaper that the 970 EVOs. Honestly, cache or no cache, these drives are so fast it's mind boggling. I remember when I thought 7200 at RAID0 was fast. I'll reply back if I build it.

    Samsung PM983

    Thanks - that's the details I was missing. HF always delivers! I'm wondering how these will perform in my "desktop" type ESXi server build. Using a Dell 7060 i7 with a crap load of memory to run a bunch of VMs for various household servers, NAS, streaming media, Blue Iris, Ubuntu testing, etc...

    Antec Truepower 750 won't boot

    Ok - now it goes from strange to really friggin weird. I picked in a brand new Antec 850 from BB last night and tried it. Same thing. Power flashes on for a sec and turns off. Won't boot. Pulled out an even older Antec 430, and yes system booted right up.

    Antec Truepower 750 won't boot

    I've had a Truepower 750 running for 3-4 years on a Asus P6T i7 rig just fine. Now it won't boot. Powers on, then off instantly. Switched PSUs and the rig boots fine. Tested the PSU with a Antec digital PSU tester and the voltages are just fine. Tried the PSU again back in the rig, won't...

    PSU sizing and efficiency

    Looking at the ratings curves for efficiency vs load, I wonder if a 850 would produce less heat than a 650, and draw less power? Suppose my rig draws a steady 400 watts doing some activity. A 400w Gold PSU would be at nearly 100% and lower efficiency than a 800w Gold PSU running at 50% load...

    Sata dock with IDE

    I'm looking for a SATA docking station with a IDE port in the front. But, I want the interface to my computer to be eSATA. Is that possible? All I see that have a IDE port at USB only. Guess USB 3.0 will have to do. eSATA is so handy.

    HDD recovery

    Tried the freezer trick - no help. The sound samples say it is a "bad head". That sounds about the closest. I'll try another machine with a good PSU.
