    Help me buy the right 10G networking gear

    Ignoring the comment about 10GbE being stupid and useless as the comment is stupid. I have always stuck to Intel/Dell X520-DA2 NICs as these seem to work with everything out of the box. Did try some Brocade 1020 cards once, which were more trouble than they are worth and when finally up and...

    Fiber or Point-to-Point?

    If you are willing to buy the parts off eBay to go the fibre route then I'd have thought you could get it done much cheaper than wireless. I picked up 30m fibre here in the UK with LC connectors for under £10! Couple of second hand SFP modules for the switches shouldn't be too expensive...

    Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H and M.2 SM951 link width

    Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H and M.2 SM951 link width

    Just built myself a new gaming pc/hackintosh and just curious about the link speed of my M.2 drive, as currently it only connects at x2 which gives me around 750MB/s read/write. Understand this drive is capable of quite a bit more! * Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H * i7-4790K * 4x 8GB Corsair Vengeance *...

    Dell P2715Q / P2415Q (3840x2160p, IPS, sRGB)

    Yep it's an ever so slight graininess, to be honest it's not a major issue (I have just ordered a 2nd P2715Q!) I have been using an iMac and MacBook for the last few years which is almost like looking in a mirror haha

    Dell P2715Q / P2415Q (3840x2160p, IPS, sRGB)

    Using the included display port cable directly to the thunderbolt port on my MacBook, tried HDMI too. Same result.

    Dell P2715Q / P2415Q (3840x2160p, IPS, sRGB)

    My P2715Q has just been delivered and I must say I'm really liking the resolution but something feels a little off. Have it running at 3840x2160 60Hz from my MacBook Pro and the text is incredibly sharp. but areas of lighter colours/white eg Google homepage look a little fuzzy when compared...

    Toshiba Canvio Basic 2TB External 2.5" (HDTB320EK3CA)

    Slightly odd request... does anyone know what the internal drive is inside this enclosure? I want to put the 2TB drive into a small ITX build and then put my spare 500GB drive into this enclosure but I'm concerned that internally they might use some proprietary connector like my 2.5" WD...

    Thunderbolt 4K bandwidth and 10GbE

    Just done some more searching, 4K at 60Hz is 11.94Gbits/sec which leaves me with a fair amount of room for 10GbE. Still feel like I'd be pushing the TB controller to the absolute limit here though.

    Thunderbolt 4K bandwidth and 10GbE

    I'm currently using my old iMac 2011 with a i7 chip, it's fairly quick but my MBP Retina 2014 is lightning fast in comparison (I do quite a bit of CPU intensive work and works out about 60% faster). With this in mind I'm considering buying 2x 4K monitors for use with my MBPr then use this as...

    MacPro Update timing

    I'm currently holding out for 5K TB displays with support on the MacPro then I'll finally drop my 2011 iMac But is looking like it could be end of 2015 or even 2016 :(

    Always check trim is enabled on aftermarket SSD drives!

    It's slightly annoying they disable this as I have the LaCie external thunderbolt SSD which trim is also disabled on!

    Always check trim is enabled on aftermarket SSD drives!

    I disabled the kext signing and trim was enabled after reboots when I first installed Yosemite, not too sure at which point it was disabled again. Without tearing my iMac apart I can't connect the drive to another box to run the Magician software. All I know is performance maxes out around...

    Always check trim is enabled on aftermarket SSD drives!

    Just checking up on my SSD today and was a little shocked it was this bad! When I first installed Yosemite I enabled trim and double checked it was enabled but another update must have disabled it again. Just a heads up to others out there with aftermarket SSDs to check it's enabled :)

    How do you label small cables?

    I have started using clear heat shrink and a printed bit of paper, slightly less convenient than a fancy label printer but costs me a few quid for 5m of heat shrink! :)
