Tried the backup RAID controller, same problem. Going to install the windows and see if the last update made any changes.

I haven't tried that yet. But for the last two years, they have been in the exact config and was working fine. The only change that happened is that the PC was off for two full weeks. I can try that out and see how that works. Also thinking of swapping out the RAID controller with the backup...

Hello everyone, Hope you are well. I am having this strange issue and thinking this might be power related. So everything was working fine up until two weeks ago, when I turned the PC off and went on holiday. I came back two weeks after, and PC is working fine normally, no issues. But every...

RX100 III or IV if you want a pocket solution, or a Panasonic GX7 with 12-35mm would be a small travel camera (expensive though). Sony A6000 is not bad with kit lens and will do if you do not need a fast aperture lens.

Bought this a week ago for portraits: Nikon 200mm f/2.0 VR II

I think it is worth it. FZ200 sensor is very small compared to FZ1000, even though FZ1000 is only 2.8 at wide angle, it is still a larger sensor, and will produce better quality images than the FZ200. DoF would be nicer too :) It is very quick in focus, I have used one briefly and I liked it...

Hi, That is a very fast SSD. I can tell you what I know, here it goes: Windows 7 had a issue with scandisk where it eats up memory and ultimately causes issues. Use HD Tune or WD lifeguard diagnostics or something similar to check the drive. I had similar issues with Chkdsk too. Trim...

I need 8 when it comes out :)

I have many different 4TB models, and I found Seagate NAS drive to be the one with the lowest temperature and it is faster than the WD Red drives. But if you are thinking of reliability, rather than looking for a low rpm drive, maybe get a drive which are built to be more reliable such as a WD...

I am using the Plextor 256GB M6e and it is quite fast. I can notice a slight improvement over my Samsung 840 Pro. I did not go for the Samsung one as some user reported it gets quite hot, and also it does not have an AHCI BIOS and causes a little issue when trying to set it as boot drive...

Hi yeah I bought the software. Had a copy from WD too....but it was a basic version, and didn't have many features, so I decided to buy it. But you will be doing a simple clone so should be fine.

Yeah I was using CPU-Z to monitor. Also checked with the AIDA64 gadget, which is also not very accurate and lags.

Thanks a lot mate, this I was not so sure of, but now this chart helps. I was a little bit worried.

Thanks I will look at it again, but from the chart above it seems like everything is in order.

Hello everyone, Hope you are well. I was wondering if anyone else is having this same issue. My new build i7 5960X and ASUS X99 Deluxe is working fine, except the turbo boost never reaches the advertised 3.50GHz. I tried loading the CPU with single threaded, multi-threaded or custom...

I tried it and it works, I used Acronis true image 2014 to clone a RAID0 SSD to another SSD. To the OS the drive is just a drive, regardless of the physical layer underneath.

It is better to use a dedicated hardware RAID controller. They usually have a RAID-On-Chip CPU and Onboard memory to process necessary calculations, improved performance by using the onboard cache, can protect data when using with backup battery etc. And mostly, they deploy automatic patrol...

I had this issue too where some of the USB 3.0 ports didn't detect my card reader and portable hard drives, and the XHCI was set to enabled in BIOS. I rebooted, went to UEFI and changed it to Smart Auto or something and now all the ports are working. Don't know if its that settings, but the USBs...

+1 Upgraded from a 2 years old 840 Pro, the benchmark shows it is definitely faster, but for a windows drive and applications, I don't notice any improvement over a 840 Pro.

Do you have any issues with the X99 board to detect the SSD? I heard it is not as easy as working a Plextor M.2 SSD which works straightaway because of a AHCI BIOS. Also does the surround gets hot a lot? I heard it gets very very hot. Thanks a lot in advance.
