have a nice day

frosty orbit
#

now who was saying that nvme is a storage format

olive wadi
#

vintageracer 😳

frosty orbit
#

we're gonna have to go and tell him hes right

#

HECK

olive wadi
#

it's like fat32 bro

#

or ntfs

#

or exfat

#

nvme bro

#

new very manly extensions

frosty orbit
#

waitf wtf does this even mean

olive wadi
#

wait

#

is he saying hes going to go learn more

#

or is he mocking me

#

and telling me to go learn more

frosty orbit
#

i think the latter

olive wadi
#

whats ladders have to do with computers

#

is it because of 3d nand

frosty orbit
#

idunno

#

probably

olive wadi
#

because its vertical and kind of looks like a ladder

frosty orbit
#

its stacked

olive wadi
#

stacked with isolation layers?

#

??????

#

nand!?

frosty orbit
#

NANI??

olive wadi
#

NOR

#

NAND

#

metal gear?!

frosty orbit
#

XNOR??

olive wadi
#

THREE D CROSS POINT1?

frosty orbit
#

yo when is mark cerny gonna invent the XNOR ssd

#

unlucky

frosty orbit
olive wadi
#

3dxpoint i sleep

frosty orbit
#

sk hynix bought intel nand biz right

#

and sk hynix has 4d nand

olive wadi
#

2dxpoint

#

bro

frosty orbit
#

and intel only had 3d xpoint

olive wadi
#

its not actually 4d

frosty orbit
#

BRO HOLY

#

BRO

olive wadi
#

i explained this t-

frosty orbit
#

4D XPOINT

olive wadi
#

4dxpoint1?

frosty orbit
#

BROOO

olive wadi
#

!!?!?!!?

frosty orbit
#

????

olive wadi
#

????/

#

profit?

frosty orbit
#

mr. tallis will be pooping his panties when he sees this

#

i guarantee u

upper quiver
#

ill bet your DMs look nearly identical to whats happening here

olive wadi
#

is it just 3dxpoint but with the peripheral circuitry moved under the block?

#

@upper quiver check dms

upper quiver
#

i have dms that look like that as well

olive wadi
#

or rather

#

ireviewssds4urmum

#

also

#

who is mr tallis

frosty orbit
#

you dont know mr tallis?

#

im never speaking to u again

#

huge disappointment

#

mr. lal shimpi will hear about this

olive wadi
#

no im not a furry like you

frosty orbit
#

im calling tim apple right now

olive wadi
#

tim apple

frosty orbit
#

RIGHT NOW

olive wadi
#

right

#

they always say

#

put under the cell

minor sun
#

what the heck is going on here

olive wadi
#

rbo its CTF based ssd tech bro

frosty orbit
#

yeah rbo

minor sun
#

what

frosty orbit
#

even surprised me

#

aint that right windshield wiper

olive wadi
#

puc technology

frosty orbit
#

yeah

olive wadi
#

PERIPHERAL UNDER CELL

#

but

#

that's more than a cell

#

i dont get it

#

thats like

#

a few cells

frosty orbit
#

u know how i make that joke about ssds as hockey pucls

#

now u can use ur ssd as a hockey puc bro

olive wadi
#

does the peripheral cirtcuitry have source line

#

?!?/!/!?!1

#

source line?????

frosty orbit
#

bro

#

Good

#

L O W E R

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

no dude i just got it

olive wadi
#

is the peripheral circuitry moved under each cell

#

is that what this is saying

#

or is it referring to something more macro

#

as a cell

frosty orbit
#

thats smart

olive wadi
#

smart?

#

SMART?

frosty orbit
#

SORRY

#

i meant samrt

#

not smart

#

please forgive me 🥺

olive wadi
#

:)

#

aegis

#

real crap tho

frosty orbit
#

PLEASE

olive wadi
#

do they actually mean thats under separate cells

#

or is it just like

frosty orbit
#

anything but 20b/1K BCH

olive wadi
#

a column of cells

frosty orbit
#

FATHER NO

olive wadi
#

or a stack

#

whatever you call it

frosty orbit
#

its supposed to be cells

olive wadi
#

so

frosty orbit
#

they just say "cell" for generic

olive wadi
#

ah

#

gotchya

frosty orbit
#

real talk tho poopity

#

im working on my controller comp

olive wadi
#

controller cope?

#

you're working on your in house ssd controller?

frosty orbit
#

compilation

olive wadi
#

toshiba wont get back to me about ordering uh

frosty orbit
#

you nincompoopity

olive wadi
#

96 layer flash

#

for my own ssd

frosty orbit
#

stop trying to order TC58NC1201GSTs

#

i already told you they taste bad

#

SM2258 is the only good tasting controller

olive wadi
#

so it cant be nand gate anymore

frosty orbit
#

international wear leveling adds so much flavor

olive wadi
#

no more nand

#

gate is gone

#

wait

#

aegis

frosty orbit
#

pogger

#

what

olive wadi
#

does 3d nand forego fgmos and use ctf

frosty orbit
#

can use either

olive wadi
#

hmmm

#

what's like

#

more common

#

now

#

also does ctf work like the same

frosty orbit
#

ctf

olive wadi
#

because it looks like it does

frosty orbit
#

ctf is still the same concept

#

still uses FGMOS

#

but in a different arrangement

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

its how you arrange the transistors

#

and how you share FG/CG silicon

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

no

#

this is not deviating from nand

#

you silly goose

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

😳

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

OH GOD OH FUC

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

my bad

#

i mean

olive wadi
#

aight

#

so

frosty orbit
#

OH GOD OH PuC

olive wadi
#

like

#

when we charge charge trapping layer

#

or

#

"floating gate"

#

right

frosty orbit
#

yeah bro

#

bro

olive wadi
#

do electron not come from the source

#

bro

#

or it come from the drain

frosty orbit
#

brooo

olive wadi
#

because like

#

drain goes towards the ground no?

frosty orbit
#

it do be like that the way that it do in the stuff with the things bro

olive wadi
#

bro so like it do come from the drain or the source bro

frosty orbit
#

that it do

olive wadi
#

what

#

which one

frosty orbit
#

yes

olive wadi
#

so both

#

ok but wher do the electron come from if you are the drain

#

like

#

you just got ground

frosty orbit
#

brooooooo

#

btw just fyi

#

any time you look at FGMOS transistor diagrams in isolation

#

they often do not use the same voltages/configs/physical shapes/terminals that NAND does

frosty orbit
#

its good for understanding the concept of FGMOS though

olive wadi
#

bro

frosty orbit
#

and i think u have learned enough of the basic concept

#

the rest is whatever

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

the specifics dont matter that much

#

the rest is iteration

#

yeah thats how modern nand looks

olive wadi
#

looks like funny cylinders

frosty orbit
#

mhm

#

funny rocket popsicles

#

hehehoho

olive wadi
#

is one of those funny popsicles a page

frosty orbit
#

no sir

#

one of the WLs is a page

olive wadi
#

whoa

#

a word line is a page

frosty orbit
#

except they made the WLs planar for some reason

#

wait no

#

im dumb

frosty orbit
#

sometimes in diagrams they'll have BLs as horizontal and WL as vertical and vice versa

#

yeah thats how modern nand looks

#

and in fact that pyramid structure is atually macro enough that u can see it if you open a pakage

#

my fingers are so cold that im missing keystrokes on these navies man

olive wadi
#

real poop

#

show picture of pyramid pls

frosty orbit
#

ok

olive wadi
#

so it drops its memories in holes

#

and then picks them up alater when it needs them

frosty orbit
#

dude thats why 3d xpoint is smart

#

its like that one movie holes

#

where they gotta dig holes

#

and then guy eats onions

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

kinda bad picture

olive wadi
#

that line going ertically

frosty orbit
#

ill take a broken ssd and get rid of the outer package or smth

olive wadi
#

is that a page

frosty orbit
#

hold on lemme open the big version

olive wadi
#

i think this is a page

#

dude its bit addressible i swear

frosty orbit
#

page??

#

brother this is 3d xpoint

#

wait

#

im stupid

#

im actually stupid

#

hahahaha

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

ive been looking at too many diagrams man

#

i gotta yeet myself

olive wadi
#

aegis: 3dxpoint is not nand

#

also aegis: that is 3dxpoint

#

aegis do you have a good diagram of 3dxpoint

frosty orbit
#

sry im actually gonna go yeet myself

#

brb

olive wadi
#

that isnt just intels marketting

frosty orbit
#

nopers

#

there are some TEM/SEM images in the wild

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

they're on techinsights

#

gotta pay or look for PR

olive wadi
#

😱

frosty orbit
#

btw are u gonna be on gta

#

i think me and cloud and some dude from bapo are on

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

lol

olive wadi
#

real

frosty orbit
#

get some sleep wiper man

frosty orbit
#

tomorrow i will inject more 12v ocp and nand and op amps into your brain

olive wadi
frosty orbit
#

totally wacky and quirky my dude

#

btw you can see BL/WL there

#

those wavy things are the WL wrapping around FG

olive wadi
#

WL wrap around CG my dude

frosty orbit
#

FG and CG

#

u can see both there

#

especially in the IMFT nand

olive wadi
#

hm i seee

#

very cool yes

#

Pro tip: buy used hard drives

heavy dagger
#

@radiant root any reasoning on that? Does it depend on purpose?

I bought a used Ironwolf a while back, and while it is going strong I feel like the extra $10 might have been worth it

radiant root
heavy dagger
#

Yup ok wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something ha

red jay
#

Guys I screwed down my m.2 but the m.2 doesn’t look straight

candid mural
#

Standoff?

heavy dagger
#

Got my first easystore to shuck and have 2 questions on it.

  1. Should I check the easystore in any way before ripping out the drive to ensure it is what I want?
  2. Is there a good guide for inserting it into unraid, replacing the current parity drive and freeing that other drive up for storage?
minor sun
#

@untold grove shucking person, what do you have to say

keen lantern
#

Any reason that I would need a Raid controller if I don't plan on using raid for the time being? Would assume I can just purchace one later and throw it in if needed.

untold grove
#

and spaceinvader prolly has something for unraid

heavy dagger
#

So those are disk checks for it. Any red flags I should look for?

untold grove
#

just complete sector check

how can i transfer windows from my hdd to ssd
or format my hdd and install my stuff in ssd

tawdry raft
#

what is it with newegg always advertising the 2tb seagate barracuda as being on slae when its still msrp

untold grove
#

newegg does fake sales all the time lul

#

i mean amazon does it too

#

so its not their fault

#

its just retail baby

#

either way dont buy it its a garbage tier drive @tawdry raft

tawdry raft
#

ik its not rn but it just is "on sale" all the time

dusk turtle
#

Pls don't that drive

#

Terrible failure rate

tawdry raft
#

what drive would you recommend

dusk turtle
#

WD blue/black or Toshiba

radiant root
#

storage devices are a jojo reference to joseph joestar remembering things

steel wadi
#

cuz i have one

dusk turtle
#

NOt recommended if you're buying new

#

The failure rate is 3-4x that of other drives

steel wadi
#

bruh

#

i bought that one

#

also my windows crashes when i clean installed it

#

wtf can i do

dusk turtle
#

Crashes probably aren't the drive

#

It's proably drivers

steel wadi
#

the thing is

#

when i open edge it crashes

#

edge's logo dosent even show up

#

its like corrupted idk

#

im updating windows rn

dusk turtle
#

It could be anything TBH, event viewer can help point out what it is

steel wadi
#

uh

#

im downloading nvidia drivers

#

and edge says its a dangerous file

#

im on the official page

dusk turtle
#

oof

#

ditch edge

#

use Chrome

untold grove
#

they use the same heuristics

steel wadi
#

i cant even download drivers

#

i cant download chrome without my pc crashing

#

like

#

i clean installed windows

#

and it crashes out of nowhere

olive wadi
#

convince me that seagate barracuda hate isnt just lol seagate bad meme

untold grove

smr

olive wadi
tawdry raft
#

is the barracuda a bad choice, im always looking for input

untold grove
#

yes

thick mulch
#

I like the barracuda hard drives

#

The ssds are eeh

#

But you can find some good deals on barracuda HDDs

untold grove
#

ur wrong then

#

drives r trash

#

ssds are the only good thing with the barracuda name

olive wadi
#

im sure you can explain SIR how the ssds are MEH

olive wadi
untold grove
#

because drives dont exist in a vacuum

#

and am not a sir

#

thanks

olive wadi
#

sir is gender neutral but i will refrain from calling you sir

#

also

#

who would put their hard drive in a vacuum

#

one would assume they would put it in a computer

#

🥴

thick mulch
#

They are just not outstanding value

#

I much more trust a samsung ssd

olive wadi
#

someone who knows nothing about SSDs

thick mulch
#

Well

#

Your not WRONG

untold grove
#

i like samsung drives but they arent the endgame brand

#

theyre very nice tho

thick mulch
#

But i know speeds and value

olive wadi
#

there is no endgame brand

#

samsung drives

i feel like hynix close

p31 gold is entering pro-sumer territory

i just know my samsung drives have FAT tbw and are fine

olive wadi
#

omg

#

tbw is always like

#

not a meaningful metric

#

600tbw drives will last like 4000tbw

thick mulch
#

Team are my bois too

untold grove
#

no i mean

#

actual tbw

#

dummy

#

not ratings

#

ratings are useless

olive wadi

actual tbw wise most drives that are using the same flash are going to be in the same range

what drive

untold grove
#

i forgot but it was like

#

oem 970 or 960

#

one of the 2

olive wadi
#

meh

#

you'll see the same with other drives

#

non garbo flash+non garbo controller=drive that will last in the PB

#

although you're a weirdo who actually kills drives with how much you write to them so

#

i 😴

#

go buy a 970 pro or something with muh 2 bit MLC

#

or 3dxpoint

#

🥴

untold grove
#

i have a 960 pro looking

#

is a cute drive

olive wadi

#

the one i got 3.5 on was tlc

olive wadi
#

my main ssd is a phison e16 drive lol

#

i got two vms running on my wd blue 3d right now and it's doing fine

#

gonna look eventually into adding an nvme drive for virtual machines

#

something like a 2tb pilot-E or MP34 maybe

#

or CS3030

#

maybe p31 gold when 2tb comes out

untold grove
#

would be fun

olive wadi
#

isnt one of the points of 4d nand and moving to a PUC design to make it more dense

#

4tb p31 gold when

plush crag
#

Seeing you and aegis simp over the p31 makes me want to pick some of them up

untold grove
#

wtf what abt me

plush crag
upper quiver
olive wadi
#

its got 4d nand bro

#

thats like

one more d's than 3d bro

Can't tell if meming, I don't follow any of this nearly to the level you or aegis do

bitter vault
#

is samsung 970 evo plus vnand ssd able to run on RAID?

mild sluice
bitter vault
#

sorry imma big time novice lul

blazing musk
#

You can RAID literally anything. They don't even technically need to be multiple of the same drive.

#

You could software RAID a SSD with a HDD but why would you do that except as proof that you can

fading coral

if your storage aint got rgb then its not worth buying

#

In a workstation evironment, should I use a BBWC or a FBWC backup on a RAID card?

heavy dagger
#

Anyone know what to do with a shucked drive to get it ready to plug into an unraid server?

#

like do I need to wipe it first or should I just be able to plug it in and be good to go

lyric aspen
#

Has anyone here had any issues with a hard drive?

minor sun
#

What is the question

lyric aspen
#

I been trying to fix a hard drive but it's an SSD and there might be some other drives that may need to be fixed I been kinda stuck with it on being able to get them fixed

dusk turtle
#

Fix an SSD?

#

What's wrong with it?

minor sun
#

I'm confused

#

SSHD?

lyric aspen
#

Bsod

dusk turtle
#

What BSOD?

minor sun
#

And are you sure the drive is the issue?

dusk turtle
#

file name/number?

lyric aspen
#

Yes but I don't have them with me right now

#

I only have one SSD

dusk turtle
#

most likely it's not a drive issue but rather a driver issue

lyric aspen
#

It's a windows 10 bug

dusk turtle
#

Need to know the BSOD code and file name if possible

#

MOst likely software

lyric aspen
#

I will try to get it right now I'm not at home to do anything right now

minor sun
#

chkdsk?

#

There was a chkdsk bug but

red jay
#

Uh i keep getting blue screened saying your pc did not start correctly after installing intel optane memory

#

Do I have to turn on intel rapid storage technology to have it working or no

red jay
#

I fixed that but then I was installing the setup for intel optane and it said to update your bios so then I did, then I saved and exited and it kept bringing me back to the bios and it said it found no bootable devices

#

It found my hard drive but it shows no bootable devices

minor sun
#

Also, optane just seems weird

late vector
#

mitsubishi???

#

the heck

olive wadi
#

where random-access is required over read/write speed

minor sun
#

Oh yea it talked about EEPROM vs EPROM I think it was?

olive wadi
#

like firmware on a piece of machinery

minor sun
#

For accessing single sections?

olive wadi
#

uuh that's just about read only memory stuff

#

the main difference between nand and nor is that nor is bit addressible

minor sun
#

Yea I thought that was the difference between EPROM and EEPROM

#

Being bit accessable

olive wadi
#

what

#

i dont even know the difference between those two

#

thats boring

minor sun
#

Unless I was reading the wrong section and thought it was about EPROM against EEPROM

olive wadi
#

lol that doesnt have anything to do with nor vs nand im pretty sure

#

the only difference between the acronyms seems to be that one is eraseable, and one is electrically eraseable

minor sun
olive wadi
#

dont know dont care

minor sun
#

That I was reading

olive wadi
minor sun
#

Trying to figure out what was wrong with me and why I was reading it

olive wadi
#

nor and nand both use the same cells

#

which are either fgmos or ctf

#

which really are both the same thing but using different materials

#

this must be old if they say that nor is used more

#

it might be used more???, but not in storage devices

#

for firmware and other things that could benefit more from random access performance over read/write performance sure

#

nand flash is better for actual storage drives since we're going to be addressing big chunks of data at once anyways, and it's cheaper to implement scaleability wise

#

one of the main reasons why it's cheaper and easier to impliment scaleability wise is simply because the cells are much closer together when compared to NOR

minor sun
#

Yea

#

Says 1997 at the bottom lol

for branding purposes

#

Also, in addition to that m.2 do i go with a 1tb 7200rpm hdd for $45 or a 2tb 5400rpm hdd for $66

idk ask someone who knows about hard drives lol

Should I get hdd or ssd

#

Tell pweas

olive wadi
red jay
#

i wanna get a 4 tb

untold grove
#

eww seagate

untold grove
red jay
#

Hmm Anymore RECOMMENDATIONS?

untold grove
#

for every 500gb of ssd you have id say 2tb of hdd is good

#

so 1tb ssd + 4tb hdd

red jay
#

Hmm Pretty good plan

#

I think I should get SSD 500gb 1tb or 2tb+500gB Hdd

#

But thanks for the recommendation I really apreciate it 😄

fickle lotus
#

is anyone there?

#

is the intel 665p 1tb priced at 89$ a good deal?

#

is it better than the helix-L mp33 1tb ssd?

#

both are nvme

#

anyone know?

#

please?

#

somebody there???????

blazing musk
#

@fickle lotus That Intel is not the best deal but it is cheaper than average, and a decent drive to boot. Definitely Intel over Mushkin.

minor sun
#

what

#

@blazing musk why?

#

I'd say Helix-L and Intel are basically the same in terms of performance

#

What is master boot record anyways?

upper quiver
#

its all the same for you regardless of what you picked tho, so if you already picked MBR then it doesnt matter

upper quiver
candid mural
#

okay

upper quiver
#

the MBR holds partitioning data for the disk

#

its been replaced by the GPT format

candid mural
#

And i have a problem with my 970 evo plus

upper quiver
#

they both work pretty much the same for most people

candid mural
#

I wanted to do it as a boot drive

#

but it isn't showing as a boot drive

upper quiver
#

you have to install windows to it

candid mural
#

I installed windows on it

upper quiver
#

what other drives are in the system

candid mural
#

i unpluged my other sdd

upper quiver
#

and you replugged it in after installing windows?

candid mural
#

i tried both

#

plug it when windows is install and other way

#

tried it "9" hours

upper quiver
#

plug both storage devices into the system, disable CSM in the bios, boot from your windows install USB

candid mural
#

CSM?

upper quiver
#

compatibility support module

candid mural
#

ah its the thing with UEFI ?

upper quiver
#

yeah, p much

candid mural
#

tried that too : /

upper quiver
#

is it still disabled?

candid mural
#

now idk

#

i installed windows on my sata ssd

upper quiver
candid mural
#

now i don't have it

upper quiver
#

dang

candid mural
#

but i tried to format everything

#

is there like a driver for that thing?

#

i think i read it somewhere

upper quiver
#

i mean

#

what motherboard do you have

#

was it made within the last like, 5 years?

candid mural
#

b450 Tomahawk max

#

idk

upper quiver
#

yeah, you dont need no drivers

#

that boards not even 2 years old

candid mural
#

could it be that my bios is a bit old?

upper quiver
#

no

my bios is from 22.04.2020 and the newest is 12.10.2020

upper quiver
#

nothing wrong with updating it, just make sure you get the right bios for the cpu you have installed

#

but it wont fix your issue

candid mural
#

right bios for the cpu?

upper quiver
#

its a midrange b450 board

#

due to bios rom size limitations, one bios cant support all the compatible cpu options

#

so there are many bios options that support specific cpus

candid mural
#

i have a r5 3600

#

but how do i know what bios i need?

upper quiver
#

the cpu compatibility sheet will tell you

candid mural
#

on their webside?

upper quiver
#

nope

candid mural
#

where did you find it?

upper quiver
#

i forgot, this is a MAX board

#

they have larger bios flash chips

#

so you can actually just get the latest one lmao

#

i would totally suggest against the beta option tho

candid mural
upper quiver
#

oh

#

thats here

#

okay thx

but you should get the 7C02v39

Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to connect to my hard drive? It seems i'm only reading my SSD

upper quiver
#

new HDD?

#

or has it worked before

formal iris
#

I bought it prebuilt. I'm just now noticing it hasn't been on since I got it like 2 wednesdays ago. i've already checked the cords but it all seem in order. Plus my computer seems to recognize it but doesn't show up for storage

upper quiver
#

so the drive appears in the BIOS?

#

wdym by "my computer seems to recognize it"

#

you mean like in device manager?

formal iris
#

Idk if I see it in device manager, i was gonna share a pic but forgot the rules. It shows up in Disk Management

upper quiver
#

thats good

formal iris
#

Yes!

upper quiver
#

or is the top bar black instead of blue

formal iris
#

it's blue

upper quiver
#

does it have a drive letter?

formal iris
#

no

upper quiver
#

right click it

#

change drive letter and paths

formal iris
#

I can't? It seems it just says delete volume?

upper quiver
#

hmmm

#

DM me a pic of your disk man

#

stupid prebuilts

#

delete all 3 of those partitions on disk 1

formal iris
#

done

upper quiver
#

now there should only be one box with a black bar

#

right click, create new volume

formal iris
#

Looks like that worked!

#

thank! I'm still learning the hardware stuff... I bought it prebuilt because I'm to afraid to build my own... Just so I have further knowledge. What happened?

red jay
#

should i make a backup incase something happens when changing my sata mode?

upper quiver
#

whatever company you bought the system from messed up

#

they didnt properly format the drive

upper quiver
formal iris
#

ah! Thank you very much. Now I just got to wait for the second hard drive to get here... whenever that is

red jay
#

yea

upper quiver
#

then dont do it

#

it will make your os unbootable

red jay
#

oh

upper quiver
#

well

#

are you talking going from AHCI to RAID?

red jay
#

im trying to change it to the optane sata mode because i installed intel optane memory yesterday

upper quiver
#

or legacy to AHCI?

#

oh

#

dont worry about backing anything up when you make bios changes

#

you can always just change them back

#

but as for how to setup an optane cache, i have no clue

red jay
#

ok because someone told me i should

upper quiver
#

yeah its really tricky

red jay
#

yea i didnt know either i just searched up or asked a lot of people

#

yesterday i got so confused because i couldnt boot into windows

#

i just had to enable csm

upper quiver
#

csm is annoying lol

red jay
#

what is csm anyways lol

upper quiver
#

compatibility support module

#

it deals with booting legacy operating systems on UEFI based systems

red jay
#

oh ok

upper quiver
#

legacy is dead, csm is annoying, its best to just run windows 10 in UEFI mode

#

but that requires you to install windows 10 in UEFI mode

red jay
#

whats the difference between legacy and uefi lmao

So i have an interesting situation that I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on. I live in an rv and I'm currently building my first pc. Is there a potential for issues with rocking and movement with a hard drive while off or running? Nothing is super stable like a house so I'm concerned that a good bumb or rock from a gust of wind could damage a hard drive.

blazing musk
#

When it's off, you don't need to worry much about shock damage like that.
If it's on there's potential for skipping if it's got a HDD

blissful night
#

It would most likely be fine, but you could just go all SSD

stone patio
#

Thats what I'm thinking about I'm just not sure if i want to pay more than twice the price for half the capacity

#

I already have a 250gb boot ssd, so I'm thinking just a 1tb ssd, maybe an m.2 of i find one on sale

#

I see the patriot vpn100 m.2 is going to be one of neweggs big deals tomorrow, its normal $150

#

Don't make pcie vs sata a selling point. There's little real world difference unless you're doing large transfers.

olive wadi
blazing musk
#

Yeah but if you found 2 comparable drives and the sata was $5 cheaper I'd go for the sata

olive wadi
#

nah $5 worth it, even if the difference isn't tangible

#

arguably right now the non garbage sata drives cost more

Hey hey hey, looking for a real cheap 240 gig minimum M.2 NVME drive. m.2 interface itself is capped at 20Gbps maximum transfer rate

It’s a purpose built server. Everything is being stored to ram. I’ve got to fit windows and some rm software but that’s about it. If I ever need to backup what’s running without overwriting the backups on the m.2, I can just add some HDDs.

untold grove

why are you using a ramdisk

How much RAM does the system have?

untold grove

im gonna guess like 64 or 128

#

@frosty condor whatcha usin it for

olive wadi
#

@untold grove How is it that sata splitters are generally considered safe, but molex to sata adapters aren't?

#

I thought the problem with molex->sata existed just in the quality of the sata connectors end

something about molding tolerances

olive wadi

poop it im just going to order molex->sata directly from molex

So I'll be out of a sn750, prospecting to rebuy it in due time. Although now that I have a Gen4 capable mobo, it seems prime to get a sn850. But it's currently expensive, which is why I opted for the sn750 in the first place. Maintain course for that 750?

before windshields comes, no hmb on sata

lean quest
#

so I tested my ssd that I thought was doa... and I found that I could access it fine on my pc but the server can't see it at all

#

direct and with the adapter

#

and I can't see it at all in the server

#

hmmm

#

@untold grove also a question rather than musings, do you know if it's possible to use the idrac port as a NIC? IE not plug in two network cables to the server? I know I can use IDRAC with LOM but it seems like there's features that might not fully work if using that though

untold grove
#

uhhhh

#

dont

#

lol

untold grove
#

lol

lean quest
#

but I don't want to have to buy another network cable and run it to my other room where my server lives rn 😦

untold grove
#

uh

#

buy a switch

#

lul

#

real question is why werent you using a switch to begin with

#

i literally make out with unifi so id go with their switches for managed

#

or

#

if ur poor

#

tp link unmanaged 8 port gigabit switch is cute too

#

unifi is raccmount tho

lean quest
#

so unmanaged is just going to mean I have to control everything through my router and everything gets it's own IP address basically? And with a managed switch it creates a subnet that I can do individual controls on?

#

or would at least allow me to create a subnet with it

#

and also any other troubleshooting thoughts about that drive above... not sure what to do since I can see it with my PC and also other drives in that bay work fine. Seems like my server just doesn't like this drive for whatever reason

untold grove
#

what drive

lean quest
#

ssd kingston 120gb 2.5in

That's exactly what I meant.

If my computer can't detect the drive, then something's gone wrong.

dusk turtle
#

Ah, it didn't show up in Disk Management?

#

Did it show in the BIOS?

obsidian mirage
#

It showed in BIOS and was working fine, but then I messed with the settings and adding array to the M.2 and ultimately it can't be recognized without enabling NVMe Raid.

dusk turtle
#

not a RAID expert but there should be a way to get it back

This was an inconvenience that didn't suit me, so I'm out of an M.2, looking for a new one.

Hey, guys. I hope everyone's well. (This is actually my first time posting on Discord, so I hope I'm doing it properly!)

I could use a little help. I ordered a TB drive and about an hour after using it, it began malfunctioning. I can access my files that are on it for a couple of minutes before I get this problem. Do you guys know if there's anything I can do or am I just screwed? I have some important files transferred onto there (my wife's too), so I can't just send it back. I've also made sure all of my drives were up-to-date to make sure that wasn't the issue. : (

It needs to go in the M2_1 M.2 slot
