General computer talk/advice

Thank you, I take great pride in having nice feet. I actually keep the platters. Keep them nice and reflective on one side, they make great inexpensive mirrors.

 

Having nice feet will make you way more popular with the ladys as well. I think.

well, just ordered four 2tb wd red drives so i can have a nas server finally. 6tb of storage. aww yiss

 

Why not order two 4TB-drives instead? Or one single 8TB-drive (don't know if there are even Reds that big yet)?

 

There are 8tb drives, but they are very expensive. Also, you may want more drives for data security.

 

Makes sense then. I was just thinking about someone who needs 8TB of storage probably needing twice that after some time as well.

 

Dear HP,

4GB of RAM is not enough. A 5400 RPM hard drive isn't fast enough.
The Bay-Trail Pentium is pretty ok.

6/10

i would, except that i wanted to make a raid 5. i may only use 3 of the drives and have the 4th as a spare, we shall see though.

 

Started stripping down my Sky HD+ cable tv box. Searching for the HDD (and I was bored) Uses sata and even has a normal red sata cable like the ones I use in my main rig, uses a 3.5" drive too, not got far enough in to get the size yet lol. Had a lot of twisted bits of metal instead of screws holding the pcb's in, pretty dick move since they are sharp as knives. Uses some sort of Broadcom CPU, welded to the board of course.

Crappy camera, I know.

 

I once got a 160GB (Could be wrong on that) IDE drive from a DVD Player+DVR that was being thrown out by someone. That now sits in one of my PS2s with a few games on it.

Soldered, not welded.

 

Nice, and yeah you can tell I typed that on my phone

Edit: Jackpot!

500gb 3.5" Seagate drive, it's barely been used too.

 

I did a thing. Apparently EVGA makes everything needed for a computer besides software, CPU's and drives... http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Funky7Monkey/saved/DX4H99

We shall, very much so indeed.

Whow.

 

Forza Apex announced. DX12 on windows 10.

 

(please don't be windows store only)

 

probably will be, although M$ do have steam titles published so fingers crossed.
Probably not even going to be that good either, but still, forza, PC, its a start.

From my understanding its essentially a tech demo proving their engine will run on PC for now, so maybe future titles will be on both platforms.

 

Just looked it up. Yeah, not that interesting. But it means we might get FM7 on PC, so...

Also, it would be pretty dumb to release a proper Forza game as a Windows Store exclusive, seeing how WStore games were received by the gaming community.

 

I'm actually kinda excited for Forza Apex. It's a good turn for the series and it's nice to see MS focusing on the PC gamer more.

Now, will it be any good? In my opinion, no. Not even in the slightest. Forza will need a couple of PC versions to really get itself settled. But we can hope, I suppose.

 

Why wouldn't it be good? its literally Forza 6 minus some features. That and all future Forza games will be coming to PC now too.
