It should have been pretty damn obvious to any sane person exactly what I was talking about, so if you have to twist my words around into a pretzel like that because you're only able to refute things that have nothing to do with what I was...

If you look at the 0.1% lows, which are always the best indication of micro stutters, they are fine in some of the games in the reviews you posted, but very bad compared to the rest of the field in others. Basically some games run fine while...

The repo obliteration aspect is nothing more than evidence concealment. Now we can't track down who pushed what updates and actually installed the backdoor.

One could also use NTFS which is natively supported on Windows and Linux (kernel-based now). For all the positives about ZFS there are also downsides that don't usually get mentioned. (I realize though the OP is the author of a ZFS front-end so...

CEO is an out and proud racist POS

never use paper towels on glass you want to stay clear. cellulose can scratch glass, so always use a microfiber cloth.

Not as pricy as you think...

Trudat, and as for scratches, that would really depend on the coating material & process... I've seen various sized sheets of it which were heat-tempered & coated with a layer of a top quality, molecular-bonded epoxy urethane during the milling...

Steel, titanium and aluminium all have coincidentally almost the same stiffness to weight ratio. However, since titanium is lighter, that means that a case made to be the same weight as a steel case will have thicker panels, and since the...

I have to agree. The older I get the more I do things that make ME happy after years of makings others happy. If that's a shiny new piece of hardware that does it then so be it.

I have some low hour 12TB Seagate IronWolf drives. If you're interested I can get SMART info for you

That doesn't answer my question. My concern had nothing to do with other people's purchases. Please don't thread crap.

Making me smile every day for the rest of my life is a massive real benefit. Perhaps you can't see it yourself, however it is objectively real and there.

I'm a little sused out by the picture in your auction that says the hard drive's status is "perfect". Are you aware that the meaning of the word perfect is "as ideal as possible"? Please explain to me why you think a s.m.a.r.t. status with 6...

I'm super desperate for a bit more space in my NAS to expand my movie storage a little. I'm relatively poor, so i'd love to pick up some used hard drives from my fellow brothers on the [H]. Lemme know if anyone had some used or new 12TB+ hard...

Used to have one of their aluminum cases a few decades ago. Cost was not the problem, the darned thing letting through every tiny bit of noise was. Nowadays that would be less of a problem with ssd's and better airflow-focused cases (allowing...

We not talking about a $500 case. It would be a couple grand more then likely.

That's so strange to me. I've never had an issue with spending $300-500 on a case. They last longer than almost any other PC component. I've always had a hard and fast rule that if I can't sit my fat ass on a PC case without damaging it, than...

It would, but we live in a world of £2k GPUs and £1k motherboards. A Ti case doesn't seem so excessive compared to that. I have a bicycle with a brushed Ti frame that is now 10 years old, and still looks pretty nice. A PC case sees a lot less...

Future proofing is a thing. But obviously a given PC will not be adequate forever into the distant future. For example, when I built this PC back in 2012, I future proofed it by installing 32GB of RAM in it. At the time, 12 years ago, all my...
