  1. GG, please stop drinking and posting in this format. You sound nutz. ^^^ I'm serious 'bout this, do get a grip. To answer your Q: 1- That CORSAIR is faster, is CL32 and does 6400/MTs 2- You will never notice the difference twixt the two 3- in 5 years your system will be old, DDR5 maybe hard to find as likely DDR7 then. 4- Here in Chattanooga, hard to find Crucial, market dominated by CORSAIR No offense intended, just tryin' to help. (so don't reply to my comment) Happy 1'st day of "spring" to everyone.
  2. Overclocking and cooling. (*never OC the ram!) Be aware if you overclock that CPU, your chosen CPU cooler will not suffice. I would suggest a water block. There is a silver lining in this. That unit could/would cool both the CPU and a discrete GPU card. So there goes all those fans and hence the noise.
  3. System Board is good but Please do look at ASrock; https://www.asrock.com/ Info about them here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASRock I've used them 3x in previous builds and do recommend. The Power Supply choice is fine, 750w should be 'nuff. Pay attention to it's cables! Do use DDR5 RAM. Not DDR4. Do use 64GB or more. Do use a M2 NVME SSD as the system drive, not a SATA SSD. The Samsung Pro or EVO is excellent. AVOID all QVO models. For additional storage I use the Seagate Iron Wolf or the Seagate Iron Wolf Pro (only in 7,200 RPM). Of course do use quality SATA cables. I expect you will need a discreet graphics card for those 4 monitors. Whats up with the weird post by 'ABCDBKK' ? That should be in the 'Pub' forum. Whatever.
  4. I should also mention the Intel Thread Director and these Intel Hybrid CPU's. Around the time of Intel 10th gen CPU's is when they introduced the hybrid "E'" and "P" design. To utilize them requires the Intel Thread Director. Both in hardware and the OS. Windows 10 has a very poor implementation of it, and will/can never be fixed (just can't be). Windows 11 has the full implementation. So does Linux. It's in the v20.? kernel. What this means is one will have piss poor performance in these hybrid Intel CPU's of gen 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Please research this yourself. I've only ever used Intel CPU's, since the 8086. I'll not go into my background. My next build will very likely be the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G. It tick's all the boxes at 65 watts. Hoping Intel gets their act together and has an alternative to their high-wattage toaster oven CPU's.
  5. The Core i5-13600K has a base TDP (PL1) of 125 watts and a max turbo TDP (PL2) of 181 watts. That means the CPU will consume a minimum of 125 watts of power (PL1) at its E-core base frequency of 2.60 GHz and a maximum of 181 watts of power (PL1) at its P-core base frequency of 3.50 GHz. That's a lot of heat. I advise 2 case fans to exhaust that internal case heat. Given the Intel internal graphics poor performance I don't expect 4 monitor support to be adequate for your needs.
  6. The OP clearly asked about Seagate Ironwolf Hard Disk Drives for a NAS. Why is this thread polluted with posts about fake USB, SSD and NVME storage units??? Jeeze, stay on topic please. I have 3 Seagate Ironwolf 8TB, Cost USD $180 ea (w/o tax) purchased from 'Best Buy' in Chattanooga TN. The Seagate Ironwolf Pro version are about $40+ more in price. Warranty; Seagate Ironwolf 3-Years, Seagate Ironwolf Pro 5-Years The 4TB are 5,900 RPM. The 6TB, 8TB and above are 7,200 RPM
  7. Actually that is no longer true as most spinning HDD's have supported Trim for about 8 years. All of my spinners do. And it does reduce the need to defrag. Most welcome on my 8+ TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro's.
  8. It’s always best to do at least some cursory research before you embarrass yourself on an open forum: I refer you to the official Samsung data sheet, there you will see LPDDR4 is the cache and not the V-NAND. https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/data-sheet/Samsung_SSD_870_EVO_Data_Sheet_Rev1.1.pdf Most if not all SSD's will use this or the LPDDR5. In addition many phones/tablets also use this type ram. In closing I stand by what I originally posted. Sir, I respectfully submit that you may now eat crow. I do not expect an apology. Do have a good day. - howto
  9. Err sorry, These units are SSD's and use nonvolatile NAND in a tri-level cell storage setup. DRAM is volatile memory used on the system-board and as the cache in HDD's, i.e. they loose their contents when power is removed.
  10. Read here; HDDs Typically Failed In Under 3 Years In Backblaze Study of 17,155 Failed Drives https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/hdds-typically-fail-in-under-3-years-backblaze-study-of-17155-drives-finds/ At the end of above is a link to Backblaze The "Backblaze Full Hard Drive Test Data Set" is on its Hard Drive Test Data page, where one can DL the data in pdf format as a zip file https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html I can not upload to AN as it is a 800 MB zip file. Choose your HDDs carefully, do your backups please. I suggest CMR drives only, don't use SMR drives for anything important, YMMV. - howto
  11. Check your manual and find how to check the page count of that unit. Is the drum due for replacement? Could be a toner cartridge issue, try a new OEM unit. Clean the corona wire. Check for updated firmware. Aside; I have noticed some paper can have this effect.
  12. Agree Active@Kill Disc works. And Bleachbit. Seemed good 'nuff for Hilliary Clinton, they never got any data from those discs. Bet of Luck - howto
  13. Bailey Irish Cream will sort you on this
  14. 1. wrap the following in foil (shiny side in) 2. meat (prep-season) + vegs (prep) + some oil 3;. Bake in the middle of the Convection Oven.
  15. @samisaurus Can't help with the requirements question, I'm also curious as I will likely visit in the near future.
  16. Just announced here yesterday, EPB Launches America’s First Community-wide 25 Gig Internet Service. https://old.reddit.com/r/Chattanooga/comments/wwwj8m/epb_launches_americas_first_communitywide_25_gig/?sort=old For the past 5 years I've had the synchronous 1Gbit, it is fantastic. Would not mind the 2.5 Gbit, but the 10 or 25 Gbit is absurd as a consumer. Oh my, the memories of dial-up and Thailand over the years. Have a great weekend!
  17. Note the current ver of Macrium Reflect Free is v8.0.6635 2022-03-04. Not necessary to 'restore' a backup or image to access a directory or file within it. You do not run 'Macrium Reflect' to do this. Windows Explorer opens automatically when you open a backup/image as a virtual volume from within the file explorer. Details: In Windows File Explorer, double click the xxxx.mrimg image you want to open. A small 'Backup Selection' window opens. You see what Volumes are in the xxxx.mrimg. - CHOOSE/SELECT the volume you want NOTE there are 2 'tick boxes' at the bottom - 'Enable Access To Restricted Folders' *only use if you intend to 'Access Restricted Folders' - 'Make Writable' *do not enable this if you only want to copy a directory or file from the *.mrimg Now, that volume will be mounted in a new 'File Explorer Window' as a virtual volume, and will use any available drive letter. Explore the volume. Copy the data to wherever you want. When finished, 'UnMount the Macrium Image'. - howto
  18. Perhaps this will give you some ideas. http://www.freeantennas.com/ How to Build a 76 Foot Tilt Over Tower (for antenna mast, light pole, or other light duty service) http://www.freeantennas.com/tilt-over-tower/index.html Please do have it reviewed for fitness to your purpose. howto
  19. Back in 2006 I purchased a Zinsano AR Blue Clean high pressure washer. I and family left Thailand mid 2016, returned to the US. Sold that unit, along with all the associated kit I acquired for it's use. Hoses, kwic-click adapters, a incoming water filter, valves, a long heavy duty power cable (needed!), extra wand attachments, detergents, mounted on a 2-wheel luggage trolley. While the unit was expensive, it was simply superb in every respect. Was used often. Fantastic pressure w/ high LPM flow. Used extensively after the 2010~2011 flood. Strip paint both exterior and interior for the total repaint of the house. Some tips and warnings, - duty cycle, use unit for 15 minutes, then unit pwr-off 15 minutes. - high pressure hose fittings and such are not 'standard'. - long, skinny high pressure hoses can be had from the distributor. - avoid the large, fat hoses, are heave to drag, easy to scuff. - don't scuff your hoses. - if the hose is punctured, don't place your hand on it. Can cut you like a knife. - do use a heavy duty power cord. - do use a incoming water filter, DIY with stuff from local irrigation supplier. - the 2-wheel luggage trolley is a worthy DIY project. - use a proper oil. I have (had?) ; the manual, a exploded parts diagram, phone numbers and locations of importers/distributors. If I find then, I shall re-post on this thread. This unit had a powerful electric motor which direct drives the high pressure pump. The high pressure pump unit was a 2 piece stainless steel housing, and had 3 ceramic pistons driven by a 3-lobe camshaft. It of course required lubrication, so was filled with oil. Here are 2 very old links, both none functional now: https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/658591-advice-on-pressure-washers/?page=5 https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/658591-advice-on-pressure-washers/?do=findComment&comment=12864941 The Zinsano Technical representatives at the Buriram Home and Tool Expo told me the Blu Italian made high pressure washer should use DIN 51506 oil such as the Puma high temperature oil. The Puma oil should be available in every province of Thailand. DIN 51506 VDL lubricants have additives that protect from corrosion and oxidation, and air compression temperatures up to 220°C; recommended for compressors with two stage air compression.
  20. CharlieH, Tsk Tsk you know to mention if it's a laptop, desktop, and the OS. ???? Sounds like the port is not waking-up. Perhaps a power profile issue as mentioned. Here is a freeware app I've used for years. It runs standalone, does not require installation. Works under Windows 2000, XP, Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 and Server 2000 to 2022 USB Device Tree Viewer ; http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html Current Ver ; v3.7.7 2022-02-13 Download ; https://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/UsbTreeView_x64.zip UsbTreeView_v3.7.7_2022-02-13_x64.zip Upon run, will display USB hubs, ports and attached devices. A device marked in 'Red' is functional and OK. A device marked in 'Yellow' has issues. Highlight it, right-click, choose 'restart device'. If that does not work, choose 'restart port'. Cheers, howto
  21. A Samsung SSD 3-Cell, and no, even that I really don't trust. Was necessity. Can't wait 3 weeks for the Pro (supply chain issues?). Trust it more than any 'Wastern Digital' product. Mis-spelling intentional.
  22. A week b4 xmas I needed a SSD for a old desktop. Was considering the 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus, until I read this. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/samsung-seemingly-caught-swapping-components-in-its-970-evo-plus-ssds/ I purchased a Samsung 870 EVO 500GB instead. $60 from BestBuy. Not on sale. Works very well. I did 'short-stroke' it to 250GB. Did not engage 'rapid-mode' or 'over-provision'. It's simply fast enough for my needs and will hopefully last years. Next is several 4TB Seagate Ironwolfs. At $80 ea, again at Bestbuy.
  23. Now shall we discuss SMR vs CMR hard drives, it would be relevant. Almose everything is now SMR. I don't want it just like V-NAND SSD's. These HDD's can be had in CMR: Seagate Barracuda 'Plus', not the common one. Seagate Ironwolf (entire line) * perhaps another Seagate line, too lazy to look right now. Western Digital Red Plus or Pro (thats it). For my 1 baht opinion, for SSD I prefer Samsung in SLC (hard to find and $$$) and MLC (2-cell), I don't trust tricell (3-cell) and abhor 4 cell NAND.
  24. possum1931, OneMoreFarang and CharlieH have the best solution. Hands down. Kudo's to your common sense to see it. - best of luck, howto
  25. My reply may seem log-winded, however here I will only mention the key issues. Be aware I live in the USA, east coast, Chattanooga TN. I am 12 hours behind Thailand. Please don't expect swift replies. I do not fully understand what your intent is, why you need to do this. - you need all the data on a new HDD? - or you need only a folder, with its files? Anyway ,,, Sometime in the past, you installed Macrium Reflect 'Free'. By default it would have installed itself on the computers system drive, usually drive "C:\". In your "C:\Program Files\Macrium\Reflect\". You could not change this. You created a backup. - By default, MRF saves backups in the above mentioned MRF directory. -- NOTE; You can 'globally' change this default -- to another location (a different folder or HDD). So all backups go there. Perhaps you did not change where the backup is to be saved and used the default. Also, at the time you create a backup, *YOU CAN SPECIFY WHERE TO SAVE THAT BACKUP. - By default, the backup will have a funky name, such as "6500740A06999D60-00-00.mrimg". *UNLESS AT THAT TIME YOU SPECIFIED TO CHANGE THE SAVED BACKUP FILE NAME TO BE "DESCRIPTIVE", Example;; "2021-10-15 KPC W7 Full C Samsung SSD Image Backup-00-00.mrimg". - By default, MRF also saved WHERE THE DATA IN THIS BACKUP "CAME FROM". *MRF will want to RESTORE that data to where it came from. *** HERE, CAUTION IS ADVISED. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING DATA. You must specify EXACTLY where to RESTORE the data (which HDD). Perhaps you want "ALL" the data restored -or- maybe only a specific 'folder' with it's data -or- only a specific 'file'. Macrium Reflect 'Free' did not have all the 'features' of the paid version of Macrium Reflect. - in MRF v7.x and previous versions, you could not extract a "single file" from the backup. IIRC, you could restore a "Directory" (a folder) with it's files. To me, that "feature" is a big deal. Now with v8.0.6353 you can. I have upgraded to v8.0.6353. I did register, with my email address, got my code. Did check my settings, they were maintained (and I looked at new settings). I confirmed one can now 'browse' the folders and files in saved backups. And one can now restore/extract a single file to where you want. MRF will 'mount' the backup image, as a drive letter. You are prompted if you want it 'read-only' (no editing) or as 'read-write'. Then you see it in windows file explorer, and copy (not move) folders/files to another location. *WHEN FINISHED, DO UNMOUNT THAT DRIVE LETTER, (just to be safe). So in summary, Attach/install your 'new storage device'. This can be a USB device (note caution about space). Update your MRF to the current v8.x. Your previous default settings are preserved. Run MRF. Locate/select the backup you want to restore from. *** change where you want to restore this data to, this is your target. *** confirm there is enought space on your target. To restore data to "your new target location", your choices are, - all the data -or- only the folder/files you need. If only a folder/files, then mount the bkup image, - browse it (in windows file explorer) - and copy what you need. I know MRF may seem daunting, especially to one not well versed in backups/restores. It is a little complicated, however very doable. One can read the 'how to' doc's on the MRF website (and should). Just be careful, don't be hasty when you do this. It will become easier as one becomes familar with the program. - howto
