You know that the new MS file system ReFS - the possible replacement for NTFS - is already fully available in Windows 8.1 as well as the latest Windows Server, right? You can access all features and...

I can't see any need for inbuilt WiFi on a desktop motherboard at all. Small-format items meant to be portable, then obviously that makes sense, but desktop machines need good wired...

Following his reviews of these new huge Red drives, I have a dialogue...

I wish that were true... I think you misread the same spec sheet I saw, which listed it (cleverly) as 10 in 10^16. The spec is indeed 1 in 10^15 as shown in their datasheet:...

Most end users (not companies) here aren't building arrays for high-throughput database work, but Write-Once Read Many (WORM) media storage arrays. Even with significant daily throughput the...

Personally, for many years, ever since I discovered the difference between consumer and RE/Enterprise drives, I've never bought a consumer-class drive or installed one for my friends or at work. I'm...

There's been a couple of reviews on Anandtech recently about new 6TB drives in consumer-class and enterprise variants: eg. http://anandtech.com/show/8263/6-tb-nas-drives-wd-red-seagate-ec-hgst-he ...

That makes more sense. Given I'm not a gamer, and am more interested in PCI-e lanes for extra storage bandwidth than filling slots with tri/sli setups, but still want the cores and onboard cache for...

OK, I'll bite. I haven't been following the high-end recently as an end-user, as the -E parts were well out of my price range. But I'll ask the obvious question for this forum as someone without...

Then you don't understand how databases work.

If I ask (in SQL code) for the last 30 posts from sub-forum "Storage", the subsystem only has to check one index to make the master list of posts -...

Then someone changed my default settings without asking. How can I browse or search a site when large parts of it aren't being shown, due to an obscure setting in my profile? That is exactly the...

Serra's letter is an interesting coincidence. And I hope you'll allow me to comment as a long-time mostly-lurker who hasn't earned his stripes by volt-modding everything or playing with LN2... ;)

Fugger, it wasn't meant as a kick-you. But you have had programmers "on staff" previously (mods/admin, whatever) who have made their own forum tweaks for you so were clearly capable of fixing this...

I wish you guys would do some debugging before you throw a new skin and code update on this site. Is that too much to ask from a technical website that should have competent programmers on it?

I never jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon, and (if only for the state of my electricity bill) I am glad I never did. The number of people jumping around saying smugly "I told you so" must be pretty...

Uh... no. Completely INcorrect use of an apostrophe. Nothing to gloat about. :shakes:

Apostrophes are used to show missing letters in contractions - as in there's (missing 'i' from 'is') - and...

Damn that's good. :rofl: I hope someone sigs it.

Nope, they are fancy Flash embeds rather than simple images. For me, NoScript strips them out. A triumph of cleverness over web design, unfortunately. :/
