confirmed, started yesterday for me malicious redirects from homepage

I'm exact same way, first and foremost I enjoy fixing things and especially giving new life to otherwise "junk". Often even if I don't need the part I do it and donate as a small attempt to reduce e-waste and help a person/organization in need. 2 birds with 1 soldering iron ☺️

I got these, YGPM

Thank you @Andrew_S! sent you PM

Amazing thread! Can we keep this going and updating the OP as new deals/prices pop up?

Dang missed that you're in EU, thank you so much and thank you for contributing

Dang missed this, really need it too :)

Win-raid forums has. BIOSes for many of the popular X99 boards already patched. I'd check there

I stay away from those listings as if anything goes wrong, some sellers don't refund shipping costs

Haha more RAM is always the solution to our problems :D I recently upgraded from multi-SATA SDD raid0 array to NVME as well and haven't noticed a huge speed up either, definitely nothing like when going from HDD to SSD back in the early days (Intel X25-M anyone?). Don't get me wrong, what...

Thanks guys, I think another factor is economy of scale as U.2 is still "relatively" new compared to something like say SAS (with all the fan out cables) and most deployments are backplane based, therefore cables are probably very low demand therefore higher cost. I think my 2 u.2 ports onboard...

question that's always been in my mind about U.2 cables - why is it that U.2 drives seems to need to tap external SATA power? Does it exceed the power provided by the M.2 slot? I have 2 U.2 ports on my board but cables all seem to be $20-30 each

looks pretty sketch

I guess for laptop since it's copper heatplate/pipe on direct silicon die it's less of an issue? Most of my research has been around desktop types of applications and it does corrode aluminum heatsink base and IHS easily, literally eating through them

that's an awesome result for liquid metal - curious though, what do you do to deal with the corrosion of aluminum it brings?

Excellent question and I'm curious to the answer as well

What's the performance like on these PCI-e 8x drives? I'm having a hard time finding reviews

HwInfo64, monitor all your temps

Yes that's exactly what's required of the new firmware, like BIOS updates, sometimes you have to reset after the update for the settings to take place

well said, I think I went down that rabbit hole initially with some case choices because they "offered" expandability but buying cages etc for them ended up evening out vs. a 24 bay Norco/SM case used here in US. Anyways, I realized I don't have enough content to require more than a 8-10 drive...
