Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Of course, for you morons that don't make OS image 
Manegarm, from reviews on the net seems like Corsair and Intel are the best, but
for some reason they cost twice as much here

the reason it is stupid to stripe bstool is because it's a relatively small amount of data, and striping ONLY increases speed of writes. This didn't used to be the case but it is now. it used to be that reads would only use a single channel, but now both channels are used for reads on a mirror or a stripe. So buying two smallish drives and not mirroring them if you are going to use them both for c: is pretty dumb. Or as we say over here croat.

Well I usually have the philosophy when it comes to off brand tech is that it's going to cost me double either way when I have to replace it.. Or even more when it fries my motherboard.
I usually go for Corsair when it comes to most things only thing they actually suck at is making mouses and keyboards.

Then again, SSDs are pretty generic thing...if both Mushkin and Corsair use same NAND type
of memory, and same SF-2281 controller, what can really go wrong?

Well the same goes for RAM memories I'd still buy Corsair over some off brand.. quality of engineering and assembly.

Firmware!
Assuming different brands with the same hardware use different.
