>>Valantar<< My files site on 4 6tb hard drives. I am loading, 50 to 75 files during trhew work day. The files are 8mb to 5gb. They are, for the most part, *.tif files. When loaded they are verified, renamed and converted to *.jpg files and saved. Boring day but that's what I do. Most editing...

Thank you for the well detailed comparison. I was told Thunderbolt II was the fastest for Video Editing. I will have to rethink this. Bob

>>EXCellR8<< So as I see I will still need to do the Chip Set drive update. Would the likes of the Lan, Audio and Firmware ect also be a separate update. I always thought they were part of the BIOS update. I used to check the dates and if older than the BIOS I would think it way inclusive. Bob

Thanks for good advice. Bob

Recently I was told by a tech that the difference is hardly noticeable between the above. I'm looking at the following memory. Vengeance® LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C14 Memory Kit I was thinking of waiting for the 3300MHZ when asked why. Bob

I'm looking for speed! Cost is not a factor when wanting to get to the real facts. Generally I use a Raid0 and SSd's. I also use Seagate 6T drives for storage and backups. What is on the way out and what is the fastest? How do they compare? Bob

I have 1 Raid0 on ports 2&3. I have two WD Blacks 1T each on ports 5&6. The WD's do not show up in the Intel Raid setup. Also concerning is the WD's that are connected to 5&6 show up in the Storage con fig, BIOS, as being on ports 7&8 even thou they are connected to 5&6. This is how they...

If you replace your board a couple times each year $40 dollars adds. But if like me ever 3 or 4 years piece of mind comes more into play. Bells and whistles, yea that works for me. Oh coarse it was to stand the test of a good forum which it did here. So i'm going back to me fresh install and try...

>>I wouldn't worry about Thunderbolt - USB 3.0 is screamin' fast and works with all your 'old' USB 2.0 stuf<< I did buy into the Thunderbolt hype. I just wish I could feel safe to use it. Is it just for video & drivers. No one seems to sell supporting items. Bob

>>Unless you buy the P8Z77-WS instead. Heh.<< Ok Know that it's installed tell what I didn't get. Make me feel good. Make me feel real good about my bad purchase. Bob ah

>>Sleepingforest<< You do have good advice. But on this one I did want the p8Z77-V. After reviewing all that YouTube offered on the subject, I had no choice. But I love the board and it only cost me 250apx at Newegg. But I will say I'm not happy with my $7200 order with Newegg!!! Why?? Another...

I was told, somewhere, to avoid all except the Bios. Looking for Expect advice. Bob

Because of this info I do believe and I'm putting it together without a raid. This also opened up more drive possibilities. This my plan. The first SSD would be my operation System (Windows *) I&#8217;m putting my SSD & HHD as listed: Cache - SSB 250 Cache - SSD 500 SATA6 - Segate Momentus XT...

Should I update my Chipset with "Win8 32bit & Win8 64bit.(WHQL)" I know I have to update my bios for sure. Just built this week. I also see an update for the Firmware, Wireless & SATA. My first build in years and lost for words. Help!. Bob

Someone talked me out of raiding my SSD because not much of a gain. How do you feel. Bob
