    Question I need a SAS Expander card but what about the specs? x16 versus x8 and 12Gb/s versus 6Gb/s...

    Thanks, I will happily work on it... Well, maybe not happily but with appreciation... Sorry. I didn't realize or consider the size of my potential projects would be a criterion in order for you to make better suggestions. Nobody asked really, and I didn't think of it. So, just for the sake...

    Too judgy... So much anger... I am not there. But I understand. Accusations are always based on your perception and then some feelings. After that, judging comes easy. I understand the motivation. But then bashing, putting down, trying to heart someone's feelings, (in the name of "reality...

    Why the condescending tone... :eek: The future is here actually. I've just heard of a composer who fills up 256 GB with his huge projects. And I have done lots of rendering in my day, so I can tell you that 128GB have would make a huge difference with all that rendering. I did with 64 GB...

    @LikeLinus Well, my friend, I spent about $800 for those Rams, yes. But I did that yesterdayz. Now, is todayz. I haven't made any money in the last 8 months so, 'around $200' is not a chicken fee right now... And that future is almost here in a year or so... Besides, I was provided with the...

    I don't think I am in the wrong place... I am in many places... And I am way more interested in what this and other Hardware/PC platforms got to say about the issue than the KVR... I was like; Huh! because I felt like there was a bit of condescending tone to it. I tried to explain about 128GB...

    Ahh! Now that you've mentioned it. You don't need 128 GB Ram for Music production... Yet... 64 GB Ram is enough even for most demanding projects. But... About 8 and a half years ago, when I built my first WS, people were making fun of me, choosing 64GB of Ram for my WS... Nobody is making fun of...

    Oops! Sorry, that was mentioned elsewhere... There was a link that was posted for me there: "Found this page which has a very nice run through of PCI-E lanes and expansion possibilities for different uses/scenarios: https://www.cgdirector.com/guide-to-pcie-lanes/" I replayed: "I did stumble...

    That's where I got that comment from: https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/samsung-ssd-860-pro Naah! I won't run any benchmark... :) I believe you... But one more thing I can ask you though... Which I mentioned before; This; separate Chipset's lane business, what's that all about?

    Question I need a SAS Expander card but what about the specs? x16 versus x8 and 12Gb/s versus 6Gb/s...

    Interesting... I tried to understand if the Primocache uses available Ram or not, and I failed! :) I have 128 GB Ram, I wonder would that be, any factor or not? A second thought is that, I wonder if the process that Pcache applies to the HDD, would add any extra stress to the drive? I, for...

    There will be lots of samples and sound data that is not HiFi. Also project data, some of them huge... There will be raw video footage that goes back and forth. What I understood (not deeply) V3 is double the speed and the performance of V2. As what the V4 did for V3... Now, I didn't know how...

    Thank you for the suggestions but I feel like I should at least have a PCIe 3 card. Perhaps I don't exactly know what I am talking about but it feels like there is some importance in that... When you are the guy who had built your system and in fact that you are not an engineer you end up...

    Question I need a SAS Expander card but what about the specs? x16 versus x8 and 12Gb/s versus 6Gb/s...

    Thank you for your suggestions. All I need is 6 extra ports. And at the moment, they all are going to hook up 6GB/s SATA drives. So maybe, for now, I should just get a cheaper card; an x8 6Gbs&s one and seize the day...

    Thank you so much... These were very informative. It's still hazy but at least I can see around a bit... :) I will study these a bit further and then I'll be back bothering you... cheers

    I am on Win 10. SAS HBA would be okay. I thought, maybe in the near future I might RAID my main system drive with the daily fresh data for backup. But it's not a must! However, the SSD/HDD ratio in my system might change by more SSDs replacing HDDs. Or 2.M drives in a bit more far future... :)...
