I built this computer about a year ago and it works great with one exception. If I leave the computer on overnight one of the four drives in my RAID 10 array will become unstable and crash. If I mark it as normal in the ASUS RAID setup and rebuild it everything works fine until I leave the...
I am building a new computer this week and will be using RAID for the first time. I need a little advice on how to set it up.
The motherboard I am using is an ASUS P7P55D-E-LX. I have four 1TB HDD's and one 2TB HDD.
I want to run the four 1TB's in a RAID 10 configuration and the 2TB as a...
I will probably be adding more HDD's in the near future. That is why I was thinking of the larger PSU. What would you recommend for this setup and the possibility of up to four more HDD's?
When I ran the Newegg.com PSU calculator it recommended a 574w PSU for that setup and a 672w PSU for the...
So, I had everything decided and ready to go for my build and the SB issues came up. I won't be able to put off getting my new computer until the repaired boards come out, so I have decided to go with a bit older technology and then worry about upgrading the motherboard and processor next year...
I appreciate the advice and as always the banter between people with differing opinions. In my situation the data corruption could cost me money and isn't an option. Also, time is money in business, so i think I will be going with the i7 instead of the i5. It sounds to me like the P55 option...
I will be using Lightroom 3 and CS5 primarily with some other add ons. I think I will go with the i7 then. I didn't know if there was something I was missing that would make the i5 better for some odd reason.
I have a NAS that I back everything up to, so that isn't a problem.
I am leaning toward an i7-870 right now, but I still don't know which motherboard to go with. It seems like the 870 is the bang for the buck processor now with the SB's out of the equation.
I would love to go with a SB 2600k, but it looks like Micro Center and Newegg have pulled the motherboards from their shelves. If I could find a good motherboard locally that supported it I would definitely buy one. I don't have a problem using a separate card for SATA.
I wouldn't be willing to...
I had decided on a SB build for my photo processing computer, but we all know the story on that one. I need to build a computer in the next two weeks and I am now looking for recommendations on a processor and motherboard.
I prefer ASUS, but will listen to other recommendations. I need it to...
The EA231WMi-BK isn't for editing, but rather to declutter the editing monitor by placing pallets and such on it. The editing monitor would be either the NEC PA271W or LCD2490W2-BK. That was a typo. The Spectraview package is a given.
