Absolutely! I realize I have not made the full extent of this project clear, let me elaborate. I'm intending to actually build the NAS myself, instead of getting a premade solution from the vendors you mentioned. The reason is that I would also like to utilize the system as an auxiliary...

I will stick to this raid setup then and look into higher throughput pcie NICs in case I feel like the gigabit ethernet bottleneck bothers me. Especially in the future when i might consider expanding the array for extra capacity and performance. Thanks for your reply.

So I'm considering getting a NAS because I work as a freelancer from home and need a storage solution to archive projects. Now the most appropriate setup for this would seem like a 4 disk raid 10 array. I would likely use 4 2TB WD Red or Seagate NAS HDDs. The question that popped up, was...

alright thanks lehtv, appreciate your advice. I just ordered the Super Flower Golden Green HX-650.

thanks for your great reply lehtv! I'm actually located in Europe and Rosewill unfortunately is one of the few major manufacturers that I've come across that don't ship over here. I should have told you this beforehand, I apologize. I checked out the Antec TP-650c and It appears to be a great...

My power supply is from the Cougar Power series (I bought it in 2009) which is discontinued now. So to answer your questions concisely: The Name is Cougar Power 550W and the exact Model is HEC-550TE (it's on the very bottom of the page you linked) The unit is about 4 years and 2 months and 6...

First things first, I'm currently using a Cougar Power 550W PSU. I overclocked my i7 860 from 3.55 to about 4ghz a couple months ago and received hard drive and memory failure. I reverted back to stock clocks and took a break from ocing after that because of work. Now I recently began to...

right I'm running 1156. I'm not sure if I can RMA this, specially cuz I just found out that the HDD apparently came from the Asia-Pacific region and shows up as out-of-region when I check the serial number with the RMA s/n lookup tool on WD website. Now I read on some forum that WD allows one...

Thanks for providing some insight on how this all works. So are you saying that the only way I can fix this is to RMA it? Are there no Software Tools that could help initialize the drive perhaps? I also noticed that windows is detecting 16GB Ram installed but only makes 7.99GB usable, not sure...

I don't think I can RMA this. I bought the HDD off ebay. It was new without packaging but still sealed in the Western Digital anti static bag. I am back on stock clocks but I can't format or partition it. I'm not sure if this happened because it touched the VTT or the fact that that allowed...

I overclocked my i7-860 to 3.6ghz a while back and just now to 4ghz with new SSD HDD and memory. I used to not get past 3.6ghz by increasing VCORE but increasing VTT helped me get to 4ghz. When adjusting these settings in bios and booting back up to stress test I noticed that I sometimes have...
