Ok, kid.

Brilliant reply.

Fast machine to build, slow machine to test.

I've been using a bunch of Adata S102 drives in the last three years or so: 16 (x2), 32 (x2), 64 (x4) and two128 GB (which I have not used yet). No complains. I trust them, but maybe it's just luck, of course.

Another vote for the Adata S102.

Science-fiction. A decision taken by Intel a few weeks ago does not modify (and could not modify) the characteristics of a processor (i7-4771) launched in Q3-2013. Anyway, have you read what you wrote? If Intel is willing to separate "consumer and professional platforms", it's (obviously)...

Pointless remark. As a matter of fact, I'm not interested in what you have to say. I already have provided a link that proves my point. Bye.

Think again. No "consumer" would need a resource like vPro, and not every business needs a Xeon cluster. Intel® vPro™ Technology

As I said, the i7-4771 is a "business model" processor. I'm not concerned with the NSA (I mean, at an individual level), but with ramsonware and stuff like that. :)

Never mind, I found the information: The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a separate computing environment physically located in the MCH chip or PCH chip replacing ICH. The ME consists of an individual processor core, code and data caches, a timer, and a secure internal bus to which additional...

All modern Intel processors have this backdoor? I use a "business" Haswell (i7-4771).

I'd like to have one even if wrapped in a box like this:

Thanks for the warning.

I could find some use for a ten bucks LGA1151. Well, maybe.

I'm slowly moving my PCs to Windows 8.1 + Classic Shell. Until 2023, that's what's left for those who avoid Windows 10 like the pest, and that's what I intend to use with Ryzen or Ryzen II. But, for now, Windows 7 is the king on my Haswell.
