I have a bunch of LSI's, Areca's, AMI MegaRAID, Mylex, Adaptec, even a DPT!

Have some junkers like Promise and Highpoint too. Some supermicro rebranded Silicon Image and Marvell ones. Probably about 50 cards in all. :awe:

It would be cool to have a smart phone with two cpus (eight cores each) and NAND striped. Also a pair of microSD cards that could be set up RAID1.

On a more serious note imagine when we'll have virtualization on a smartphone! Run IOS (if you dare) in a VM inside of Android 5.x...

Speaking of smart phones, how many of those do you have? I have at least 30 from old blackberries to a few S4s, HTC One, Butterfly, etc. Probably have spent a few k$ in cases over the years too.

This must be some kind of record, I hijecked my own thread in the first post. Probably the effect of a tiny hangover, oh well shit happens.

RAID zero is the fastest at laying tracks you know. ;)

But like going fast in a straight line, one turn too fast will fuck you hard and you lose it all!

Life's too short to not take gambols with your shit. Just put your photos on dropbox and sit back and have chili dog and smile. :biggrin:

Are you OCD?

Guilty as spoken...

My brother, however is a silicon hoarder. He still has a KG7 that he fires up from time to time just to talk about how AMD was so much better than Intel back in what 2001 it was?

Of course it was a sweet system until you try to do something that required real work of the chipset and talk about a letdown.

That's why the workers spent big bucks on dell precision worksatans with their dual xeons and ecc ram. Bascially server on the desktop. They were pretty reliable though but ugh $$$ for a computer! I wasn't really into computers in the days when SGI was at the top of the scale for a worksatan...

2, I think. One PCI IDE RAID (Acard chipset I believe) and one PCI SATA RAID (Silicon Image chipset). Haven't used either of them in years. Might be a SCSI RAID controller around here somewhere.

none. onboard raid is good enough for home use. for work, we use enterprise storage EMC stuff that has hardware raid.

why do you have so many phones?
