Are there only PCI-E USB3 expansion cards? Is PCI too slow?
My only PCI-E x16 slot is taken by my Asus Xonar D2X
Is the PCI-E 1x slot designed (and spaced) to be used at the same time as the x16?
Apologies for all the questions
Thanks everyone

Re: 2TB drive, BIOS only supports upto 1TB, two 1TB partitio
Full speed? So I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 2TB drive on USB3 and SATA directly into the motherboard? That would be fantastic! Almost seems too good to be true, what's the catch? :wink: Does anyone know of a good quiet fast USB3 enclosure that supports 2TB? I was thinking "I...

Re: 2TB drive, BIOS only supports upto 1TB, two 1TB partitio
Thanks guys, if when I try it I can find no other way of getting 2TB, will a USB 3 enclosure, that supports 2TB, show 2TB in windows even though the BIOS only supports 1TB? (As the enclosure has it's own sort of BIOS I'd imagine)
Many thanks
Many thanks

2TB drive, BIOS only supports upto 1TB, two 1TB partitions?
Hello everyone, I hope you had a good Christmas The latest BIOS for the mATX motherboard (MSI P7NGM Digital) in my HTPC only supports upto 1000GB, I'd like to buy a 2TB (WD20EARX) storage drive for it (it has an SSD system/boot drive), I'm guessing if I was to install it directly it would only see i...

What was that Samsung HD501LJ speed trick? cant find it
Im sure i read a thread about making a Samsung HD501LJ a third the capacity at 3 times the speed, i think it was compared to a raptor but without the seek speed? Can anyone find the thread or remember if it was worth it? I'd like a quiet but faster drive for my quiet gaming machine, wondering if ano...

it will always be slower than running it on a local machine :p the question is whether it would be quicker to manually copy the exe or would the pc automatically copy the file to a temp folder on a local drive, faster than we would and deleting itself for you? or would it just be stupid and run slow...

fantastic, great info! thanks guys, exactly what i was hoping to hear :) what about installing applications from a remote pc? would they install just as fast if the exe was executed through 'my network places' as they would if the exe was first copied to the local machine? (and would this difference...

stream all but 1080p from 100mbit NAS?
Im hoping to store everything on drives in a dell SFF (100mbit) in another room and access it via a 15m cat6 cable, (quieter) would this be fast enough for everything other than 1080p?

How close you are computer also affects your hearing but one of the thing we have to remember when it comes to silent PC's 1) Noise, sound and anything related noise are subjective to the individuals. Which leads to us in 2nd thing: 2) We're all individuals. Way we hear and especially experience so...

I seriously can't hear it unless I kneel down and put my head in level with the intake vent slits on the P182. Sure, but I would say the same thing about a 550RPM fan. I definitely can't hear that from more than a few inches away . . . At least not in a normal room. Do you live in an anechoic chamb...

if there is quieter available, yes ;) why buy a good one when with the same money (or little more) i can buy the best? :) id like it to be as quiet as possible, have a slipstream in there at the moment and would like quieter, and PWM so that it can be temperature controlled (m-atx motherboard, PWM i...

that is great news, so could one go as far as to say that downloading to the storage drive would not decrease hard drive life span or realiability or increase chance of failure?
