Show Us Your WEI [3]

[Hopalong X]

I feel ya, my first SSD was the Intel X25-M 120GB.......$209 lol

That is what my Intel 320 120GB was spring 2011.

They had a Sammsung 830 256GB for about $160 the other day.
I wanted one but have the Sam 830 128GB and the Intel already so I didn't get one.

Don't feel bad Mike, I got the one you would have gotten.

You bought another one??????

Well, you didn't and somebody had to. I can't depend on you for much.

 

[Hopalong X]

I feel so much better now.​

They are taking me away on the crazy train. All aboard!

Mike ask Steve how many drives he has in all.

Mike ask Steve how many drives he has in all.

Fewer than I used to but more GB now. When I sold my HAF X case with the 3570K rig, I included 2 SSDs. A 120GB and a 64GB. That left me with only 5 SSDs spread among 4 computers. So, I bought the 256GB to make up for the shortage, so now I have 6. I'm still trying to finagle a way to get another one to bring me back to 7, but with the prices dropping I may just get another 256GB one. Eventually. Maybe in time, I can go all SSDs.

Now, if you want to include mechanical drives. I really don't know. Every time I open another box, I find one I forgot I had. I am down to about 6 or 7 TB that I know of now. Running rather low. And Linnemeyerhere was complaining about a SSD and hard drive addiction.

And here I thought I was doing well with a "meager" 3 SSDs.

 

[essenbe]

You're just getting started, LittleJay. I've been at it for a while.

 

[Britton30]

What about the HDDs you have for backup, storage and clones?
I have 2 SSDs and 5 HDDS all told, 3 HDDs are in rigs and two external.

You're just getting started, LittleJay. I've been at it for a while.

I am always on the "watch" for good prices on SSD's from places like TigerDirect and NewEgg. Do I need more of them? Nope, but I sure enjoy playing around with them. And its good to know that I'm not the only one out there!

 

[essenbe]

No, LittleJay, we're not alone!

All toether I have 8 HDDs. 2 are in an older PC, with 6 of them for backup and storage.

Nice numbers, Origineel. Good job.

I'm pretty sure your i5-2500K is at stock speeds. If you have good cooling, try to OC it to 4.2 GHz and your WEI should bump to 7.7 .

 

[Origineel]

Yeh its running at 3,4 right now, but i have used easytune 6 before to set it at 3,8 and it was stable and the temp normal but i had to remove my gigabyte programs to solve a other problem i had. I was also told that the cooler i have might not be good enough to OC. My cooler is a CoolerMaster Hyper 212plus.

 

[Dave76]

The CoolerMaster Hyper 212plus is an excellent cooler, I used one before I got the H80.
You can do serious OC'ing with one of them, my H80 is only a little better that the Hyper 212.

The Gigabyte utilities can cause issues, OC'ing from the BIOS is much better way to do it and you'll get lower temps.

Just find a OC guide, after the first time, it's pretty easy.
This will help with the BIOS functions: LGA1155 Overclocking Glossary

Just a couple to get you started.
