I use MR Free with great success. But as mentioned above, what I'm trying to do only works (AFAICT) with the paid version, which I'm not too keen on paying for at list price.

Marking "Solved", though I'm not actually going through with the solution. Appreciate the input.

Try it. You've got nothing to lose. If it can't keep up, then grab a new cooler.

Yeah, but I might do it anyway. A little research suggests that Redeploy to Different Hardware in MR is a paid-only feature. :-\

Didn't see that option, but may not have looked hard enough. If nothing else, I can do another trial of the full version. I'm not necessarily dead-set on using MR for this, and am willing to try other migration methods.

I've got a W10 installation striped across two 120GB SSDs that I'm trying to image onto an SM961 using MR. The image creates and restores without errors, but Windows bluescreens on boot, complaining about missing \system32\drivers\spaceport.sys. I tried creating a new image after making sure...

The design says "popcorn machine" to me more than "fish tank". I almost want to buy it simply to reward a manufacturer for releasing a new design with a disk activity LED. Shame about the PLED, though.

New noises on a hard drive generally mean it's starting to fail. Nothing's guaranteeing it will; there's the potential for it to run for years yet. But I wouldn't bet on it. If you don't replace, at least make sure you're backing up your important data. You can also check S.M.A.R.T. data...

Add my vote for 1440p. Pixel density at that resolution on a 27" is higher than 1080p on a 24" As far as 1080p content being blurry, that's a risk, but any of that would hypothetically be in motion and thus less noticeable than static imagery on desktop. Any modern display adapter can push...

I loved the Permedia 2, if only because the Linux drivers were so good at a time when so many weren't. My first was a Diamond Monster Fusion (3DFX Voodoo Banshee)

The projections (correct or not) were made and contracts written. Sony has an obligation to supply units to distributors at the agreed cost. What happens after that is basically out of their hands. I don't know the duration or structure of those contracts, so maybe at some point they get...

That's a situation that'll resolve itself. If and when people stop paying the inflated prices, the price will drop. A stack of unsold PS5s does a seller, scalper or otherwise, no good. In any case, a quick look at eBay's Sold listings in the US has a PS5 selling at the rate of about one every...

Scalpers aren't likely hoarding anything; that doesn't make them money unless they correctly bet that average selling price will rise appreciably over current levels. Oversimplified, it's like somebody getting the last unit in a physical line at a store, then turning around to the remaining...

I've never heard of a processor causing damage to a motherboard, but I'm by no means an expert, and anything's possible as they say. I don't see any bent pins in your pic, either, though it looks like there may be a couple bits of crud in there. Don't know what to say about the discoloration...
