Jared, I love your articles and reviews and lap them all up in order to keep my product and tech knowledge up to speed in a layman's sense. As I have told you before, I hate RAID or the thought of using any stack or array, and I am a photographer that has about 6.5 TB of data (raw image files)...

This PSU comes with "two PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 connectors with built-in temperature sensors that can shut down the PSU if overheating occurs." I built 14 months ago with the Corsair Shift 1200 PSU which at the time was advertised as ATX 3.0, but now suddenly is advertised as ATX 3.1 (not sure if...

1 PD? I need 12 TB M.2 PCIe 5 SSDs and we all need the 8TB models to drop to 300 bucks. I don't (and will not) use RAID or any form of stack or array. I use a single data 8TB SSD for my image data and back up to other single and separate 8TB SSDs. I'm a photographer and my image files are...

Well, obviously someone doesn't agree with you because the 5080s and 5090s were all gone before they even hit a shelf, and the next batch will be too. I hate the high price (because I'm getting g a 5080), but if you are NVidia, why lower it?

It is hard to comment on this without getting political. I have some strong opinions about what a trade war would do to the Chinese economy and whether or not slapping China with much tougher tariffs and demands is a good idea. I like Newegg and have bought PC components there, but I would...

TJ-I did not know that!!!! That is great info and I have for many months thought that the plug end on the cable also had a change and had this new 12V-2x6 update. But only the connectors on the PSU end and the GPU end have the change because that is where the pins are. That has been a...

The article made a mistake in not mentioning if this 12VHPWR connector is the new 12V-2x6 version, which looks identical but has both longer and shorter pins where it counts. I'm sure this MSI cable has the 12V-2x6 version of the connector on the GPU end. And why not on both ends? Why the...

Sounds great but I will never buy another USB C cable that is not 40 Gbps. In fact, I threw away a box full of USB cables away recently (which we should all do) and ordered new ones. Result? Not all "40Gbps" cables really are. The cable can cause transfer speeds to throttle back faster than...

I will get it if it can deliver that speed via a TB 4 port on my motherboard. I have two. The problem is that 20 Gbps USB C 3.2 2x2 ports are rare (even on the expensive ASUS Dark Pro board that I have), so the drive needs to get that speed via TB 4 ports, which are very common now. The problem...

Interesting, but as a consumer (and photographer) who likes all my images on one drive and backed up to other single drives, I would like 8TB drives to be cheaper (as expected for years now) and by now, for 12 and 16 TB drives to be available and even common. Right now, I'm filling 6.3 TB on my...

I built with the 14900K nine months ago and have had no stability issues. I have done some CPU intensive tasks though and one time my Corsair iQUE acted up and my fans didn't switch on and my CPU was running very hot for a while (7 minutes or so) before I noticed it. ASUS Dark Pro Motherboard...

Thanks! I have that M.2 SSD on my Motherboard already. But didn't know about that USBC4 enclosure! As a result I am buying that SSD and the enclosure right now and it will become my single-copy off-site backup! That gives me 8TB that will connect to my TB4 port on my Motherboard hopefully at...

I hear you, but I will not run an array or NAS of any kind and along with that am a RAID-hater from way back.... I want single fast 8TB SSDs (both external and internal). I have 4 inside my PC and two outside. My problem is I currently have about 6.5 TB of raw image data that I back up (not...

I need external 8TB SSDs because that is how I back up my images (photographer) multiple times on single drives. I would love this because I work on a very top-end desktop but can't spend 2,300 bucks on this drive. I thought two years ago that by now we would have 12 to 16 TB external 20 to...

Can someone help me out here on the power problems that went on for the past year? "The unit includes a 12VHPWR connector." Good, but weren't all of those modified with 2x6 connections on the GPU end and the PSU end with an updated 12VHPWR connection with sorter pins and a more firm and stable...
