If the flash device doesn't show up in disk management, it's most likely failed electronically(either the controller or flash memory). It will cost between 800 and 1500 dollars to recover and even then, due to the nature of flash memory, you won't get all your data back(85-90% at best). The...

I hope you realize that you have a greater than 25% chance that the RAID will fail during rebuild with this configuration. NEVER USE CONSUMER HARD DRIVES FOR BIG RAIDS! Don't rebuild it. Get a new 3TB Hard drive for $150 and transfer the data. You will have faster write times on a single hig...

ctvWhat did Toms use to measure boot times with? I'd say you'd be wrong. Sanforce driven is boot or cache drive only and OCZ is the worst offender. Unless you're okay with a 3-5% chance for data loss, then go ahead and store your files there.

Interesting article seeing as it's completely irrelevant to anybody. The chance that someone will be writting 100% compressible data with at Q1 in the real world is exactly 0%. In fact, you will never see ayone anywhere writing real data with a compressible to incompressible ration which yield...
