Never got this going, just kept the one M.2 drive in then end.

I've acquired two more SSD drives for my system and wondered what the best way to set these up for performance when editing video and photos. Below is my current setup Samsung Pro 950 250gb M.2 SSD - OS and Applications Samsung Pro 850 EVO 250gb SSD - Working Files photo and video WD My Book...

Just had the electrician in he said the cable is grounded, that metal piece within the space is the ground. This cable was within the corsair box and is a standard cable for this region of the world. What I need to know though is why this surge/spike/short that killed my motherboard and blew...

You mean that the cable they sent me should have had 3 pins and one is missing? I'm currently living in the middle east with work (Qatar) here everything is 3 pin however I built my PC with parts from Dubai where they use 2 pin. I've already bought a 3 pin power cable for when the new mother...

And the motherboard costs $500 where I live.

Sorry I meant the mains point is two pin and I've had it going into a 3 pin adaptor which has then been going into a longer extension hub. Non of them were surge protected just your regular ikea extension cables (i know retarded right). Here is a picture of the black power cable and the white...

Sorry what's a UPS? Thank you

So very recenty I had a front USB blowout when I tried to attach my Drobo harddrive, which has resulted in me killing my Asus X99 Delux II motherboard (see post: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3333383/turning.html). Now as I await the arrival of my new mobo (and crossing my fingers...

It's the Mother Board. Just got the pc back from the repair place and they've said the power unit is ok as it basically locked up however the mother board is unresponsive. I've just ordered a replacement X99 however I would like to ask the following A) what's the chances the cpu/gpu etc are...

Well took it to the pc repair guy and the psu is definitely shot, he's going to take a look at it and see if he can get it up and running. If it is the mother board what's the chances everything connected to it including the cpu, gpu etc are also screwed? If it is the mother board will I be...

Could the original spark/short happened because of the actual mains plug? The PC mains plug is a two pin type 16amps 250V however the extension adaptor to allow me to add it to a 3 pin input is 13amps 250v. Is this possibly where the issue has occured originally?

Tried removing the front usb port but no joy unfortuantely. I'm taking it to a pc repair company in the morning and have them check the psu and see what happens. I'm praying it's just a simple swap out of the psu, but if it is friend whats the chances other components have also had it? This...
