IMO that is a reasonable question. I do recognize the need. If I want the attention of experts, I should be providing that (as opposed to rambling on about what I think might be ..) I gotcha. As I was telling rgd1101 in a prior response, I simply have not found the best way to do that yet. At...

Even though it turned out that I *don't have a SAS controller, your prognosis is a lot better than mine-- which was, " I was magically running SAS without a SAS controller." :oops: IMO this stuff is difficult to understand if you don't know the evolution and history of all these specs and...

Well, everything I believe is a "Work-in-Progress." I got it now. Thanks.

Thanks, very helpful. I have a SATA controller and SATA drives. The "not-really-a-conversion" you mentioned is likely in this driver: WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\storahci.sys associated with the SATA controller. No more fretting about this. On to the next adventure.

So, for choosing monitors, I deliberated over DisplayPort and HDMI for a long time. I became really suspicious when I noticed the number of "adapter converters" out there for sale. Even now I'm not so sure ever port on a monitor that claims to be DP is actually DP.. One of the things I liked...

Hi, I am so new that I likely don't know how to ask the questions. Apologies in advance. I elected to swap out my graphics card for something more capable. The marketing and sales literature for the GPU I bought said I would need a PCIe slot of the "16" variety, and some number of spare...
