The Asus website's description of the motherboard says to consult the good vendor list available on the website to ensure memory compatibility with the mobo. The kit you're offering is not advertised to be compatible with this motherboard. I'm looking for an approved vendor list (GVL) for RDIMM...

The marketing for this motherboard says it can accommodate up to 2048GB (2TB) of RDIMM memory, but the memory compatibility list on the Asus website (support tab of the product description page) only lists up to 128GB configurations and doesn't seem to include ANY RDIMM compatibilities. My...

Ok, got it. Thanks guys.

I have two Rocket 4+ PCIe 4.0g2 M.2 SSDs installed in a system with (4) M.2 slots. Both of my existing R4+ SSDsare showing SMART errors telling me the SSDs are degraded and should be replaced. Since they contain mission-critical data, obviously my intention is to replace the critical drives...

Thanks for the link. I read the article, but it seems pretty clear it's not relevant to this situation. The article is about all the good reasons it makes much more sense to just get a single 1TB SSD instead of (2) 500GB SSD's RAIDed together. Please enlighten me, @Darkbreeze. What's an example...

Thanks for the reply but I don't understand your logic. Writing the same amount of data to two (or three) drives in parallel has to be faster than writing that same data to just one drive. The performance of my Sabrent Rocket RAID array at 6500 MB/s seq read exceeds the rated performance of any...

Dell Precision 7760 super high-end laptop. Accommodates up to 4 M.2-2280 SSDs. The first one is the system boot drive; the other 3 are available for creating a RAID0 array. Original configuration: (2) Sabrent Rocket 4tb m.2 SSD's RAID0'd together to create a 2-SSD 8tb volume that consistently...

No rotating HDDs on this system. All storage is M.2 NVME. Because the graphic resolution of the charts is much better at higher resolution. The reason the text has to be upsized is simply that the monitors are farther from my eye than a usual desktop setup. The point of mentioning the...

Yes, it's an old card and I'd love to upgrade to something "modern". But the only way to support even my current 16-monitor configuration would be with three new 6-mDP cards. My mobo can accommodate 3 double-high cards. I just might need to add more cooling fans. But if 3 cards don't all work...

I tried using DP daisy-chaining and quickly concluded it is only useful for connecting low-res monitors. I'm pretty sure I tried this in the early days of DP1.2, and it just didn't work with 4K or even 2K resolution. I suppose it's plausible that with DP2.0 they might have increased the max...

I'm trying to gain a better understanding of which features of high-end graphics cards are actually useful/relevant to my application. This is challenging because all the advertising and product literature is mostly focused on the gaming market which is not relevant to me. I seek advice on which...

Hmm... I don't have a 4GB flash drive, but I have sufficient parts to make a 1TB USB *disk* drive. Is there any reason the flash drive deployment option wouldn't work from a bootable external USB HDD? THanks, xPat

I'm not sure the hardware specifics are even relevant, but just in case, this happeend trying to install Win7 Pro from the retail CD on an Asus P9X79-E WS mobo from a LG Blu-ray Combo Drive Model UH12NS29. The P9X79-E WS is set to RAID mode and the target system device is a RAID0 array...

Trying to install Win7 and get "A required CD/DVD driver is missing", which is covered in another thread here. The resolution given was to change the SATA controller mode from AHCI back to IDE. But I can't do that because my intention is to install Win7 on a RAID array - so I have to keep my...
