A simple search on newegg revealed these two add-in cards:
PCI express to 2x NVME: https://www.newegg.com/riitop-model-dul-m2tpce4x-pci-express-controller-card/p/17Z-0061-00056
PCI express to SATA: https://www.newegg.com/syba-sy-pex40039-sata-iii/p/N82E16816124045
I haven't used either...
I'm a bit in the same boat. I'd like 2xM2 plus as many SATA ports as I can get. Its looking like the Asrock boards are going to be the best option (with 8 sata ports).
If you need another M2 slot, its easy enough to buy an add-in card for $15. A simple add-in card makes a LOT more sense than...
From what I've seen, PCI 4.0 brings almost no benefit to actual application performance - only to synthetic sequential transfers. I have no reason to get too excited about it right now.
Per the AMD documentation, the official supported RAM speed for X570 drops a bit if you are using 4 sticks of ram vs 2 sticks. I've also heard that 4 sticks is more difficult for the memory controller to handle than 2 sticks.
I'm looking at a new build and I want 32GB of ram - which is...
Pull the laptop's hard drive and use a USB to 2.5" hdd reader and see how much of the data you can pull off the drive onto a good computer. I would not try to recover the data off the hard drive while it's still in the busted laptop.
I might still do that. A few users have reported issues with the drives disconnecting themselves and getting "lost" in the enclosure during extended transfers while using "Green" drives. Others suggest they are fine. I'll do some more research before purchasing.
The more pressing issues at...
I have this compact flash card and it's capable of 60-70MB/s read, easily. I use mine hard and have seen no decrease in speed over the past couple years. I also use a Kingston USB 3.0 reader with mine and regularly get 90MB/s+ with the right card - so USB 3.0 isnt likely to be the issue...
I'm looking to consolidate 4 external hard drives into a single 4-bay JBOD enclosure. I plan on filling it with (4) 3TB WD Red drives. I don't need RAID, only individual disk access to each of the four drives over USB 3.0 or E-SATA. These won't be running 24/7. I'll only turn them on to back...
I've got a weird problem that has recently cropped up. My computer cannot boot with a (non-boot) WD Black HDD plugged into the motherboard.
I've been running this setup for a while now (18 months) with no issues, but now, all of a sudden the computer refuses to boot from the SSD with the WD...
Thanks for the links guys. Although the fanless industrial systems look awesome, thats probably a bit out of the budget. Something more along the lines of the Newegg prebuilt systems would probably be more in line.
