August 27, 201114 yr I will during dinner. I wonder if you can use the HDD for SRT cos that would fly. The blue seems to be faster than the VRap in the read/write but I wonder on the rest. Off to make some videos, practice makes perfect and thats what I need with my videos cos they are pretty lame. Got Sony Vegas and I have inserted that external HDD so Fraps should run a little better.Q quick question which I should probably put in the FSX forum but where has my Direct X 10 preview option gone, its disappeared.

August 27, 201114 yr Yeah. The 150GB SATAII Vraps were never that good. Is that the SATAIII Cav Blue? It would be nice to see the benchmarks compared to a Cav Black 64MB and a 600GB SATAIII VRap Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 27, 201114 yr its a SATA III one yes. 1TB and I think I might actually be getting an SSD after I buy the monitor. Weather its for SRT or stand alone I don't know.Maybe more RAM would be a better choice. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.

August 27, 201114 yr I think the monitor is a definite for you haha Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 27, 201114 yr Yes very. We are getting a 3D 46" Sony LED, I will hook it up to that occasionally. I have the money for the SSD as well its just a question of which one. I do like the idea of speeding up the whole system with SRT but having 60GB of full speed storage would be nice. I think SRT only uses 40GB so i get 20GB of quick storage anyway.

August 27, 201114 yr But either way, the SSD is still faster than SRT, even though SRT is pretty quick.

August 27, 201114 yr yes it is now my PC is on but no image on the monitor. I had it on then walked away and its gone, ahhh, whats happened. I will try another port.

August 27, 201114 yr I accidently flicked the power switch on the PSU when I was around the back plugging monitors in. Now I boot and it says resuming windows then goes to a flashing white line. What do I do!I don't know why it says resuming windows when the power to the system was completely cut off.Can not get into windows at all! Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.

August 27, 201114 yr fixed, just ran the repair thing on windows 7 disc. I need to recommend to corsair to have some sort of safety thing on the power cord and switch cos I have come too close to it nearlt three times now.

August 27, 201114 yr It's a gismo. To try and make out it has these new features. Marketing ploy. The fastest SATA hard drives we have are ~550MB/s SSDs. SATAII is 3GB/s. Um, No. 3Gb/s (Giga bits / sec) thats 300MB/s (Mega Bytes / sec): With a native transfer rate of 3.0 Gbit/s, and taking 8b/10b encoding into account, the maximum uncoded transfer rate is 2.4 Gbit/s (300 MB/s) Mechanical drives can't take advantage of SATA III. SSD's can
August 27, 201114 yr Ok its all fine but something a little alariming. You know how there can be that little tick on shitdown, just before all the fans turn off, I heard it in windows but there was no shutdown, any ideas?

August 27, 201114 yr I accidently flicked the switch. It did something to the HDD I had to repair but now it seems fine. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
