Except almost nobody buys them, even last years for 10 bucks each. That's almost useless ECC Reg memory for HPE Gen 8 servers and workstations (from before late 2015 / start of 2016 with the introduction of the Gen9 using DDR4). E

Yep. Don't expect to sell those sticks on ebay at great price. Those new chips will be likely soldered to appliances like low end routers/APs, set top boxes, various adapters, low end systems, PLCs, IPBX, NVRs and various embedded

Not surprised ownership is not cheap in the US. West EU here, bought a new, architecturally wrong (yikes) house in 2012. I knew its conception would spell trouble, and sadly I was not disappointed on this part almost right off the bat. But

Well, SAS disk tend to go in failed state immediately or very quickly, most of the time without going first through the warning state. SATA disk are indeed generally more predictable failure-wise. Most issues are related to a failing head s

Hi, I believe you are quite new to workstation/hardware admin. Lots of things to say here (not native english speaking so basic style, sorry for that) : Disk errors logged in the system event log are from the I/O layer, low-level

Arrr. Here's the monthly dose of low self-esteem for all those who struggle to get anything worthwhile done. Currently working on figuring how you get motivated and competent enough as I browse various link from this thread.

I wrote the BX500 ils easier to find than the MX500, not that it is better. Obviously the BX is worse than the MX, having no SLC cache.

Agreed, the first gen MX500 with M3CR023 fw proved IMHO to be the second most reliable SATA SSD 2.5" form factor with the Samsung 860 range SSDs (860 Evo / Pro). Sadly, the MX500 is now difficult to find in western europe. Only lo

Very sad news. Crucial Micron is (soon "was") an great brand for computer assembly and upgrade. It is sad to see the brand rushing to the "easy money" stream. This won't be forgotten when the current bubble will ev
