would you recommend the WD red, black or something else if i don't use it 24/7, just as a media storage device and for torrenting (but not 24/7)? i'm looking for the best reliability (and perhaps the better warranty), don't care if the performance is mediocre.

WD black seems louder than red and i do care about noise, but that 5 year warranty tho?? i bought my seagate in 2012 so a 5 year warranty would have covered it

do you reckon a 5-7 platter 6-8 TB drive like WD Black WD6001FZWX 128MB 6TB, WD Red WD60EFRX 64MB 6TB or WD Red WD80EFZX 128MB 8TB would be sensible from a reliability standpoint? the 6-8 TB WD drives still shouldn't have crazy failure rates like the seagate drives?

i'm >>55213228, haven't owned either, but i read that WD red is quiter since it spins at a lower rpm and has anti vibration technology which makes it quieter and more suitable for a multi-drive setup like in a NAS. WD black has better performance though and a longer warranty (5 years vs 3)

red is shit, use blue for quiet and black for performance,but honestly, both wont be louder then your exhaust fan.

Thank you very much. I will definitely look into that.

>>55213566
usually people aren't very sensitive to noise so i wouldn't take the reviews too seriously unless it's by some specialist website like silentpcreview. since you're going for a silent pc i'd recommend the WD red. my hunch is the performance wouldn't be too bad at all, you could look at benchmarks or rely on the SSD for anything performance critical.

You're most likely only seeing the vocal consumers who are crying RAPE.
Any drive can fail at any given time. It could die 1 second in to being plugged in or 10 years down he road.

Red is shit,blue and black are basically the same,the same rpm, one us just at a higher density, meaning less thrashing of the head=less noise

Hey /g/, it's this guy (>>55213355) again, and I'm running into a similar error ("Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code = 1, address = 0xffffffe8) ")

From the looks of it, it seems to me that there's something not right with how I'm doing the outputFile operation. When I replace outputFile with "cout", the code runs as expected, but I don't know what's causing the error with the outputFile

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {

std::ifstream inputFile("/Users/ricardoiglesias/Desktop/DemoFile.txt");

std::ofstream outputFile("/Users/ricardoiglesias/Desktop/SortedListOfPokemon.txt");

const int SIZE = 718;
string pokeStringArray[718]; //718 entries
int sortedIndex;
char sortChar = 'A';
string tempIndexString = "";

int counter = 0;
if(inputFile)
{
while(std::getline(inputFile, pokeStringArray[counter]))
{
counter++;
}
}
//Attempt to create a radix sort
while(sortChar < 'Z')
{

for(int i = sortedIndex; i < 718; i++)
{
if(pokeStringArray[i].at(0) == sortChar)
{
//Switches the positions of the sortedIndex'th term with the i'th term

tempIndexString = pokeStringArray[sortedIndex];
pokeStringArray[sortedIndex] = pokeStringArray[i];
pokeStringArray[i] = tempIndexString;

sortedIndex++;
}
}
cout << "SORT INDEX AT " << sortedIndex << endl;
cout << "DONE WITH CHARACTER " << sortChar << endl;
sortChar++;
}
for(int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++)
{
outputFile << pokeStringArray[i] << endl;
}

outputFile.close();
inputFile.close();
cout << "Done \n";
return 0;

i might get a HGST deskstar NAS 4 TB drive but it's really hard to decide. it only has a 3 year warranty but the price per GB is good and based on backblaze stats and reviews they seem super reliable (hard to know which specific part number is good though but hopefully all of them are good). i'd prefer a 6 TB drive but it seems safer to go with a more proven 4 TB drive so i don't fall into the same trap as i did with the 3 TB seagate drive. is a NAS drive like this unsuitable for torrenting though? anyone here using HGST drives?

So basically I got a new PC with a Gigabyte Z77-D3H mobo.
This thing is seriously giving me issues; plugging in a network card in either of the PCI slots causes my PC to completely freeze (sometimes before boot even).
Same thing happens if I use all 4 RAM slots, so I have to resort to using a single dual channel.
All these components used to work fine, I've tried multiple different brands, frequencies etc of RAM and it makes no difference, my PC just eats shit within ~1 minute of turning it on, no matter what

What the fuck do I do? Is this manageable? Do I just fuck it and get a new mobo? I can cope okay with a USB network adapter and 2x4GB RAM but it makes me feel like such a cuck and I need to get this shit out of my life. Help me senpaitachi

compare against WD red 6 TB WD60EFRFX which so far has a 5.31% annual failure rate... holy shit i might have dodged a bullet there

When this is the case, the password can't be reset, the account can't be escalated for a password reset etiher and you've lost all your purchases, gamerscore / achievements and what not.

SCSI is not a literal connector with (X) pins in (THIS) exact config, its a standard. ATA is a set of extended standards designed for HDDs using SCSI defined command sets. SCSI also defines standards for USB HDDs, parallel ports among MANY other things.

What are some more subtle comparisons I should look for in identifying a good monitor to buy?

Specifically, I'm looking for a 1080p60Hz piece to replace my ancient 1680x1050 setup. My preferences are an IPS monitor at $150 or less after shipping and taxes (live near NYC). I've heard that Acer, Asus, and Dell are the brands of choice. Is all that enough to narrow it down to whatever's cheapest that fits those criteria, or are there other major factors worth considering?

it's the same concept, but a seedbox is a vps, not a vpn iirc.

it's great for torrents, especially if you're on a private tracker (for seeding). you can even stream movies directly to vlc or kodi and they're usually downloaded within seconds.

but you can only use it for torrenting, nothing else. with a vpn you could browse anonymously as well, but the downside is that you're still torrenting with your local internet connection, which usually has shit upload for seeding files.

if you want a seedbox, i'd recommend whatbox.ca, with the NL servers. if you get a copyright notice from a public tracker, you just have to delete the file from their servers within 24 hours (you can still download it) and that's it. can't help you with that vpn, though. sorry.

The 480 is an extremely good value high performance card, and with $800 you should have a decent enough PC that nothing would be a large bottleneck on it.

How do I decide between at 13.3" and 15.6" laptop. I will be taking it with me to school/work/traveling so I'd like it to be portable but it will be my main workstation for a few months coming up as I travel. My budget of around 1k CAD is limiting me, or I'd get an XPS 15.

The smaller form factor offers me more for the price, better screen, etc. with a hit on the GPU but I don't really plan to game on it outside of old rpgs. But jesus that seems like a small screen.

15.6" gets me a bigger screen and I could play games if I want, but the screen quality is honestly a big turn off.

powercolor hd 4850 1GB

shitty samsung 1080p monitor that I'm not don't to upgrade for at least another year.

I was thinking of getting another hard drive, and spending $30-40 for 8GB, and just ride this bitch until it dies.

Or should I save the dough and use it for a new computer later this year of early next year. The whole reason this is coming up is my memory seems to be going bad, and giving me weird errors here and there. So it's either $35 to do a slight upgrade to 8GB and another hard drive that would go into another computer anyways so I'm not even factoring that into the cost.

could be how the program tests random reads
if it's randomly reading the file it created for writes, then that file will have been cached in memory on the server

You have to weigh cost vs what you need.

Expensive SSD's like intel dc 3700's feature thinks like big capacitors so they can ignore most flushes, and write durability and rivals hdd's. They interface well with both hardware and software raid, have few bugs, and top performance in terms of latency and bandwidth.

If you are looking for throwaway for a laptop/desktop, then get a cheap generic ssd. It will beat a generic 5400rpm hdd at any spec besides space.

Ableton uses up to 5 cores when rendering and it could also improve latency in the DAW. It's a 32 bit app (lol idk), so it only uses up to 4GB of RAM. So I preferred a hexacore to a dual-core for this purpose, although I hear that the Skylake i3 is still beastly even with 2 cores. More cores should equal faster audio rendering speeds though. Is the AMD FX-6300 just something to avoid though?

Also, if I followed every bit of y'alls advice of your advice, this would cost at least $150 more, probably lol. I only want medium settings on Skyrim, just something playable. Performance in my DAW with multiple VSTs open (virtual instruments) is most important for me.

an i3 still has 4 threads man

AM3+ is pretty much dead unless you really need 8 threads for cheap new

the i3 would cost about the same, and the 460 would cost the same as what's there


or better yet wait for AM4, it should be out soon anyways, and then you don't even need a GPU for gaming and you can upgrade to zen later
>>
>>55217744
it's better to have fewer faster cores than more slower cores, and amd cores are not equivalent to intel cores, pairs of amd cores share FPU units while intel cores each have their own FPU unit, and intel cores are just better overall, so audio processing could be better even with a dual/quad core intel cpu vs a hexa core amd cpu
>>
>>55217769
Also I would do it like "check if output is there", "delete if it's there", "create new blank file", "spew shit in there".

Always do it like this unless I use C# or Java, they both have very comfy IO libraries that hold your hand.

In general, is now the time to wait? Would prices just drop on this equipment after the new generation of AMD motherboards and GPUs are released?

>>55217780
oh yeah I get the moar cores meme but for rendering audio moar cores would theoretically be more optimal. I've seen some builds with that AMD octacore made for music production.

It's much much faster, and the GPU can run games at 1080p on low-medium. Well, not fucking Witcher 3, but it does run them.

It's plenty enough.

Seedboxes 99% give you an SFTP access which allows you to grab files, so you don't have to VPN. Even if you used HTTP to grab files, no one monitors those.

I owned seedboxes, but meh. It's not really worth it. Most trackers - even private ones don't need them really. For What/Waffles for example, you cannot seed, even with a seedbox.

Also if you really want a seedbox, just buy a Kimsufi server. It's piss cheap, and it's yours totally. It's awesome. (Like an Intel Atom with 1tb hdd.)

> In general, is now the time to wait?
No. And no.
The current generation price will drop, yes, but son, you are not building a build bot that will use all threads / cores 0-24.

So no matter what you do, a better single core perf is always better, like an i3, i5, whatever.

Just no. There is no benchmark, no numbers, nothing. Of course, you can wait it out. But, you can always wait, lol. New and better processors will always come.

It may have some water in it.
But that is no permanent damage.
Take it apart, put it in a dry place, let it dry for days.

Try again later.
(If you have a fan, a normal one, point it at it.
But, my ThinkPad took like 2 days to dry before starting up.)

Good ruck.

IF it's a plastic piece of shit, like most cheap laptops, you need a plastic pryer (or more) to get it properly apart. Metal WILL fucking break the edges, flaps, everything.

I use the ones sold on ebay for 1$ or less.
It's a big pack of plastic pryers, takes like 2 minutes to take apart my g750.
Previously it took me about 3-5 hours to do no damage.

Also if you have warranty, do NOT take it apart.
Take out the HDD bay cover or whatever you can, open CD tray, let in as much as air as possible. And then, just like previous tip, wait.

Even if zen isn't 40% faster than bulldozer, AMD won't be charging $1000 for 8 core 16 thread CPUs

>>55217769
Also, just began learning about vectors, and coming from someone who's only programming experience comes from Java, it's like fucking heaven. All of the flexibility you wish you could have, and more!

But everything's working perfectly!


One last thing, /sqt/, if I were to do a radix sort for a list of strings (arranging them alphabetically), would you recommend using vectors instead of arrays?
>>
>>55217923
Who the fuck needs a 16 thread CPU in a desktop?
I mean if you need it, you can afford a Xeon and a dual CPU motherboard.
IF you don't, then you don't.

It's not like any sane person uses that 300W housefire AMD CPU either.

>>55217928
For studying, arrays are fine.
Otherwise, always use vectors.

Also look up "Boost" for C++, and basically learn about what std can do. They help a LOT with C++, so you don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Like Apache libs for Java.

Qt is also very nice to look into later on, as it also gives you I/O and all kinds of shit. Even cross-platform GUI.

Ps.: Do try to set that Netbeans + Clang setup I said. I just used an Ubuntu Virtual Machine, put JDK on it (google "jdk ppa ubuntu"), and unzipped a netbeans. Then installed clang, and boom.

The point is more that it won't be $1000 to buy just the chip, probably anyways.

Then an FX 8300 with that ASrock board earlier if you don't care about per core performance, and don't want to spend extra for a Xeon 1231v3 + decent 1150 board

the Xeon itself is $240 ish, same price as the FX 8 core + a decent motherboard

And you got your answer.
Trust me, if you don't spend now, you will regret it.
A CPU is the most important part of your PC.
Especially if you develop, use your computer proper, etc.

So yes, DO spend that extra dollar.

And no one cares about brands.
If AMD had some very powerful CPU right now, everyone would recommend it, simple as that.
We did recommend Athlon, Phenom, because they were good.

If Zen will become the next hit, we will recommend that to everyone. Same for the RX480 and so on. Who cares about the brand, these are multi-billionaire megacorporations, fucking lol.

What's a good hard-surface mouse pad under $50? I use a UTechsmart Venus (Laser mouse, it was lile $25 and it's been great). Most of what I find burns off feet or pops apart from itself and becomes wavy. (50 dollars because thats what the Razer Firely is, it's the only consistently well reviewed pad but they trimmed it with rgb LEDs to jack up the price)

look at benchmarks, you might be surprised, i don't have a particular benchmark in mind but iirc even the best amd cpu can barely compete with i3/i5
>>
>>55217964
even for a low budget "rendering" build you should prioritize single core performance, but really you should just cough up a couple hundred dollars to get a great intel cpu, a pc is not something you buy every day, if you're gonna buy one then get one with a good cpu, otherwise you may as well stick to using your laptop

fx 8300 should be less shit than fx 6300, but notice how it's overclocked to 4.4 GHz, and he said it was very hard to get it to 4.4 GHz, you're gonna need a $50+ aftermarket cooler for that and its lifespan will be significantly reduced, and e.g. the adobe premiere pro cc render test it's dead even

and in the single core geekbench 3 the i3 has fucking double the score, while the multi core bench (which is not representative of real world programs) the percentual difference is not that great

He overclocked both the i3 and the FX-8300 to their max. They both coincidentally got to 4.4ghz, it wasn't intentional.
>>
and the power consumption is probably much better on the i3, the electricity bill for the cpu and air conditioning adds up, or if you don't pay for electricity it's still going to heat up your room significantly
>>
>>55218740
well you seem to have made up your mind to be AMDelusional, go ahead and buy those parts what are you asking us for
>>
>>55218743
Say you ran it at max power for 6 hours a day every day, the difference in operating cost of electricity in New York (one of the highest in the USA) would be $12 per year.
>>
>>55218785
if you overclock it, the power consumption goes through the roof

and you're already cheaping out on your build, why would you be willing to spend more on electricity for the same or worse performance (fucking look at that adobe premier pro cc render benchmark), you could take that $12 times 3-5 years and get a better cpu
>>
>>55218662
>>55218581
I can hit 4.5ghz on 1.4xxv on the better asrock board I posted earlier

also mail in rebates are BS
>>
and you'd spend extra on air conditioning to compensate for the heating unless you live on the north pole or something
>>
>>55218816
It would be about the same as compensating for 2 bright fluorescent bulbs.
>>
>>55218838
what are you even arguing for, why not just buy your amd shit and stop wasting everyone's time including your own
>>
>>55218851
I'm just pointing out the difference in power consumption isn't that significant
I have a 4590k my self, its not like I'm against getting Intel, I just think if you're going to make arguments about something its good to put it in real world terms.
