Workstation class gfx card from 2010. Should be fine in the Z400, which is officially built and ready to go. FirePro V5800

Look at me! I’m Nibby! Could I have anymore hard drives?!

;)

I hope it treats you well. I have nothing but disdain for the FirePros they upgraded us to at work a couple years ago. I miss the old Quadros.

I have one SATA port open... so I could, maybe just tape one drive down to the bottom :D

Thanks. Hopefully it’ll do nicely for me.

Not bad.

I’m running a Radeon 5770. I imagine it is a similar vintage.

One of the benefits of SSDs

Yep, just a few months older. But different uses, yours is a gamer card

Yep. There is an SSD in there, shoved in somewhere.

Yeah. FirePros supported quad buffering in OpenGL, or something like that.

That’s nothing. That’s like... what, two HDD’s and one SSD?

I’m rocking 3, 2TB HDD’s, a 10,000RPM 320GB HDD, and 2, 120GB SSD’s. I actually don’t have a disc drive because I ran out of SATA ports.

We talkin’ about hard drives? Let’s talk about hard drives.

I kind of feel this same thing happens with HDMI ports on receivers:

“When am I going to need more than 4 HDMI inputs?”

Two years later:

“Alright, boys, someone gets the HDMI port, someone gets downgraded to component and SPDIF.”

I cannot even fathom having enough time to consume that much media. I’m assuming it’s media.

Well yeah, on the Media Drive it is. The Games and Mass Storage is mostly Steam Games and OneDrive/Cloud folders, documents, Inventor assemblies, etc.

Altogether there’s got to be 9 storage drives in that picutre, with the C: and E: drives being SSDs, and the D: and Z: drives being RAID arrays.

Now I feel silly. XP

I meant more along the lines of whether that was ~7.5 TB of just personal stuff (regular size pictures, music, etc) or whether it was more professional/hobbyist things (ginormous DSLR photos, video editing, etc). Irrelevant, I suppose. :)
