Gibbo ETA for 3900x?

NathG79 · 19 Jul 2019 at 21:10

I have 8 drives ranging from 500gb up to 3tb, and a pci-e nvme ssd for windows 10.

Well then you might just have to do a bit of housekeeping and redownloading. How many games have you got for Pete’s sake?

My bag of old hard drives is getting bigger - need to get around to destroying the old raptors and stuff at some point! Slowly culling my old HDDs and replacing with a couple of SSDs and NVME now on order.

Yep. It seems a shame to build such a cutting edge new Ryzen system and then relying on archaic mech drives for storage.

P.S. @easyrider get your signature fixed.

Will do

Yes but surely you haven’t got more than 6 drives?

You kids are so old school. I have 1x Dell T20 Xeon server and a HP micro server both with 16 TB in the Dell is for storage and the HP backups the Dell

Both running Stablebit Drive pool. Both out out of site. The backup server shares are then backed up to the cloud.

I only have SSD and m.2 in my pcs and laptops. Pretty much nothing is saved locally apart from games and audio projects

Yes. This worries me. I have a two year old boy and a very busy house, I bearly have time to game, let alone tidying drives.
The closest i get to that is using CCleaner.
I have 123 Steam Games.

Yes but you probably record samples of every key, string and drum of the instruments you have at 1024kbps.

You need to consolidate those drives into a storage pool on a home made server and just have a couple of SSDS in your main PC

Tbh the majority is home movies / pictures and important data and automated backups of mobile phones

In my rig

1 x SATA DVDRW optical (admittedly barely used, right now really just for FF7 disc). If this fails it will be replaced with a external USB unit.
2 x SATA SSD combined 1.5tb
5 x SATA HDD, combined 16tb

So yes 8 used

I know external NAS is popular, but to me its more sense just to put storage in my main rig and save the £200-400 or so would need to spend on NAS unit.

On my B450 the 6 SATA ports has already bottlenecked me, I have a spare SATA SSD I have to swap cables to when I want to boot of it.

I have to drop from 8 sata ports on my z97 deluxe to 6 on the x570 Aorus Pro.

I had to do a similar thing having lots of 1TB-3TB drives. I ended getting two 8TB drives. It was the best system change I've done apart from moving OS for HDD to SSD way back when. So much quieter as well!

Plus the cost of selling off my older drives nearly paid for the new drives.

This is what I got back on Friday.

Thank you for your webnote, sorry Garry due to the sheer number of pre-orders we have, we are not going to be able to provide a queue number, but we have enough on order to cover all pre-orders.

What was the expectations to just sell 10 3900X cpu's worldwide? As shipped units is practically zero.

OCUK had hundreds come in with the first week (something like 400 in total). Multiply that by tens of thousands of stores world wide. How many do you think they would have made?

Let's say 10k stores had 200 each in first week. That's 2 million units of 3900X alone.

No such thing as 10k stores that sell relatively niche stuff like a 3900X.
