Right now I'm preparing for a weekend of setting up and transferring data. I'm not even sure if I'm gonna manage to reinstall my gaming rig this weekend. Lots to do.

It's all chronicled in here if you haven't seen it yet.

Still porn.
Even an old Intel Atom makes me moist if you are overclocking it with exotic cooling. Haha

The i5 8500K is a great chip. It should last the distance.

It's not like it will have any kind of load ever. Its most common task will be taking care of the RAID^^

Speaking of RAID. A lot of good things came together yesterday.

One of my Seagate 3TB drives completely crashed yesterday while transferring stuff to the new storage. Storage spaces did not realize it crashed so it continued to try to load data from the broken drive, which didn't go over well with the explorer. So I restarted the PC and my mainboard told me that one of the drives crashed. I checked Crystaldisk and it couldn't even check the broken drive. Yet in storage spaces Windows marked the drive as OK. So I went to remove the drive physically from the RAID5. AFter that everything went back to normal.

The main takeaways here are:

RAIDs are awesome
Storage Spaces is shit
Seagates are shit

Which basically is just confirmation of things we already know.
