Should be fine, quite a few reports that it works no issues with the stock PSU. I've got a 1050ti LP in a similar Optiplex 790 SFF, which…

> so RAID5 would have covered me perfectly Just had to jump in here to say, don't use RAID 5 with multi-TB drives. You may only lose 1…

Just the other day I also had a bad experience with another of Tech Century's aliases, 'oztech' on the Amazon AU marketplace. Gee, I wonder…

Yes, it will support m.2 sata as well as m.2 pcie nvme. Page 18 of the setup and specifications document.

According to [TechPowerUp](https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Crucial/BX500_480_GB/) these are TLC, not QLC. Early speculation was they…

I think you mean it doesn't work with FTTN (Fibre to the Node) NBN. AKA crappy Liberal copper NBN. As has been pointed out above, you need…

Seconded, I'd love a deal on the Archer C9 please rep!

Hmm... looks like the store might have corrected their page, when I search the model number in staticice, the JW result also comes up as a…

Well spotted - its not a 280X, title needs to be fixed.

You probably won't get much more raw internet speed by upgrading your modem/router. The distance from your house to the exchange and the…

I don't think he is, but the reps have frequented posts not made by them in the past..

Don't need the modem, any chance of a deal on the C9 rep?

Samsung's HDD business was purchased by Seagate in 2011. Also, it's model number ST2000LM003 gives it away as a Seagate drive. Strange that…

Yep - in fact I think this product is almost the only way to get hold of the ST2000LM003 drive - it doesn't seem to be widely available to…

I bought 2 of these from Amazon last time they dropped to this price. IIRC the packaging was OK, and the drives work fine (so far). Just…

Can we get this price in store? Is there a qty limit per customer?

Dunno about the voodoo powers, 5 years warranty over 2 is worth the extra 20 bucks IMO though.

Any reason the 79** are in so much demand when the R9 280X is essentially the same card??

I assume he meant 'Cue the oil comments' ;)

Was waiting for this to show up on GMG. Thanks for the post!

Kudos to GMG for doing something, at least. Still not buying any 2K games though.

A quick check of the Castrol website says this is the right stuff to use. You'll need 4.3L, so one bottle should do nicely. Being fully…

Maybe you should do some research before posting uninformed comments? [Real world…

It it out of warranty? When my U2408 got a blue line down the screen, Dell sent me a brand new U2410 to replace it a few days later. Love…

Well if you wanted to chance it, you could order one and the make them honour the model code/spec sheet on the website.. would be a bargain…

The 840 Pro is 512GB not 500, and is a fair bit more expensive than that. I think you will find that is a standard 840 (non-Pro) 500GB,…

It's entirely still relevant. The 2TB Seagate Barracuda XT drives I bought a month ago still have an Unrecoverable Read Error rate of 1 in…
