Amazing. Makes me want to build a new computer for fun. I need to locate some disposable income.

**Pikarya** · 2009-03-10 03:01

Just as a note, Samsung paid in full for this rig. (So yeah its semi-viral marketing) but who gives a shit lol. This is awesome.

2000MB/sec sustained oh gawd, everything is practically running as fast as if it was in ram

**Blabj** · 2009-03-10 08:50

$500-600 per drive. That's a lot of money just to be able to load office a bit faster and have around 50 programs open...

Thats a fucking understatement. You take that back good sir.

Alright, yeah it is a fucking lot of money for something terribly unreasonable to an everyday consumer or business setting.

But you have to take into consideration this is the beginning of where technology is currently going. To be honest, in 10+ years from now I think I'd be scared shitless to see where everything is heading. This is just a prime example.

Yeah there's no doubting it's an incredible feat, but this is more useful for rendering 3D movies or HD video editing and compositing, than it is for typing office documents or running crysis.

One or two SSDs sure, if you're rich, but 6tb of them is mental!

Plus, I'm guessing the reason he said they were good for Crysis was because of how quickly they could read textures from the disks, and render it, since I'm assuming that they use some pretty hefty HD res textures.

Its interesting during testing they had to remove one of the 4870's because it was pulling too much power from the raid controller. But it ended up being a motherboard limitation due to the passive voltage. In the end, it was a basic skulltrail lol.

Let's pretend he meant this computer runs the whole office, not the program office.

**Stiker** · 2009-03-10 10:28

DO. FUCKING. WANT. Holy shit. Anyone got a few thousand dollars lying around?

**zoobernut** · 2009-03-10 10:36

Wow is all I can say...

**Ratatapa** · 2009-03-10 19:24

i want

**Araelus** · 2009-03-10 19:30

The rig also appears to have two CPU coolers in it. Nice.

Best part is how they need another power supply outside of the tower.

**The_OG_Nelta** · 2009-03-10 19:53

Can someone post full specs of the rig?

**Kohan** · 2009-03-10 19:57

Stop bumping this thread, or I'm going to spend my next paycheck in ways I shouldn't.

Do additional drives improve the speed of the RAID, or was that just for a 6TB capacity?

**Blubbartron** · 2009-03-10 21:10

In a RAID the data is spread throughout all the drives. The more drives you spread it out on, the more you can pull data from simultaneously. So yes, more drives = higher speeds.

**viperlasson** · 2009-03-10 22:51

it seems it can run crysis on high. wait, what? :O
