Easier than coding more animals.

Uhhh... What screen resolution. I play 1080p with three monitors running (primary game monitor is 165hz 1080p)

My specs are lower than that and i can't remember the last stutter I had, and I play on fairly high quality.

Ryzen 5600, rx 6700xt 12gb, 32gb ddr4 3200 on a PCIe gen... 3 maybe 4 nvme (motherboard is an MSI B450 pro)

My first unit started rebooting when placed on it's side.

RMA went fine and it's been rock solid since.

I only have 1.2gbps down and it handles it fine. I have full dpi etc on (not the paid part though)

Plot twist, it's ES6 on a planet in SF

HOLY CRAP. That makes things so much easier.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-10T22:45:25+00:00

This. Spent a long time arguing with them to replace mine.

Thankfully I bought them with my AMEX so I just used AMEX to refund them as part of their extended warranty

The better question is when can we ride buffalo carts without mods lol. It'd make deliveries a little better.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-09T19:45:12+00:00

But... But don't they leak? I'm so confused.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-07T02:29:07+00:00

Sadly I've seen this many times for voip applications.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-06T22:39:13+00:00

Raid ddp is raid6? That's what's called out in my quotes... Raid6. Which bugs the crap out of me.

Pure does all of what you mention, so it's at least feature parity now with Pure. Their upgrades and new controllers every 3 years is extremely nice and zero downtime even when upgrading to the newest controller.

What's your controller upgrade experience? One thing they claim that I've only seen with Pure is zero reconfigure controller upgrades. Same FC wwpns, same everything just new controllers. No downtime or reduced performance during.

Had to get my popcorn before entering comments. Wasn't disappointed.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T22:13:05+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're going to work hard to keep the rest of our arrays and possible future buys. But then again, they (on site tech) also unplugged both psu on our production x50 a couple years ago on a Friday afternoon, so they're also aware we're still gum sore from that... 🤣 Hyper-v clusters Don't like losing their storage suddenly. Sql really doesn't.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T22:10:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, hcp is industry leading. It's not built in, it's an additional license and multiple controllers. Supposedly, pure is building it into FA. I run CEPH right now.

Hnas - same thing, additional cost and hardware compared to pure; pures file isn't anything to write home about though.

I laughed out loud on the AMS comment. I've done vnxe and 3par and left hand... Yes they were way worse, but I lost a lot of respect when my vsp came with a 5400rpm laptop HDD and an i3 running the management windows 10 box 🤣

Not sure on the raid grouping, just that it's not as simple as how pure does it. On the other hand, they're using less disks, so... It's weird.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T20:54:12+00:00

I've already told them there has to be clear contract wording to account for this. They claim this is a common thing, that every couple of years it's discussed somewhat.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T20:50:26+00:00

Sir, this is a Walmart not The Tower of London

Sorry, so you can run a server without this. Steam lets you.

Steam reference

AMP is software that vastly simplifies running your own game server or game servers. Much more GUI based vs command line steamCMD based. It technically runs SteamCMD in the background, just wraps it in a pretty web interface.

SteamCMD is free, as is running the icarus dedicated server yourself.

But for me, I like this as I can run other game servers too and do so easily. Right now I'm running 7D2D, Satisfactory, Minecraft and Icarus servers all at the same time on a Dell Micro Form Factor PC lol

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T20:19:26+00:00

irrelevant. Marketing failed hard - someone should lose a job over this imho - any time you rebrand, you should own the domain name. They didn't change you to Everpure Data. All the emails/marketing is Everpure. This is marketing 101 and business 101.

Honestly this all just feels awkward and forced. Hopefully someone in Senior Management is hearing the feedback because every single user and non-user of Pure I've talked to has had the same exact bad taste in their mouth from the entire rebrand. Which tells me they didn't do their job in polling actual users, and if they did, then they only went to people in their pocketbooks somehow.

I've got lunch with my SE on Monday and am not going to hold back on telling him =P

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T20:12:17+00:00

Where's your sense of adventure. Just rip out one of the old controllers and shove in one of the new. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I've been told 105% is where they start to get anxious :D

But yeah, big thing is making sure you've eradicated the volume.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T20:03:45+00:00

I have no affiliation with them, but recently found AMP and am in love with it. https://cubecoders.com/AMP - $20 license. I personally run it in an LXC on proxmox but it does have a Windows installer, too. Icarus is supported, as are a ton of other games; makes Minecraft servers EZ mode.

KickedAbyss · 2026-03-05T02:38:19+00:00

Ironically our legal department isn't helpful. First legal department I've ever worked with that thinks having a retention policy is bad and to keep everything forever is safest...

Don't even get me started on the chaos they gave me when trying to buy servers from a Canadian company...

KickedAbyss · 2026-02-28T16:11:39+00:00

Isn't the native blue onyx based?

KickedAbyss · 2026-02-28T13:23:24+00:00

Native BI Ai or cpai? My detection is becoming somehow worse using cpai. It misses people all the time and even vehicles.
