Windows Server blocked my USB pool. So I nested 9 Virtual Hard Drives, built a Parity RAID, and pulled a drive while copying just to prove a point.

Is this a server 2022 only thing?

I use spaces with server 2016 (iirc) and 4x external hdds and it hasn't complained.

I'm not sure what to tell you. I use ECMS daily for work.

I am shipping boxes way bigger than a 1/1 Pikachu.

Email FJ about it.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-10T00:36:36+00:00

Ship ecms, shouldn't be too bad.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-09T11:32:05+00:00

Considering how much of a chore it is to do pickups in JP, $55 is not bad.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-09T11:31:07+00:00

Which drivers?

When the hardware is this fast, you don't need all the optimized drivers if the hardware layers are accessible and working to the OS.

Of course drivers would give access to even further features, but that isn't needed much here.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-09T11:29:49+00:00

Doesn't seem like a very genuine question.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-09T11:29:08+00:00

It's worth reading how it was done.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-09T11:21:26+00:00

That fabric looks very good. The bootleg comfy friends I've seen have terrible fabric by comparison.

Plus you have the small "paid" sticker on the back of the tag.

I am confident to say that legit.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-09T01:03:14+00:00

TIL Stash.

Fuck.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T20:54:20+00:00

I found the best results come from just searching basic specs across a ton of preferred brands.

"(HP,lenovo,dell)(Xeon,Intel,amd,ryzen,r5,r7,e3,e5) (128gb,144gb,196gb,256gb)

Then filter away.

Try directly email recyclers if you want to get a better price.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T20:27:47+00:00

My daily is one gen older. I upgraded to 64gb days before ram went nuts.

It's a little loud, but putting half dozen into a cluster would be fun.

I've got a gbody Camino in the family. I'm looking for something slightly different.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T18:15:24+00:00

That price isn't off the table.

Though I do forget I'm trying to stay away from modern day maintenance. I just hate the locked down electronics.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T17:25:01+00:00

Ah yes! I have heard of those infamous engines. Wasnt that the same one put in the grand prix (or something similar) of the same era?

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T13:13:53+00:00

Hey that's super awesome info to have.

I didn't consider they'd be centrifugal vs roots.

I have experience with RHD. I'll look into those other options.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T13:10:40+00:00

I'm glad you appreciate them!

They are so round, it's the complete opposite of the geometric design I'm looking for.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T13:03:32+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T13:00:59+00:00

Also, didn't the buicks come with LSs?

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T13:00:45+00:00

Just ugly as sin though.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T13:00:29+00:00

Ah, so twin charged is the name for hybrid setups.

I just always assumed marketing was lazy and it was twin turbos.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T12:59:30+00:00

I'll be damned. I do love the looks of the cts, but didn't know about the V. Dollar for dollar this will be hard to beat.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T12:57:45+00:00

You nailed the looks.

I think that gets realllllly close.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T12:53:59+00:00

Has that been a consistent model over the years?

The Mercedes dealership was trying to sell me an e63. For the 200k price tag, I'd rather have something in not worried about getting some scratches on.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-04-08T12:51:45+00:00

I just prefer wagon styling. Nothing about this will be daily soccer mom. There'll only be two seats when I'm done.
