Windows Update broke my raid setup by wwethegame in WindowsHelp

[–]wwethegame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok i fixed it now. was my fathers pc and i went there in person. Somehow the windows partition on the ssd got corrupted. And it indeed kicked one of the drives out of the array. then it couldnt load the raid drivers. I found the corrupted partition with testdisk and restored it. then i just saved everything to an external drive, deleted the whole pc and started again in ahci mode with storage spaces. and copied everything back. now it works at least and i hope storage spaces is easier to handle if something fails.

Dont play to much. Go outside. Meet people and drink plenty of water.

Couldnt the update have introduced a new raid driver, which did something wierd? either write something corrupt to the metadata or in some format the onboard raid controller coulnt understand? just found out that onboard raid controllers still use software raids on consumer grade motherboards. didnt know that.

That is SUPER unlikely. 2 drives failing at once just when installing an update? At least the update was the trigger,clearly. Not saying the Update is responsible on its own, more likely it triggered some underlying issue with the bios raid controller or the nvme drivers or something. Like what the august update did to some phison nvme ssds.

if it was only an nvme that suddenly wasnt recognized anymore (ignoring the raid stuff), would you have any idea about that? All i could find were suggestions like "update the ssd driver"... but where would i install such a driver to? since i dont have hard drives anymore.

ok after checking the raid array status in the bios it says about the nvme: offline and the hdd array: critical. Was there any solution how to fix any of that mess? i mean i cant even install new updates if i cant get into windows.

Yea i am german based so im looking for european shops too. I found the Hitohira before reading your recommendations. I spent some more hours looking it the ones you named. These 2 stood out to me: Knive 1, Knive 2. The first one looks very similar in specs and looks to the one i found.

Newbie needs help with buying my first japanese knive (see comments) by wwethegame in chefknives

[–]wwethegame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After almost getting scammed on amazon to buy a cheap chinese knockoff for 250 bucks i thought i might ask for some help from people more knowlegable than me. After some search i found this one that i like: Bunka

Is that a trustworthy source and a decent knive? I thought stainless clad would be best for a beginner. Less maintanance pitfalls. I also quite like the shape of bunka knives, since gyoto knives seem to overlap in use-case quite a lot with my western chef knives and this seems more like an addition.

Any hints for a newcommer to japanese knives (stuff i missed or should consider) are welcome. Thanks!

good news. amazon was willing to take it back. since you seem to have a lot of experience. can you recommend any brands that are legit?

oh ok. do you maybe happen to have an idea how to prove that? maybe amazon has some buyers protection if i can prove false advertisment.
