Not with that card.

That aside, are the hard drives RAID configured?

Awesome. I especially liked your line "i know its the best thing anyone has ever seen" .

Wish I could share mine... but it's on the other side of the Atlantic and I'm missing it dearly!

no they are not i do a lot of hot swapping so i did not want to raid them only the drives i store my games on are in raid 0 and with the new drives i put in recently my cable management is even more of a fire hazard im a computer tech so i like working on other peoples stuff but my own i can care less if it breaks i can annoyingly fix it

You know that there's no fault tolerance with RAID 0?

Failure of one drive, will cause the entire RAID to also fail. On the upside, It has excellent performance.

Not bad. I would recommend exploring some cable management solutions.

Nice PC, probably still have a few years left in that processor before it starts to be bogged down I'd imagine, although a GTX 1060 is starting to become a little dated. I had one and just upgraded to a used GTX 1070 that I got for a steal, although I switched to 1440p at the same time so I needed it. Out of curiosity, what do you boot into Android for that Linux couldn't already do for you?

yes thats why i only use it for my game library and i would do stripe with parity if i cared but i like having storage capacity mirror is a waste of time for me

i just got a 1080 for free so thats my new upgrade in a few days and i agree with the processor im going to be upgrading board and cpu soon thinking i9 or 10th gen i7 and you know there are viruses for android, thats all i can share on the subject. but my boots are win 10pro, android distro, arch linix, and kali.

It makes perfect sense.

There's no right or wrong, but rather based on one's overall usability.
