Hey Gator, I tried using the button and it says that the link is expired or invalid. I tried manually typing it into discord as well and got the same result.

Hi Everyone, As some of you may have noticed I've been lurking around lately. Been on vacation this week before the real work starts when I get back. For those who don't know I'm an IT Specialist II which is fancy for help desk/systems analyst. My company is smaller so I wear many hats. I work on analyzing, improving, decommissioning, and integrating systems along with typical help desk stuff. It's a pretty fun job and beats retail any day. How has everyone been? I'm glad to see a lot of the old timers are still here. Also glad ya'll switched to discord (wouldn't mind an invite ) Teamspeak was great but discord is mostly free and the codecs are fairly decent. I've been mainly playing a lot of fantasy MMOs lately mainly Black Desert Online which I've been playing for the last 4 years. In a way I'm kind of burnt out from them. I'm looking forward to the next Battlefield game as I kind of want to get back into shooters. What game is everyone into nowadays? I see Elite Dangerous is pretty popular with ya'll at the moment. I did some research on it and it looks pretty interesting. I'll be around so glad that this community is still together

Interesting shows you can make anything if you put your mind to it. There is this guy here in NY that built his business out of shipping containers.

I tried out Call of Duty Modern Warfare it was pretty fun when it worked now for some reason their last patch broke it good. As for Star Citizen it's a game I followed for a bit but at the time didn't think it was worth it due to its progress. As for Battlefield I haven't tried any of the new ones I wasn't impressed with them. Still waiting for my 2142 remake doubt that will ever happen. I've been mostly playing single player games Witcher 3, Civ V @Decaff , and a game called Black Desert Online it's one of them MMO sissy games you used to joke about @Gator. I'm starting to get tired of it so I might just stop by in Teamspeak and maybe play a real game for once lol. I'm glad to see a good deal of the old group is still together man did we have some fun then. Still remember the day when @GIJOE would get upset in BF2 SF when I would blow his chopper out of the sky with my tank. Yes, I'm finally rid from that Walmart except for grocery shopping I've been in this job for a year and a half now. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer much of a challenge anymore I've learned all that I can time to move up.

Hey Guys, Hope everyone is safe and doing well. It's been rough here in NY with the coronavirus been working from home for the last month now. Just wanted to check in see how everyone is doing. What games is everyone playing these days? @Gator the new site is looking sharp.

Hi everyone, Hope ya'll have been doing great. Things finally turned around for me I don't work for Walmart anymore. I finally made it into IT after 15 years of hell with Walmart. The corporate life is where it's at. They actually respect you here and they treat everyone extremely well. Now, I quite literally get to sit on my ass all day lulz. I'm almost done with school got about another 6 classes to go. I'm aiming for next summer to graduate considering funds hold out. Hope ya'll been having a good time I'll cya around

We didn't get anything up here in NY of course but my friends in the southern states have been texting me pictures of the damage and the amount of storm surge that went into their home. I'm just glad that everyone is safe they all left when the were told to evacuate.

To all my friends in the Florida and Georgia regions please stay safe as hurricane Irma bears down on you.

I saw a video about this its a pretty neat idea its like having an extra large cache for frequently used programs and helps improve boot times for slower HDDs. I have an M.2 NVMe drive so I won't be needing this. The advantage with this is that they are going to be cheap but add quite a bit a performance for HDD based systems.

It's a good possibility it might be if you have a phone try connecting to the net as well and see if you get the same results. It can also be the router too and if its their equipment I wouldn't be surprised.

Here are my results from magician its working pretty good each bench mark gives different results I personally like ATTO. Try running ATTO and see what results you get. I like ATTO because it tests all aspects and you can see where your drive shines. If your overall speed is low then there could be something wrong. Remember those are burst speeds and not too many programs except bench marks are going to take advantage of it. Plus don't bench mark it too much don't wanna kill it. Make sure your drivers are up to date and your firmware as well. Also depends on the motherboard too. There is just so many factors that affect these drives because they use the x4 bandwidth.

Everything loads fast pretty much most my games its less than 10 sec in any loading screen.

If wireless failed as well it could be your router or your ISP blocking ports for gaming. Unfortunately some ISPs will do that.

Installed and here are the results couldn't be happier

G502 is what I use I have no complaints except the software has a memory leak.
