When I wanted UE4 I got a new laptop it runs really well and it didn’t cost that much for a computer.
As long as the GPU gets power from a 6pin connector then it doesn’t really matter if you using Molex or direct PSU connection, and if the gpu doesn’t fit then get a bigger computer tower, that is normally the case when you buy a big GPU.
The GPU fits fine, runs fine, I’ve ran a few games maxed out, all good.
I’m looking at installing the two hard drives now but need to figure out how to tackle it, if I want to run one off the molex power connecter and the other off a normal power cable.
I looked closer and I’ll probably have to take the GPU out (Again) take the other side off and go from there.
-Sigh, so much fiddling.
Haha sounds like my previous system don’t worry I know exactly how you feel, I have gone through so much modifications in my old case I thought this was never going to end, taking out HDD’s and refitting them because the GPU didn’t fit was just a nightmare and somewhat frustrating, but yeah, look what works for you, rather use the SATA Power-cables because they are less of a hassle then Molex, plus they look neat as well xD
Alright, final piece of the puzzle.
Got the hard drives in and running, my computer auto installed the driver software for them, but now I want to have as separate storage ie, I would like to have one set so I can store random downloads like music tv shows etc, while the other one can be for games, but can’t figure out how to do this, I would rather not run them as one lump storage cause if one dies I lose all my data, screw having to download 100+GB of music again…
Oh, of course it was simple. been a long time since I’ve done this so I’ve forgotten lol.
Anyway, first hard drive installs fine but the second one I have a sneaking suspicion is DOA.
Everything is plugged in fine, data cable is in the sata connectors, power cable is all connected, it just sits there clicking away and doesn’t seem to format as quickly as the first one and now after a restart having it plugged in stops my os from loading up until I unplug that hard drive.
I’ve double and triple checked that it is the problem, isolated by having both drives unplugged and it’s fine to no surprise, than having the top drive plugged in, and it still works, but as soon as I plug in the middle one, it does that.
What do you think? DOA and I need to get a replacement?
Just a small point, but personally I’d get a couple hard drives Vs. a single 4TB drive. All drives have a lifespan, and getting 2 means some redundancy is possible. You can keep your assets backed up easier that way. 2X 2TB drives will be plenty of room for most stuff.
You realise I’ve already bought the hard drives and that one is DOA?
Not be rude, but it sounds like you didn’t even read the rest of the thread before commenting, or maybe you did, in which case I do apologise.
Nope, I missed that part. I guess my advice was even more accurate than I imagined :rolleyes:
