Configuring Software Raid Within Windows 10
Most computer users have no need for more than a single drive in their computer, or perhaps a few individual drives if additional storage space is required. There are certain workflows and use cases where features of a RAID – like larger total volume capacity or data redundancy – may be extremely helpful. For large arrays, redundant boot drives, or advanced RAID modes we strongly recommend using a dedicated hardware controller card, but for simple configurations like mirroring or pooling there are options within Windows 10 which can be used without needing special hardware. This guide will cover a couple of those options and how to set them up.

Intel Rocket Lake Compute Performance Results HPL HPCG NAMD and Numpy
The new Intel Rocket Lake CPUs have been officially released. There were numerous posts and reviews before the official release date of March 30 2021, but I haven’t seen anything about the numerical compute performance. I’ve had access to a Core-i9 11900KF 8-core CPU and have compared it with (my own) AMD 5800X system.
11th Gen Intel Core CPU Review Roundup
Intel’s new 11th Gen Core processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock), but with a drop in total core count on the high end. This makes it hard to estimate how each model will perform in the real world without application and workflow specific benchmarking and testing.
Cinema 4D: 11th Gen Intel Core vs AMD Ryzen 5000 Series
