 In early Q2 of this year, Nvidia announced GeForce GeAssist, a USB stick that would enable a suite of features called GeForce Assisted Gaming. So GhostPlay would use AI to analyze your gameplay style, then if you have to get up to get the door or something, it would just keep playing as though it was you. Neat! BossBoost could analyze boss fights and help you with the most effective way to beat them. You could use it one time per session. And EnvyNurture would even tell you when to eat and drink, to stay nourished and hydrated, even going as far as to tell you when the drinks in your fridge were chilled. Obviously, of course, that was an April Fool's joke. But after much clamoring from the community, Nvidia did actually produce a GeForce GTX-styled USB drive in the same kind of form as the GeAssist. So it looks just like a little miniature GTX 1080. Isn't that adorable? So Nvidia produced only 1080 of them, and I see what you did there, because 4K gaming, right? And they sent us two of them. So naturally, our first question was, can they run traces? And the answer, of course, was no, that's stupid. They're USB drives, they're 64 gig thumbsticks. Our second question then was, can we run them in SLI? Let's find out. Cooler Master's 25th anniversary edition, Cosmos 2, features a unique dual curved tempered glass side panel. Check it out now at the link below. But how do we run SLI? Obviously, there's no SLI enabled button in Nvidia's control panel for a gag limited run product. So we got to thinking, well, RAID then would be the closest thing to running multiple storage devices together for increased performance. But this raises other questions. How do we do that? Hardware RAID cards are the best RAID experience, but as you can probably imagine, nobody really makes a hardware RAID card. These are like 500 plus dollar devices for putting thumb drives in them. So no, we're going to have to go back to our good old friend, software RAID, something we've actually used several times in the past, including on our ill-fated RAID 50 solid state WANIX server. So for our first attempt then, things are going to be pretty simple. We go ahead and plug in both drives. They're both formatted right out of the box. We open up the disk management software that's included with Windows. Look at that. They're both detected. And then, oh, stumbling block. What should come up when we right click on the drives is the option to convert them to dynamic disks. They need to be dynamic disks in order for us to run software RAID. I mean, to be clear, I'm not complaining that Windows doesn't allow you to run a RAID on removable USB devices. That's a terrible, terrible idea. But that doesn't change the fact that I want to do it. So fortunately, we found some unverified instructions on the Internet that should allow us to load a really ancient 64-bit USB drive driver and hopefully get our RAID 0 game on. So the first step is that we need to disable secure boot, including unloading the PK keys. Then, well, we tried installing the old unsigned USB driver to trick the system, but that failed with an error about driver signing. So by shift rebooting, then disabling driver signature in the advanced startup options, we can force the driver to install using device manager. Once that happened, both drives were detected as normal internal drives rather than USB drives, and the striped array option becomes available for us too. No. Come on! Surely, my random thing I found on the Internet with a random driver from 2006 should have worked, but it didn't. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. I took to Googling it and found this video from the 8-bit guy whose channel intro says the iBook guy. Hold on a minute! Oh no! You can't do it on the PC, but you can do it on a Mac. Here goes then. We got our 2017 MacBook Pro, and we are going to do this because I am determined to run SLI USB drives, even if I have to do it on a MacBook. Oh! All right, I'm a little rusty on my Mac operation. I actually haven't touched this thing since I did my review of it. Right, nothing on a Mac is done by right-clicking. Right, RAID assistant. Striped, RAID 0. That's what we want. No way. Is it this easy? Is it going to work? Okay, SLI RAID. Okay. This looks promising. No! It works! GTX SLI RAID. No frigging way. Okay, so let's fire up Blackmagic disk speed test, change our target, and bam! Let's have a look at what these write speeds look like, baby. Okay. Uh... There you go, they're not the fastest drives in the world, but 114 megabytes per second on our SLI RAID is actually faster than the 72 megabytes per second that we got on a single drive. So, does SLI work on the GeForce GTX, GeAssist, limited edition, USB 1080 drive, not a real product thing? The answer is, sort of. You've probably heard that you should use a VPN when you're browsing the internet, if you want your data to be secure, and you want to be able to access things that would otherwise be restricted. But you've also probably heard, oh, it's complicated. You heard wrong. TunnelBear is so simple. You just pick what country you want to tunnel through and press the button. It's available on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. They even have a Chrome extension, and they've got a top-rated privacy policy, and they do not log your activity.
