Nah, I care about how money is spent by the government. But the guy outside 7-11 can have a couple bucks. He needs it for whatever he needs it for.

When I was a student, all my notebooks were either A4 or B5, these days even A5 is too big for me and I end up with A6 for most of my handwriting stuff.

Never seen a C-series paper though, didn’t even know it existed.

This video nicely explains the benefits of A4 paper and may also trigger an existential crisis:

Can’t explore the scales of the Universe quite as easily with letter paper!

Stety , to fountainpens in Comparison of A-, B-, and C-series paper sizes

Is it just the size difference or is the ratio also different? I am too tired to grab my calculator.

apollo440 ,

It’s sqrt(2) for all formats. As you may know, that means you can fold it in half and still have an aspect ratio of sqrt(2).

AmalgamatedIllusions OP ,

It’s the same, the difference is the starting “0” size. For the A-series, the area is 1 m^2. For the B-series, the shorter side length is 1 m. The C-series is the geometric mean of the areas of the A- and B-series.

B6 has become my go-to size notebook for journaling. Used to be a committed A5 guy but the slightly smaller B6 is just handier for most situations, while still being more generous than a “pocket” size.

For the life of me I don’t understand the weirdly proportioned “B6 Slim” and its popularity.

I think b6 slim love comes purely from the traveler’s notebook. And even then that’s a format most were putting up with rather than enjoying. But you know how things go when things get popular. People just start doing the popular thing, including for capturing that same aesthetic, and the b6 slim travelers notebook has a very particular aesthetic thanks to how long and tall it is

TQuid ,

I suspected as much, and you put it very nicely; thanks!

Is that supposed to be a Canadian flag?

One thing to note about SAS to sata breakout cables is that they are directional. You may need a reverse breakout cable to make that work.

SK4nda1 OP ,

Good to know! This might be it. I thought SFF-8087 was the spec of the cable, but its the connector!

SK4nda1 OP ,

Ordered a new cable that was the exacg model from intertech that they recommended. I’ll let you guys know how it went.

SK4nda1 OP ,

Jeah! Cable fixed it!

SAS to 4 times SATA

I’m no expert, but can you do that? Are they SAS or SATA drives? Do they show up if you connect the drives or backplane directly to the motherboard?

SK4nda1 OP ,

Jeah, the drives work confirmed. The drives are sata, the backplane has sas out which splits. The manufacturer explicitly says this works. Sooo i gues? Like you I am no expert and just do as i’m told :')
