Is there some kind of relatively small, low-idle-power NAS that I can use at 2.5GHz to shuttle data? It would be separate from that other network so that I can connect just two computers and leave the NAS on all the time with minimal power and heat, unlike the large NAS. I would probably just...

There is an App called Phone Link, but it does not do anything since I avoid the MS accounts.

I have no idea what that version of Windows entails, but it's probably not available to mere mortals like me. There is no Your Phones program that I'm aware of on any on my computers and in fact no microphone in the system for security reasons. The laptop have them, but I stay off.

Basically Windows 11 is required and they will fix it later. Fortunately I did not fall for the AMD BS and buy the 9950X. It's not clear if there is some other bug in the CPUs or just when there are multiple CCDs.

I discovered that there were BIOS updates for all my Ryzen mainboards. They already included the CV fix for the low level microcode to prevent potential hackers. As far as I can determine there is no performance impact and all my testing was done after they were applied.

Storage is not all that cheap in 2024. I was just looking at what it costs to store 132TB actual, i.e., $6000 for a modest NAS with 8x24TB in RAID Z2. It can be cheaper if you can homebrew with some gigantic, heavy setup using a greater number of smaller oddball drives, but 8-bays is reasonably...

I doubt it. The "consumer" R bodies don't use LP-E6x, they use the LP-E17. The LP-E6P is all that Canon will be making in the future, but the cost is the same as the NH. I expect that all future Canon bodies that use LP-E6x will be looking for P batteries. However, somebody will probably...

So you are relying on Windows. It's a resource hog, same difference.

What is so much worse with Chase than others?

So they are all dropping now. The 9700x numbers are obviously mostly or all at stock 65W. The 9950X (n=15) are less than 10% better than the 7950X in single-thread and about 6% in overall CPU Marks.

I have no idea why your CPU usage is so low, unless it's running old software that doesn't implement SMT very well. Many users will find that the single-threaded performance is what makes a computer feel fast, combined with a lack of crapware.

If the R6 III is like the R5 II you will need all new batteries. The generiacs trigger an 80 error and then shut down. The LP-E6NH registers as low when it is at 50% (blinking red). For some reason the cartouche only allowed me to buy two P batteries. I will run a profile on the P, but my...

The R5 II suffers from multiple layers of stupidity. It's like the AMD 9000 series of cameras. :LOL:

Pretty much all of them have a mediocre to crappy BMS. I have not-so-cheap USB-C Canon and S*ny batteries with the idea of being able to charge an extra S*ny battery in a small boat from a power bank. After substantial testing of the Canon, I decided that the higher impedance and less accurate...

There are batteries now also. I have to do some testing on the body, but the control differences are going to be a hassle if you don't have a similar, newer body. In case you are not on the Adode plans, DPP was updated. DXO and others will probably take a while.

I would examine the "bunch of reasons" to determine the relevance. Are you making the most rational decision that is best for the business?

It would be crazy to use the GUID. Every time a drive is replaced/reformatted all the programs that used various drive letters would not find the data.

Do the T&C of the software platform indicate the means of communication? I would think that you want something with records for evidence.

I have no idea if it will suck or not, but AMD has nothing new in two years for the desktop. It's just Slow Tock.

It's hardly a stretch to exceed Zen 5 technology. Will it be reliable is another question.

Back on track... There are still no Passmarks for the 9700X or 9950X and only the early one for the 9900X. I could upload for my 9700X, but it is not on the internet.

What I recall was seeing the Magnavox in holiday 1973, but I was a mere youth and could only window shop. I think it would be interesting for you historically. I will say that the silly overlays would get stuck to the screen unevenly and damaged so many people just played the basic table tennis...

The X670E I have with four M.2 slots on the board and also six SATA ports. I also have an old-school 8-ported Falcone SAS/SATA III RAID 0/1 controller. There are currently 3x4TB BLACK and the single 970 Pro in M.2 and 3x4TB SATA III backing it. The plan was to get the 8TB BLACK to replace the...

I have no idea what regular people do now nor then, nor is there anything wrong with it. I know that 10 YO children with money had the Odyssey in 1973. (IIRC Pong was an arcade game.) I had the Atari 2600 later in the 70s, but I just assumed that people outgrew video games when they were in...

But you need to look at the TCO. A drive just sitting there on the table vs. being part of a system in some kind of storage pool. So it is worth paying more for larger drives to a point. No normal person would end up with such a Mickey mouse plan for 40TB of internal SSDs. :)

You should find a higher class of clients. ;)

You keep talking about cheap SSDs, but I really need a link or some info on where one can actually buy them in 2024 or early 2025. So they are about $1500-2200, depending on supplier.

Which 15.36TB SSDs would you buy now to use in a U.2 NAS? The NAS has the backplano internally ,correct?

They are shipping everywhere now. LP-E6P are more difficult to get.

Well, it's all hard drives rather than SSDs. If I had enough SSD capacity then I'd need fewer NAS, or ideally newer NAS. NAS that uses U.2 drives are expensive. Off the top of my head, I'd get the TS-h1290FX. The NAS is about $7k, but 12x15.36TB SSDs is too expensive.

I suspect that the proportion of exclusively Linux users on the desktop CPUs is pretty low, so Windows will be their target market. Even if you look at all the Photoronix testing in LiNux the 9950X is not all that great of an upgrade compared to previous and faster upgrades, with the exception...

I do it like this. The main computer has an INtel X710-DA4 quadratic 10Gb SFP+ CNA (really an NIC). Computer #2 has a dual 10Gb X520-DA2. I'm using the SFP+ with twinax cables, but you can use fiber adapters with some of them for longer runs. The laptops (via USB 3.x adapter) and AssBox...

I think you have an unrealistic idea of what AI is doing. It's a useful tool for optimizing and assisting in design, but doesn't "think" like a human to solve complex problems. Does it understand the issues between marketing and engineering and the stockholders? That website is probably...

Thanks, but that doesn't help with those >$4K 30TB SSDs. The lack of authorized dealers of the enterprise stuff is worrying when spending many thousands.

Maybe I'm totally confused, but isn't the problem between the CCDs and not between the CCXs? It isn't like the Bulldog crap of years ago.

Manufacturers generally rate different HDD and SSD capacities with the same MTBF, but with SSDs the TBW is usually proportional to the capacity. I would not touch used hard drives with a 10 foot pole, but in a NAS or some kind of array they might be acceptable if you are buying from a good...

I've had two SSDs and one HDD die in the past year or so. There were three different brands and three different computers in two locations. There is nothing in common other than being manufactured in the 2020s, i.e. relatively low usage. I suppose storing >100TB of data online is not cheaply...

Do they need 2 CCDs in 2024 rather than just making one larger one? I'm sure the cost would be more, but what do the more advanced manufacturers do?

I understand that there is a huge gulf between the enthusiast and enterprise markets and the large providers don't want you to hold mass data locally. I suppose we will see some overpriced QLC 16TB M.2 eventually, but U.2/U.3 SSDs still seems better than a bunch of M.2 SSDs.

Yes, but that Highpoint thingie is the opposite of simplicity. A single large U.3 PCIe 5.0 SSD would be simpler and probably more reliable. How do you manage SSD failures with everything on one drive? I suppose the system is down and you have some kind of failover at the whole computer level...

How is that related to the SSDs?

Maybe, but why? Don't you run small SSDs in RAID 1 for the boot drive and then put the data and databases on the higher performing SSDs?

Three would probably be about the average new vehicle assuming ~$15K for 122TB. SSDs prices seem to have stabilized and I expect will be lower in 2025. I'm more challenged by NAS capacity, so I don't want to put too much into just the convenience of having more onboard storage vs the external...

I don't think the 7000 X3Ds prices are dropping much more since they are a special purpose part that has not been replaced and the regular 9000s are not much better than the regular 7000s. The arrival of the 9000X3Ds should make more of a difference. AMD has to fix the CCX cluster by then, so...

No, I don't have many free PCIe lanes with the consumer chipsets. The only viable option I saw was an 8-lane controller that supported U.2/U.3 and SATA/SAS. https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/raid-controllers/megaraid-9560-16i Maybe if I play the lottery I can get some 120+ TB drives in...

The NH-D15 G2 is really nice and a pleasure to use. The boxed kit of parts and accessories is very well put together as usual. The fans have a thin piece of paper between the blades and shroud for protection during shipping, that you must notice and remove. Instead of that right-angle Philips...

Why would you not inform the supplier of the error immediately? If you found a $2200 item in the street, would you take it like a common criminal? I don't know the legal liability of the misrepresented goods, but certainly it's incompatible with GAAP and contracts. It can also appear as a...

I finally got to install the NH-D15 G2 with the flattened base on the old 7950X. As a replacement for the Nh-D15 it's just a little better, allowing the CPU to use about 8 watts more at 90+°C. That reduces the throttling so the PaasmaRK 11 results are better on the PBO. The overall value is...

I tried three thumb drives including two that were 32GB FAT32 in case that was an issue. There were no issues with the BIOS when I got in there, but there is no reset BIOS button on the back as on the better boards.

I was really surprised that the CPU-less, RAM-less, push the button and wait for the update from USB did not work. I have used it before on other boards. Fortunately I still have the 5950X system and of course I'm typing this from the awesome little 8840U, both of which have full access to...
