Obviously the mixed sizes don't perform the same on EXPO, or is it a capacity issue?

M.2 cooling can be an issue when the bottom side of the PCB is populated due to the larger capacities. Cooling should be a lesser issue in general because all the NAND is not active at the same time.

I'm not sure about the DWPD vs. the TBW. For marketing the DWPD makes sense, but is an SSD with twice the capacity and half the DWPD (same TBW) really any worse for example? I see DWPD specified at 128KB sequential and also 4K random. Maybe your server application can use a larger indirection...

I'm not convinced that it is worth $1K or more for 8TB TLC M.2 SSDs when similar 4TB SSDs are under $300. I know that I should get a single 30.72GB U.3, but the whole situation is nerve wracking.

There have been a few M.2 8TB TLC such as Sabrent, and now the Corsair is also making one. Despite that the smaller SSDs are less per GB, why are there not more 8TB M.2 SSds? The RocketPus has been going up in price over the past few months.

I suppose it could be trinary (3 values per cell), but that is even more weird. o_O I'm reluctant to gamble >$300 on non-EXpO that won't clock rightly to 6000. There should be DDR5-6000 48GB modules for sale if they were reliable on the AMD EXPO. I'm really hoping that AMD gets their crap...

Does anyone use it for RYZEn 7000 CPUs? I'm not understanding how it is not binary or what is really means to the RyZen. Due to the crappy AMD memory controller systems the performance sinks when more than 2 modules are installed. We were thinking about upgrading to 96GB 6000 on the EXPO...

24TB Seagates are available now, such as the EXOS and Skyhawk AI. I'm not sure what an AI drive is. Of course there are some FW differences for video, but no indication that the drive does any AI computations. The WD Ultrastar DC HC580 is not really our yet.

It's hard to extrapolate newer, larger drives to compare with older, smaller drives. I'm surprised that they are using so many 10TB drives with an average of 6 years of service and some drives are even older. Is that normal in the storage industry like Amazon and the Google or just because...

I suppose the bandwith to each drive depends on the number in use. The total is limited to 8000MB/sec. due to the 8 PCIe 3.x lanes. Two NVMe woudl max it out. The SAS drives are operating up to 12Gbps, but 8 of those would also take all the bandwidth. I don't know if people use both at the...

No, it is a U.2 HBA. U.3 drives will work on U.2 controllers (at slower PCIe 3.x speeds), but not vice versa. All the pinouts and backenplanes, etc. are what confuses me. It should be possible to connect 4x U.2/U.3 drives or 2x U.2/U.3 drives and up to 8x SATA/SAS if I understand correctly.

Their rumors are less and reliable than when that other guy ran the place. The 5D and R5 series are not for Olympiads; the R1/R3 are.

I thought that the 9500 series was supposed to be used with U.3. The relationships between U.2, U.3 and PCIe speeds are not entirely clear for me. I'm sure there are plenty of people that will take your basic 3D design and finsh/print it for you. I'm not really a fan of plastic enclosures though.

I charged the 2019 UPS with a WD 1.5A power adapter overnight and then discharged at 2A with the computer battery analyzer. The result is ~85.5% theoretical capacity. The original STB has a 12V/2A power adapter and I had installed a 12V/3A power supply in 2019 to ensure that there was enough...

In the old days we had internships. In one summer you could learn a tremendous amount. A $6500 camera is really cheap stuff even compared to basic cine lenses. At least you can have several cheap remote setups and lose some in bad weather or when the rockets ignite. Zeiss just came out...

The explodings of the LIONs all over the Amazons are a concern. :( I was kinda shocked to find that the APC has 12 cells configured 2S6P. Each group of 6 cells are welded in parallel to a large plate. The cells are LG INR 18650 3300mAh with a warning that the user will be disfigured by...

I avoided the NADs without ECC. Surely the Ryzen will advance their embedded ones.

Is it feasible to plug one UPS into another UPS or is that not allowed?

I'm amazed you are so knowledgeable about the history. As a perspective for you, I never had a home computer until the 90s. Most people in my age group that I knew did not have one either until the late 80s-early 90s. The younger people had something like what you mentioned and used them for...

I have no clue what that means. I have an Atari 2600 somewhere, but it was for the primitative games. I used the Commoder 64K at work that ran some process equipment in the 1980s.

Is that more powerful than the MAC M series silicon? I thought in IT contexts the Ampere was a video card?

I only want to use one device. I am now plugging the AC adapter into an old Back UPS 1300, which has the TV and A/V system. According to the display it only runs 90 min. at most without load, but probably less. I have a few ancient UPS that might have a decent run time, but really don't want...

My 12142 APC is kaput it seems. Somehow it kept running 8 hours even though only 750g and 3x4x4". I have looked at those large power bank/solaris generators, but it is not clear if they can constantly run and pass through 12V when being powered by the 120VAC. The whole point is that it has...

Thanks, but the first two links are bad. The third one is rather pricey and unfortunately my post was not so clear. I don't know how much the telco Fibre equipment costs, but I'm not concerned about that. I just don't want to be without internet/TV/VOPI (phone) during the longer power failures...

I was just thinking about adding a higher speed to the current setups. I'm not living in a server room with all that noise and I don't have the power circuits to build a storage sever. It seems I should stick with the 10G for NAS or maybe look at the Thunderbowls. I'm not ready to spend $8K...

My APC 12V 140Wh Lithium UPS is dying. Both it and the 120V leaden ones for long run time are long discontinued. The last power outage was about 3+ hours, and my system failed. The older gear was good for 8-12 hours originally (3 separate UPS in 2 locations). Most all of the modern leaden UPS...

I definitely don't follow photography as art, style, or cult of personality, so I don't gor. For the most part I find reviews sorely lacking compared to tests. The better reviews contain a goodly amount of controlled tests. The other ellie in the rooom is that most of the reviewers get free...

I was still waiting for MS to fix bugs in XP64 well after it was obsolete. Maybe they will just tell us to use Win 12 if that comes out when 10 is delinquent in Oct 2025.

I was thinking more like 4x SFP28 (25G), or is that not a good idea? It may be better to wait for a totally SSD internal setup, but that's too expensively now.

So which 4-port 10G or 25G do you suggest?

Photography was not invented to make filthy images. The criminals and degenerates saw it as a way to make money so they used it.

Humans are always doing disgusting things and technology certainly has had unintended negative consequences. For example I doubt that the inventors of the internet thought of all the terrible uses we know today. I don't think that silly headset will make any particular difference.

Surely Apple is not making that product for people to watch smut. :rolleyes:

There's no need to describe other opinons as being a cult. :LOL: Life is too short to make every silly software into a big thing.

Did you get the residency extended yet?

You are advocating for the Google and against Apple? Maybe you should be advocating for better interoperability between them. It's not clear if your community is a physical municipality or randomly located people with a common interest like a church group. Either way you might want to buy a...

You are way overreacting. Most all of the pro photographers I know use iPhones. They post quality images and video to online places and also to private storage that requires a password. There is still email, or the maybe youth doesn't use it? You can also AirDrop from one phone to another...

Of course there is nothing wrong with not using a phone case. I need a grippy surface and don't like caseless phone use since I would be even more likely to drop them. :( I wish that phones were slightly larger, but with built-in protection that would be smaller than using a phone with a case...

https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-financial-results-for-fiscal-year-2023 This is not looking good.

People that are using iOS are some of the nicest, most successful, upstanding people. Mostly they are not sending secret videos. Frankly if anyone I did not know personally asked me to communicate via an unauthorized app, I'd be suspicous of their motives. I avoided the Apple products because...

I naturally cooperate with LEOs, but that is also in at least one SOP that I follow. The reason I use the password in my personal use phone is to prevent thieves from getting anything off of it. Well, I was trying to find some advantages to the new phone. ;)

Holy moly, that actually works on the A54 (2023). It takes about a half second press on the glass, but only in a specified area. On the newer phones does the finger function all over the display area?

No, I'm not familiar. The phone I use for work is not high security, but the software for some reason requires an alpha/numeric password rather than the biodemetrics. Evidently my phone has a fingerprinting function of the KNOX. Obviously my prints are in various databases, but I'm not sure...

There are so many garter snakes that I don't know many of them. The California red-sided garter is the one I recall most. In my youth I liked the kingsnakes (Lampropeltis californiae) the best as pets.

Whose fingerprints are you reading? Is that a new IT thing?

Is it just me or are lasers not lasting as long since the 2020s? :(

This is exactly why people should not have pets if they don't know about them. What species is it? When I was young I had many reptiles (at least six species of lizards and three of snakes), but not one ever escaped. Snakes are easier to contain than amphibians.

Have you contacted the ISP about the slower than advertised speeds?
