    Nimbus Data Launches the World’s Largest Solid State Drive – 100 Terabytes

    Four 50GB or eight 25GB in RAID 10 would be preferable.

    Two are rather pointless. I'd say ay least a dozen, but 50 would be better for aSTR and the IOpS

    OS is not the issue for me; it is the programs and configurations.

    I had one installation that was maintained for 7 years through 3 mainboards and multiple versions of TrueImage. Just changing all the program settings, installing plug-ins, etc. is such a PITA that I avoided clean installs as much as possible. Of course now MS wants to own all your stuff, and...

    Nimbus Data Launches the World’s Largest Solid State Drive – 100 Terabytes

    At SATA SSD speeds and IPOPs you'd need quite a few to have high performance though.

    I'm not doing well with ageing. It's about half physical and half mental. I boosted everything starting 6K 3dB up to 5dB at the higher frequencies.

    LED flashlights

    Now I find that the light throttles down after 3 minutes. Another 3 minutes is possible by turning the light on and off briefly. I suppose eventually that period is reduced when heat is excessive. Other Nitecore lights reduce output more linearly based on the temperature, not just a timer. :(

    It looks like +$150 for the 8650U compared to the 8250U.

    Is the max clock of the Kaby Lake R reachable with single thread performance? The difference between the 8550U and 8650U is minimal, but the 8250U is not good at only 3.4GHz.

    Samsung Notebook

    Perhaps the 8650U is used in laptops with better cooling solutions, other hardware differences, or the benchmark is bunk. For practical purposes I also compare the clock speeds. Sony Vaio claims that good cooling produces better performance on the 8250U than the usual 8550U and the well-cooled...

    Samsung Notebook

    Oddly enough the i7-8550U and 8650U are priced the same according to Intel as are the i5-8250U/8350U. However, few laptops have the 8650U or 8350U options for whatever reason. Most 2018 thin/light and mid-sized laptops offer the option of 8250U or 8550U. Of course the larger performance laptops...

    The clock speed is lower. I was comparing the data from the CPU marks recently. The Fujitsu has no option for the 8550U for some reason.

    I'm mainly concerned about ionizing radiation. Of course I could be cooked by microwaves, but a phone in my front pocket is not my highest risk at this point.

    Samsung Notebook

    Fujitsu CPU options are the 8250U/8350U/8650U. What are the thoughts on the VPRO CPUs, e.g., 8650U vs. the regular 8550U non-VPRO? (I rejected the low-grade Kaby LakeR i5-8250U.) The 8650U is supposedly a bit faster than the 8550U, but it seems there are some possible security issues on the...

    If you are not at home, work, or vehicle, then what? After the Chernobyl incident we had to wear the film badges for radiation monitoring, but I'm not familiar with radioactive phones. Wouldn't such dangerous phones be recalled?

    I store a Samsung or LG in my front offside pocket. It's not good for outdoor use, but fine for business. Where is your phone?

    Yes, but that was all they had and pocketwatches were expensive. Miniaturization to the wristwatch was an improvement.

    I do that at work, but it is not so practical when one's hands are busy such as in the outdoors. :) Since I don't wear a watch I sneak a peak at the time on the camera. ;)

    What do you use to create/restore disk images for Windows 10? I want to make an image from USB without actually booting the laptop computer for the first time, so it cannot be installed first. Thanks.

    The battery is probably not easily or economically replaced so that limits the functional life.

    I was wondering how long they run and if the display remains on continuously. In the early days of digital watches we had to press a button to light the LEDs for about 30 seconds. :lol:

    I have a well developed sense of humour. I do prefer it dry and dark. Perhaps if I were the gunslinger of Georgia I would have a different view. I've been involved with mental issues for years so using derogatory terms such as crazy is not funny.
