    My phone is still at 100% after a few hours of use, so perhaps the calibration is off in the opposite direction.

    My guess is that the new one is worse in that it uses a cheaper drive than a WD RED, but there may be other reasons for a different SKU. H3.H0A83 is the firmware for the RED so you can check it without opening the enclosure.

    That is mostly caused by the Androids. Sometimes the typing is limited to a few characters per minute. It really sucks.

    It was down to 34%. Maybe I can let it die completely. Meanwhile I ordered a third party battery, but it ships from China and arrival is 2-4 weeks.

    Maybe it is the battery, or at least I hope the phone is not kaput. According to the T-Mobon, there is no battery so the whole phone has to be replaced. Although the phone is under warranty I will not necessarily receive a new one, depending on what is available. Then it has to be reinstated...

    When I was a child we had vacuum tubes with very few pins, not CPUs. :lol: My father would send me to the store to test and replace them. I've never installed automotive tires, but a good number of CPUs without any damages. However, everyone may not know how to install a CPU, so I'd expect...

    It seems the newer CPUs are not what I would prefer, a 6-8 core CPU with good O/C and a lot of lanes. The 7900X and up reportedly require massive cooling to O/C. :(

    That's ridiculous! :mad: The 5930K hexacore supported 40 lanes three years ago. Is everything supposed to use Thunderbowls now? Do the 16 lanes include M.2 or is that separate?

    That is where a few of my REDs were obtained. ;) As 5400 PM drives they are not fast, but better than the historically slow Green or Blue WD 5400 RPM drives. Note that there is now a new model of the 8TB Easystore, which I suspect is using a non-helium 8TB drive.

    It was working fine until then, so it would be a rare coincidence if not caused by the Androids. I will let the battery drain as much as possible by Tuesday, then charge it and hope it resets to the 100% level.

    What is the theory of increasing number of drives vs. % of capacity on max. RAD performance? If I have six drives in RAID 6 and add a seventh, will that cause more CPU load from the parity calculations? At this point it is about 60% full and would then be about 50% full, but usage will...

    I'm not sure about that ECC part being different for the 512e. I thought it was before the emulation since the drives all have the same capacity. They all have the same 10^15 UER and 2.5M hours MTBF. Anyway I know that the types cannot be mixed in my NAS array and I already had 3 of the...

    Not really. I suppose it is for servers. I suppose the sustained writes/reads are nothing special if they only report the 4K random results.

    I have bunch of these. I think they were nearly $600 16 months ago. The prices are much lower now. I probably would not buy drives from the Amazon, but that is another issue.

    I use the 10TB helium Seagate Enterprise Capacity drives. The 8TB did not have helium gas at the time. Now they even have a 12TB, but it has more platters and requires somewhat more power than the usual helium drives.
