This the pub. Any pub questions or musings?

NAND is it. Let's live with it.

If you don't need to remove the HDD's often, and can do with removing a side panel when you do, the Antec Nineteen Hundred has a good amount of HDD slots.

Oi. Bartender, no more Cognac.

What was the OS before you upgraded to 10? Maybe a restore to that configuration would help.

For CPU needs focused on singled threaded, serialized calculations, the i3 is the same as that i5. If CPU cache or multi-threading matters, choose the i5.

Yes, and they may never do so.

Indeed it does. SMART is basically a data gathering program, so it won't fix anything. Windows cannot reallocate sectors, nor can it accurately detect the difference between a bad sector and OS corruption issues. The only way to attempt to solve sector issues is to use the manufacturer's tools...

Typically not my first choice of motherboard manufacturers, for a recent low budget build, I did use an ASRock H97M Pro4 and it worked great....five months later and no failure.

That is a decent selection for a low budget. I second Dave's recommendation for a larger SSD, unless you have plans to use an HDD for data storage.

That would be an interesting poll. To some extent, David Bowie was influential to the genres that his music supported, such as: art rock, glam rock, art pop, electronic, and experimental (it just happens to be music that does not interest me). Nonetheless, it seems to be more typical that a...

I am glad my products aren't in this classification yet. My buddy and I fly fixed wing RC planes like the Multiplex TwinStar. My buddy's filmed flights. He has a DJI quad, which he has registered and uses for work. He's also an AMA member.

I am sure you already know about this: FAA UAS Registration

Yes, I read that, and it is a shame. For many years now, I only use NOD32 as the default anti-virus app for my customers and I. On occasion, I use Kaspersky for extra support.

So are they using the thermal characteristics of the redirected infrared frequency band to aid in heating the filament?

I was thinking the same thing. Then I wondered, am I reading the situation correctly? Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that not every Prime95 instance produces the same results with Skylake. So, could Prime95 be running on a Skylake CPU for 24 hours, and the problem is never encountered?

That's one way to heat the basement. :)

I can only recall his song Space Oddity (1969) and that he played Nikola Tesla in the movie The Prestige (2006). One of his songs (I don't remember which) is used in the movie A Knight's Tale. Oh, and that at times his stage presence was eccentric.

New Seasonic Prime Series PSU's

Will, I would first clone the disks to new disks (I happen to use X-Ways Disk Clone), then use something like GetDataBack - NTFS to recover the data. br

notepad++ doesn't pick up that syntax error....that is the editor I use

Handy, thanks for the tip. Do you, or anyone else, have experience/feedback/opinion regarding Drupal?

Even with the super-lightweight glasses, I encounter headaches. I have a couple pairs of the Oakley Muffler. For me they are very comfortable and fit well when I run or play tennis. They hold up well with light-contact sports too. I have not broken a pair...yet. :) The minor downside is that the...

Is the wine for the cat(s)?

I like the thicker bezeled, plastic framed lenses because they sit more comfortably on my nose. The type DD is wearing has those little pads/feet and within seconds they give me a headache. Of course, I mostly prefer my contact lenses. :)

That is possible. PHP just happens to be the only server-side scripting I've learned, and self taught at that too. I am not a programmer, so I usually figure that if I am having problems with code, it is me.

CODE It is annoying how frustratingly unbrilliant I feel after spending an hour searching for an error in only 73 lines of PHP/MySQL code that I wrote, and it was simply a missing quotation mark in an echoed font class. It certainly is not the first time, and won't be the last. But I felt like...

....or as Dave King sings, "It's been the worst day since yesterday" :)

Quotes from this article: Rec. 2020 ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020, more commonly known by the abbreviations Rec. 2020 or BT.2020, defines various aspects of UHDTV such as display resolution, frame rate, chroma subsampling, bit depth, and color space. It was posted on the International...

Those SMR drives should be Device Managed SMR, but they use a static LBA table and Media Based Cache (MBC or DC). With MBC or DC, on a track of data, after a specified set of data sectors there is space used as cache. MBC is being used instead of a huge DRAM/NAND buffer. For proper SMR...

I already think of SMR as an ugly pothole. It is a lame push of technology in order to claim increased areal density to help fan away the flames of SSD.

Merc, how is this copy process being processed? Is this a network copy? What type of storage are the off-site drives? SMR reads and writes are very different from each other.

I just gave it a try with the purchase of a 3 meter HDMI cable.

If you can (have $ and the natural gas feed), a natural gas generator.

For my personal use, that is my favorite size for a monitor, particularly because of the vertical resolution being 1200. My home computer monitor is a 20" 1600x1200 Dell model. I have thought about replacing it, and whatever that replacement will be, it must have a minimum of 1200 pixels...

What in the world type of professional work can you possibly get down with a 13.3" screen? (Well, maybe if you were programming in BASIC at 640 x 480.) I have two 23" screens and I need more space (and not a higher resolution). My sympathy extends to your misery of using a lame PC. At least the...

As a data recording technology for hard drives, PMR is already 10 years old. So far, SMR is not a suitable replacement for PMR; hopefully, HAMR will be. Interestingly, SMR seems like the true MR technology that begs to be a hybrid. Considering data is written in bands or blocks like an SSD (SMR...

The drive inside the enclosure has a z-height of 15mm because it uses up to 5 disks; not because of the integrated USB interface.

I am sure this is not new for many of you, but having never done this, I was surprised at how easy it is to code an RSS Feed with PHP and MySQL. I searched the Internet for code suggestions, and some were terribly complicated. It took me some time, and the simplest code turned out to be the...

I have not participated for many years. I may have to fire something up to help the team. I think I have a couple Core 2 Duo systems and an unused 560ti video card.

Do you mean a screw-down terminal or a punch-block?

For the SMR method that Seagate has implemented, it is possible that they're using approximately 1GiB of DRAM per 1TiB of SMR storage, and they're not disclosing these details.

Tea, SMR drives do not read and write in 4K sectors like PMR. They cluster a group of shingled 4K sectors into a band. In order to write to one 4K sector in a band, the entire band is cached, updated, then written back to the drive. The size of the band will affect performance and areal density...

I think you already have your answer, but none of the current WD drives are SMR. Most are 4K, except some datacenter drives at 4TB and under, such as the WD RE, which are 512n.

It's about time Western Digital purchased a NAND manufacturer. They were in negotiations for a flash memory manufacturer in 1999, but backed out. This will be helpful to reduce the cost of the NAND used in HGST SSD products and WD SSHD products. I sure hope they keep SanDisk separate like with...

Tony, you should learn to write in a more concise manner, and with less drama, like Tea.

Using something as simple as jsapi from Google for graphs, or a basic javascript image loader is most helpful. Also, Google Analytics and the jquery library are great. Sometimes, Javascript is misunderstood by web programmers, and a site is bloated with, or poorly coded with Javascript. But that...

I question what Keller has really done. Since 2012 he has been responsible for "overseeing the teams defining the roadmaps for AMD's CPU cores, systems IP, and server and client SoCs." Where has his effort taken AMD to date? So, without further detail, I cannot say that his egress is good or...
