On the commodore 64 with 64MB RAM and 1 1MHZ CPU, you had a hard time with bitmaps, the entire windows operating system display is a bitmap.. But For C64 all the characters are translated bitmaps so games use tiles, which replaced characters and hence it worked fine and seemed fast. Kind of like...
I just got a 8TB SMR drive that seems to perform just as well as the WDC 8TB reds so I am happy with it. And I have 2 of those 2TB drives with the deeper indent that are great drives so I got the exact 3TB model which is the worst drive I have ever used. I also have a 1TB drve which is really...
I heard a lot of hype about SSD's and in the end I got one. But I never noticed any speed difference between my HD and the SSD. It is like less than a second difference to the desktop.. Where I do notice a difference is when I have 500 windows open in my browser.. The HD takes a second to...
I noticed that when they say memory, now they mean NAND memory and not working memory which even in high end stuff is 2-4GB's.. Which in PC terms would be 32-64GB;s so I think sales of DDR will drop drastically even though there are more things using RAM these days. But Nand seems to be...
They must have been doing something wrong like inserting the card side ways since we have people with real world experience who have used this for a decade without any problems and they insist this is some kind of glitch in the user experience. I know I had to use a knife to cut the sides off to...
For an year I drove a car with only 3 pistons working.. It was slow and a pain to get started but heck it worked and I thought it was normal.. And yea I had no idea until someone else told me after checking the spark plugs.. And I dont go make claims about such things if I dont know about them...
This is definitely a problem with like UPS's and such where power spikes will burn of a little bit of the chips each time and they still work as long as things are normal but act flaky when things are not perfect. After using half a dozen of them things, I learnt to not rely on them after like...
If this dont include operating system files then copying directories would be the safest bet, what I mean by that is all backup programs I have ysed have drive spanning so it fills data to multiple drives but they put that as one large file. Any error and it is much harder to restore those...
You can still re write the card like 200 times. They do work like a very cheap SSD so that still means you can write 3TB of data easily to the card.. It is why for cameras you buy expensive cards costing 5-10 times as much since they are SLC usually for high end cameras and cheaper MLC cards for...
I have noticed speed changes with chips after a while, but usually it is to a lower degree because the circuits are made from deposits and those flake and burn off so the circuits are less reliable.. So this might be a case of higher voltage to the chips or some other variable like line...
From my own testing the Toshiba runs on the low end of the scale, The hottest one is the 1.5TB Seagate which would hit 70C.. I put a heat sink on it to cool it down.. Maybe why they had such high failure rates.. The 1TB model which uses less platters ran the coolest like a green drive. So I...
At idle you are talking about saving like a watt and during use it is like 3-4 watts.. Not a lot of usage there to matter but you will notice the speed difference with the faster drive. This matters when you have 20 drives in the system as you need fans for the heat and a bigger power supply...
Even if they are the same NAND, those nand cells can not hold the charge after 500 or so writes. hence why TLC fails faster.. MLC has better chances up to 3000 erases.. But SLC mode itself can handle 100K erases.. Since any chanrge would indicate a change in the cell.. There are ways to increase...
PCIE sata 3 cards mostly run at 5Gb and not 6Gb like SATA3.. also they will be slower than the SATA3 on the mother board. So you have to get one which does do 6Gb speeds and they use 4 PCI lanes of 2.5gb's.. many of the cheap ones only use 2 which is why you only get 5Gb speeds.. Not many...
Even though the speeds are 50% higher between the low end and high end ram, actual real world performance hit will be less than 10%. The only time the ram speeds make a difference is for things like data base acces where a lot of data is in ram and calculations are done on it. The CPU itself ha...
