Question SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD Write speed dropped by half

My initial test after setting up this new computer (5 months ago). Glad I am a data nerd... And just now that I read about the issue on Reddit. I did trim and values didn't change much.

Cryptocoin Mining?

As I've said repeatedly, the power costs DO NOT MATTER if you are currently paying for electric heat. All you are doing is substituting a heater that does calculations for a heater that doesn't do calculations. The only reason NOT to mine (given above scenario) is if you are worried about wear...

1155 EOL Upgrade

Bottom out means that the price hits the lowest it will be from a retailer. I fully understand how the pricing of these things work. I never said that the price will be heavily discounted or go to zero. The price started higher for a given item, right? The price is now lower for a given item...

1155 EOL Upgrade

Since 1150 is coming soon, I'd imagine that 1155 cpu prices will probably bottom out soon. I like to upgrade in this order: cpu/mobo (at beginning of run), cpu (at end of run), cpu/mobo, etc. I'm currently running a 2500k and I'm wondering what cpu would be a decent upgrade for it, keeping in...

Heat does not rise. Hot air rises on Earth due to buoyancy effects.

Cryptocoin Mining?

Let's say just 1% of the world's population sees the value in bitcoin as an alternative currency. Let's say that they each want the ability to store the equivalent of $1000 USD. That means: .01*7E9*1000 = the amount of value the currency needs to be able to store = $70 billion Let's do a...

BTC is moving up but not on large volume. Which tells me that there isn't much support at these price levels. I think we'll see a large correction in the next week or so.

Cryptocoin Mining?

If you have electric heat, bitcoins are ALWAYS profitable. Hell, I even CPU mine Litecoin while I'm away from the house. It is extremely inefficient, but that electric heater inside my computer case is doing a whole lot more for me than the electric heater that only puts out heat. As for the...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Why is it irrational? If you believe it has a future as an alternative world wide currency, then it will need to replace at least a few percentage points of the world's monetary supply. Do the math, taking into consideration the limited supply of Bitcoins and you'll see that its value is still...

Difficulty restoring system image

Yeah I can solve the problem using other methods. In fact, I ended up using the Seagate disc tool (rebranded Acronis TI) to get the job done. I just want to know how to get the windows system image method to work as I like to solve problems using the built-in windows tools whenever possible...

Dual monitors - one blurry one crisp

This is probably just a typo but in case it isn't, your resolution should actually be 1920x1080.
