Per the article as long as you’re not on pre release firmware it shouldn’t be an issue. When I got the drive it didn’t fail on my write test, nor did it fail the test after updating the firmware so it seems fine.
It’s in a laptop I really don’t care about. Worst case it becomes a Linux only SSD and put the old drive back into that laptop.
I hope that’s the case because I picked up one of these drives for CHEAP on clearance.
I tried to make it fail before migrating my install over but even with over 60 gigs of data copied it had no issues.
There’s no drm on band camp
What distro are you running? I can’t believe it wouldn’t flush cache before hibernating on any OS.
Reading has never been a problem for any solid state media. Once it’s written you can read it as many times as you’d like with almost no wear. Writing can be a problem, but they say the SD cards are read only once they’re made so unless you’re constantly swapping software on the card then you’ll be fine.
and most of them are better that the windows-only options. Gimp
Lmao.
If you want a lot of VRAM then it makes sense to go with a phat bus. The 5090 has a 512 bit bus so maybe AMD is going to try to compete with Nvidias next flagship? AI needs a lot of bandwidth as well.
That said I’d really like to see more 384 bit cards. It’s enough bandwidth for 4k, lets you get a lot of VRAM without crazy dense modules, but you’re not wasting so much silicon space on the bus. Currently it’s the 5090 with a 512 bit bus, or a 5080/9070 all the way down with a 256 bit bus.
About 90 degrees for me
Those two devices are not at all comparable.
If it’s an LSI card then make sure it’s either been flashed into IT mode, is capable of being flashed into IT mode, or is relatively modern and has that option built in.
What you really want is an HBA, but HBAs can be expensive, a raid card flashed to act as an HBA is typically much cheaper. A 6 gbit SAS card will do 3gbit sata, and no hard drive should be writing more than 3gbit. If you want to do SSDs then find a relatively more modern 12 gbit SAS card which will do 6gb sata.
I guess also look out for the REALLY old ones that won’t do over like 3tb. But I bought one of those for $20 almost 10 years ago so that shouldn’t be a concern. Those are probably all in the trash by now.
Do you really need direct OEM driver support after the 1st OS version? Usually the open source drivers are good enough by the time the next release comes out. After 4 years do they not have functional drivers for that machine?
Something actually capable of doing this well? Even a raspberry pi would be better suited.
Yeah my first guess was lack of port forwarding. If neither you, nor the other people are port forwarded then you can’t establish the connection.
I’m curious if the torrent protocol could be updated to allow a Tailscale style NAT traversal so port forwarding wouldn’t even be needed. That would be a game changer, but would probably add wayyyyy too much overhead for the tracker to manage.
You know google searches are personalized right? Not everyone sees the same thing.
Maybe if you buy a Kia. Most cars barely depreciate in the first 3 years. Once leases turn in they drop a bit, but still not to 50% of their value. Shit during the pandemic my 3 year old car was worth more than what I bought it for. Things have improved, but they’re not to pre pandemic pricing.
Kia’s and Hyundais also aren’t depreciating as badly as they used to. But they’re still pretty bad, only being rivaled by the high end luxury cars.
Depends, are you trying to archive your tapes, or are you trying to archive the movies on them?
Steam hardware survey page doesn’t even list “Radeon HD” anywhere on it so probably less than 1% of the market. I think the (previous) post mining boom killed off a lot of those cards. Used RX 480 and 580s started flooding the market for cheap and performed the better for less money and power.
You don’t check your spam folder?
Why would you? Unless something you wanted wasn’t showing up why would I voluntarily want to look at spam?
S0 standby is the problem. It’s a flawed idea from the start. The theory is it’s more “secure” or something. But like… Who cares about stealing shit from memory going from sleep to wake.
Now my laptop drops 20% charge in 5-10 minutes and goes into hibernation. It draws more power than if it’s on.
You can build one, but it’s going to be everything you don’t want.
Devices like that are only so compact and sleek because every component was built/picked exactly for that spot. They knew what had to fit around what.
A hobbyist building their own thing is stuck picking stuff up off the shelf. None of that will fit as tightly together as the steam deck.
