It will be a while before 3D XPoint will be commonplace as system storage, and it will not be cheap.
Smart Response Technology will be used for Optane caching.
I suspect that given the number of companies making NAND and the cost of 3D XPoint memory, it will be three to five years before another memory technology (3D XPoint or otherwise) will replace it.
The way I see it, the mainstream market will be on 3D TLC NAND for years to come, while premium consumer systems may have varying amounts of 3D XPoint memory.
@bwDraco in such tiny quantities that I feel like having traditional NAND tiered storage might be faster for many workloads -- e.g. a 256GB or larger (512, even 1 TB) read/write NAND cache in front of HDD(s)
@allquixotic The problem is that 3D XPoint is that it's too expensive in large quantities, and I doubt it's going to be cost-competitive with 3D TLC NAND within the next five years. Micron says the cost of 3D XPoint is about half that of DRAM but 5x that of NAND. A memory unit with 16 GB of 3D XPoint is going to cost about $40-70.
I know this is another WCCF link but this is in regard to a product announcement, not rumors: wccftech.com/…
> This is not a replacement technology. This is an invention that opens up new sorts of applications.
32 GB of 3D XPoint will likely cost at least $80-100. It's just not cost-effective, especially for OEMs/SIs, past this point.
Besides, only one manufacturer of this technology exists, and it's IMFT. It will not be licensed to other firms.
@bwDraco like what? isn't DRAM strictly faster? ... so unless you end up with more XPoint than you have DRAM, it's a waste, IMO
if I had 64 GB of DRAM I'd expect at least 128 GB of XPoint to complement
and for most consumer, enterprise and prosumer workloads.... basically everything but scientific computing... NAND SSDs are plenty fast for disk caching
decided the entire concept was dumb for most purposes. the only place it MIGHT make some sense is if you really really needed lots of storage space on a limited budget on a laptop without an additional bay.
@allquixotic wasn't reliability a bigger selling point?
@Bob are modern high-quality prosumer and enterprise SSDs particularly unreliable, assuming correct TRIM configuration and optimal block size usage, alignment, etc?
I recall you saying that many of the early model failures were due to bad SATA controllers, not so much that the NAND chips themselves gave up the magic dust
but I've seen much more robust controller boards shipped with current-gen SSDs, making that less likely
dija know that 2017-2020 is supposed to statistically be the highest rate of baby boomer EOL so while "boomers" have been dying off left and right, the highest concentrsation is supposed to be in these next 3 years. there are more "celebrities" well first there is 500 channels not 13 , there is youtube celebs, there are more musical artists, there is massive quantities of entertainment being created in america, while there is nothing else manufactured in america (cept some commertial jets, and military things, which (if you think about it) dont make up a balanced manufacturing.
one could look at it more like , america has gone from 1 story teller per fireside venue to every person around the fire has only a story to tell :-) and some chinese junk to sell.
so my conclusion is A) more people who at any time had ever achieved celebrity status, are dying. B) due to the lack of any real product being manufactured in america , there is more "celebrity" C) there is more "entertainment" even if nobody is actually watching/clicking through it, therfore more story tellers exist, and eventually they will die.
I have a 1TB Seagate External hard drive. Upon trying to plug it in to my TV today, it would not load and told me it was "empty". So I tried to plug it in to my computer, at this point it started beeping rapidly for about 10 seconds and although the computer recognizes the usb port being used, it...
I got kali linux installed on my pc for a while but now linux will not boot in gui mode , only in text mode ( terminal ).
I get no errors on booting it goes directly to the login screen .
Hope you can help me and yes I tried googling it.
I just installed Kali Linux on Dell Inspiron 1545, and am unable to get wireless connection.
I attempted the following
root@kali:~# lspci -knn | grep Net -A2

I'm using latest version of Debian based linux Kali. Maybe it is XY problem, as main problem is after I log in to the system got blank screen and mouse pointer. Somebody on internet recommend me to change window manager.
But I'm unable to do this as I can't connect to wifi.
I found tutorial how...
Though at least when mucking around with low-level Windows stuff I vaguely know what I'm doing. Can't say the same for my (lack of) knowledge of other OSes.
for me, I've had sparingly little low-level mucking to do on my primary desktop's Windows 10... not even all that much on Windows 8.1
the extent of my problems over the past... year-plus? was that one memory leak that has been quietly fixed either with a Windows update or a Nvidia driver update
I even managed to get past my cheap-ass Z170M motherboard (a very low-end model) having one single USB 3.0 root controller / getting overloaded by getting two very high quality USB hubs
@Bob well, the ones I have may still use VIA chipsets, but they're not using the specific ones that Anker used that were incredibly unreliable and got totally bricked by firmware updates
