but its a carry case, not a proper one. And the 'proper' case is quite shiny. Looks like it has enough space to mod a ribbon cable out if you wanted to too
I have a Samsung 830 256gb SSD, bought it a couple weeks ago. Two or three times now I've seen this thing where all of a sudden it'll get really slow, practically stop responding, while I'm using my computer. For example it just did it a few minutes ago - I was playing a game and a loading screen hung instead of blinking by like it normally does. Any idea why this might happen?
I'm in Windows 8 now but it was happening in 7 (just upgraded yesterday). Task manager is showing an average response time of 16,500 ms and write speed of 2 MB/s during a benchmark running via the official software... I shudder to think what this benchmark's results are going to be...
Hmm the benchmark just finished... Sequential read ~510 MB/s, random read ~62,000 IOPS. Sequential write is a little sliver of a bar, and random write doesn't even show up as a bar at all (on the bar graphs).
So apparently something about writes is entirely stopped
@r.tanner.f it's pretty terrible to our south and west, i think it just missed my little cubbyhole just a little bit... kind of like threading a needle
it's been awful all around us but we still have power somehow
our LTE is ultra resilient to weather... our landlines must be unshielded copper wire run about an inch under the sidewalk because i swear when we had DSL we'd lose internet if someone walked down the street
@ronalchn Yeah - people will find different things valuable, and that will help them decide. The low cost to upgrade drops the barrier too. I was referring to myself - I haven't seen anything that would encourage me to upgrade.
@JoeStavitsky Not specifically I guess? I am always wary of MS disk management as beyond simple setups the partitions become difficult to access from linux (in dual boot), so I do all my disk management from the linux side. I haven't noticed any performance stuff - the W8 I have is a clean install so not really representative. And recovery? Windows never goes wrong so who needs it? :)
@JoeStavitsky With Windows dual boot I use two disks - one for linux boot and one for Windows boot. So when I install I make the Windows disk primary, and install. It can do what it likes to mbr. Then I switch the grub disk back to primary and chain load Windows.
@JoeStavitsky Grub is just a boot loader, but with a secure UEFI bios, even grub won't be loaded without being signed. But if they sign grub, that stuffs up all the lilo or any other boot manager. So I think the idea is to get a pre-boot-loader-loader that all it does is load the boot loader, and get that signed. Then it will load your boot loader of choice.
@JoeStavitsky Software raid currently - the only time this is an issue is when I have to rebuild an array. This can take a while!
@JoeStavitsky I meant any instance of it, including Apple controlling the apps that run on it
with Windows RT, "Unlike other Windows operating systems, it will only be able to run software that has been certified by Microsoft and placed in the Windows Store. " -Wikipedia
I have 2 computers, one with Win7 and one with WinXP OEM. I'm thinking of upgrading the WinXP OEM edition to Win8 Pro and transfer it to the computer with Win7, and then transferring the Win7 copy over to the (formerly) WinXP one. Is this possible?
Anyone care to translate this to english? Ingress and Egress of vehicles and persons is prohibited and/or subject to the following regulations: Persons and vehicles shall stay away from areas of flooded roadways, downed trees and power lines.
@JourneymanGeek Ingress and egress of vehicles means to enter or exit a vehicle. Same goes for people. So no getting in or out of cars or other people.
I notice how they refer to vehicles in their own right. I suspect this is to make Googles self-driving cars subject to the same rules as us humans.
It is nice to see this, because one of my chief concerns about the imminant self-aware machines is that they will be treated differently to the rest of us
