Reliable Flash drive for OS?

And I could see that in a desktop environment, but with this use, as a POS terminal, i am not sure there would be a more distributed wear. These drives use 6.4 of 16 gb, and do not grow. There are probably some temp files that get created and deleted, but I would suspect most of the writing is...

Reliable Flash drive for OS?

More info: USB 2, 16 gb drives (6.4gb used), linux based (2.6 i believe). https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-16GB-DataTraveler-DTMCK/dp/B007V9U81E The bigger drive is an interesting idea, although would the same blocks receive the same wear even on a bigger drive? If we don't find a...

Reliable Flash drive for OS?

Looking for recommendations on a reliable flash drive to boot and run an OS off of. A bit of background, this is for a retrofitted point of sale system, and the supplied drives from the vendor die every 3-6 months. The point of sales are used continuously 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. It...

New Router - Consumer Grade or Ubiquiti?

I have only used the ea6900 with dd-wrt (we need dd-wrt because of a hotspot service we use.) I believe Xvortex modified the CFE for the ea6900 from the Asus RT-AC68U CFE, if you dig through the dd-wrt thread I linked to, you can follow the process of coming up with a working CFE for the...

New Router - Consumer Grade or Ubiquiti?

The modified CFE corrects a bug which leads to nvram corruptions on the ea6900 when using more than 32kb, and this corruption will happen regardless of firmware. At one point the modified CFE was required for XVortex builds for the ea6900 (if memory serves), and that may have changed, but you...

New Router - Consumer Grade or Ubiquiti?

Before you do that, get Xvortex's modified CFE, which I think is required to utilize the merlin firmware anyway, but will also make dd-wrt firmware stable. As far as i am concerned, the ea6900 is unusable with dd-wrt without it, but is actually quite a nice router with it. edit...

Laptop motherboard ground question

Well i decided i am just going to keep the metal lining, figured it cant hurt, so why not. There were several parts that protruded up and made contact with the xbox motherboard, and thats why i was originally just going to take it out (since i didnt see the purpose of it,) but they broke off...

Laptop motherboard ground question

So I have collected a bunch of laptop hardware, and plan to make a low power torrent/music box. I am going to house it all in an xbox which bit the dust, and i had originally planned on taking out all the metal foil that lined the inside of the xbox. Then it occurred to me that most laptops I...

Powerbook parts compatibility

So does anyone know if a powerbook needs a dc-dc board to operate? And will dc-in boards from other PB models work? from the pictures (which could be deceiving) the titanium dc-in plug looks very similar to the aluminum plug, minus the modem jack. The cables and all that look to be the same...
