    RAM performance test by frame time analysis [PCgameshardware.de]

    On the commodore 64 with 64MB RAM and 1 1MHZ CPU, you had a hard time with bitmaps, the entire windows operating system display is a bitmap.. But For C64 all the characters are translated bitmaps so games use tiles, which replaced characters and hence it worked fine and seemed fast. Kind of like...

    A non-hater Seagate thread

    I just got a 8TB SMR drive that seems to perform just as well as the WDC 8TB reds so I am happy with it. And I have 2 of those 2TB drives with the deeper indent that are great drives so I got the exact 3TB model which is the worst drive I have ever used. I also have a 1TB drve which is really...

    Would it really matter to buy a high performance SSD compared to a mediocre SSD?

    I heard a lot of hype about SSD's and in the end I got one. But I never noticed any speed difference between my HD and the SSD. It is like less than a second difference to the desktop.. Where I do notice a difference is when I have 500 windows open in my browser.. The HD takes a second to...

    Price Gap Between DDR3 and DDR4 Memory Almost Gone

    I noticed that when they say memory, now they mean NAND memory and not working memory which even in high end stuff is 2-4GB's.. Which in PC terms would be 32-64GB;s so I think sales of DDR will drop drastically even though there are more things using RAM these days. But Nand seems to be...

    SD card lifespan?

    They must have been doing something wrong like inserting the card side ways since we have people with real world experience who have used this for a decade without any problems and they insist this is some kind of glitch in the user experience. I know I had to use a knife to cut the sides off to...

    Does RAM burn in over time?

    For an year I drove a car with only 3 pistons working.. It was slow and a pain to get started but heck it worked and I thought it was normal.. And yea I had no idea until someone else told me after checking the spark plugs.. And I dont go make claims about such things if I dont know about them...

    Does RAM burn in over time?

    This is definitely a problem with like UPS's and such where power spikes will burn of a little bit of the chips each time and they still work as long as things are normal but act flaky when things are not perfect. After using half a dozen of them things, I learnt to not rely on them after like...

    Backup to multiple smaller drives

    If this dont include operating system files then copying directories would be the safest bet, what I mean by that is all backup programs I have ysed have drive spanning so it fills data to multiple drives but they put that as one large file. Any error and it is much harder to restore those...

    SD card lifespan?

    You can still re write the card like 200 times. They do work like a very cheap SSD so that still means you can write 3TB of data easily to the card.. It is why for cameras you buy expensive cards costing 5-10 times as much since they are SLC usually for high end cameras and cheaper MLC cards for...

    Does RAM burn in over time?

    I have noticed speed changes with chips after a while, but usually it is to a lower degree because the circuits are made from deposits and those flake and burn off so the circuits are less reliable.. So this might be a case of higher voltage to the chips or some other variable like line...

    Toshiba 7200rpm drives run hot?

    From my own testing the Toshiba runs on the low end of the scale, The hottest one is the 1.5TB Seagate which would hit 70C.. I put a heat sink on it to cool it down.. Maybe why they had such high failure rates.. The 1TB model which uses less platters ran the coolest like a green drive. So I...

    New WD Green or old WD Black as storage drive?

    At idle you are talking about saving like a watt and during use it is like 3-4 watts.. Not a lot of usage there to matter but you will notice the speed difference with the faster drive. This matters when you have 20 drives in the system as you need fans for the heat and a bigger power supply...

    Which SSD would you chose?

    Even if they are the same NAND, those nand cells can not hold the charge after 500 or so writes. hence why TLC fails faster.. MLC has better chances up to 3000 erases.. But SLC mode itself can handle 100K erases.. Since any chanrge would indicate a change in the cell.. There are ways to increase...

    SSD Sata 2 vs Sata 3 user experience?

    PCIE sata 3 cards mostly run at 5Gb and not 6Gb like SATA3.. also they will be slower than the SATA3 on the mother board. So you have to get one which does do 6Gb speeds and they use 4 PCI lanes of 2.5gb's.. many of the cheap ones only use 2 which is why you only get 5Gb speeds.. Not many...

    Impact of slow RAM

    Even though the speeds are 50% higher between the low end and high end ram, actual real world performance hit will be less than 10%. The only time the ram speeds make a difference is for things like data base acces where a lot of data is in ram and calculations are done on it. The CPU itself ha...

    Disabling Seagate USB SATA Controller emulation

    I have a 3TB seagate and it will not work, I also have many of seagate USB-Sata adapters and they all emulate so will not work! Did you try to see if the data you saved onto the drive matches what was displayed whenconnected to the USB adapter? 2TB and under drives do not have any problems...

    recovering Raid 0 drives from old laptop

    aigomorla I have had the same problems, although it might have been because the software was not smart enough and we could not configure anything on it. I think what they are saying is that now, BSD has some tools that will let you specify all the raid options to get data off the drive. Thats...

    Is faster ram better quality ram?

    Can you imagine the number of fabs Intel would have to run if they had to make seperate chips for each and every release? All the CPU's are the same, they change jumpers so they work at different speeds.. Same with memory. In some cases AMD sold 3 core cpu's where the 4th was disabled. But I...

    my 3TB seagate stopped working

    just a note, viruses and the like can get to the bios but they are very uncommon. They can even change a pen drive to act like a storage device and activate and then infect everything else you have. But all this would be hard to do by accident as they work by propagation and doing things like...

    my 3TB seagate stopped working

    Looks like the power out causes sector errors, most likely on the MFT area or some such.. So you have to wipe the drive using the seagate tools to recover from it. You can try copying files if they are important and save it somewhere first if you can get that far.. This happens very often. Low...

    Slower Firestrike Bench results with Dual Channel vs Single stick?

    Maybe dual channel is adding latency. But the fetch size would be double than that of single channel. So the code also has to match. If data is fetched in a dword size that would not use the entire 128bits.. It would just discard the extra data and not use it but instructions that contain data...

    Samsung TLC erase block sizes

    a LONG time ago people found this info and made their sector size and partition info match but these days it changes between capacity and versions and controllers and what not. I dont think it really matters for normal users. No one is going to use 1TB of writes every day.. They are designed to...

    Samsung TurboWrite endurance

    SLC zones have 100K write endurance so why bother? MLC is like 10K and TLC like under 3K.. Huge difference in their performance.. Also using a disk cache helps with the endurance as you write out finished blocks rather than every bit of data you send to the drive. It all helps.. Both caches help...

    Is there a way to change a hard drive manufacturers name?

    Boot with Remote control

    BUT none of these methods will allow you to select a particular hard drive to boot off remotely..

What he coudl do is to use some kind of power on adapter for external USB drives and...

    Laptop Ram Disk?

    Adding the laptop ram to a desktop using an adapter is a bad idea unless your desktop is slow to begin with. The adapter will make the latency higher than the standard ram on the desktop. When the computer boots up it will add all the ram to memory and show you a bigger memory space but some of...

    Slow HDD, why?

    The graph indicates the drive has errors, do a smart check with crystal disk info and see how many reallocated sectors it has, should be a LOT by the looks of the graph. If the MFT is in those areas, and the reallocated sectors are at the end of the drive the speeds would drop drastically when...

    Problematic DDR4-3000 speeds

    Dont have any with DDR4 only DDR2 with similar problems. So why don't you instead of annoying others. Maybe you think you are too smart and above others. Or maybe you are just an ass, you find a few of them on every forum and site.

    Problematic DDR4-3000 speeds

    Their binning process must be very lax.. As they do not make memory for different timing but bin them for certain speeds, you can use slower memory and it would still work most likely.. But the faster speeds only mean it was tested and certified.. But that certification could be that it worked...

    Cheap 3TB Toshiba HDD - is there a catch?

    heh ALL of them are rather stingy with warranty claims. Unlike before where they used to send you a drive that would work, these days they turn down claims for any and all reasons. I sent in a rather new drive that developed errors, got a refurbished one back, would not have minded so much but...

    USB Hub Lock

    But if the drives are spanned then you wont be able to read the data unless all 3 drives are connected. If you use any kind of parity setup then connecting 2 of the drives will make the drives readable.

    Good operating temp for Western digital Black 1 tb??

    My 1TB seagate govers around 40C as well during use. It goes to the low 30's when idle. But unlike its bigger cousin it never gets all that hot. The 1.5TB drive using 5 platters work at over 60C and hits 70C after an hour of use.

    Cheap 3TB Toshiba HDD - is there a catch?

    Toshiba uses better quality components so I would definitely got for it. Although with high tech, using better components is not as important as better software and support. As we saw with the samsung SSD's, although using similar components, their software has created a drive far superior to...

    Getting a new ext hdd, need opinions

    Just use hard and soft links with junction type commands and move entire directories to the hard drive. That way you dont need to make any changes. Any folder that uses up a large amount of space can be moved to the hard drive and a junction placed in the original location. There are programs...

    External HDD enclosure that recognizes 5TB+ with USB3.0

    The problem with USB interfaces are they do sector translations so drives larger than 2TB will work with MBR. So you need to ask if they are direct pass through or is it translated. I have both and I prefer the one without any translation so I can hook up the drive to the computer and be able...

    Lots of SSD Activity after removing Several Gigs of Data

    This slow down happens with hard drive as well. The drive seems to do something, although it is only clearing the MFT off the index and marking them as free. You can use shadow explorer to get the files back if you have system restore turned on and windows does not write anything to the areas...

    SD cards lifespan

    Even if you erase it every day you still get like 10 years of use from it. So I dont see the point of going all extra to save a few write cycles. It is not like a professional video shoot where you use the card like a dozen times a day.. In which case those pro cards are most likely SLC and not...

    Getting a new ext hdd, need opinions

    I think the WDC drive has a built in USB port and the samsung is a regular laptop drive so I would go for the samsung as if something happens I can take the drive out and connect it to a SATA port to get my data off it. You can check the length of the case and if they use a separate USB bridge...

    Worth it to change OS SSD to faster SSD?

    If you were reading a LOT of small files you would notice a response difference, where the faster drive would show instant updates while with the slower one there would be a pause that is noticeable even if its only like 200-300 ms.. This is still faster than you could click anything but you do...
