I could never understand people who keep hundreds of tabs open. Most content these days expires an hour after it's generated so 3/4 of those will become 404s or session expires

Not everyone uses clickbait Web 3.0 sites.

Is the 850 EVO Samsung the same Samsung as the Note 7 Samsung?

BIG HEADLINE posted:

The only thing they have in common is that the NAND for the Note 7 (not what made it explode) was made by the same people who make the EVO. I don't even know if Samsung made the batteries that made the Note 7s explode, and there's a chance the reason they did is that they went 'cheap and fast' to beat the iPhone 7 to market instead of 'slow, steady, and safe.'

They switched from a Samsung battery supplier to another supplier and still had the same issue. It wasn't the batteries that were flawed.

I don't think it was the batteries themselves, but more the way they were trying to force the size of battery into the space it had in the Note. Crimping edges of the battery as it was put together which cause either battery manufacture's battery to end up burning.

The only way around that would have been them changing the phones internal design (unlikely) or go to a smaller battery (why they didn't just do this instead of eating the entire Note lineup is a bit puzzling to me.)

Because the current speculation (afaik) was that it's not the batteries at all, it's probably something with the charging/power delivery design that's flawed. They went up in flames no matter which batteries or if they were charging or not.

Some boards with 2 m.2 slots restrict each to PCIE x2 instead of x4 when both are in use, so that's another thing to weary of.

I'm weary of a great many things these days.

Mine doesn't OC worth a drat, which is probably why it was open box. I needed a replacement for my dad gigabyte board.

Right now it's my NAS.

Welp... I have benchmarks for the intel 600p 1TB.

This is on a Z270 board with a 7700K. I'm pretty sure I have all the relevant drivers and whatnot installed. I can do another test if people are interested. I'll have the thing for at least another 24 hours.



You should at least put a tab in the background entitled "How to take a screenshot" if you're gonna do this gag...

Access latencies are still a lot longer on SSDs than RAM, afaik. I definitely wouldn't rely on virtual memory to make up for missing RAM.
