I wonder if a sufficiently large #RAID 0 array of #floppy drives could match the throughput of an #SSD, and if so, how many drives it would take.

Let's see…

The Crucial T705 does sequential IO at 13387 MB/s, or 109666304 kbps. A floppy drive can do sequential IO at 250 kbps.

So, an array of 438665 floppy drives should be about the same speed, and would store about 602 GB. Not bad.

Now, how do I connect 438665 floppy drives to one computer? 🤔

Someone essentially designed a #PCB that they're now selling bare or with NAND/SSD pre-soldered for upgrading/replacing the #SSD module of your #Apple #MacMini M4 very easily. It's amazing how informative and transparent the video is at meticulously explaining the engineering design and component decisions behind their custom module, when I expected them to only demonstrate it, nothing more.

Unrelated note, the moment the dude tried to show an example of what an airplane "rudder" is by showing a picture of MAS's, in combination with his distinct Malay, (
Americanised for YouTube) English accent - I immediately checked his website and Linktree and right enough, the dude's a Malaysian lol.

Good to know that if I decide to get a Mac Mini I could upgrade the SSD myself without paying Apple or expensive shipping cost. I'd still probably need to upgrade from the
measly 16GB of RAM though on the base model by paying Apple's 10x markup for no good reason.

Die SSD in der Mac mini M4-Generation ist gesteckt und austauschbar, sodass ihr euren Speicher kostengünstig erweitern könnt. 🤓🔧 Händler wie M4 SSD und Expand Mac Mini bieten kompatible Aufrüstkits an, die deutlich günstiger sind als Apples Upgrade-Optionen.

An NVMe drive is giving me 700% faster performance than my previous SATA SSD drive

I just upgraded my main boot drive on my Linux desktop, from a 120 GB SATA SSD drive to a 500 GB NVMe SSD drive. Whilst it is true the Crucial CT120BX100SSD1 SSD was not the fastest SSD around, it shows a rating of max of 6Gb/s through the SATA inte ...continues

Ich brauche mal euer Schwarmwissen:

Findet jemand heraus, ob das Modell HFS001TEJ9X115N identisch mit der P41 ist? 2280er SSD von Sk Hynix. Man findet zu dem ersten Modelcode nur Tests, aber keine Kaufoptionen in Shops.

Diverse HW Tools unter #Linux und Windows werfen nur den langen Code aus, die P41 scheint von den grundsätzlichen Specs her aber identisch zu sein.

Selbst die Ersatzteildatenbank bei Lenovo (Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Laptop) kennt den langen Code nicht und bietet auch nur #SSD anderer Hersteller an.

Der Support von Sk Hynix war in der Hinsicht ein Witz, bei Lenovo warte ich noch auf Antwort.

Mein Laptop kam bereits mit 2 SSD, aber ich habe noch 2 weitere Leute an der Hand, die sich den gleichen Laptop gekauft haben, nur mit 1 SSD. Die wollen beide nachrüsten.
