@whack At the premium #Apple charges for #SOC #storage I never max it out. I also don’t buy into “oh just attach more external disk!” Especially not with a laptop. #Dongles be damned. I’d like to see #NVMe slots added so we have a cheaper onboard option that enables later #expansion without full system swap.

There are aspects to the Apple #ecosystem I love but, despite Apple silicon, it’s getting much harder not to dump them for #Linux on AMD or pick-an-ARM.

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

Benchmark results for a Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB, showing read/write speeds in MB/s for various tests in KDiskMark.

OMG 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 :linux:

@abulling
From a different point of views and the fact that one can host a Server on any machine.

Components or machines should avoid as many parts as possible from big tech Bros. That means all for recommendations before should be ignored.
AMD instead of Intel and Nvidia is more compatible with Linux as it supports it.

I'll keep my current stuff as it does not make sense to throw functional parts away, but I'll consider this on next sets.

What do you think?

BTW - if anyone of you has a recommendation for a 19" mini rack server (shorter mounting depth) I'd love to hear about them.

I'd like to try #proxmox for the typical services #homeassistant #nextcloud #paperlessngx #adblocker #vpn etc

Ideally #ssd or #nvme in a #raid plus separate disks for storage (also raid). IOMMU

Doesn't have to be the newest version. A slightly older and used one is also fine.

#boost welcome - thanks a lot!

pull my strings

followup to this #XPS 13 issue: user error!

I installed an M2 2280 #nvme disk in an M2 2280 #SATA slot. what was especially perplexing was it was usable post-boot just fine? could install operating systems, read, write, etc

replaced with the correct drive type and now it boots fine #solved

I've never been fond of #JMicron #USB bridges! #SATA or #NVMe! (#ASMedia ain't much better?)

It's just a pain in the rear to pull #SMART reports off the drive!

NO, i friggen DO NOT WANT TO fumble around with "-d", and quirks, and shiz!

Tools on friggen #Windows (#CrystalDiskInfo) CAN DO it, so SHOULD smartmontools on #Linux, automatically!

(back in the 480mbps USB 2.0 days - things were BETTER - current #Linux code hasn't caught up)

…or is it #Firmware?

My Ventoy/Medicat SSD is an NVME, via a JMicron bridge - i CAN'T pull a SMART report, without wasting half a day reading manuals …and then likely still failing - not sure how ASMedia fares, but i despise JMicron in particular, notoriously

So #NVMe drives are just sticks , yes ? So the obvious simple easy thing would’ve have been a couple of front case external usb like ports to stick them in for easy swaps and upgrades, yes ? No . Too easy. Still not a thing. Innovation can’t be that simple. No one should have such thoughts. Especially not design engineers

I know it's a first world problem, but what should I do with NVMe drives of 500GB capacity that I've replaced as part of a server upgrade?

Doing 1TB in a RAID0 for backup doesn't make sense (too small, and I already have an on site backup solution).

Donating is my default, but I'd rather repurpose... but for what purpose?
