Yep - Looks like an advertisement for SSds.

I wonder how the Samsung 850s would fair with vNAND.
Congrats on 4k :-)

I wasn't even paying attention… I'll have to change my name to chatty-cathy...
Yeah - I'm starting to get happy with the state of SSDs. Mine are all doing great and I'm probably going to drop HDD for everything except mass storage from here on out.
-
I have two 850 EVO 500GB, 256 830, and an 840 EVO 120 in my desktop.
-
Running about 10 kingstons and 5 samsungs. The samsungs are all old/slow SLCs that will probably never ever die.
The kingstons will maybe die eventually. Who knows?But I have a pretty good feeling about the newer samsung pro. Gotta get rid of my slow OS drives in my stuff. Soon… Soon... (money)
Anyway - yeah. Good stuff.

Be leery of any firmware upgrades. Never apply them the instant they are released. Several months back Samsung released a firmware update for the 850s that bricked quite a few. Covered by warranty, but probably would have been fine without the update.
I can't wait for memristors. No more complex wear leveling algorithms with race conditions or sketchy firmware that can "forget" your disk layout.
-
Yeah - I'll be lucky if I can remember where I put my keys and what size diaper I wear by the time that tech becomes available to the masses…
-
Mass production of memristors was supposed to start this year. Not sure if still on track. HP has a whole new datacenter platform that will be based on memristors with a "unified memory" system where memory and storage are the same thing. Instead of having storage and ram being separate, they're all the same thing, but partitioned for legacy OSs to look separate. Custom OSs will be able to do special things.
Their new platform will support petabytes of memory/storage and will had a worse case of 250ns access to memory/storage anywhere in the datacenter. That 250ns is the full round trip time from the request being made to the first byte being delivered.
Their idea is that all of these nodes could act like a single clustered mainframe, but also have decent legacy performance and work with regular operating systems.

I also read the brochure. Looks good. Sure sounds nice.
-
I am impressed. Not being able to easily recover data is a bit unexpected though.
Now it is time to upgrade to SATA, I guess. :-[ -
Ohhhhhhhhh Yeah. Definitely way past time to get on board with SATA :o

Yeah, maybe. ::)
Next you will tell me I need to "upgrade" my flip-phone to a smart-phone… now get off my lawn! >:(

haha.
You are killing me. I get it. I only recently threw out my abacus.

You should have donated your abacus to me - An abacus does not need power. :P
-
Neither does a 2$ solar calculator and they ship easier…
-
The abacus doesn't even need to exist. ;)
