    Samung EVO SSDs showing a bad behavior

    Some complaints have mentioned "high heat" with these EVOs, some have speculated that this is the TLC drawback, etc., and thus the prospect of a firmware fix seems less. But this would be the first real knock against Samsung SSDs, I think. Others have suffered model-based black-eyes, but I...

    Samung EVO SSDs showing a bad behavior

    I have a couple of duplicate EVO 250s so I'll be walking those thru client shops after any firmware fix is installed. But I still might not be inclined to be the first one on my block to have my SSD come home in a box... well, that's the modern version of that song...

    Migrate raid 1 to raid 5

    Oops... there's a missed understanding. 1. Make a backup onto a New HDD ("the file-bearing" or backup data HDD)... 2. Disconnect it. 3. Install the 2nd New HDD. 4. Wipe out RAID1 and create RAID5 on the 3 HDDs - the two old HDDs, and this 2nd New HDD (Step 3's). 5. Re-connect Step 1's...

    Samung EVO SSDs showing a bad behavior

    Back in mid-August, one of the OVERCLOCK NET writers displayed a bad behavior by his Samsung EVO SSD, and it seems to have been studied and accepted as a problem by Samsung. This issue comes from a remarkably slow-read for Old Written Data blocks. (As of this date - a bit more than a month...

    Migrate raid 1 to raid 5

    RAIDs are a file-writing-and-reading system. Fairly base-level operations to a hard-drive. There are perhaps migration levels from one RAID to another but I've never seen a good one. I never even try. When I want a 'migrate', I accept that I'm wiping out and starting from scratch. That's...

    I'm tempering those reviews with the amount of time donated by all users (Amazon, after all, wants reviews done within days or a week of 'use'). I'll also be looking into some user-group scenario - this forum is a great example for certain products, but obviously we've also got at least one...

    Police calls?!! Heavens... as long as I keep him bound and gagged and chained to the dungeon walls, I don't even have to worry about him breaking out of those windows and screaming at bystanders for help again. Boy, that was an embarrassing... He is always causing problems for me!

    Long ethernet cable runs

    GAG- 300 FEET - not meters! What do I think with something?!!. - Thanks AZA because there will be patch panels and a couple of connections at each end. We use optic fiber at our farm - that has a 2km limit but we used about 1.1km in single runs. (And we pulled 2 cables thru PVC and left...

    Are there porn sites that still 'spawn' umpteen new windows simply by sitting there? (I saw this behavior once in 2006? 2005?) I think this also spawned a lot of pop-up blockers shortly thereafter. Along with the Bash-A-Mole game.

    Hubby uses this accusation when he sees me up in curlers! "You get UHF on those things?" Never EVER ask me why I abuse him.

    TH, no, I'm completely unworthy of great engineers. I just participated in my first Ubiquiti installation 5 weekends ago and certainly the high-math might explain all but, for now, fiddling with products is going to be the extent of my experience.

    Watch up, TH! Don't give me more ideas for "101 Ways To Abuse Yer Husband". The man you save may not be yours, but he's still One Of You Guys. :D :D (hah! As if I am not way over that "101" limit!)

    I like to pretend that these photons obey behaviors (motion) similar to molecules in a fluid (or gas), simply because I can see molecular fluid motions. Fluid molecules do move in those environments. We all see that. When I compare a electromag wave's transit thru a gaseous atmosphere, it's...

    Ah yes. Receipt and Measurement vs. Transmitter's Volume. The Transmitter's volume may be calculable, but if a Receiver (that 2D Perpendicular Plane) can't access it, transmission - like writing descriptions vs. reading and understanding) - is rather mute for our purposes. Thanks...

    OK, maybe a bit further afield here - can a Radio Wave - or any energy or mass - be '2D'? (I want to avoid the 3D vs 4D-etc issue for the moment.) But this 2D formula is probably what throws me - isn't the 3D actually what happens? Can a radio wave actually be created in a 2D scale, or is...

    Yes, this is exactly what I've always meant. No one's read my statements like that, and I found myself trying to find different phrases to have this understanding. I wasn't certain I wanted to 'particle-ize' waves into sub-objects like "photons" and cheetos, chiclets or whatever humans have...

    Oh my. My TOT (Tendency Of Typo) showed up. AZA quoted me and I read my original typing: "These are infinite waves, but digital transmissions..." My fingers typed that. I DID NOT. I meant to type "These are NOT infinite waves..." Oh my. My TOT is often dropping a Negative out...

    Can I consider a "field strength" to be comparable to "photons within a cube"? In a cube near the antenna, X-number of photons would be high. Ten feet away, the same cube's capacity would have fewer photons. Is that a correct analogy for 'field strength'? (I'm just not sure antennas...

    YOU'VE FINALLY GOT IT! I've been talking ALL about that "spread out" issue. You've finally understood. I don't know how else to explain it - "splatch" didn't work, and everyone kept seeing "distance between peaks" instead of this "spread out spacing".

    Oops... wrong thread! But with a young son myself, I'll be reading with interest.
