Linux ext4 file copy test The file copy transfer rate was at best 2.3 GiB/s but got significantly worse once the drive ran out of SLC cache.

Sabrent rocket 4 plus vs Ram Disk Benchmark like atto have "direct I/O" enabled by default that will bypass the operating system, this was disabled and the performance was compared to a ram disk, no difference. There was some difference in file copy tests but i was unable to reach above...

159 GiB copy test This took about 161 seconds, video is being prepared

Random read and write was CPU limited I found this out by increasing the number of threads in CrystalDiskMark to 12 and running the random 4k Q32 test.

50 GiB folder copy test Increasing the number of files further grinded the performance down to a halt, the SSD need large files to deliver good performance (up to 1.8 GiB/s). Third copy test (50 GiB) First copy test (50 GiB) 50 Time TransferRate test1 97s 528 MiB/s test2 89s 575...

50.5 GiB folder copy test Now it was time to test the drive harder by moving a lot more files. 50.5 Time transfer rate test1 43.9s 1178 MiB/s test2 47s 1100 MiB/s test3 42.4s 1229 MiB/s

Bipolar I & lithium Finding a good study on this turned out to be impossible. https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp.161.2.217 There are 4 obvious issue with the 1973 study 0. It didn't measure important outcomes like overall quality of life, mortality rate. 1. It only...

50.4 folder copy test During the first test there was a write performance inconsistency but this didn't happen during the second or third test. 50.4 time transfer rate Test 1 44s 1173 MiB/s Test 2 29.3s 1761 MiB/s Test 3 28.4s 1817 MiB/s This was with 867 GiB of free space and...

Old vs new partition I did copy the partition via the xcopy command which took about 2 hours and 5 minutes. Then when i began to test the performance i found out that it didn't improve, instead results were a bit random and it was difficult to observe any pattern. Its unclear why the...

Verdict Unless you need more space right now your best option is probably to wait for something better. most people that buy this drive are probably not going to take the complicated and unspecified steps needed to get the performance they paid for. If it wasn't for the fact that it runs cool...

The registration process Sabrent require that you register your product to get 5 year warranty rather than the standard 1 year, unfortunatily the registration process is very inconvenient. They do not tell where do find the product serial number, i entered the number on the package (12 digits)...

Cheap nand flash? One explanation for why the warranty is limited to 1400 TBW (compared to 3600 for their older model) is that they simply use cheaper flash now and still cranks out better performance due to having a superior controller, another potential explanation is that their competition is...

Temperature Despite extensive usage it only reached the critical temperature (70 °C) 12 minutes. TBW in the picture above is the number of TeraBytes (not TiB) written divided by 140, when that number reaches 10 your warranty is gone, this is bad but the competition is even worse (not by much).

Becuase my computer was running out of space i decided to add an overpriced SSD. My case has very poor airflow (no additional fans installed yet) i decided against the more expensive and hotter running western digital SN850 2TB. I cloned the old windows 10 disk using the software sabrent...

4K blueray is worst on xbox series X PS5 is far closer to a dedicated 500$ 4K bluray player

Distiny 2 comparison No clear winner between XSX and PS5. VG tech claimed higher resolution for XSX but ElAnalistaDeBits did not reach the same conclusion: https://youtu.be/fUhnRx66eWE Destiny 2 is updated to Nextgen with a main feature that was (in my point of view) very necessary. The 60FPS...

How to use a PC for cough gaming Just use a wireless mouse and keyboard, that will allow you to get full PC functionality. If you do not want to play with mouse and keyboard in a game requirering aiming you should instead resort to "gyro aiming", this is less precise than mouse+keyboard but...

The Oxford-Astrazenica vaccine show promise Interestingly they when they (addidentily?) give half the dosage at the first shot it was more effective according to preliminary data. https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-centre/press-releases/2020/azd1222hlr.html...

The psychiatry industry benefit from mental illness One obvious issue with the psychiatry industry is that the more mentally ill people are the more these people will profit, thus its against their interest to actually help people and in their interests to give people permanent brain-damage...

Gamer OS One issue with using PC instead of console is that windows 10 isn't really made for the living room, it would be better if microsoft focused on that instead of their pointless consoles but they obviously prefer having control over your system allowing them to make more money out of you...
