Installing ZorinOS and upgrading my old laptop.

The biggest performance upgrade IMO is replacing the HDD with a SSD. Watch out for cheap SSDs though, they likely will not have a DRAM cache, the unbranded or obscure branded ones particulary. Personally I'd always go for a known performance brand with a DRAM cache, e.g. Samsung 870 EVO or WD Blue S

Budget SSD választás home-made NAS-hoz?

Saját tapasztalat: 2,5 éve vettem 2 db 1TB-s WD Blue SA510-et. Akciós volt. Nem, nem az emagon, hanem az Aqua-ban :) Az egyik 1 év múlva bedöglött, gariban kicserélték. Azóta megy napi szinten. A másikkal semmi gond nem volt. Mennek rendesen, a HD Sentinel szerint mind a kettő 100% állapotú.1 dolog

So long Crucial... thanks for the fishes

Depends on the workload; we don't have a lot of workloads left that call for 2.5" SATA, but (as a business) we'll pay extra now for Kingston DC600 and Solidigm (Intel) D3-series. For actual consumer, WD Blue SA510 is generally okay unless we stumble on an infrequent sale with the WD RED SA500.

[SSD] Western Digital Blue SA510 SATA SSD 2TB ($229) [Walmart.ca]

I remember way back jumping on the older 1 TB WD Blue SATA drive when I started seeing these SA510s coming out because the SA510s don't have DRAM and use some sort of pseudo-SLC cache instead.

[SSD] Western Digital Blue SA510 SATA SSD 2TB ($229) [Walmart.ca]

Can confirm, I'm pretty on top of things with firmware updates and such and I think my 1 TB SA510 is dying/the source of my BSODs. Luckily I have time until next summer to RMA but was shocked considering I've had other WD Blue SSDs and they were quite reliable. Beware if you get this and make sure t

Modern SanDisk Ultra 3D SSDs - is it with DRAM?

I guess you mean the WD Blue, not the SanDisk Ultra. And "cheap" in the current sense, that is, just a bit more than twice what it cost a year ago. WD SA510 1TB (WDS100T3B0A) - $180:https://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-SA510-Internal-Solid/dp/B09ZYQ84CM

Az AI miatt a VGA piac ismét halott/elérhetetlen lesz a halandóknak?

jaja. 3 éve a 2,5"-os 1 terrás WD Blue SA510 25 ezer volt, most ugyanez 60-70 ezer közt. Röhejes.
