Investigation: Is Your SSD More Reliable Than A Hard Drive? : SSD Reliability: Is Your Data Really Safe?

That's the assumption many enthusiasts and IT professionals make about SSDs. We go straight to the data centers using these devices, dig into failure rate statistics, and suggest otherwise. Back in 2008, Intel made a case to us about storage bottlenecking its Nehalem architecture. We were at IDF in San Francisco, the company was introducing its first solid-state drives, and its representatives stood on stage, describing the ways in which a conventional hard drive slowed down a Core i7 processor.

Three years later, we've seen over and over in benchmarks that SSDs are legitimate performance-adders, changing the computing experience fairly dramatically. IMFT: NAND Transition With that said, performance isn’t everything. This topic is even more relevant now, in the wake of a swift shift from 3x nm NAND to flash memory manufactured at 25 nm. You shouldn’t have to worry about the number of P/E cycles that your SSD can sustain. Dev-Team Blog.

Time Machine for every Unix out there - IMHO

Using rsync it’s very easy to mimic Mac OS X new feature called Time Machine. In this article I’ll show how to do it, but there is still a nice GUI missing – for those who like it shiny. What Time Machine does Time Machine makes a snapshot of your files every hour. The files are usually stored on a external hard drive connected to your Mac via USB or Firewire. So if you lose a file, or did a devastating change to one of your files, simply go back in time until you find your file or a version that’s not corrupted. Incrementally backing up all files every hour so that you can access them in reversed chronological order isn’t that hard with standard Unix utilities like rsync. Making full backups in no time every hour You can use this method to make a backup every hour or every ten minutes if you like. So, here the command to make the backup: Lets go through the parameters step by step.

How to make a back up copy of system. Revealed: Retail Stores’ Handheld POS Device. While Apple Inc. was making news last November with the roll-out of a high-tech iPod touch point-of-sale (POS) system at its 277 retail stores, the company that actually designed and built the sleek device was content to lay low and not take any of the credit.

Revealed: Retail Stores’ Handheld POS Device

Now their secret is out: It was southern California-based Infinite Peripherals (IPC) that developed that techno-shell that allows an iPod touch to process purchases so elegantly at Apple’s stores. The Linēa-pro allows store employees to quickly scan barcodes, read credit card magnetic stripes and accept customer signatures. An interview with a company executive and a hands-on test of the device reveals how the device was developed and is now being marketed. View photos of the Linēa-pro and watch my hands-on video review of the device. Watch a short video snippet of the device in action at an Apple store. Exclusive look at Apple's new iPod touch-based EasyPay checkout. Breaking By Gary Allen, ifoAppleStore, Special to AppleInsider (ifoAppleStore) Within two weeks, Apple stores will begin retiring their current Windows CE-based portable computers and start using a custom-designed and crafted iPod touch to check out customers.

Exclusive look at Apple's new iPod touch-based EasyPay checkout

AppleInsider has a first look at the new system. Those who have seen the system for processing credit card, debit card and cash purchases, dubbed "EasyPay touch," said it combines iPod touch features with a magnetic stripe reader, advanced barcode scanner and Apple-written software to speed plastic and cash transactions. Perhaps more significantly, the change to an iPod touch and Apple software will bring the entire point-of-sale (POS) system under Apple's control. In addition, the system will have the added benefit of advertising the usefulness of the iPod touch to customers who see it being used right in front of them. It is unknown which manufacturer partnered with Apple to create the new device. LightSpeed Retail Point of Sale (POS) - Home. IPCPrint.com
