Editor:- April 2, 2014 - Are you ready to rethink what you think about enterprise RAM? The revolution in in use-case-aware intelligent flash could crossover to DRAM. These ideas are brought together in the new home page blog on StorageSearch.com ...read the article A3CUBE unveils PCIe memory fabric for 10,000 node-class PCIe SSD architectures Editor:- February 25, 2014 - PCIe SSDs can now access a true PCIe connected shared memory fabric designed by A3CUBE - which exited stealth today with the launch of their remote shared broadcast memory network - RONNIEE Express - which provides 700nS (nanoseconds) raw latency (4 byte message) and which enables message throughput - via standard PCIe - which is 8x better than InfiniBand.
Editor's comments:- I spoke to the company's luminaries recently - who say they intend to make this an affordable mainstream solution. how do you make this expensive resource available to more servers? Common File Extensions. Internal Hard Drive vs External Hard Drive Life Span. Second Internal vs External Hard Drive - Photo.net Digital Darkroom Forum. Steve C , May 31, 2009; 09:35 p.m. I'd like to put all my photos (now on CDs and DVDs) onto a single hard drive for use with Photoshop. I was looking at external drives, but I have room for another internal drive on my Dell (XP), and Dell sells the same brand and size (Seagate 1TB) at the same price as the external. What are the advantages and disadvantages of an internal drive besides the lack of portability and off-site storage?
Steve C , May 31, 2009; 09:44 p.m. P.S. I should've posted this thread under Storage. Also, I found some helpful information in this thread from March (had it open in another tab before posting, but forgot it when I got sidetracked to another site). From what I read there, I'd get more speed from the internal SATA, but shouldn't rely on it for an archival back-up (which I already have on DVD). ian murren , May 31, 2009; 09:51 p.m. Mendel Leisk , May 31, 2009; 10:16 p.m. Brad Smith , May 31, 2009; 10:54 p.m. Maximum number of folders in one parent folder. Going Google-Free: The Best Alternatives to Google Services on the Web. Breaking the Hype of High Frequency RAM - Puget Custom Computers. In order to test whether a higher frequency at the cost of increased timings is worth it, we ran a series of benchmarks using the RAM listed below.
For each frequency level, we used RAM with timings that are the most common at that frequency. We have found in the past that the performance differences between brands (running at the same settings of course) are negligible, but we wanted to remove as many variables as possilble. We used Patriot RAM for our testing because they had three of the four most common RAM frequency/timing ratios. Patriot does not make a 1333MHz low latency kit with CL7 timings, however, so we tweaked the timings and frequency of the PC3-12800 model to run at those specifications. This will have the exact same performance as RAM that is designed to run at those settings, but may be slightly less stable.
Luckily, our RAM performed just fine at those settings through all of our testing so stability was not an issue. Everything You Need to Know About 3TB Hard Drives. We expect hard-drive capacity to grow over time. Now that hard drives have jumped from 2TB to 3TB, however, upgraders face some challenges: These new hard drives may have issues in some drive enclosures and in older PCs, which aren't prepared to address the entire capacity of a 3TB model. Even if you can work such storage into your system, it may not be in a single 3TB volume, but in a 2.2TB volume and a 800GB volume instead.
The Problem: Legacy Addressing The problem with deploying 3TB drives relates to older PCs (those more than a few months old, in most cases), and stems from the formula 2^32*512=2,199,023,255,552, or 2.2TB--a hard-drive addressing scheme found in legacy BIOSs and operating systems. In that formula, 2 indicates binary, 32 is the number of bits allowed in a legacy disk address, and 512 is the number of bytes in a legacy hard-drive data block. You can use the full capacity of a 3TB drive via USB--with a drive enclosure that supports it. Installing a 3TB Drive. Is there a life expectancy on external hard drives? - CNET Storage Forums.
From bits to yottabytes. How much data is that? Being the storage editor, I'm often asked by colleagues what comes after what when it comes to data storage measurements. So for the record I thought I'd just put it out there. In doing so, it struck me that there was a time -- only a few years ago -- when a petabyte (1 million gigabytes) seemed an impossibly enormous amount of data that no one would ever need to store. I mean, the Library of Congress with 130 million items on about 530 miles of bookshelves, including 29 million book, 2.7 million recordings, 12 million photographs, 4.8 million maps, and 58 million manuscripts, can be stored on 10 terabytes (10,000 gigabytes). Now, of course, tape libraries in enterprises regularly store multiple petabytes of data and some disk-based storage sub-systems are also surpassing the petabyte mark in capacity. And so storage marches on, in most cases surpassing Moore's Law.
Anyhow, for those of you who care, here it is for the record: 1 Bit = one binary digit (represented by a 0 or a 1). Life of a Computer Scientist: The real way to disable Adobe Updater from your Mac OS X. Adobe update manager is really annoying, but most instructions on the web to disable it merely tells Adobe Updater not to report updates; the updater still runs silently. The fact that I'm dedicating system resource every now and then so the Adobe Updater can phone home but not tell me to update is not good enough for me. I want Adobe Updater to stop completely.
To stop Adobe Updater completely, one must understand how it gets run in the first place. The updater is launched by a Mac OS X system service called launchd. To launchd, Adobe Updater is a periodic job. The job file is stored under your ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder. The actual file name is suffixed with a number of random characters, but it starts with "com.adobe.ARM" as the prefix. Cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents launchctl remove `basename com.adobe.ARM.* .plist` rm com.adobe.ARM While you are at it, there may be other launchd jobs in ~/Library/LaunchAgents left over from stale applications you might have tried before.
Hack Attack: Mouse-less Firefox. Portable v Desktop Hard Drive - Power, Size, & Temperature Concerns. Alternatives: SSDs, Internals & CDs/DVDs Your options aren't just limited to external spinning disk drives, and these other varieties have their own advantages as well. SSDs or solid state drives are a popular choice for portable storage, for instance. Because there are no moving parts on them, they require no external power, no fan to keep them from overheating, are more rugged and are thus less likely to break... The list goes on. Of course, you could just upgrade your internal hard drive for something bigger, if more space is all you need. CDs and DVDs are another, often overlooked piece of technology for memory storage.
