As the OP, still wondering. Can you trust the star ratings on The Egg? I know that no one can believe product reviews on the Big A from Seattle. Too many reports about fake reviews there.
I'm wondering if a 4 TB drive will work in my Lenovo T14s laptop. I seem to recall that the Intel SoC Chipset for that machine was limited to 2 TB. Is that a built-in limitation, or simply the max NMVe drive size that was available for testing when the spec was developed?
My Lenovo laptop has...
Yeah. Even though me, as the OP, shows noobie ignorance by starting this thread, I'm glad I did. Now I have to review cjcox's spreadsheet and have a conversation with myself about drive quality vs. not spending too much money, I have to say that if I ignore all the good info in your post...

Wowzers. That spreadsheet was quite a lot of work. You are truly one of the good guiys here on [H]
Can [H] make a stickie of your posting, so all the guys here can be aware of that XLS.
If I select only 4-star and better for PCIE-4 4TB NVMe SSDs on Newegg, there is a big difference in price between various brands, from $223 to $799.

Naw. He deserves a court-ordered visit and a gift card at the Concrete Overshoes store. In the past, that store used to have a franchise operation going all over Brooklyn.
Yeah. Like they "save" a few bucks but lose a customer for life. Plus, all the guys here who won't buy Corsair any longer. Sad. Totally self-inflicted wound.
Huh? That's BS. Makes a joke of the warranty. Maybe this friend should contact the Federal Trade Commission.
Corsair used to be one of my GO TO brands. Loved my 800D case, kept it for years and years, and wish I still had it. But now with the cost-cuttiing and this incident, it's now on my...
Years ago, never mind exactly how many, I was the product manager for for a large US company where we OEMed Check Point Firewall-1. Back then VPN was an extra-cost item,and it was a hot seller. But back then it was all user to corporate server.
I was pretty technical for a product manager, so...
I looked up these companies. Winbond does not even list DDR5. Nanya does list DDR5, but it's hard to see if they have/had any product here.
Powerchip doesn't list any products. Here is what they say about themselves: PSMC owns two 8-inch and three 12-inch wafer fabs with 8,000 employees...
^^ So many other interfaces are industry-standardized. I just don't get it, unless the owners of EVGA plan to fold up their tents in the middle of the night and head out to parts unknown.
I got a 3060 Ti from them at MSRP when they had that program. I thought that was very customer-friendly...
Wonder if someone could set up a business modding these boards? Buy up some used boards on FleaBay and then sell them after modding. Or offer a service for guys to send in their boards for modding.
So who are some of the other foundries that can produce DDR5? Are they all shut down now?
Has foundry shutdown been a thing?
As I asked above. Any idea of just how much capacity is unused now?
Does this amount to collusion to fix prices? Is this something the US DOJ should look into?
VPN or not, I would not go to such a website. Or if somehow a link sent me to such a website, I would immediately leave it.
Norton VPN is included in the overall price for the software. But my takeaway here is to ignore pop-up windows that urge me to turn on the VPN. With the VPN turned on...
My Norton everything-security application packages includes auto-VPN, so I turned it on recently. But I have to wonder. Back in the 90s and '00s, VPNs for corporate networks very popular, because they provided end-to-end privacy between a user's system and a corporate server. But what is the...
Understood. I've learned a lot recently about USB PD, so I now understand the differences.
I have come to the same conclusion.
Agreed. But I'm glad I started this thread. The responses were a great example of why [H] is one of my go-to forums. Lots of guys here who are both smart and very...
As the OP, I was hoping to find a charge that would supply PD to more than one connection, e.g. a laptop and a Nikon MILC camera body. Years ago, I got a USB A hub to charge multiple devices. That works fine for my phone, power bank, etc.
Does this exist? Anyone have one of these? Figure I could use my laptop 65W charger to charge 3-4 devices. Or so I hope.
I wish that USB C came out years earlier, after all the different output connectors for USB 3
That may be true enough. But maybe all the miners have bought into this story. If you are right, then there will be a lot of used 7950x CPUs on the market soon enough.
Bigger picture, crypto is suddenly hot again. Until it's not. I am not going to risk a year's worth of mortgage payments...
Intramural squabbles are nothing new to UNIX. Remember the days of Solaris vs. AIX vs HP-UX?
Too much ego among the players to ever get a "consensus" on that unified desktop.
Say what you will about Windows, it is a real benefit to users to have a single platform for like gazillions of...
I hope this is a good fortum for this queston. I'm still amazed, after reading this forum for years now, that people reply to a thread with a link to some product on Amazon that I never imagined existed. Here is good example...
Simple. Those people (e.g. your MIL.) are the mass of the market. The Lenovo guy has to stay on top of the market so that his company continues to be successful. That 4% (if is it that much) is almost noise n the market data. The future success of Lenovo and its Windows system competitors...
But so what. As Macbeth says in Act 5, Scene 5, in a famous soliloquy that starts with ,"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day," and ends with "Signifying nothing." And so it is with Linux. Even putting aside issues of flaws in data sampling and data...
