I was wondering why my fast new computer was not fast and it did not feel new....


I had used a leftover laptop style drive for my secondary storage. Once I performed a benchmark on that drive I ordered something a lot faster.
The SSD was a monster under the benchmarks....the other drive had the same stats as my USB external drive.

Nice.

Upgrade or adding rear steer?

If you FB, do you hang out on the group Built Not Bought?

I nicked a shaft on the current one which caused a leak. The rebuild kit is $220 so I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade instead. Rear steer would be nice but that's a lot of time and money, maybe some day. I'll have to check out that group.

Once you go PCIe NVME SSD, it's really hard to go back to anything else.

When I first glanced at that I was amazed they made an 8TB SD card. Then I realized what I was looking at.

Yep, Photoshop. Shadows are all wrong.

I'm confused as to why you're referencing an SSD with a HDD pictured?

On edit: Ah, you're talking about a second drive, got it.

That PCIe NVME SSD is my current boot device. It was not until I tried to move VM work areas onto the 5T laptop drive did I figure out dang, that thing sucks...and what is broken... On files about 2 gig files it works ok...on 100 gig files - it starts off fast and drops speed after 5 mins.

I thought my motherboard or new case had bad ports for the USB 3.0 setup. Also Windows 10 has a monster of a memory leak when you copy files....the OS chewed thru about 58 gig of ram. when I did the copy over night Found a nice program that will let me clear that memory pool.



my plans are to see if I can use my ebook to allow me to see more hardware info while the car is running. Scan gauge sort of displays.

Like more than you could with say, Torque running on a tablet?
