Tests zufolge drosseln die neuesten #CoreUltra-#CPUs von #Intel schnelle #SSDs deutlich. So sind Geschwindigkeitseinbußen von bis zu 16 Prozent zu beobachten. Das Problem liegt in der #Prozessor-#Architektur. https://winfuture.de/news,150878.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Mit der Trennung von #SanDisk zieht sich #WesternDigital komplett aus dem Geschäft mit #SSDs zurück. Das bedeutet auch das Ende der Marke #WDBlack.

#Samsung Launches #9100PRO #SSDs with Stunning Performance

Apparently #consumergrade #SSDs do not actually do anything to make their volatile write-cache safe.
What kind of asshole decided this was a good idea? Fucking infrastructural privilege assumptions.
As it turns out, yes, a *lot* of consumergrade SSDs will lose flushed data on a power outage.
So that means unless one has the privilege to be able to afford a UPS or enterprise SSDs, one otherwise has to disable the cache (promptly getting rid of most of the performance).
Hardware designers, much like software designers, should be required to live in underprivileged shitholes before releasing anything intended for wide public use.

This is why I hate #SSDs without any warning the selftest suddenly fails to read beyond the first 100 megs and the entire drive is unusable, no low health warning no reallocated sectors just sudden death.
The change of this failure condition with spinning rust is just much lower.
Part 1/4
The continuing efforts with the #ThinkPad #W510:
A nice surprise is this has four (4) #DIMM slots, so I was able to upgrade the memory to 32GB (and tested out fine with #MEMTest86+ ver 7)!
Unfortunately, getting an #OS installed has been problematic. As I mentioned previously, to use this as my #workbench #laptop for testing, #imaging, and #wiping #HardDrives and #SSDs (leveraging that #eSATA port) all the manufacturer and optimal #opensource tools are on #Windows.
I started with the #Win11 LTSP: Booted up fine, initial install was fine – and the initial boot want to a black screen with a blinking cursor.
Ok, let me try #Win10 64-bit LTSP with the same results: Booted up fine, initial install was fine – and the initial boot want to a black screen with a blinking cursor.

The next #thinkpad on my #workbench is a #W510 – it has an #eSATA port as well as multiple #USB3 ports, #expresscard, #displayport, #smartcard, memory card reader, #DVD/#CDRW, with a max 16GM of #DDR3 #RAM so it can run #Win11 (if you are careful) or #linux with ease. This will be a good replacement for my workbench laptop for testing and #wiping #HardDrives and #SSDs
But: the processor is only an i7-Q720 1.6 Ghz
This will be a dog with #Windoz
So I am researching which & where to get a #CPU upgrade.
According to #thinkwiki https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W510 Some models came with an Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor i7-920XM (2.0GHz 1333MHz 8MB L3).
But wowzas the couple I found were expensive as all hell.
Any thoughts on
a) where to find one of these #CPUs at a reasonable cost; possibly locally in the SF bay area?
b) Is/are there other #CPUs that would work in the W510 motherboard that would provide more bang for the buck?
TIA!
