You understand that your point is flawed? Compromise isn't always necessary! The OP was looking for innovation in this space, similar to say what Tesla did for autos.
This is good info to know, helps me as a sysadmin to be confident in making decisions for my customers and their data. I regularly use a tool called Crystaldiskinfo to check the SMART stats of drives. Will pay more attention to the raw values in the future.
I'm partial to the Hikvision 4MP IP cameras and Blue Iris dvr software. What is great about Blue Iris is you can mix and match IP camera from different OEMs and it doesn't require any plug-ins to view live streams or recorded footage from any web browser. The only issue I've been running into is having too many 2k res cameras at 20+ FPS eats up a lot of CPU on DVR PC. Don't know if the Unifi DVR software is better optimized or if it only works with Unifi gear.
The Windows build doesn't appear to work at all. In addition to getting file path too long issues, once I've accommodated the app by extracting on the root of my drive it never loads past a white screen.
Also from Windows 8 and up the built in task manager has per process network usage along with disk usage. Makes it real easy to find bottlenecks or resource hogs.
Preordered the Doorbot, the first gen Ring doorbell, it was very buggy and unreliable, I would get maybe 1 of 10 rings on my phone.
The second gen unit has been very reliable, and the video quality is night and day better than first gen. Although there can be a little lag of about 10 seconds or so from when the doorbell is rang till it rings on my phone.
I only have a few in production. I'm using a 512GB 950 on my gaming PC (has plenty of cooling, so can't comment on the heat, the Intel 750s have a heatsink though...) , it's replacing an 850, in practice it's hard to notice the difference between them. In a virtual environment when you have multiple VMs running on the same SSD, it has noticeable gains, higher IOPS and transfer speed make a big difference.
Most things I encounter in personal use are either CPU or GPU bound. There is nothing worse than having an application crawl to a halt when it is not even using a fraction of your system resources. Single threaded and 32 bit only applications are the bane of my existence.
This article is light on details, and looking at the source it would be great to know brands and model numbers.
I use SSDs in all my builds, servers and workstations. My most used are Samsung 850 EVOs and PROs, follow by the Intel 750 and Samsung 950 PRO.
Out of bout 80 or so that I've put into production over the past few years I've had about 3 850 EVOs go bad on me, just completely lock up the machine they are connected to, can't even run diag. I make sure to use the PRO series in critical environments, and EVO for budget.
I really love these little things. I use these as dumb terminals to RDP into virtual machines. It makes adding and replacing workstations very cheap and quick. Also more secure, where you can keep file sharing locked down to a internal private virtual network not exposing much of anything to the physical network. One thing I would love is an Ethernet port, but I know that it too much to ask.
