To be fair, enterprise SSDs (particularly U.2, U.3 and E.1L) have had their own availability issues for a fair bit now, particularly the latest NVMe PCIe Gen 4 devices. However, the problem there isn't cryptocurrency, but hyperscalers

I'm also staring at a Mid-2011 Sandy Bridge quad-core iMac that's been on my desk since May 2011. It'll be replaced come August-ish with a 32-core Zen 3 Threadripper (with 256GB of ECC). Though in a few years I'll likel

This is my wait and see. The fact that the 1TB and 2TB storage versions of the M1 iPad Pro have 16GB of memory is something. Plus Thunderbolt 4. It's an M1 iMac you can carry around. If there isn't capability to easily use that

I think I'd better describe it as, "It used to be a one-time charge for a license, but now you need to have a subscription." You can still get stand-alone licenses, but they do suppress that. Part of that I believe is not ru

SMR is very dependent on capacity and SKUs. The vast majority of SMR hard disks are 6TB capacities and below, and I'm only aware on one 8TB Seagate SKU that is SMR. Though I'm aware HGST shipped a 20TB SMR drive late in 2020. NAS

I just started doing a large overhaul (first in 10 years), and moving to 10GbE was a pretty big deal. When your storage is fast, waiting for the network is the real bottleneck. Uploading things on a WAN link (I have 1Gbps down, but only 4

The Ice Lake-SP replacement to the Xeon W-3245 should hopefully be that, if you're looking for a workstation. 16 cores with hopefully a base clock around 3.4-3.5GHz with a single core turbo around 5.0GHz is what I'd expect. Alon
