Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Yay for DST. Get paid for 8 hours of work in 7 hours.

I love my SSD in both my laptop and my desktop. From a cold boot to fully useable both my laptop and desktop are ready in around 15-20 seconds.

And LoL loads so damn fast now since I installed it on my SSD. Only problems there are having to wait for everyone else 80%ish of the time. There is always those 1 or 2 people that are playing on the toaster/calculator.

As far as reliability, from what I've read Intel SSDs are the most reliable but not quite as fast as some of the others. Though there isn't a lot of difference in read/write speeds between them. Unless you get a borked one or aren't using SATA3 in AHCI mode.

Ermagerd, I actually did stuff in game today. Nice to be back with my old gang.

AHCI mode actually has mixed results in regards to speed tests.

I used to have an old p4 system on IDE boot in 9 seconds...

Senzu Bean!!!

My SSD was showing terrible speeds and all around sluggish in IDE mode. Then I got the 400+ read/write once I switched to AHCI. A lot of them usually have better/their advertised speeds under either AHCI or RAID/AHCI mode.

Maybe older ones do okay under IDE. All I know is under both of mine, they had increased performance once it was switched.

Now if you do a transfer from HDD>SSD instead of a fresh install, you may not notice any difference. A lot of people have had issues with their SSDs when they did a transfer. Which they later say are all fixed once they did a fresh install.

Have all crafting and gathering classes 50 in XIV now... I was totally hard core about leveling fishing

I want to finish mining, it was fun.



also I had another dream that you showed up in Ina...

Was it a dirty one again?

actually it was weird... I decided to get a place of my own... and we ended up being neigbors.

And how did that work out?

Seemed fine actually

Well that's boring...

Then came the day you attempted to seduce him with chocolate.

It's inevitable.


I'm pretty sure eventually something kinky might have happened but I woke up cause I had to pee.

Y'know Ina, you look a lot like a guy that I work with at Central. Like... it's eerie.

edit: Except sans the long hair.

Interesting, honestly I think what I read was doing the tests on regular drives, not ssd, as the article was a bit dated.

I know we put a lot of laptops with ssd's in ide mode and imaged them that way. Didn't really see a performance hit, still managed to encrypt them in record times.

That being said, if the people who set up SCCM managed to bother to load the ahci drivers for the limited set up of models we have into SCCM and the PE environment, we wouldn't have had to do that, or to change it back when we finally went to Windows 7. (Yes I know we don't have to change it back, but for the most part I got people to, which is amazing on 2k+ machines)...

It does bring extra features, most notably the trim features.

I'm thinking about switching my system into another case, it might prevent me from trying to buy new hardware. I have system builder fever!!!

So I have a doppelganger?

Confirmed on page 14391, Magnuss and Ina are state alchemists.

You do. Just don't come out here because one of you is sure to kill the other.

Could make porn instead... supposedly there is good money in the lookalike stuff.

They just let any riffraff become State Alchemists these days..

I'll ask him if he'd be down for that. And of course, I'll get a finder's fee.

If I knew what you were talking about, I'd feel insulted right now.

I'm insulted that you aren't insulted because you don't know what we're talking about.......yeah.

seconded

Things that make me happy:

Showing up to work and my partner having a trainee. I get to sit and do a whole lot of nothing all day and get paid for it.
