Honestly though, set up a VPN, fresh youtube account and a clean browser and you'll find yourself stuck into the wormhole within a few clicks. It's utterly disgusting and more than just some hidden agenda

It's utterly disgusting and more than just some hidden agenda

deep state desires chaos (so that they may rearrange things their way, creating a perverse 'order out of chaos') - spreading and supporting deviant sexual behavior and encouraging all kinds of perversions is on their agenda - during the last few hundred years they managed to infiltrate large sections of society, especially positions of power and are using the mainstream media, entertainment industry, national and supranational governments, NGO's, large or multinational companies (the owner of yootube fits in here), the financial system, marketing, education and science to further their goals until they reach global domination and governance

for example, practically, this means that if you're consuming pr0n, and we know many filesharers are doing that, then you've been caught in their web, unknowingly becoming their follower and supporting at least that part of their agenda

more importantly, any kind of deviant sexual behavior is adverse to spiritual advancement and should therefore be avoided

Are these numbers ok for my HDDs? First one is my SSD, second one is external HDD (USB 3) WD, and last one also external HDD (USB 3) Seagate. Should exHDDs be faster, since they're on USB 3, or is this speed ok?

[Sazzy]

Seems fine to me. Depending on the HDD, you'll most likely not hit over 100MB/s anyway if you hook them up to SATA directly, so USB3 won't actually change that much. USB3 won't bottleneck your disks as it will bottleneck itself way before that.

( PS: Your external disks are even faster than my internal ones..! But they're storage disks so that's expected to be slow-ish. )

The benchmarks seem fine. Here is my Seagate external disk for comparison purposes.



Note that USB 3.0 doesn't make things faster, it just raises the additional speed limit imposed by the USB interface from 2.0 levels (~25 MB/s effective throughput) to the point it's irrelevant for a mechanical disk.

So is it worth using "better performance" and "enable caching" for USB keys for faster files transfer?

Short answer: not worth the risk.

[yoco]

Can you destroy your USB key with it?

I don't think so, it's has more to do with assuring the files integrity.

Disk caching stores new data to memory and writes it to disk laster instead of immediately. This makes write operations seem much faster, but it's a fake speedup because nothing is actually written right away. In the event of a power failure, system crash or simply you unplugging the USB media without using the safe removal feature, the data you believed was saved may be lost. (This write cache can be flushed manually by using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...downloads/sync.)

The only advantage of this mechanic is that multiple writes in a row to the same logical sectors can be combined before being commited to the physical medium, thus slightly extending the life of hard disk heads and Flash-based storage, but it's (still) not worth the risk.

And speaking of fake things, look at this pass at 1:27! Even Michael Jackson Jordan wasn't that good

Hahahahaha, Menem sure was/is a handful for you argentinians.

I like reddit a lot, but I often get errors that it won't load or whatev. Nothing specific, usually it's an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. Opening it in a clean browser doesn't really change anything and when i go to fast.com my speed is 90+ so I feel like my modem and router are fine. Most sites don't give me issues either, mostly reddit. It's not just my pc but also my phone, so that's definitely not it.

Seeing it's apparently in the top 20 most popular sites, I have a hard time believing that their servers are this shitty. Anyone else have these issues or is it just me? I feel like when I try it when I'm at work on their line, it doesn't seem to give me any issues though. It's so weird.

Never had this on Reddit, ever. I would start by disabling any and all firewall and anti-DoS features in your router (ALG is okay). You'd think they shouldn't interfere if you're the one initiating the connection, but it happens.
