Upgrade adventure time
-
My 4TB 990 Pro NVMe drive just shipped. I should get it in a few days. I'm excited because it replaces my 2TB 990 Pro and offers - in addition to more space - even better performance for small file access (important to me) due to additional cache. But then I have to figure out how to get this GPU out of my PC. The previous GPU took me an hour to remove due to the release for it being underneath the card and surrounded by heatsinks. I had to use two tools and a lot of fiddling so as not to damage anything in the process. This GPU is wider by half again. This is my concerned face. :~ If I can't get it into my desktop, then my sister is getting a 13th gen intel with a 4080 in it sooner rather than later, and I'm out some serious money on a new PC, and my laptop will have 6TB total across two 990 Pros.

Upgrading is fun and exciting when everything goes right, but when it goes wrong it's a PITA. Had an upgrade once; bas MOBO and 1 out of 4 sticks of memory was bad. It took a while to figure out which stick, it was an intermittent problem would pass stress test but intermittently crash.

What kind of processing do you do that makes small file access important?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Recompiling zephyr or esp-idf. C++ compiler likes to deal with lots of source files, so small file access is good when compiling large codebases.

What's your opinion of the Resilient Filesystem? Is it anything that a power user might want to consider?

I have no idea what it is.

That most certainly is a different discussion than the present one. If you want people's opinions, make it a new thread. My guess is that most people (like myself) have no experience with it, and can only judge it from what other people has written about it. As long as the API is the same, Windows developers are one the average far less concerned about the different underlaying file systems, whether FAT32, NTFS, ReFS or some *nix style FS, than the typical *nix developer is. Wikipedia has an article about ReFS (Wikipedia: ReFS[^]) that provides some introductory information.

It doesn't provide what the Codewitch thinks, though, does it? I think my question was totally legitimate, given that CW was referencing file access performance.

Too many QA issues with Samsung 9xx drives in recent times, luckily I heard of them a few hours before committing to my 2.5k € order and switched to Crucial P5 + Crucial P3.

That's probably due to the firmware bug on the early 2TB models. That has been sorted out. I've never had problems with mine, and I'm running two of them currently, but I patched the firmware before formatting.
