Tech Chat / NVMe and fresh Windows

Last post by Mr. Analog - February 06, 2024, 07:00:24 PM

NVMe works great (thanks Mel)
Windows install had ... promblems, specifically choking on windows updates. I had to resize my recovery partition to get one update to finally work.

Now I'm installing stuff, and man, this drive is FAST!! Can't wait to try out some games with it

With modern tools and virtualization there is a lot of potential to build a ground up ULTRA optimized OS much faster than was previously possible.

Could be some interesting projects that appear in the future especially with stuff developed in RUST / with safety, stability and security built into every level.

Scary how good some assembly programmers are. Unbelievable how many features they managed to include in this miniscule OS' visual desktop UI!

Here's hoping the all-star break is a positive recharge... and not a streak killer.

They beat Vegas in November, gotta believe they will do it again for Win #17! 🙏

Resurrecting this thread as I actually purchased something after a lot of research, price watching and budget waiting.

Managed to score an R86S-U2 for $359.86 CAD

- 3x 2.5Gbit rj45 ports
- 2x 10Gbit SFP+ ports
- Ultra small form factor
- N5105 CPU
- 16 GB on board RAM (non upgradable)
- 128 GB on board eMMC embedded storage.

Running OPNSense.

Step 1, in my 3 part network upgrade plan of getting my home network up to 2.5Gbit.
