@johnrheritage@coolingreviews Yup. @pcper storage testbed was an i7-920 for several years. Was also on an X99 / 5820K for an even longer period. Switching CPUs meant retesting everything, so choices needed to be future proof, and ‘everything’ was a bit much near the end there :)
@JoshDWalrath@brettglass The diesel ends up being run more often for quals and drills than anything else, and on SSBN’s it’s tricky squeezing in all of the necessary evolutions within the windows where making noise / being shallow is ok. So it’s run mostly to ensure readiness.
@brettglass@JoshDWalrath Also, your land based diesels are built on land based assumptions. Nuclear subs can have operational needs to run silent for months at a time, and their diesels are configured accordingly.
@brettglass@JoshDWalrath I served on two. They don’t run them just to power loads as they are only run in emergencies or for maintenance. Many subs paint their diesel red to match other damage control gear. DC gear is never used for mundane tasks.
@brettglass@JoshDWalrath The ‘maintenance’ is just to ensure operation and is only typically a monthly. It is not operated to ‘power nonessential equipment’. The monthly requirement is typically pushed during patrol, where you can go months without operation. It’s not ever run ‘for the fun of it’.
@JoshDWalrath@brettglass Brett has it backwards. Nuclear subs treat the diesel as emergency equipment to be used only when the reactor is offline and shore power is not available. That said, it’s unwise to remain at sea with insufficient diesel to return to port in an emergency. Doubtful they ran so low.
@baishen@Level1Techs@Phison_USA M.2 physical/electrical spec is fairly robust and reasonably futureproof. It's also used in servers. Much less reason to go the other way, but there are 2.5" U.2 NVMe cages available in desktop 5.25" form.
@alextyson_@Level1Techs@Phison_USA I'm no longer with Solidigm, but they don't currently offer 4-8TB client SSDs regardless. For large editing arrays, I'd recommend @Phison_USA equipped @Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus - one of the few SSDs available in 8TB.
