In the third week of ‘Leo Says' – he discusses Nvidia making so much money they are probably struggling to count it, Apple Face ID hacked almost before it was released, Threadripper NVMe Raid and the potential nightmares of Amazon Key. And the amazing looking Asus ROG Poseidon GTX 1080 ti which is in our labs right now for a full review under water – delivered with his trademark deadpan grumpy old man style.
Leo also discusses Samsung getting awards for GDDR6 and NGSFF form factor SSD and the fact he never knew about Minix OS until recently. He asks you would you trust any data to RAID 0? Really?
00:15 Introduction
00:30 Asus ROG Poseidon Platinum GTX 1080 Ti – lovely jubbly
01:50 Amazon key – WTF, no seriously WTF
04:40 Apple Face ID Hacked – that didn’t take long
06:40 Nvidia making an absolute fortune
09:00 AMD make a bit of money too.
09:39 Samsung gets CES awards for GDDR6 and NGSFF form factor SSD
14:24 AMD Threadripper NVMe RAID – yes please?
16:06 Leo asks: Would you rely on RAID 0?
16:53 Intel Management Engine in their Platform Controller Hubs run on Minix and has, apparently, been hacked
KitGuru says: Be sure to let us know your thoughts and if you agree (or disagree) with LEO. Love him, or hate him- he says it, cause he means it.
RAID 0’d SSD’s on multiple laptops. Previous machine had 3 x 128GB SATA SSD’s as boot drive with no issues. Present machine has 2 x 500GB Samsung EVO 960’s in RAID 0 with no issues. CPU is I7-6820HK and there is a throughput limit of ~3,500MB/s so RAIDing on this chipset only sees a benefit in write speeds.
It is irrelevant if you should trust Raid 0 with your data, why? Because regardless of using raid or not you should always have a full backup on a physically separate device.
Just out of curiosity – how would an insurer treat a claim for theft of contents (or building damage) if the event happened while an Amazon Key was enabled?
Exactly Leo. And we are absolutely mad to trust our data to RAM.
What fools we all are?
Ah yes, the elephant in the room. Intel’s native nvme ports are illusory re raid.
This. Separate storage device and encrypted then cloud stored.
I heard it was a DMI(?) limitation?
I personally use RAID 0 on an AMD Threadripper with 3x Samsung PRO 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD’s as my boot (or C:) drive. It’s a new build, and I’ve not had any problems.
Wow, that must hump.
You dont even need an adapter on many TR moboS. They have 3x native ports.
The less well heeled could make an amazing 750GB array using 3x 256GB Evo nvme ssdS – ~$140usd ea.
Storage with the bandwidth of an 8 lane gpu or ddr3 1800 clock ram.
with a vega gpu, or indeed windows, you can extend memory using this fast storage.
