Comment on 8-port 2.5GbE Intel Core Virtualization and Firewall Appliance Mini-Review by Eric Olson

Recently a similar system that crashed with GeekBench 6 was reviewed. Since the crashes occur ar “different parts of the multi-threaded test” rather than always in the same place this is likely a hardware malfunction. Also, the hardware malfunction seems to result from the design as both the earlier and present units experienced the same instability.

My conclusion would be GeekBench 6 is more stressful than stress-ng and that the hardware is flawed.

Is it possible to underclock the i7 processor or memory to the point GeekBench 6 works?

Comment on Fanxiang S660 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD Review by Zin

My emulators are currently on an old mechanical drive and I’ve recently been getting HD and 4K texture packs for my old PS2 and GameCube games and the mechanical drive just isn’t great for loading these new texture packs so I figured I’d grab a regular 2.5″ SSD. I was thinking about going with a 4TB just for the extra space to also install my PC games to. While searching I find that 4TB SATA SSDs are going for roughly the same price as this NVMe drive.

Seeing as how read speeds are more important for my use case I feel like this S660 from fanxiang, not to mention that the when the write speeds tank its pretty much at the levels of a SATA SSD anyway.
