Buying an SSD enclosure with eSATA connectivity?
Peresvet and 4 others reacted to goretsky for a topic
Hello, eSATA (external SATA) is just SATA with a different connector (in most cases, I-shaped keying instead of L-shaped keying). There's no difference in protocol. Like conventional SATA interfaces, eSATA does not provide power, meaning an external drive needs to get power from another source. A variant of eSATA called eSATAp (eSATA Powered) provides an interface with eSATA pins on one side, and USB on the other (think of this like an a USB-C interface which has pins on both sides, or for a legacy interface, the 36-pin Centronics parallel cable interface). In that configuration, the USB side usually provides power for an external 2.5" eSATAp enclosure, just like a external 2.5" USB enclosures draw their power from the USB bus. Most, but not all, eSATA (and eSATAp) connections use SATA-II speeds (i.e., 3.0Gbit/s), and the USB side of the eSATAp is USB 2.0 speed (i.e., 480Mbit/s). However, there may be some motherboards or add-on expansion cards that offer eSATA/eSATAp with SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 speeds (i.e., 6.0Gbit/s and 5.0Gbit/s, respectively). You may also find PC case brackets with an eSATA connector on them and a SATA cable leading back into the PC to plug into one of the motherboard's internal SATA connectors in order to use it as an eSATA port. Motherboard's may have a setting in the BIOS that allows internal ports to be specified for eSATA use, which allows drives attached to them to be ejected like a conventional USB (or FireWire) external drive. The main benefit of using eSATA instead of USB is that it does not require any additional overhead for encoding and decoding the SATA protocol insode the USB protocol, which in theory introduces some delay for the conversion and possibly some CPU overhead as well, especially for tasks involving a large amount of disk I/O. In practice, though, there usually isn't an appreciable difference in speed or performance (maybe 1-3%), and the convenience of using a USB connection. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky5 points -

Buying an SSD enclosure with eSATA connectivity?
goretsky reacted to Jim K for a topic
...well because SATA is faster than USB 3.0. SATA is designed specifically for drives...that is its entire reason for existing. USB 3.0 (and USB in general) are the "jack of all trades" but you won't get the speeds ... even with 3.0. Another question is does Linux (or Windows) and the enclosure support TRIM over USB ...TRIM afaik is a SATA command though some USB enclosures support it (for example these StarLink products). Little quirks like that make SATA ideal for Operating System drives vs. running them on USB. Which is why I recommend just getting an enclosure which supports both eSATA and USB 3.0. Use the eSATA for the Linux install...and if down the line you decide it isn't for you just use the USB 3.0 so you can transfer data between computers. I think the product I linked to previously would satisfy your current requirements and give you a little "wiggle room" in the future. Side note: USB nomenclature sucks ... I just noticed Mindovermaster's post above ... which isn't entirely accurate (because USB nomenclature sucks) It is actually... USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) USB 3.2 Gen 2 ----> Formally called USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) USB 3.2 Gen 1 ----> Formally called USB 3.1 Gen 1 ----> Formally called USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) Your board has USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) USB nomenclature sucks.1 point -
COVID-19 tracking app reveals potential scale of the outbreak
hamslammer reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
If you see any headline using the phrase "Chinese Virus" you should probably stop reading that publication... Ummmm...it STARTED in China. SARS is called that for a reason, MERS is called that for a reason, EBOLA is called that for a reason. It's why it needs to be called a CHINESE virus. Sars started in China. This one should be called CARS (China Acute Respiratory Syndrome) Sars (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) No peoples referenced MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) No peoples referenced Ebola, or its proper name (Ebola virus disease) No peoples reference here either. Calling it a "Chinese" virus is just being hateful and racist IMHO. Especially since it not only affects the Chinese people. No, it IS NOT racist! It STARTED in China. Your are playing right into the political correctness realm. Call a spade a spade! Not even your explanation makes any sense. You're so deep in racism, you can't even notice anymore. smh Does the Spanish Flu also anger you? Given the proper context, it might cause me some consternation. Why? Just seems to be a silly thing to get worked up over.1 point -

Freedom of speech has always had it's limitations. That said, this is not a limitation through government, and is more or less a platform rules violation and well within the right of Youtube/Google to manage. Nothing more, nothing less.

Facebook removes multiple white supremacist accounts, groups, and pages
derpityderp reacted to Noir Angel for a topic
The marketplace of ideas is nice in theory, but it doesn't work in practice, because it relies on people being smart, and a fairly large chunk of people aren't. People aren't always won over by the best arguments, in fact in a country where anti intellectual attitudes are treated as a mark of virtue the opposite can in fact be true. Social media companies have no obligation to treat their platforms as a staging ground for bigoted lunatics over which rights should be removed from which minorities.1 point -
