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 -

With regards to the same key on 2 different drives (whereby the drive is the only difference) you should be fine.

Firefox 75.0 released for download
Satico Satellite reacted to Im_Special for a topic
Maybe because it's avaibile and this is a tech site? Well okay Windows 10 2004 is also available now, why not say it has been released too. If it is isn't showing on the official homepage and it isn't coming through the updater then it hasn't been released regardless or not of the binaries being on the mirrors ready for download. Nice attempt to save face with that straw-man argument, when official "finalized" Window 10 builds get released, they do get announced from all over for people who want to download them early, you also do know that MS does stage-roll outs right?... So by your logic people who still haven't gotten the update though Windows Update (because this can take months and months for some), then I guess those builds aren't official... because logic. You say "Windows 10 2004 is also available... blah blah". They do! You see it all the time, ie. For Slow Ring, Fast Ring, Insiders, etc. What was your point here?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 -

Apple may bring the notch and Face ID to MacBooks

What this should hopefully mean is also a better webcam. I'm not a Mac user, but it's pretty stupid to be throwing good cameras and LIDAR on an iPad Pro, but you can't get beyond 720p on a webcam for the Macbook... That should've been fixed a long time ago. If they can do that with FaceID, it'll be a welcome change.1 point -
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
