SSD - Fast and Quiet
Dec 9, 2023 07:43:25 #
I've been using an M.1 as my C drive in computers for years, but now I'm also using an SSD as my D drive. I got Big Red and its 4TB Samsung SSD running a few days ago, and I noticed two things. There is no noise from the drive when it's sorting files; sorting is virtually instantaneous. I have 4,755 jokes in my Jokes folder, and it used to take almost a minute to sort them by name or date, and the process was very noisy. With the SSD, it's instantaneous and silent.

My SSD's don't make noise like my HDD's used to but my desktop still makes a lot of noise from it's 6 fans.

Why so may fans? I'm running an i9 Intel processor with a fan on the processor, one on the desktop and one on the GPU. The one on the GPU comes on only when the GPU is called upon. The one on the desktop runs at a speed proportional to the heat detected by the motherboard.

When ICs are burned-in, they are subjected to a temperature of 125°C to 180°C and under power and load for many hours.
Not like the good ones can't handle a little warmth once in a while.
But they might prefer 70-80°F more?
Your car gets to 140°F in the summer, all the electronics seem to work fine under those conditions.

It's an old workstation. There are 2 on the back. One on the front just below the drive bay. One over the memory slot. One each over each of the 2 processors. The one on the GPU came with the newer GPU I put in. The original GPU didn't have the fan. So counting the one on the GPU it's 7.

I always think of that when I read warnings about avoiding high temperatures. Consider the poor GPS. It's sitting on the hot dashboard, and it's receiving signals and posting info on its screen. It gets hot!

Yes it do!
When parked it goes in the console, for two reasons.

I do the same thing. I think GPS theft has declined from the early days when they were less popular and more expensive. Still, they say that when a thief sees the mount on the dash, he figures there's a GPS inside.
