I feel like everyone is talking too much about durability. What about write speeds? Those are gonna suffer a ton. And I think capacities are being overstated. QLC offers 33% higher capacity than TLC. So theoretically, if we had a $100 500gb TLC SSD, I'd guess that a 500gb QLC SSD would be around $80-$90 (gotta factor in other costs like controller and dram). The cost savings really aren't that huge and on the lower capacity versions we could see drastically decreased performance and endurance. -
Isn't that a bit of a safety hazard if everything is wired to the light switch? Not an electrician but it sounds like that might be a bit of an issue....
-
It must be said though that 3D TLC is getting pretty damn good. I'm totally fine with having 64 layer+ TLC in my ssds. QLC though.... I'm still not sure about. Endurance will be pretty poop but I'm also quite worried about write speeds.

They're both PCIE and NVME lol. PCIe refers to the connection. On both drives that's pcie 3.0 x4. NVMe refers to the protocol. Both wd blacks use it. The difference is one of them is newer and uses 3D NAND. Since you didn't originally specify it I'm gonna assume that you're looking at the 3D NAND one? Which is definitely a lot faster. Even so though I currently rate most of the SM2262 based SSDs, the 960 Evo and 970 Evo, the wd black/SanDisk extreme pro 3D, and the upcoming Phison E12 SSDs at around the same level. The EX920 is one of those SM2262 based SSDs that I would say is similar in performance to the wd black 3D but in this case it's quite a bit cheaper.

It's hard to say which to go for because I'm not familiar with your workload. When you say data analysis, is all the data stored in storage or is it loaded into ram or something? I would personally get a different ssd than those though. In the US an mx500 is $65 and better than a blue 3D. You could also grab an HP EX920 250gb for a little less than $80, which would be a lot better than the wd black. If you want to be safe you could grab the ex920 as it isn't too much more. If you need more storage space though a 500gb mx500 is only $100. And I believe the ex920 does drop a fair bit in performance when full.

How much does each cost?

I wasn't expecting it to cool it well but the fact that appleinsider.com tries so hard to defend apple even though it's blatantly obvious they have cooling issues bugs me. And they don't even make a good argument. Then again, what should I have expected from a site called "appleinsider", lol.

The logic of this article is infuriating.
Quoteportables, Lee's findings are somewhat questionable in that assumptions are being made based on a single machine's performance with an unoptimized app. Making blanket statements without thorough testing is reckless at best and disingenuous at worst.
While Lee failed to reach out to Apple for comment, it is highly unlikely that the company would ship a flagship product without first rigorously testing its performance. That goes double for a device like MacBook Pro, considering the company's renewed vigor to serve the professional market.
The logic makes no sense. It doesn't matter if premier is "optimized" for the macs or not. The fact of the matter is that when the i9 is loaded up to max load that the cpu thermal throttles to below its base clock speed. If the apps are more optimized, all that would do is decrease rendering times, not decrease the TDP. The fact of the matter is that the cooling system in the i9 MBP is not capable of dissipating the heat generated by the 8950HK when at full load and running at its base clock.
It is possible that Dave2D got a bad sample. However, I don't think this is super likely: I doubt there would be cooling differences this vast between different units. And if it was true, that would also be really bad. This would indicate that the variance in cooling performance between different units of the same model MBP is very large, indicating bad QC. This type of thing SHOULD NOT be happening on a $3000+ machine.
Either way, Apple screwed up. And appleinsider does a very poor job of defending them.

I was wondering why I had 50 notifications after two days if I hadn't talked in many topics recently and it turns out that I had like 30 from your status updates lol
BTW nice job on winning an 8700k! You gonna buy a board and ram for it or sell it?
-
Prices look pretty constant to me lol

That's a really badly thought out name lol

That sounds like a hassle though... a 2tb one means you don't have to bother. Or if you really insist just save some cash and get a 1tb ssd

Building your own pc is still a very small market though, compared to the number of prebuilts out there.

You could buy something like this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811999379 Alternatively, this would be cheaper though you get less customization https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811999383

You can't use the RGB then
-
Both are solid PSUs, but seeing as the RMx is higher wattage you may as well go with that.
-
Is USB debugging enabled? I'm not sure about OEM unlocking but you definitely need to enable usb debugging
-
Is OEM unlocking enabled in developer options.
-
Budget?

This guy is good, if you want 650w it's 10 quid extra but you don't really need it. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/bkp323/seasonic-focus-plus-gold-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-550fx

OLED is a broad term. My understanding is lots of companies have patents for their way of making them. Samsung probably has some; from wikipedia, LG seems to have a licensing agreement of sorts for their's
-
Stuff like black crush and color banding was mostly caused by the poor DDIC. I wonder if LG might perhaps use the Synaptics DDIC shown at ces. Idk if it's ready to be sold yet but if they used it that could be interesting.

The pc will be greatly affected? I guess you could argue this, since if you went for an 8100 + gtx 1060 you would have a lot better performance right now, but don't have as much room cpu wise in the future. The lags and stutters part isn't true though: gpu bottlenecks don't result in lags and stutters unless the gpu itself is bottlenecked by the vram. Usually cpu bottlenecks result in lags and stutters.

Would you consider my CPU cooler to be defective?
DocSwag replied to Tosa's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Just gotta make sure, is the pump plugged in? -
Usually going past 3200 is pretty hard on ryzen. Especially on ryzen 1. Ryzen 2 is a fair bit better memory stability wise. If you bought the stuff recently, why not go for a 2700/x + x470 board?
