    Sanyo Eneloop batteries - charging and analyzing questions

    My point is that the battery longevity is quite good. Normally I only run a test on new cells. I remember when rechargeable AA cells had a capacity of 450mAh and could barely hold a fresh charge after four years of age. ;)

    1000 years of European boarder changes

    In olden times a country may have sold the land as they figured it would be taken over eventually anyway. You forgot the Gadsden Purchase. ;) The acquisition of Florida is also considered by some to be a purchase.

    This must be slow, DD: Time to upgrade?

    Yeah. Who know why the board failed. It was not exactly the fastest CPU even back then, so it's time to move on.

    Motorsport

    I suppose the unnecessary complexity may produce interesting results in the first few races, but after a while it may settle down to the same boring 3-4 lead changes in a race. F1 is one of my least faviute forms of racing though.

    Sanyo Eneloop batteries - charging and analyzing questions

    Normally I charge the 2000mAh Eneloop AA cells at 700mA. I maintain a nearly constant 22°C temperature year around, so there is no issue with heat. I don't think you should rely on old batteries, especially if they have not been charged for 6 years. However, Eneloops last longer than most...

    Sanyo Eneloop batteries - charging and analyzing questions

    Those charge/discharge rates are reasonable. However, if the batteries will be charged in a warm environment you may want to use a small fan. The capacities will vary bit and the charger is probably not calibrated to a NIST traceable standard. IOW, just use them and don't get too crazy.

    No, it was a legit medical procedure. They sliced me up and everything. Recovery is difficult by myself. At least they took all the tubes out. I should have rigged up some seatbolts for the toilet.

    They basically coerced me into having the sorcery. Apparently I'm only 33%, so it's not quite clear how the outcome will be. So far, it's worse than when I was crushed in the car accident. :puke-r:

    SSD RAIDs Revisited

    The reason I want the two SSDs in an array is to keep the partition at a usable size (960GB is too small for anything) and to avoid any need for additional letters. I also need to back up those drives. In total there are 52TB of drives on this system, so it is a hassle to make a significant...

    SSD RAIDs Revisited

    I tried striping three different ways (including the LSI hardware RAID 0), but real-world throughput is lower than a single drive. It looks fine on the stupid benchmarks though.

    SSD RAIDs Revisited

    I decided to use only two of the SSDs, rather than three. I wonder how much the performance will deteriorate when the first drive is full and data spans to the second drive.

    Is it acceptable to use a dynamic disk on three SSDs and Spandex mode to create a 3TB parturition? RAID 0 is slower than a single drive.
