But large SSDs still seem to be really high priced.
Like I have 300TB on HDDs. The largest reasonably priced SSD seems to be the Samsung 870 QVO at like $300.
But I really don’t want to have to connect and manage 38 disks…
And at $300 per, that’s over $11,000
Meanwhile I could get 17 18TB HDDs for $3000.
Over $8000 cheaper which is a lot IMO, and 17 disks isn’t so hard to manage compared to 38 IMO.
Collecting things as a hobby has been a thing since forever.
Collecting stamps, collecting coins etc.
How exactly do you “enjoy” a stamp or coin or a whatever collection?
Well I assume that the video output is not HDCP protected? Therefore it assumes you could be recording the hdmi signal or something.
On another note…
Memory bandwidth is down. M2 Pro had 200GB/s, M3 Pro only has 150GB/s. M3 Max only has 400GB/s on the higher binned part.
Just like the low-spec M3 14" has one fewer Thunderbolt port, it also doesn’t officially support Thunderbolt 4 (like M1/M2 before it)
The M3 Pro loses the option for an 8TB SSD. Likely because it was a low volume part for that spec.
The M3 Pro actually has more E-cores than the Max (6 vs 4). Interesting to see them take this away on a higher-specced part; seems like Intel wouldn’t do this
I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily unrealistic.
They found burn-in with 700 hours of 16:9.
But how long should the monitor go before burning in?
3 years? In 1.5 years, 700 hours of 16:9 is only about 1.2 hours a day of 16:9 content which is not unrealistic in the slightest. Even double that is not unrealistic and burn-in in less than 1 year…
That’s certainly problematic.
This is exactly what happened to my monitor. Visible burn-in in 10 months, and 1.5 years on now it’s even worse.
